Allow me to clarify:
I grew up 4 hours from State Penn. I've had friends, family and everyone else run their mouths to me about Miami for 30+ years, which is fine. I had no problem telling them to eat a bag of ****s in the context of sport.
When the Nevin Shapiro **** dropped it went to another level. Imagine every biased, bull**** negative narrative said about Miami on steroids, as if me being a fan of the University of Miami was an indictment on me as a person. A lot of people spoke to me as if they had some moral high ground to stand on because Kellen Winslow got a free lap dance. It was mind-boggling and it got old, quick.
When Jerry Sandusky happened, I didn't rush to spike the football because I'm not a mouth-breather who's livelihood hinges entirely on whether my favorite CFB wins or loses. It wasn't about sports; I can't think of a more heinous act than child rape and most of my friends who are PSU alums/fans felt the same way - they were disgusted and embarrassed.
But some of those same mother ****ers who couldn't say "Thug U" enough when Miami came up, some of those ******** were defiant. "Poor JoePa, it's not fair. It had nothing to do with football". Calling for the University Miami to drop football over a boat ride while taking a bullet for a man who turned a blind eye to child rape...yeah, **** those guys. Thats a stain I won't ever let them forget about.
