Get it, but I hate to think Penn State yet again would run scared from the media. Saw enough of that in 2011/2012. Time to stand up for a change.
18 Minute video interview. Worth a listen:
- Thread starter PSUFTG2
- Start date
I think the Paterno family does care and deserves a straight answer as opposed to the BS they've been fed.
WTF. I’m out. Conversation just got exponentially weirder.
Sadly it would be every game. Which is why I don’t think it’ll ever happen. So - how does PSU deal with this? I’d honestly pay Donald Trump wherever he wanted to hold a rally at Beaver Stadium and talk for an hour about how great it would be to name the field after Paterno. Then Russia would take care of the rest….and you’d have at least 50% buy in from the rest of America.
more politics wtf is wrong with you

That may be the way you like your corn flakes, but them folks want to keep their jobs.
I thought it was a damn good simulation of what that speech would sound like, other than missing a Make Penn State Great Again or two
And the constant self appreciation and patting himself on the back. Anyone that starts a conversation with “Believe me…” is a con man and a crook.
"We've been soulless for a number of years now" -- thank you, Anthony, you are spot on
It’s a school for crying out loud. Focus 100% of your time on providing the best education possible for the most affordable price. Anyone that thinks that wouldn’t be Joe’s top priority wasn’t listing to him.
That's the thing, tho. I haven't heard anyone say 'We gotta name it Paterno Field in honor of his being the winningest coach in college football history' or anything like that, really. It's been more of a 'oh yeah, he was a great coach too'. The full emphasis seems to be on his impact on Penn State as a person, a teacher, and a philanthropist. Because he did raise $1B, which the university will never ever see again in a campaign.
Personally we're happy seeing Paterno & Pattee Library. Which I think was supposed to be Sue Paterno & Pattee but SuePa said no dice? We could care less about the name of a field at some boondoggle stadium that's going to bankrupt Penn State.
Not a bad speech.....however that speech doesn't tell the whole story....as football is only 1/4 of what Joe did for PSU. His leadership, fundraising, and promotion for non-football, non-athletic projects is instumental to PSU being what it is today....that is a major part everyone forgets.
This action of being afraid of pushback seems similar to our BOT response to the NCAA's threat of sanctions compared to other schools telling NCAA to pound sand....caving in and scared instead of being strong and proud.
This is certainly a topic worth discussing and I do feel that it’s time we look at something like this or possibly as many have floated, the idea of renaming one of the roads.
But, as always, Lubrano couldn’t help himself and botched the execution. Bringing it up on THON weekend? Lol.

Sue is too humble and kind.
But she and the family deserve this honor and so much more!
It sure has slipped since his passing!
Unfortunately, this Administration has made it pretty clear that it's not happening on their watch. Why Jay and Lubrano are still dancing around with them is beyond me. On second thought, both are pretty stupid.
oh? Well, that fills in the painting a bit. Surely Lubrano sees this, himself.

He knows it. Jay knows it. Why are they doing nothing about it? Probably don't have a clue. Maybe think they can wait it out. That's not going to work.
