BHS03 99 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 A part of me says that it's great that he did what he loved for so many years but the other part of me views how much time he missed out on because of football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsfan 21 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Yeah, I know that my tag line is kind of funny with that story. But I did hear it on a national radio show....it appears to have prove true. I don't believe anything Joe Paterno's son says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokie07 11 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 The poor man had nothing else to keep getting him up in the morning, IMHO. Penn State is a better place for him having been there. May his family take comfort. My sentiments as well. He was truly a good guy, IMO. People will remember him because of the scandal and I hate that for him. Did he make a mistake by not reporting it? Absolutely. Would he do it differently if given another chance? I'd say so. Hindsight is 20/20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didnt even act like he was really sorry when the grand jury report went public. He never really looked like he cared one way or another. I doubt he would have done anything differently.

hokie07 11 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I disagree. He didnt even act like he was really sorry when the grand jury report went public. He never really looked like he cared one way or another. I doubt he would have done anything differently. He's been sick with lung cancer and in the hospital. I'll give him a pass on a formal apology. Before that, he was completely exiled from everything Penn State. I'm sure heartbroken doesn't describe it. Wasn't he caught on video crying? Regardless, that isn't really the issue here. He's done a lot of good for not only Penn State football, but for all Penn State students, and was respected by everyone. Again, I'm not justifying his actions or lack thereof in the scandal. I'm just saying that it's easy to get caught up in a single bad thing that happened in his 200 year life. I disagreed with his actions, but I still say he was a decent human being and not the real criminal in this matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Beamer went under .500 for four solid years, VT fans would do everything short of overtake Beamer's house with axes and battering rams.

hokie07 11 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 If Bob Huggins went under .500 for four solid years, WVU fans would do everything short of overtake Huggins' house with axes and battering rams. He's a WVU fan. Fixed it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BHS03 99 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 What did my post have to do with VT or WVU? Not a single thing. Also, if Huggins started to have 4 consecutive losing seasons then I would probably say it's time for him to retire because he has never done that. I wouldn't be so aggressive though.
