After spending a few hours in the hospital being treated for dehydration, Joe Paterno was sent home and is doing fine.
Penn State coach Joe Paterno spent several hours at a hospital being treated for dehydration before returning home late Thursday.The 81-year-old coach had been working at home late in the morning when he began feeling nauseated and was taken by ambulance to Mount Nittany Medical Center, team spokesman Guido D'Elia said. Paterno had tests at the hospital but was not admitted.
Paterno was released and back home Thursday evening, and doctors determined he suffered from dehydration, team officials said.
Phew. We don't need any more close calls like that one.

The Greatest generation
We tend to forget that Coach Joe is a member of the Greatest Generation that won WWII. Those folks are still tough even if the calendar says they are on the far side of 80. Coach Joe is a National treasure. We want him around as long as possible.

Glad to hear it
It will be an empty day in college football when JoePa isn’t on the sideline. Those of you who travel to road games are probably already well aware, but the guy gets cheers everywhere when he’s introduced… pretty cool.

well....
maybe you need some less even more close calls just to put joepa in the absolute backseat as far as the transition to the next coach. this is a tough tough deal if joe pa ever ends up too far out to deal.
