I hope the family realizes that the students and alumni are Penn State, and not the Board of Directors. Wishing JoePa all the best.

Let’s put the bitterness aside tonight, folks. Coach would not wish that. Instead let’s all of us put Joe in our hearts and prayers. There will be plenty of time later for the bitterness that is certain to follow. FIght on Joe.

Joe..you’re now going to the Big Game in the Heavenly Hall of Fame and there to greet you with open arms will be The Bear, Knute, Lombardi, the Four Horseman. And now you’ll take on your biggest job of being our Nittany Angel. Thanks for the memories Joe…you will always be a class act.

I have “NO CONFIDENCE” in Peetz. The first thing she should have done was called for reinstatement of Joe Paterno and begged forgiveness for the incredibly poor judgment that she and the other board members showed in being led around by the nose by John Surma, who wouldn’t recognize integrity if he tripped over it, and Mr. Corbett who knew every detail about Sandusky personally for years and yet awarded a purely discretionary gubernatorial grant of millions to Sandusky’s front organization when he became Governor, because Corbett’s big donors were on Sandusky’s board. JoePa reported Sandusky to the head of campus security but none of the others did anything. Now they have caused his death by taking away the thing that mattered most to him – coaching his team for his university, whihc he loved doing for sixty years of his honorable life. God Bless you Joe, and may your tormenters go to hell.
NO CONFIDENCE

JoPa you are in our prayers. I agree that his health has suffered due to a broken heart. Shame on you BOT for breaking the spirit of this man!
