surprise. I wish Paterno (or his assistants)
would get a BCS
championship though.

Reminds me of a somewhat sad thing during the OSU/State Penn game. Did you see Paterno at halftime up in the pressbox alone? It was sort of sad, like "Stay here, grandpa, while we go down and take care of business in the lockerroom".

At least when they showed him on TV, he wasn't on the phone or anything, just sitting there by himself. Sad looking to say the least...

yes...

It was also sad after the game with Iowa in the interview.
He was really complimentary of the Iowa team
and the way they played. And he said his kids played
hard. Getting popped 2 or so times on out of bounds plays..
he is safer up there.


Actually I think his last injury was reported as having been
a demonstration of the proper way to onside kick that went awry.
I always like him after he called out Barry Switzer.
