I'm always reminded of Joe's superior intelligence when he said what he did about leaving CFB to the Switzers and Sherrills of the world. Interesting how that turned out, no? Both of those two have better reputations than Paterno, neither were involved in such an epic scandal.
Regardless of your opinion Fake Barry, Paterno's comments about Switzer, Sherrill et al have become reality. The D1 student-athlete model has been dismantled piece by piece, each year since that speech. Interesting that Joe in this Hall of Fame induction speech takes a few minutes to ask those in attendance about their experience and he says 'we shouldn't let it (college athletics) disappear." Who does that? Who among our glorified gym teachers acting as college football leaders would even think about having everyone in the room participate in their HOF speech? In any event, its gone. Joe's comments are even more prescient today. End of the student-athlete model -- that's exactly what has happened in the name of the adult dollar. Just a few minutes ago Penn State lost its top recruit for next year because of NIL and another top recruit posted his frustration about the current state of things on social media. The Game is over. Joe warned us. Turn out the lights. The party is over.

I don't recall mentioning anything regards to "what about". I know what google and "whataboutism" is, you just took the bait like a catfish!

I am sorry for your loss.
Ah, so you are a liar as well. Good to know.

Unfortunately you seem to have failed to grasp the meaning of the term. It isn't necessary to use the exact text "what about", and it certainly isn't necessary to know the definition to practice it as you have done so quite masterfully.

You really want to talk about dead people, old man? Your karma seems to be spot on in that regard.
The deceased....Joe, your alleged mother, and karma all topics you initiated.
But speaking of your mother.....one can only imagine the shame and anguish she died with, knowing she was responsible for creating you.

I didn’t go to Penn State, but I always say I went on the “weekend program”.

Even though I never paid a dollar in tuition, I received an incredible education from Joe.

His humble approach and life lessons live within me to this day.

RIP Joe.
Well said. This made my day. Thanks for this reminder of how lucky we’ve been.

Fake dinglbarry aka mbe34 has posted as JVPaterno, judasshuttlesworth, Andrea DiMaggio, Bernie McCue and other Penn State related names.

He was too stupid to realize some of the people were deceased. Or he didn't care.

He made up phony Facebook pages with locations ripped off from movies. The McCue page had a picture of some Amish man riding a horse drawn wagon. Which was stupid because McCue wasn't Amish.

The guy is a Pitt clown. Time for me to put him on ignore.

10 more years
LOL 10 more years of the legendary Jimmy Franklin, thanks to Sandy Dumbshit. Quite the legacy for her, to consign the program to the shitheap for a decade. Gotta hand it to the BOT, they do things the right way. We all love the BOT and their wonderfully wise decisions.

No worries though, we can always jerk to Joe, his reputation is crap but he has 409 and is the neatest and the bestest.

Looking forward to 10 more years of "Success with Honor" examples being displayed in such obvious ways by our leadership. We Are ..... in love with the future of the program and university. After all, we have the trump card with pnnylion as the poster boy for the Grand Experiment.

As always Barry, you show your expert ability to wade through the BS and cut right to the truth of the matter. Truly amazing, keep up the great work.
