Death threats from Penn State fans to the QB

[chugg21]

Lol this kid has been great for them and is why they were undefeated going into that game.

Franklin is a good coach and will probably make the playoffs coaching Slovis at USC next couple years. Their AD has made some good hires really hope they whiff on the next one I despise that school and want them to pick up an early L every year and go away. Sadly they will probably get Rhule and keep it going.

So interested in what happens with Slovis and Daniels. Some other school is going to end up with a stud QB, with it was us!

I think it has to be Slovis hes the better QB.

Daniels won't have to sit a year as a transfer since he went down week 1. If he goes to OU or Bama he has a 90% chance to start. Stay at USC and its a lot lower.

Before coming to Syracuse I worked at the Harrisburg Patriot-News/PennLive, and often helped with Penn State. Some of the stuff we got on a regular basis was just horrific. I haven't covered a ton of teams, but I imagine few fanbases get as toxic as PSU. I decided a long time I would not return to Happy Valley at any point in my career.

You need to start sharing those stories here

They’ve already proven that football wins are more important than the safety of children. I will never be shocked at their actions again, only at the fact they still get recruits.

 

[OrangePA]

Your equivocating saying some mean or unthoughtful things to death threats? Why are you being an apologist for Penn State? Do you really feel like Syracuse is of their ilk?

I think the basic observation is true - too often all of us, to some degree, take athletics a bit too seriously.

 

[Scooch]

I mean, the kid doesn't have dreadlocks, so Penn State fans should be eternally thrilled.

Death threats are not part of any territory. Hope they find the person and let them spend some time in solitary confinement.

Better yet, make them sit in end zone seats for Rutgers games for a season.

in fairness, he was really bad for most of that Minnesota game.

 

[dasher]

I've never threatened another person. I can't think of anything i've said on social media that I would not defend.

Umass to the Big 10? Just kidding

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a thread asking for a kid to be killed over a loss

it was a joke dude. so was the "in fairness"

although, in all honesty - he was terrible for most of that game.

Being terrible should not mean death threats for playing a game. Especially when he doesn’t get paid for it

What is the point of having a hobby or following a team if it doesn't engage you on some deeper levels? Some level of passion show be reached or it's a waste of time. IMO.

It's like real estate investing. Buy the worst house in the best neighborhood.

They aren't in the best neighborhood. Just the opposite. They have no recruiting base. They have no history and no following. They offer no league really anything. Other than being located near me.

I hate PSU as much as anyone. I thought their Gov should have shut them down. (Not realistic, I know.) But I also know that there are a lot of dumb people out there on social media who will say stupid s#|+ just because. I see it every day.

Gov was probably a pedo...That state has a pedo problem in it's government. They all cover for each other. Lot of people disappeared and mysteriously died.

Road trip with Sandusky up the Hershey Highway?

That may be you but there are plenty of people on social media that because of anonymity say stupid, hateful, and evil things to young kids.

However, that fan base was already on double secret probation, so I say... they’re out! Finished!

From Philly to Pittsburg lots of rings in between.

 

[hungrychuck]

There are a lot of deranged fanbases, including ours at times.

But if you've ever met Penn State fans, there is an extra level of creepy cultism there, even in comparison to SEC schools.

 

[pacusewife]

My sister graduated from PSU a few years ago. They sang the alma mater. Apparently you’re not supposed to cackle during the line “may no act of ours bring shame.”

do you think i actually believe he deserves death threats? do you actually believe that?
