I used to run into Joe walking around campus...we always had a nice little chat. He was assistant coach when I was an undergraduate... (Class of 1962)...PSU was smaller then. What a great guy...an inspiration. He really built the place...when he walked into the room, everybody was filled with pride and a willingness to help the school. When he asked for money to build a library or something, everybody gave as much as they could. I still have my Wheaties cereal box with his picture on it.
Still miss you, Joe. There will never again be a football coach as great as you, and I’m talking not about the 409 wins and the national championships, but about your outstanding 61-year legacy as a teacher, a promoter of hard work and morals, Success with Honor, and all you did to transform the Penn State of 1950 when you arrived into its current size, status, and world-class excellence. Paterno Library, which you personally funded, is but one example of that. I look forward to the day when you are vindicated, properly honored, and once again proudly feted by the University whose Board of Trustees committed the most terrible acts of fraud, deceit, jealousy, ego, and incompetence that I have ever seen. As shameful as it was infuriating. I consider you to be a second father, Joe, inspiring me to be a better man. This video montage and soundtrack is a great reminder of that. - Class of '79 -

A better place? Not for the many unnecessary victims of Jerry from at least 1998 to 2011 that wer actively enabled and covered up by joe and the three stooges. Not for victims and survivors everywhere that continue to suffer while the world celebrates this criminal.
I can't help but shed a tear while watching this. Joe Paterno was a great man, great educator and most of all a great human being. WE ARE.... Penn State!!!

You obviously know nothing about Joe Paterno and what he stood for. You're nothing but a clueless drone eating up what the media feeds you. I have no time for losers like yourself. FUCK Off!!! 😆
Little man, the facts are clear. Joe pa and through him the upper levels of Pedophile State knew all about Sandusky and did nothing. that actually lied to a grand Jury in 2002. The fact that you do not wish to accept this in no way changes it. Only a small minded shit for brains like yourself refuses to see the truth as you are emotionally attached to a false reality. Not a single member of this group gave a damn about the abuse of these children, And it seems that neither do you. As I have said before, Pedo State should have lost football for 10 years,
Still miss you, Coach. It wasn't until your passing that I really reflected thoughtfully on your contribution to Penn State and your life lived with integrity, purpose, and yes, "Succcess With Honor". Now I consider you a second father, inspiring me to be a better man. This video montage and soundtrack is a great reminder of that. -Class of '79-
I love this video..........and I miss Joe more than I can ever express.....thanks for the memories. Thank you also for all you have done for children for so many years... nobody ever did it better than JoePa....its not hero worship, its the facts. Those that speak so ill of a man who so generously gave of time and money to help children in need are showing lack of knowledge and integrity. Joe did it right. Period.
All he’s done for children? You are callously forgetting the vulnerable children that were abused by Jerry while joe actively kept a lid on it and actively enabled it fir 14 years? Facts should be separate from opinions and emotion.
I never knew to much of Penn State until the passing of Coach Joe Paterno. What a legacy He left behind for all the true Trustees of Penn state !? I wish you all well and hope you will carry on his visions and always be pround of who you are ! RIP Joe Pa !
And the ncaa folded like a house of cards after their fraud and collusion was proven. They should be thankful they were not thrown in jail. Joe PA 409 forever

@@riprock57 Succinct and accurate. Joe and CSS covered up 2001 because of 1998. Penn State was given a report by a licensed psychologist Alycia Chambers that said Sandusky was a pedophile in 1998. If 2001 had gone public and then the media found out about 1998 then "saint" Joe and CSS would have been fired. That plus PSU football sucked in 2001. So, you see not everyone was fooled and it was covered up to protect the image of the university of which football was the face.
riprock 57 - Maybe we met along the way.but the hatred will long outlast any efforts to "win" back the coach's reputation.If they ever bring those administrators to trial,for their parts in this, maybe we will find out more about who knew this and who did that. No one who ever carried a clipboard or strapped on a whistle will ever forget him.
Grambling State's legendary football coach Eddie Robinson is once again the all-time winningest coach in NCAA Division I football history. On Monday, the NCAA announced in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal that it had vacated late Penn State football coach Joe Paterno of his wins from the 1998 to 2011 seasons.
Pitt fan troll. Fail. Your flippant comment is not really about child abuse or 'coverups'. It's your sports-hate and jealousy of Penn State that makes you write such venomous and vile things. It's your chance to "get back" at Penn State, something you and your fellow Pitt trolls couldn't ever do on your own. You couldn't live up to Penn State's ideals and success, so now you try to tear it down, taking crude potshots behind the veil of Jerry Sandusky. You're pretty pitiful and should be ashamed of what you're now doing. Linda Kelly | Pennsylvania Attorney General: "Joe Paterno did the right thing and reported an eye-witness report of child sex abuse by Jerry Sandusky in the football locker room.

Then by your definition, everyone in this country has a hick like love for football. You try telling me that Ohio St., Michigan, Texas, and other big football schools don't have the same passion for the game, or that any sports fan doesn't love to cheer for their team. It's not a student's fault that football was put first just because they were a fan. You can't blame that on the kids! If you're under the impression I support Paterno, I don't. Your comment is a testament to your ignorance.
