Paterno takes issue with 2 games

Thursday, August 2, 2007

CHICAGO - For the record, Joe Paterno has no plans to retire, a subject he was forced to discuss repeatedly this week.
If he were leaving the game, however, he'd go after presiding over 487 games, and only two in which he believed officials intentionally made bad calls.
"One we won and one we lost," Paterno said Wednesday at the Big Ten football media days. "I won't get into it, because I don't think it's fair. You guys can look up who the officials (were)." But Paterno did elaborate somewhat, saying, "The one we won, the coach who lost the game -- that was way back -- he walked off the field and wouldn't talk to me. I called him and he said, 'You've got a bunch of hired hoods,' and he blamed it on me."

LaschOut: Connect the Dots???

Paterno has officially lost it. The old man shouldn't be driving a car, let alone coaching a college football team. No wonder he lets the inmates run the asylum out there.

Last Saturday the following post was made on BWI in regards to a road rage incident on the Penn State campus Friday. (This post was not made by anyone affiliated with BWI).

Yesterday, two grad students (husband and wife)that I know were driving on campus and being followed closely by a white car. The white car passes them and then cuts them off and pins them against the curb. The driver gets out and starts screaming obscenities at the woman (who was driving), flipping both middle fingers and repeatedly saying "do you know who I am!". The irate screaming and cursing by the driver of the white car continues long enough for the campus police to arrive at which time the driver of the white car takes off. The woman is so shaken up that the police ask here if she's OK to drive. The only thing they can think of that set the driver of the white car off was if they were driving too slow. They were both in some state of shock the rest of the day that Joe Paterno, a man they both admired, could act this way. If this is the way our 80 yr. old head coach acts....can we be shocked our team captains act the way they do?

Some national coverage on the off-the-field issues. Too bad JoePa can't trade Morelli for Clausen, then he could share space sticking his head in the sand with his QB.

Off-field issues mounting for Penn St.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) -- Less than a week after running back Austin Scott was suspended for violating a team rule, Penn State coach Joe Paterno said Tuesday that he was looking into the possibility that some Nittany Lions may have been involved in a fight.

The questions come months after Paterno, angry about an April fight involving football players, punished the entire team by making the players pick up garbage the day after games at Beaver Stadium.

...

"Can we talk about Wisconsin?" Paterno asked, interrupting a reporter when the news conference opened with three questions about off-field issues. "We're fine. Let me handle the football team and as soon as I know enough to make some decisions, I'll make them and that'll be it."
