Paterno died

[ibot2much]

No surprise there. I remember talking about this when the ugly story broke and saying that he would not last long. Lke when a spouse dies, the mate is often not far behind. Having been split from his beloved college, it figured the end would come quickly.

WTF was an 85 yr old with lung cancer doing on the coaching sideline? He couldn't have been doing much coaching.

So the Nittany Lions went 8-1 without much coaching? only to lose 2 of the last 3 games when Paterno was gone?

So the Nittany Lions went 7-2 without much coaching? only to lose 2 of the last 3 games when Paterno was gone?

Someone else had to be doing the heavy lifting. That's usually the way it is with head coaches nevermind an old infirm person dying from lung cancer.

What a mess at Penn State, what a sad ending for Paterno. But, even he admitted to not doing enough.
