- Say what you want about ABC/ESPN they continue to do amazing things with pre-game highlight reels and if this does not draw out emotion from you who knows what will.

im not here to debate his legacy, and I have no ties to penn state, but I remember watching this intro/montage when it aired live got choked up and got major goosebumps. it still is one of the greatest intros I've ever seen....
the song choice, the clips, and Musburgers words/voice. thumbs up all around
As a Buckeye, I'd say it captures Joe Pa's positive impact at PSU and on college football. Hats off!
It's hard to believe today has been 2 years since you passed. You had a major impact on my life and many others. You made PSU what it is today. You did more than coach football. You were a great man. No matter what anyone says you are the best NCAA coach. You are COMPLETELY INNOCENT in the whole scandal. No matter what 409 will also be etched in my heart as well as this date. We are because of Joe Pa. Rest easy Joe and thank you so much. Your legacy will never be forgotten! We Are...
best pregame tease of all time! rest in peace, JoePa.
This is the most winning college football coach in the history of the game. And an even better human being. Thank you Coach Paterno for everything you've done for me. And thank you coach for always standing up for the right thing in the face of discrimination, ridicule, and the disgusting cowards who still try to pin someone else's misdoings on you. Rest in peace coach. You are one of the greatest men this world has ever known right up there with MLK.
The world is better because of the changes Joe Paterno brought to education, athletics, literacy, and philanthropy. By the way-I'm a Wisconsin fan. I just recognize heroism when I see it.
Thanks for being a real sports fan and not ranting lunatic who throws all facts to the side to promote a self serving agenda. The world needs more sports fans like you. When I was at the bigten championship game I was so impressed with how nice the Wisconsin fans were after the game I told every Wisconsin fan I saw to hold their head high because they played one hell of a game. and I wasn't just saying that to be nice. You guys played tough. No shame in that.
Vance G DeBravo stop spreading lies.
Greatest Coach of All Time!
Beaver Stadium. The house that Paterno built. We Are.
JoePa, you brought my father and I together. I thank you for the years you dedicated to Penn State. People will slander your legacy and I'm sorry for that...but I know you did your best for that University.
WE ARE PENN STATE!
I echo your sentiments. Same with me and my Dad
One of the best montages ever made.
Thank you for everything, Coach! You will live on in the thousands of lives that you have touched throughout your life. This is the true statement of a man. RIP Joseph Vincent Paterno
No matter who you are a fan of, this man is a legend. I will never forget being in the student section and seeing him "jog" on to the field for the first time with the Blue Band playing. You knew you were in the presence of a legend.
Miss you Joe.
R.I.P Joe Thank you for everything you've done for our great university.
We Are..Penn State!
Always in my heart Joepa you are loved
Christmas 1986. We were visiting my grandparents in Lancaster PA. My grandpa asked me if I wanted to go to the Harrisburg Airport for a rally for the Penn State football team. That was the year they won their 2nd national title. I said yes and remember shaking hands with the likes of Joe Pa, Shane Conlan, DJ Dozier, John Shaffer and Harry Hamilton. Going to that rally was the most awesome experience of my teenage life. RIP Joe Pa. Thanks for the memories.
We miss you, Coach!
God bless, and thanks for all your contributions to Penn State: academics, loyalty, pride in our university, and oh yeah, winning a few football games along the way.
I watch this video about once a month and it gives me chills every time.
I'm an Alabama grad-but Joe Pa is a true living legend. What an amazing man. Not just a coach, or teacher, everything. Incredible. Every Penn State grad should be proud of Joe Paterno and the program he has created.
I am 20 years old. I have had season tickets to the Iowa Hawkeyes for 17 of those years. I live for college football. Most of all, Iowa football. I know Joe Pa won't read this but many PSU fans will. You guys have a great coach. He is the face of college football. Don't take him for granted. He is a great coach and a better guy. We all here in hawkeye nation look up and respect Joe.
Gives me chills every time. We love you joe
I honestly teared up watching this. What a human being. We Are Penn State. We love you JoePA.
I'm 31, was born and raised a PSU fan, I was probably in mom's stomach when I went to my first PSU game. To me, Joe Pa is College Football.
His story is the stuff legends are made of. I can't help but be thankful that I've had the privalege to see this man in action. Something I will be able to tell my grandchildren. "I got to see this man in action" and how I will never forget the memories he's brought me and all the wonderful PSU fans.
beautiful.
you pull for joe-pa whoever you are.
Great man, great human being he wasn't just a coach he was a teacher. Every time I watch this I tear up. RIP JoePa.
Always the #1 coach in my heart. There will never be another.
I will cry like a school girl when they say we have lost Joe Paterno. He will always be a hero to me. I'm a University of Georgia student and a Bulldog fan till the day I die, but I love Joe Paterno so much and am so thankful for him that tonight I consider myself a Nittany Lion. WE ARE PENN STATE. God Bless you Joe pa.
Thank you for your words regarding Joe Pa. It's people like you, fans and alumni from other universities, that validate what Joe meant, not just to Penn State, but to the game of college football. It wasn't just about football. Congrats on your National Championship, well deserved.
Big Buckeye fan here. I think Joe is truly a National Treasure!! We need more like him.
Rest easy JOE ! More than a coach, but a father figure of an entire university. We will dearly miss you.
The entire Nittany Nation loves Joe and will never forget what his teams did on the field. He epitomizes true class in college football
BEST DAMN COACH ALL TIME. WE LOVE YA JOE. 🙏
long live JoePa!! if only the rest of the country could learn to be a little bit more like him with all the good things he did. WE ARE...
Agreed. Everyone, even here in U-M/MSU country, loved Joe Pa.
WE will always LOVE YOU Coach Paterno, none of these comments even matter, we know better than to respond, because WE know who you ARE. Thank you for sharing your life with us. We are so fortunate to have had you as our coach. May you FOREVER rest in Peace, God bless you, WE ARE going to miss YOU!
The picture that shows Joe in the press box looking at the students at 1:45 really shows the true side of Joe Paterno. Hes a great man and lives to help students and young people at Penn State. He cares about the students and they are very important ti him. He has given his life to supporting education and has donated millions of dollars. He built the library at PSU and has helped the school become one of the leading academic schools in the country, His legacy is far more than football.
From my college.. PSU.. Thank you for the competition and the years of great future competition.. cheers to a great rival!
Those of you who choose to try to dirty Joe's name, will fail. He has a legacy, and those who he coached and those who met him were inspired. Joe was loved by all he met, including people who never met him, he is an amazing man who touched thousands of people.
One of the greatest pieces ever made!!!!!!!!!! If you are a college football fan, it does not get any better....
God Bless JoePa! Im not a Penn State fan, but he's a hell of a good coach!
Simply love this man! I am 32, and lifelong Penn State fan... Thanks to my Uncle, I became a fan too young to remember, and Joe Pa is like a 3rd grandfather to me...
What a vid, and the song goes hand in hand!!!
Thanks for keeping this up. I know it causes a lot of mixed emotions
not even a penn state fan but this dudes got mad swag! R.I.P Joe
Im a michigan fan , but i'll even give Penn state there props, I hope they win it all, Joe Pa , have to love him, lol What a legend.
What an absolutely amazing piece. I didn't get to see this until yesterday afternoon since I was at the game, but I'm sure if I'd seen it live I'd have been floored.
this is the best video I have ever seen.. i could cry.. i am so fortunate to have attended penn state over the past four years and to have been in the presence of this great legend
I am a Longhorn and the very first book I read as a kid was the autobiography of Franco Harris. at the young of 5 years old I learned about this special man who took the son of an African American war hero and an Italian immigrant mother and was the most influential man in that young man's life besides his father. I've been a fan of this great coach every since! I hope we (Texas) are able to make it through our brutal schedule. we would be honored to face Joe pa in the b.c.s.c.g. Great montage!
God bless JoePa. Thank you for everything that you have done for the University I can now proudly call my home. I'm so thankful that I was able to watch the legacy coach his last season while I was a student at Penn State. He will forever remain in my heart and as a part of me. WE ARE..
Without Joe Pa Penn State will never be the same. I hope i get to meet him some day.
Good Luck Joe
- From Mount Union, PA
The man had an amazing career and changed countless lives for the better. He gave millions of dollars to the univeristy he loved and I will always admire and be grateful for his life and his dedication.
Legends never die. They live on in our hearts
This is an outstanding video, thanks for posting it so others could enjoy it. Joe Paterno is a fine man and it's impossible to thank him enough for what he has done for college football. Go Penn State and Go Joe Paterno!
I'm also 32, and both my father and grandfather made sure I was a Penn State (and Steelers) fan since birth.
JoePa has always been a class act, and a fine human being.
When I watched this video during the Ohio State game, I felt my own mortality. All those years he's been there...how the times change, but they stay the same. It will be a dark day when JoePa is not on the Penn State sideline. That's when I'll know that I'm aging too...
No question. We are in the presence of a LEGEND.
When JoePa's career comes to an end. He will be remembered as the greatest coaches not only college football, but in the history of the sport. Paterno is a throwback to a bygone era. His desire to instill values in his players and make them better athletes, and better men is something not seen today. A man who turns down partial ownership in the NFL to stay at the college level and make a legendary legacy is something we'll never see again. God bless Joe Paterno.
Thanks for posting ..... great video.
I saw this (obviously without sound) on a TV monitor at Ohio Stadium right before the game ..... just seeing the pictures I had a feeling it was something special.
Im a Buckeye but he was a great coach and a great man.
Hollis Gaskill I am a Lion fan. Woody was a good man also. Respect.
Hollis Gaskill so much respect that you could look for the truth and not the popular belief that joe pa is a bad person, especially since you’re a buckeye fan
I will miss you coach. We will always play in your name. The college won't soon, or ever, forget you.
If you don't like Joe Paterno why bother watching this. If you remember Joe Paterno and his family-there's a reason you're here. So much nastiness written over nothing any of you know. Maybe those who don't like this could find one that makes them happy.
IMHO he will be known as the greatest coach who has the done the most for any institution or franchise in the history of all of sports.
... and I'm a Michigan Fan
"disneyvideo" you are correct!!! God Bless you this CHRISTMAS season!!!
This was awesome. When I saw it live I had to rewind the DVR and watch it again. Joe Pa is the man. Go PSU!
Thank you for everything, Coach.
R.I.P Joe Pa. One the greatest Coaches in all in sports Forever a Nittanylion!..
you were the best coach that this world has ever seen. It's a shame our board of trustees can't distinguish between what is media and what is fact of matter...we'll miss ya Joe. You'll always be in our hearts
Love you Joe. You will be missed by many, but your lessons will never be forgotten.
Joe Paterno You are the greatest Coach in College History! No matter what happnes All Of us Even God knows that we all made mistakes but you chasnged the world in the postive way thank you, Youy are a legend!
Awesome job, ESPN. Awesome job, Brandi. This is a keeper.
Thank you, Coach Paterno. God Bless.
RIP Joe Pa we love you!!!!!
#WEARE
Joepa... You're the soul of Penn State.
Joe Pa will be remembered for the many great things he's done.
Joe Pa, I still say you have over 400 wins, you worked hard and were a great coach you will always be a legend/icon in my mind. Thanks for making Penn State football fun to watch.
A Gator here giving respect where respect is due. True class.
Joe is the greatest coach ever and a maker of great men. Joe deserves our love and support and for his name and reputation to be restored. Many of us will not rest until that is done. The media and especially ESPN and the PSU Board of Trustees owe Joe a huge apology. This is a very good and moral man who deserves nothing but our respect and love
Joe Paterno is going to live forever.
Everyone of you posters can have your opinions, this is a free country. But when you have sports icons and living legends come on national television to show there respect and talk about what a great man Joe Paterno was, you better criticize every one of them for supporting JoePa and having nothing but amazing things to say about the man. How he changed there lives and lived. Long Live Joe Paterno, your Penn St. family will always love you!!!
Man, I've got goosebumps all over!
It's so hard to believe he's gone
One thing that will never change. Through this whole thing. Is that we still are and will always be Penn State.
I cannot belive all the people that are bringing shame to Joe Paterno, he is one of the greatest men to ever live and has done so much for The Pennsylvania State University. Why would a man who cares so much about his University do anything to disgrace it. I stood on a stage at 8 years old crying for the loss of my grandfather, only to look out and see Joe was there, I know first hand from the friendship they had how wonderful of a man he is, and he doesnt deserve any of this.
This is a great video to show respect for the legendary Joe Paterno. Nice video. :D
Rest in peace Joe. Thank you for everything.
Heroes are remembered, but LEGENDS never die.
We love you Joe Pa
My Dad, Two Uncles and Cousin went to Penn State. My Cousin goes there now. I should've gone there. But no matter, JoePa and Penn State are special to me. JoePa DOES NOT deserve the anger he's been shown. WE ARE PENN STATE!
I love you, Joe.
Wow...this makes me tear up every time..go get em Nits...win one for the legend.
i dont care what anyone says. joe pa is an inspiration
Love ya Joe Pa... great program you have. I will always enjoy you and Penn State winning as long as its behind the Hawkeyes! Finish the season strong. Go Hawks!
RIP the GREATEST coach in college football history, and always will be.
I spent the better part of my life going to PSU games, watching him on the sidelines.How do you think they'll do this year? was the question that didn't need reference when my grandfather asked it. It was in reference to PSU and JoePa's team. He's gone now, no longer the coach. But to me, and many like me, he'll always be the coach. And it seems he's not going to be around much longer to see those who'd wish to see his name run through the mud succeed. Thank god for that. He's a great man.
R.I.P you will never be forgotten
Musberger is a narration god. This piece is incredible. Thanks ESPN.
wow i love joe pa... amazing coach
this is an awesome video and i hope he coaches for as long as he possibly can... i was pulling for ohio state but after this i wanted penn state all the way
but go UGA!!!!
love you JoePa
This is a wonderful montage. We Are...
legends never die!
We Are....
Coaches like Joepa are a dying breed; so hard to find classy, dedicated coaches anymore.
this almost makes me cry, knowing hell prolly be gone soon and all, such a prestigeous person.
We Miss You Joepa
God i miss him
I will still forever love Joe Paterno!!!!!
rip joe pa a long life of right living may he rest in peace. saw his wife sue on a cooking segment she said" survival of the non-Italian" i liked her immediately.the one who is on trial is not deceased. farewell to a legend
