I can already hear people rioting outside my room. I have two exams tomorrow, probably won't sleep at all. Guess this is Graham's final you from beyond the grave.

Yeah. Apparently Happy Valley's blown its lid. How bad do you, as a student, expect it to get up there?

What I hate about it is what he will be remembered by now..They won't remember him for what he did, they'll remember him for the scandal. Oh well, he should have thought of that before he became a pedophile enabler.

Paterno made that school's program and it's school in general as legendary as it is.
Paterno was the only person to speak up at all about it. He went to his superiors AS HE HAD TO. It is NOT his fault that they covered it up. Morally, he should have gone to the authorities. But he spoke up, did what was required of him, and he got fired for it anyways.
Morally, he'll have to deal with it in his afterlife. But legally, he did nothing wrong and for all he did for that school deserved to leave at the end of the season with a little bit of dignity. He deserved that much for not doing anything wrong from the LEGAL standpoint.

Never thought I'd see the headline "Joe Paterno fired" Not a soul who knows anything about him would ever have seen that coming. I'm not even a Penn State fan at all, and this is just like...ugh.

I pray to god Paterno's health is well enough to get through this. I was chatting with my mum about this earlier, and Mark Madden talked about it on his show (yes, that guy...he's Pittsburgh's sports DJ) and everyone seems to think that his health's just going to go downhill because of all of this. Not that any of us are doctors, but it's just a common thought.

If Paterno's gone I want McQueary to be next. He's more at fault then Joe Pa.

I am happy Paterno got fired. And I don't understand at all how people can still defend him as if he did nothing wrong. He knew all the crap that was going on and did nothing about it. Sure, he reported it to someone, but he knew that they didn't do anything to stop it. IMO you have to be a real sick bastard to know something like that is going on and that nobody is doing anything about it, yet you still go on as if nothing happened. He said that he did all he could do according to the rules, but I'm pretty sure nobody would've given a rat's ass if he broke the rules. He was going to resign after the season, and he wouldn't have been resigning if he thought he did nothing wrong. He was fired, and he wouldn't have been fired if he was innocent. I don't care if he was a good coach or not, if you know something like this is going on and you just brush it off as if it were nothing then you deserve to get canned. It's unbelievable to me that god knows how many people are still defending him and acting like Penn State is terrible now for firing him. They really had no other choice. I was a Penn State fan up until all this news came out. I know a high school football player who had a scholarship to play for Penn State and he's turning down the scholarship now because of this. Oh well that's just my opinion.

Anyone else a little stunned that McQueary is being looked at as more innocent that Joe Pa is being viewed as? McQueary saw the damn thing himself.
