BREAKING: BOT to Penn St.: McQueary needs to sit, Doctor Tom Wants Husker Fans Not To Wear Red

Mike McQueary

So the focus of the Penn State story is moving. Moving towards wide receiver coach/recruiting coordinator Mike McQueary.

McQueary, you'll recall, is the graduate assistant who witnessed the alleged sodomizing of a 10-year-old by then assistant coach Jerry Sandusky in 2002. Rather than confront Sandusky, McQueary waited until the next day to inform now former head coach Joe Paterno.

According to published reports the Board of Trustees at Penn State is now asking interim head coach Tom Bradley to not allow McQueary to coach in Saturday's game against Nebraska. That flies in the face of Bradley stating in a press conference today that McQueary will coach. Let's see who wins this battle.

And McQueary is quickly becoming one of the focal points of this story. Commentators and writers throughout the country are asking: "Why did he wait until the next day to say something?" and "Why didn't he try to stop it?". And they are legitimate questions.

It appears that the folks in the formerly Happy Valley don't get it. Either that or their PR people need to be fired. McQueary can't coach on Saturday. He will be a sideshow. He will be the guy everybody in the building will be talking about. And arguably he and others on the field could be at risk by his mere presence.

We will withhold lambasting McQueary, who clearly should have done more than he did as well. In fact, we'd bet money, his first instinct was to worry about what he should say. In unfortunately, that is and was the wrong decision. But, considering the atmosphere and the way things seem to have been done in State College, it isn't surprising.

Mark May over at the four-letter decided to go off... rightfully so...

And Doctor Tom Osborne has a safety concern for Nebraska fans and the possible security issues that could come about- in his mind...

He doesn't want fans to wear red in Happy Valley...
