Nike will donate 400K to the Paterno/Pattee Library in honor of Joe's 400th win. Way to go Nike.

That's pretty awesome.

This is BSD, the crazy stirs itself.

I'm very relieved.

When I first read the title of the post I figured it would be with some “pro combat” version of our unis or whatever. Maybe a special model shoe (which would actually be pretty cool, considering the kind he gets are out of production). But they did it the JoePa way with the donation to the library.

How big of a seller do you think a "JoePa" shoe would get in State College?

Those things would fly off the shelves.

I'm on the Internet cause I'm an Internet thug.

I would kill for the power of Joe Paterno

Just last month my wife broke the bad news that Calven Klein no longer makes my favorite underwear. I’ve been chafing ever since.

I was terrified of the same thing

The first thing that came to mind was a “donation” of new uniforms for PSU leading to our eventual Oregon-ification and my inevitable disgust-induced thrusting of my body in front of a speeding bus.

But thank you Nike, this was a classy gift.

This is by far the coolest thing I've heard all day.

Thanks Nike!

That's great, but..

…UConn wants us to find out what strings are attached? Is Nike going to try to be involved with hiring a new coach that will change our uniforms to something more Nike?
