| 7. Paterno isn't going to resign just yet. Penn State is having a killer season |
|
I've said it before and I'll stand by it - if PSU beats Nebraska this weekend then I suspect that JoePa will 'retire' at the end of the season but if they lose he may be out next week.
I know it's disgusting to say that but PSU is probably freaking out about all the football dollars they could be losing because of this. Getting a Bowl Bid might be the only way to salvage this season.

| 8. I think he'll soon announce that he's leaving at the end |
|
of the season. I think PSU and Paterno will try to ride it out that long, unless more details emerge.

| 9. I have to agree unless the Nebraska game is a blow-out |
|
I think they should win this weekend but Nebraska is always a tough game and before the scandal it would have been a close match-up. If Nebrakska routs PSU then I would suspect Paterno will resign next week. But if PSU wins then Paterno will wait it thru the rest of the season.

| 10. Whatever, I guess Joe just wants to spend more time with his family. |
|
;-)
But he has won more football games than has Silvio. ;-)

| 11. Paterno actually didn't take real action when he heard about the pedophilia in 2010 |
|
according to the LA Times Grand Jury document. I think he should resign. Screw the good season and the damn greed. http://documents.latimes.com/grand-jury-report-suspected-penn-state-sex-abuse/ |
