Tea and strumpets all around!
Impressive, but the question is how many of those followers are PSU alumni who feel like voting. The demographics skew heavily towards male graduates from '70s, '80s, and '90s. They are less likely to be on Twitter/In and their spouses are on FB (to see grandkids stuff). I would give Jay the upper hand here.
Lots of comments from people saying they’ve never voted before but will. Does Jay‘s spat with Mauti hurt him?
I wonder if Brandon switches to the Forward group when he runs, because they will be running against him if he doesn't. What a disappointment Brandon is, talk about a single issue trustee and then a rubber stamp for everything else.
Need to "invest" more in football to get rid of PSU's operating deficit.FOOTBALL.
Over the last 3+ years, there have been 159 items brought up for Board vote (you can check and see).
157 times - including tuition increases, room and board increases, insanely overpriced capital projects, and a budget that made a historic deficit BIGGER,
Short simply said "Yes".
But, yeah, football. "Whatever we spend on football is never enough"
It is what it is.
(FWIW: I don't think there have been nearly enough "No - we have to do better - and here is how we can" votes. But the top 3, aside from that one guy, wrt saying "No" are Lubrano (#1), Pope and Paterno - FWIW)

So that’s how jay and lubrano got re-elected. Glad we’re finally seeing people take a stand against them.
Is everything sort of revealed and discussed in real time or do some members caucus in advance? Are items known about before meetings?
Football. He's the Trojan horse the OGBOT were happy got elected.
I am on an extended Board break but have taken time to read as much as I reasonably could about all the candidates in this election. As some here know, I have put Penn State in my rear view mirror and no longer live and die with news from Old Main. Still, there will always be a bit of love for Dear Old State deep inside me and so I have tried to be as objective as I could. To the extent anyone cares, and I would think that at least these three do, I am voting for Lubrano, Pope, and Paterno. That said, I will return to my Board sabbatical and hope to be back here in the fall. Until then, have a safe, happy, summer, and may God bless us, every one.
For those of you pounding the “No accomplishments!” drum.

And that’s my question about those three. I highly doubt they are saying no to football, but are most likely saying no to the proposals the way they are written. But…how would I know…none of them communicate with the alumni they supposedly represent.

I’m sure she would support it given her group’s very pro-LGBTQ platform. But can’t say for sure.
PSU Superfan Caroline seems to support the Short/Mauti candidates…Caroline is maybe the biggest PSU fan I’ve ever seen. Just relentless.

Do you think "superfan" has even the slightest clue about even one thing relevant to the PSU BOT? Not that such an absence would disqualify her from being an expert on the topic
She probably has the same knowledge level as some of the candidates.
I’d be comfortable taking her advice on what to wear to a White Out.Do you think "superfan" has even the slightest clue about even one thing relevant to the PSU BOT? Not that such an absence would disqualify her from being an expert on the topic

Yeah, because funding the football program is the only issue PSU faces. How about borrowing at Prime + 15?Do you think "superfan" has even the slightest clue about even one thing relevant to the PSU BOT? Not that such an absence would disqualify her from being an expert on the topic
It was their understanding there would be no math
Everyone knows that the only number that matters is the number of football wins.
Gross misuse of a Medal of Honor recipient- whoever these people are, they're beneath contempt.
I didn't watch or listen and I voted for Pope, Lubrano, and Paterno.
Interesting that this group only promotes two of the three Penn State Forward candidates and then Houston…
