Black Shoe Diaries Blueout


Just read about the proposed Blueout for the Nebraska game and feel it's a good idea.  Blueout Article

This is an idea the university should promote as much as they can.  The media goes on of the failure of the university to protect innocent children, this is the time to show them that the Penn State family which is a lot more than a few university administrators, does care about children and want to do their part to prevent child abuse.   I won't be at the Nebraska game but family members will be and I'm sure they will donate to organizations that work to prevent crimes against children.

If the accusations against Sandusky are true the victims here are the kids who were abused.  I feel it's time to do our part to help kids presently and in the future so crimes like this are prevented. I have seen the power of the Penn State family to help those in need and if everyone at the game donates a buck or two that would raise over a hundred thousand dollars in a matter of hours to combat child abuse.

Black Shoe Diaries What if Joe and the GA did less?


I wrote deadspin that for everyone jumping on Joe and to a lesser extent the GA for not doing more to report the incident to the authorities what if they actually did less?   The gist of my email is what if the GA decided not to report the issue to Joe, or if he still went ahead and Joe decided to not push it up to superiors or even worse told the GA to in effect forget about it?  Before I go on, I feel the alleged crimes should of been investigated by the proper authorities back when they were first reported and feel if they happened it is a horrible crime and I hope justice does prevail

But back to my original point, how many times have you read about somewhere be it a college, a charity, a corporation, government  office that has a scandal of some type and at every turn the people who could of reported/stopped it turn a blind eye to it completely or even try to cover it up?  Joe possibly had that chance to not do anything or even attempt a cover up, but instead from what we have read that he reported it directly to his superior and asked that it be looked into. 

I do feel more should of been done by everyone involved that heard of the alleged incident but what if less had been done by some of those involved which could cause a greater tragedy.
