He was told there was "horseplay and fondling". He turned over that info. It was reported he didn't know what happened and when he was reading what did. He started to cry and get angry. Joe Paterno has been an ideal coach with very high values and ethics. I highly doubt he would of allowed that crapto slide, if he even had a thought of what was happening. McQuery says he did not tell Joe everything. But he gets to keep his job?

now can we call it a riot? they overturned a news van, light poles are being torn down, police using mace... They do the same crapfor big football wins. Media are completely blowing it out of proportion. ESPN was actually hilariously obvious about it. They brought on one reporter who was telling the truth, then booted him off to bring on the sensationalist guy describing it as total anarchy. Stuart Scott just kept fishing for reporters to describe violence that didn't happen or an unruly mob that doesn't exist. I do find it funny that prior to this whole scandal you couldn't pay ESPN to cover us, and now they want to act like they're completely in touch with how the students are feeling. So funny.

In the long run I think this is a good thing for Penn State football and their fans. I mean, not to be an ass about it but Penn St hasnt been, i dont want to say "relevant" because they've had some good years but they've not be Elite like teams such as Ohio State has for instant, in quite some time. Plus Ive always wondered how many players actually turn down going to Penn St not knowing if Paterno would be there for their entire tenure. I think now since PSU still has a "name brand" they can start over from scratch, get a decent up and coming type coach that could really push the program to another level.

LOL, ESPN ever cover anything positive about Penn state . I recall this year they had their top 10 during a day when silas redd did a flip and the TE made a one handed grab off the referee's foot. You know what made the top 10 in place of those two? Two hail mary passes from Div 3 schools . Its amazing the contrast of covererage between espn and BTN. Its been like this for along time at ESPn, becasue psu never gave them anything entertaining to cover. Now guys like that one eyed freak stuart scott and that pervert Steve levy that likes to pea over balconies, practically cream in their pants covering the scandal. It's laughable. Correction: That was Gary miller. Levy's only crime is bein a total douchebag. ;D In the long run I think this is a good thing for Penn State football and their fans.

I think now since PSU still has a "name brand" they can start over from scratch, get a decent up and coming type coach that could really push the program to another level. While they have a name brand, it is severely marred and will take some time to get back the pride that name once carried. However, I agree, It was time for PSU to clean house, certainly not like this, but it was time for PSU to move in a new direction, including a new coach. Love Joe, but his time has passed, it's just a shame he couldn't go out better. I'm hoping when all this is settled, the positives he's done will far out shine this negative he's been associated with.

The media is who I'm the most angry with. No mention of Sandusky (the criminal), no mention of Curley (notified of the incident and said nothing), no mention of McQueary (saw it and said nothing). Nope, all torches and pitchforks pointed at Paterno. I wanted to hold this in but I just can't...
It's funny how Joe Paterno is being figuratively castrated, yet why did the Pope get to keep his job?

Joe Paterno has been doing this for almost 50 years. He's 84. He's been around a long long time. If information of your assistant coach is being brought to you that he is "fondling" a young boy, then why wouldn't you go to the authorities and say "throw that er in jail!" Horseplay and fondling with a 10 year old boy and withholding that information is wrong. Am I saying Paterno did the shit? No. However, he knew something was going on (obviously if he was told about something going on) and as a head figure for Penn State he should've said "look, what is going on because if I find out you are doing something, Sandusky, your ass is gone." Instead, he did NOTHING. He HAD a legacy of being not only the best coach in college football, but probably all of football. Now, because he couldn't be man enough to actually ask and dig a little deeper for child molestation he is gone.

If he knew that much, he had the obligations to get it off his campus, period. In this light and given the circumstances, i have no problem with him being asked to leave at this time.

It's about time someone got Boise. Hopefully this win keeps them out of any big bowl games.

LSU gets whoever wins OU/OSU in the National Title game. Stanford tonight was just brutal. I wouldnt say any of that is a given as of yet. First off LSU has to beat Arkansas. Now, I would pick LSU in the game and would say they are heavily favored...but Arkansas isnt going to be a push over. After that there's going to be some questions if a one loss Bama team is/isnt better then a 1 loss Oklahoma team. Does a Bama team that some would say outplayed LSU but missed their chances deserve another shot? Or does an Oklahoma team that laid an egg against a team not even ranked in the top 25 deserve a shot at the title? Im one that fully believes that if you dont win your conference you shouldnt play for a Nat'l title but at the same time, Its hard to argue against the fact that LSU and Bama are the top 2 teams in the Nation. I think LSU fans would much rather see OSU/OU for the title then Bama.
