On Sunday at an Outback Bowl welcome dinner, two Penn State captains dismissed reports of 84-year-old coach Joe Paterno retiring after the game. Paterno, who recently said he intends to return for the 2011 season, spoke only briefly at the dinner and didn't address the reports, but fifth-year senior receiver and team captain Brett Brackett denied them. Brackett said Paterno hasn't addressed the rumors with the team. "There's been a few things that have been said, but we're around Coach every day," Brackett said. "There's no truth to these rumors at all. ... Nobody understands what he's talking about half the time anyway, so we really DON'T know what Coach does."

Mrs. Paterno says Joe's health is 'fine'

Penn State coach Joe Paterno's wife dismissed as "lies" speculation that her husband's health would serve as a reason for him to resign from the job he has held for 44 years.
"Who started the crazy rumors?" Sue Paterno said, as quoted by website PennState.Scout.com. "He's fine. No one has to identify who starts it. We don't even know where it starts."

JoePa looks better than he did last year at this time, when I thought it would be his last year, and said he's better physically than he's been over the last two years.

But he just embarrassed himself at the B1G media days. The last question he was asked was how he felt about the rule change in college football where taunting before a score could take points off the scoreboard.

Joe had no idea what the guy was asking about, and said it was the first he'd heard of it.

Q - "Coach, what's your feeling about the strengthening of the taunting rule, about the prospect of possibly taking points off the scoreboard?"

JoePa - "I don't know, taking plays off the scoreboard?" ... "I really .. you know ... that's the first time I've heard of that possibility in out game."

This headline from a PSU website, a few days after the 2011 rule changes were approved in April, seems oddly prescient, but for a different reason than they thought. It's not because Joe's so classy, it's because he's clueless about rule changes affecting his team this year.

And here I thought that the above headline meant that those assholes in crappy valley knew they probably wouldn't be scoring too many touchdowns this year.

Fuck State Penn

Fuck Michigan

September can't get here fast enough.

http://espn.go.com/college-football...e-collision-penn-state-nittany-lions-practice

Penn State coach Joe Paterno suffered injuries to his right shoulder and hip when a receiver ran into him during practice Sunday.
Paterno was "blindsided" by a player running a drill during but "walked away after the collision," according to a statement released Monday by the team.
Paterno sustained at least one hairline fracture, a source told ESPN's Joe Schad. But the 84-year-old coach was not expected to require surgery, said Dr. Wayne Sebastianelli, Penn State's director of athletic medicine.
Paterno was taking notes when receiver Devon Smith, a 5-foot-7, 157-pound junior, ran into the coach.
Paterno walked off the field at the end of practice but was cornered by physicians who insisted he be examined.
"He's come back from worse," the source told Schad.
Paterno conducted a coaches' meeting Monday morning via speaker phone from Mount Nittany Medical Center, where he was undergoing tests.

For as much shit as the man gets...he's one old stubborn badass if you ask me. How many 84 year olds could even attempt what he's been doing? He gets run over and he's like "fuck off, i'm fine!"

I have mad respect for Joe Pa even though I wish they'd get shit stomped every Saturday.

It will be sickening if he dies in some accident like this. I'm sure there would be idiotic "he died with his boots on" type bull[Mark May] articles. If he's too stubborn to move on, I don't see why the university wouldn't act to prevent such a senseless outcome. I have great respect for JoePa, but c'mon, is this charade about PSU, the kids, or another record for the head coach? I guess nobody in the administration has the balls to make a stand.
