PSU documentary

  • No Act of Ours, a documentary focusing on the students of PSU, needs some help from PSU faithful, alumni, and anyone interested in hearing a different perspective.

    The story Kelly Dolak wants to share deserves to be heard and they are coming down to the wire for the fundraising deadline with only two days to go. Watch the video, read what she has to say, and consider helping out.

    No Act of Ours kickstart page and twitter linked below.

  • NP, I think it's a story that needs to be told and I've been really impressed from all I've read from No Act of Ours (I've followed it on Twitter since the early part of the trial) and Onward State. From what I can gather, students don't feel like they have been accurately portrayed by the media, if that's the case then they need someone to help them tell their story, that's obviously all Kelly is looking to accomplish. I hope they reach their goals.

    That's a pretty accurate assumption. Frankly, it seems like everybody wants a nuke dropped on Happy Valley. I understand the anger and feelings of hate people have for PSU now but a handful of admins summarize an entire University, fan base, and 500,000+ alumni.

    its the reactions of a minority of PSU fans that cause the anger and outrage. Defending people who shouldn't be defended etc. If people thought PSU fans were more concerned about kids than football than I don't think you'd have as much outrage. But for the most part we think its a cesspool of delusion that was bred to cover for the prestigious football program and its coach.

    Again, that is why you are an idiot.

    I will ask this to you again... which is greater... the 2000 rioters that supported Paterno or the 10000+ people at the candlelight vigil two days later?

    I will wait for your answer.

    I've been waiting since November for someone to respond to that, but sadly, no one has.

    and the hundreds of posts online defending Joe Paterno? The article today where your incoming recruits are going to use little boys being raped to Motivate them to achieve their goals. Its a sick culture that has been designed to protect the football program. I hope PSU gets the death penalty just so some of your fans can wake the hell up and start being human beings and stop being football fans first.

    Penn State football recruits using Jerry Sandusky scandal as motivation

    Fallout surrounding the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal has strengthened the commitment of several members of the Nittany Lions recruiting class of 2013.

    You just take something and turn it into what you want to hear. The recruits are not saying that are going to use little boys being raped as motivation.

  • ehh anything with using that scandal and relating it to football is poor. You can't just sweep it behind you no matter what you want to think. I know they are naive and in HS so I can't really blame them to much for their comments. But they are dumb and the fact is that Happy Valley is still condusive to cover up and scandal as the football team is still #1 and everything else is still a distant second.

    You didn't answer me. What is more indicative... 2000 rioters or 10000 people supporting the victims?

    Still waiting. coffee

    You'll learn quickly that any post mentioning PSU without bashing the school or fans has potential to get downvoted.

    Thanks Msn..instead of people throwing stones, and painting all Penn State folks with one broad brush, they need to hear the story, from their side as well.

    Just can't understand why people love to take kick others when they're down..so many innocent people in that horrible case...the children are always first - and the most important, but there is a whole university of others that were shocked and blindsighted by this heinous crime.
