Who had him as top 4??

I’m feeding the trolls.  I have made a ton of posts saying he doesn’t belong on it.  Some of the psu faithful don’t like said posts.

Which finals opponent of his are you discarding?

I give Mekhi the win bc of Carter locking hands during rideouts but that has nothing to do with Covid years and everything to do with me being an extreme homer.

Over on the Penn State forum, a lot of the cult members (who preach "In Cael We Trust") are either defending Starocci (passively, actively, or passive aggressively), criticizing the reporting (when they are also unaware of what fully happened), or questioning Bartlett's account, words, or actions in either staying at Penn State through the years or now leaving.  It's such a cult obsessed with Iowa; prone to religiosity; and focused on excommunicating anyone who doesn't toe the party line.  

While one naturally shouldn't "convict" solely on this basis,  Starocci's character, as evidenced by his words, tweets, macho posturing and preening, threats to others, and self-involvement have repeatedly raised questions about who he really is; whereas Bartlett comes across as a likable stand-up guy, a supportive team member, and a humble athlete who respects his opponents.

You must have read a different thread than I did.

No one should be eligible for 5 seasons in college.   Or else everyone should be eligible.  I count him as a 4 timer, not a 5 timer.

Clearly they all happened. But I am of the opinion that the fifth one is irrelevant for deciding Mt. Rushmore status. And now I feel a little icky about the other four.

Being the only '5' timer makes it so he likely deserved a spot.

All this?  Gone.
