Sully is an avid tweeter, and a funny one to follow. He showed his more serious and mature side yesterday, though, posting a good amount of tweets on the subject of the Penn State scandal, though he amusingly flip-flops his opinions a little.
Sullinger, an Ohio State (alum??), played in the Big Ten and thus has an idea of the atmosphere in which this was allowed to happen. This post isn't really supposed to controversial or anything; it's just nice to see that we have a mature, worldly young man (in addition to a hard-working one) joining our roster.
Note: each new tweet begins with a ">"

>Last thing: I think this is a message to tell ppl winning and money is never more important than child endangerment. #protecttheppl
It's refreshing to hear an athlete talk like this, after having listened to so many former Penn State players and coaches at other universities saying Paterno "made a mistake." It's so much more than that.
