they shouldn't take his statue down, they should just turn it around...
so that JoePa can look the other way as he did in real life

(11,304 posts)seemed to get in any trouble. Now I find myself really upset with this man. He knew and did nothing. The higher ups knew and did nothing. The best thing that could of happened to Paterno was his death because people would be so very disappointed in him. His legacy means nothing.

(35,015 posts)As a student at PSU, I attended several of his lectures and I can tell you, the man was inspirational; he could give a fantastic, uplifting speech. And, he always seemed to care about academics. The football players had to keep their grades up to play.
I am struggling with those emotions (what I thought I knew), with those I have for Paterno's involvement in the Sandusky coverup.
It really sucks.

(11,304 posts)He really must of been a fine man. He just lost prospective I guess. Money makes people to things they normally wouldn't do. Funny I bet Paterno never let his children be alone in his company. Not once. Yet he didn't bother with other peoples children. Just like the catholic church and their pervert priests. Turn the other way.
