There is no reason to wait. The mess has NOTHING to do with Paterno - at
least to the people who know how to read and comprehend what they read.
To the media, non-PSU fans, and Joe Paterno detractors there will never be a good time because they feel vindicated in their belief that Paterno wasn't the man he made himself out to be. These people will NEVER understand what it means when WE say "WE ARE!!!! .... PENN STATE!!!!" this isn't a chear, it isn't just 4 words spoken in greating, it is a way of life, and fundamental core set of beliefs, ethics, and morals that simply put make us who WE ARE and and brings us together as PENN STATErs. They will never 'get it' because they can't comprehend it. The only thing that comes close is when two Marines talk about 'The Corps'. You can't just 'become a part of it', you are either born with it or not. It is part of you, it is why we say 'I bleed Blue and White'. This is why Pitt, tO$U, Michigan, Miami, Florida, 'Bama, 'Cuse, USC, etc, etc, etc come across as jealous - they just don't get it.
