Each situation is different, one cannot follow hard and fast rules. Only the coach knows all the details concerning this decision while we are having fun speculating.
Manny Bowen might be getting second chance at PSU
- Thread starter Judge Smails
- Start date
The problem that some folks here have is people going beyond speculation and posting assertions on things they know nothing about. Franklin is going to have to do this, that must have happened, etc. The real shit show is when people assert facts not in evidence. When that happens, people are have a right to object to stop the shit show.
SHIT. SHOW.
I believe he may have been barely academically eligible but did not meet JoePa’s academic standards.
What do you know about Manny's childhood?
Easy for me to say but he was obviously smart enough to graduate high school and he's had 2 years of supervision by the football and support staffs at PSU.

My response was in general and not specific to this post. I agree with you and when people do that they need called out, but I’ve seen post reasonable questions which reasulted in some posters ellicting some less than ideal responses. Not everyone has followed PSU for 30+ years, not everyone has played football, and not everyone carries a burning hatred for every football program other than PSU. So when people ask a question, are critical of an aspect of PSU, or talk about a different program some posters need to f’ing relax. Now if they are trolls, spewing nonsense, or come in disrespectful than by all means I encourage the harsh response.
Just my .02.

Wasn't Bobby Engram suspended for year for stealing a stereo, and the came back to finish a successful Penn State career? Also went on to a very good NFL career.
Would love to see him earn his way back and help the team and himself in the process. I have no idea what he’s done to find himself in this position but if the staff sets a path for him to regain his spot then I’m all for it. This unforgiving world we’ve come to live in with vigilante justice via inuendo and technology isn’t for me. Those closest to the situation, whether coaches or administrators will know best. That’s ok with me.
This is very true. I love most of you guys, but the commentary here is largely from the upper middle class. The thread on prepaying property tax is a nice example. You schmucks with 10k+ per annum property taxes!
Pete was a good dude. He came to a party one night at our house and we found him sleeping in the bath tub. Mellow dude, he was a ton of fun.
Most PSU grads are upper middle class but I have no idea what that has to do with $10k property taxes. You pay that much on a $250k house in NY. Schmucks? More like suckers.
Wasn't he or Jessupie involved in theft before the Liberty Bowl and promptly sent home by JoePa?
The point is that the property tax thread is not one that those in poverty (like the Bowen family for instance) can relate to. The actual figures involved are tertiary.
Pat Daugherty the owner of The Tavern was like family and a mentor to Bobby Engram.
