Actually, he has handled everything as well as you would expect from someone in his position. Yes, let's throw an 84 year old up there in front of the press to answer questions about unsubstantiated allegations.

 

[philballa09]

 a terrible ending.
i think everyone is going, including the staff and president

Although the above article was well written, I did not agree with the final portion stating that Paterno should be allowed to finish out the season and retire "with honor".

Bull****.

This is the last thing I want to have happen, for Paterno to dodge this scandal enough to where the season drags on and sees his career end with the word "retire" instead of "resign/fired".

Does anyone think that may be the ultimate plan here, for Paterno's image to fade away with "retire" attached to it? If he's able to finish out the season, and then retire as a way to remove himself and his name from the situation, that's a bull**** cop-out.

I'm going to the Nebraska/Penn St game this weekend, and I will not be wearing any Penn St gear.

[the wizard]

everyone's gotta go.

if you want to talk about who the next coach should be, which shouldn't even be a concern of anyone's right now: no one who has been around this program should be allowed near any position on this staff. That includes you, Al Golden.

Paterno is gone

Also read that article Gunna posted. Disgusting.

This is not sad.

What happened to the countless children that everybody involved refused to protect is sad.

People getting all sad and gloomy over sports when real human lives have been ruined.

Not going at you but all these people that are completely missing the point that ADULTS did NOTHING to help innocent children from another ADULT.

The Times article confirms what I heard this morning. The Board of Trustees voted Paterno out, he was asked to resign and refused.

IF this is all true, I won't feel sorry for Paterno in the least.  And this is coming from a Penn St alumn.
