From The Washington Times<\/a><\/p>\n STATE COLLEGE, Pa. \u2014 In the middle of Curtin Road, John Matko<\/a> held one handwritten sign in his right hand and rested another against his jeans. Two inches of black tape obscured Penn State\u2019s logo on the 34-year-old father\u2019s hat, as he tried to ignore the jeers, slaps and beer hurled at him.<\/p>\n \u201cPut abused kids first,\u201d one of Matko<\/a>\u2019s signs read. \u201cDon\u2019t be fooled, they all knew. Tom Bradley<\/a>, everyone must go.\u201d<\/p>\n Penn State’s Beaver Stadium<\/a> loomed 30 yards away, rumbling with the first roars of Saturday\u2019s game with Nebraska. The sea of blue-clad supporters wearing gray fedoras and camouflage hunting jackets and \u201cThis is JoePa\u2019s house\u201d T-shirts parted around Matko<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThat is such bull\u2013-!\u201d one young woman screamed at him after glancing at the signs. \u201cWho the f\u2013 do you think you are?\u201d<\/p>\n Eyes hidden by blue aviator sunglasses, Matko<\/a> didn\u2019t respond.<\/p>\n A beer showered Matko<\/a>. One man slapped his stomach. Another called him a \u201cp\u2013-.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI understand the culture,\u201d said Matko<\/a>, who graduated from Penn State in 2000 with a degree in nutrition. \u201cI was part of it. It doesn\u2019t surprise me what I\u2019m getting from them.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/a>Matko<\/a> drove three hours from his home in Pittsburgh on Saturday morning. He was tired of reading about what university officials didn\u2019t do in the wake of Sandusky<\/a>\u2019s charges. The father of a 4-year-old boy, he couldn\u2019t stop thinking about the 23 pages of horror in the grand jury\u2019s indicA passer-by kicked it.<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019re going to get your a\u2014 kicked, man,\u201d a man bellowed.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s bull\u2013-, guy,\u201d another said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
