Congrats to Joe Pa for reaching the milestone.

That was not the most exciting game IMO. The Illinois/Michigan game was unbelievable. 67-65 Michigan in 3 OT.

Great documentary PT S. A must for any college football fan, whether they root for the teams or not. I loved the part when reporters asked Hayes why he went for a 2 pt. conversion when the game was already decided. His reply, "They wouldn't let me go for three".

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Joe Paterno’s tenure as coach of the Penn State football team will soon be over, perhaps within days or weeks, in the wake of a sex-abuse scandal that has implicated university officials, according to two people briefed on conversations among the university’s top officials.

  • The board of trustees has yet to determine the precise timing of Paterno’s exit, but it is clear that the man who has more victories than any other coach at college football’s top level and who made Penn State a prestigious national brand will not survive to coach another season. Discussions about how to manage his departure have begun, according to the two people.
    Paterno was to have held a news conference Tuesday but the university canceled it less than an hour before it was scheduled to start.

Penn State takes down Joe Paterno statue outside Beaver Stadium

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — The famed statue of Joe Paterno was taken down from outside
the Penn State football stadium Sunday, eliminating a key piece of the iconography
surrounding the once-sainted football coach accused of burying child sex abuse
allegations against a retired assistant.

Workers lifted the 7-foot-tall statue off its base and used a forklift to move it into
Beaver Stadium as the 100 to 150 students watching chanted, "We are Penn State."

That is very tough sanctions.
I will not comment a thumbs up or thumbs down, but talk about tough ruling.

My problem with these types of sanctions is that, for the most part, they impact people (current students/athletes) who had nothing to do with the scandal in the first place.

i think the sanctions and fines should be on the people who enabled j.s. to rape kids. having a office and keys to the facilities"locker rooms/showers"puts the board and trustees of ped-state on the hot seat imo.
