Every student at PSU should be offered a free ride for the next 8 years!

That said, the students will do whatever the hell they want.

hopefully! Question authority is what I always say!

they have been singing it for years, songs mean different things to different people!

plus, neil diamond was rumored to be gay a long time ago! why ban the song now? GAY doesn't mean pedophile either!

It's a crappy song and way overplayed. I mean it may be fine for an elevator somewhere but the sappy whoa-whoa-whoa doesn't exactly inspire a defensive stop. It isn't unique to PSU nor that entrenched a tradition. Good riddance. And PSU fans aren't victim of some hyper-sensitivity conspiracy here. It isn't like they're changing the Alma Mater or anything.

I guess you being a voting member of the grammys must make you an expert on quality music, and what station are you listening to you old fool, if sweet caroline is overplayed? I never said the fans were victims either, perhaps a reading lesson is in order as well as music!

Yes, I have a very diverse background of musical interests.It is overplayed at sporting events. That is the context. So much so that it has its own paragraph in Wikipedia.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_CarolineYou said "suffer". Victims suffer. PSU fans are not suffering by the removal of this song.The point of this post is lost on me. You either:a) really like Neil Diamondorb) are looking for a weak excuse to take a shot a PSU

as I said I never claimed fans are victims, it's the student body once again being asked to suck it up, Over the line touching me touching you, a direct link to the PSU scandal and sandusky, which is a rediculous stretch, especially for academics. I suppose if cal ripken liked little boys, would they stop the singing of Take me out to the "BALL" game? SERIOUSLY! WTF

*smh*

play it again sam!

Of course they do. Still, there is a definite erotic tone to the song, no matter how tame, and the subject was an 11-year-old girl. I don't see how that isn't creepy, at least a little, and against the backdrop of Jerry Sandusky? I'm not one for censorship, JD, you know that. But this one? I see it.

That's nuts Jack. serious stretch too!

Jack,
remember last night whem Friday made an apperence at the wrong time,as we were discussing how the Cops 'accidentaly shot' 9 peeps as collateral damage?

Sandusky,took that University' legacy' too the gutter,after time has past[and hopefuly a lifer get's a shot at him?] Can speed up the healing process. So everyone can go on with thier lives.

It would heal alot quicker ifn he hung himself.
