Better article than I anticipated

And goes a long way towards changing my perception that he is a moron.

Best quote of the article comes from Joe, back when Quarless was in the doghouse…
“He was spoiled. There’s nothing worse than a hot shot from Long Island.”

agreed on all counts

much better article than I expected, and completely turned my opinion of Quarless around. Didn’t know he completely gave up drinking (at least while at Penn State).

Also: there’s nothing worse than a hot shot from Long Island"

Best line for me:
“I was [lucky] enough to have God on my side — and Joe. He gave me that chance.”

Its time for a new sig.

"I was enough to have God on my side -- and Joe. He gave me that chance." - Andrew Quarless

sophomore last year.

Assuming the long walks in the morning haven’t affected her academic standing too much, she’d be a junior now.

Really?

She wouldn’t be a grad student by now? Or on “I didn’t know I was Pregnant”?

I had a summer class with Quarless

and I always seemed to pass him on Sunday mornings on my way to church. I can’t say I knew him incredibly well, but I knew him. He’s a genuinely nice guy who had some growing up to do. I don’t know that he succeeds the way he has without tough love from Joe.

I've got the brains. You've got the looks. Let's make lots of money.

Yep, kids gotta grow up

That’s what I like about not oversigning. It gives the kids who need some tough love a chance to work it out instead of cutting them from the team. And if they’re still good enough to play while being immature 18 year olds, then it teaches them a life lesson that they don’t get when being treated as primadonnas. I mean pre-madonnas . . . . aka ciccones.

You could have traced my path to his house north of campus

by the trail of vomit I would have left if I had to face Joe like that. That takes balls.

by dawsonPSU10 on Feb 4, 2011 3:30 PM EST reply actions  

Agreed

That’s the type of story you want the guys on the team and incoming recruits to read and hopefully understand. Even though Joe takes a lot of flak for being such a hardass and being tough on kids in the doghouse — there is always a reason and it is usually tailored to the needs of that individual.

He is looking out for your life – not just your football career.
