PrintWith the previous thread bound for over 900 comments, here's another for you to keep each other company overnight. It's been a strange, sad night in many ways, for many people. Let's continue to focus on thinking good thoughts for Joe Paterno and his family. Remember that he's more than a football coach -- he's a husband, father, and grandfather to people who are bravely going through this with him.

I was a mess about a few hours ago
But with my good friend here at BSD and my good friend Stolichnaya, I am getting through this night.

My grandmother passed away last summer. And at the wake I spent hours listening to people tell me how much she had touched their lives and helped them. I expected the whole ordeal to be terrible, but thanks to their words it was almost a positive experience. It meant so much to me to hear how much she had done for other people. Since then I’ve made it my goal in life to make sure that I let everyone in my life know that they helped to mold me.

God Bless You Coach Paterno
He has been my hero, my inspiration for over 45 years. This is a very sad day. My daughter turns 21 today. She calls him Grandpa Joe.
My wife and I had the great fortune to spend 30 minutes alone with Coach Paterno in his office in 2008. It is one of the best days of my life. We NEVER talked football; we talked about family and he proclaimed me “Father of the Year”, as having 6 daughters.
I love the man and all he has stood for.
It is so sad and I could never prepare properly for this time, although I knew it would come.
He will fight to the end as he is one tough man.

As long as someone gives a shit.
1999/2000ish. An older sibling, also a PSU alum, was a student in an engineering discipline. He tutored football players on the side, so he had access to Lasch. My folks and I came to visit, and he and one of the players, more of a “reserve” guy, showed us the study area (the carrells stick out), the half-moon video/big screen room, the weight room, and a couple other things. We stopped outside of the door to Joe’s office, but it was locked. Purely by coincidence, the cleaning person, an older gentleman, asked us if we wanted to see the inside. He had to empty the waste baskets. Of course we did. So, he opened the door. When we walked in, to the right was Joe’s desk, as often photographed, then in front of it (I think) a couch, then in front of that, a smaller conference table. Windows, and then to the left, down a small hall, was a kitchenette and I think a shower (he mentioned it), but we did not snoop that far. We wandered for five minutes at most, then left. No pictures, unfortunately, but we weren’t prepared.
Since all of this shit, I wondered whether the guy who let us in was the guy mentioned in certain reports/articles. I don’t recall his age specifically, but I also don’t recall him being terribly old.

I was fortunate. My brother introduced me to some players
and also took me some pretty great places. E.g., I watched the 2002 Super Bowl at Bryan Scott’s apartment in Copper Beech. Not the North Atherton one, but the (then) other one. I think there are more now. My main memory was the stunningness of the gals there.
"Is that a shot at me? 'cause that makes me want to read it all the less."

Stunningness is a great word, might have to steal that. Such a shame that there are times where words are not in existence to describe the moment. That seems like one.
I meet Matt Millen a few times when I was a youth, went to school with one of his kids for a few years, well he was a grade behind me, but at a small catholic grade school. Seems real laid back and very approcahable. Closest I got to “meeting” a player.

And I’ve been told it isn’t fun to be kicked by my heels. So we can double-team the next guy to laugh at me when I slip.

I’ll be back in the area for Thon, and I think it’s just as fun (if not funnier) to make fun on guys who fall.
I’ll gladly team up on them with you.

When I was an undergrad
I had a friend who had an apartment in Cedar brook that overlook the corner of Locust and Beaver right by Canyon. We used to get drunk and laugh at people who fell on the ice coming down the hill on locust lane. I don’t care if that isn’t the most moral thing to do, it was funny to watch girls in 4 inch heels curse when they fell on an ice covered sidewalk.
I guess what I’m trying to say is, sorry to any of the girls I made fun of. But it was still funny to watch.
As a girl who fell
I completely support your actions. It was indeed funny as hell.

I watched a girl completely wipe out on her bike on the asphalt by Mifflin Hall. She was turning, and her tires slid out from under her on the slick asphalt. 3 people ran over to check if she was ok. I chuckled and kept walking. I guess I was a dick. But at the time, I hated students on bikes.
I fell flat on my ass due to an ice puddle by Sharkies once.

Great Man
Joe Paterno is a great man. Well informed and smart people will always remember the man thousands of Penn Staters fondly refer to as “Joe Pa” for his accomplishments on the field, his integral role in Penn State’s growth into the school it is today, his philanthropy, and all he did for his players. The world will never see another Joe Paterno. Few coaches care more about the people they coach than their record of wins and losses. It just so happened that caring about people translated into enormous success for Joe Paterno. He will forever be a hero of mine and will always make me proud to be named Joe.

Yes
Well before he was ever known as JoePa, or the first utterance of “We Are”, we knew we had something special, and so did the the scores of players who made their way to Penn State (before it was colloquially known as Happy Valley outside of…well, Happy Valley). People tend to measure Joe in the here and now, how very different it was in the ’70s. Archaic by comparison.

Everyone has there shortcomings but Joe is all that is good about sport and the human spirit. JoePa, we love you so much and “You are PENN STATE!” We will never forget that!

Support
The comments I have read from fans from rival schools have been amazing. Even Ohio St. fans have been supportive and well wishing. Thank you all for realizing that there will never be another like Joe Paterno

My prayers are with your community from Chicago and Evanston
I’ve always admired Paterno for his high graduation rates and how he did mostly everything (pre-sandusky) right. He’s a good man who fought on the field honorably and was loyal to his institution. Godspeed Joe!

Thanks,
except for the pre-Sandusky comment thrown in there.

Sorry
touchy subject. I should’ve left that out.

Yes you should have,
but thank you for the apology and the kind words.

Yeah
Every damn article about his current condition ends with that. Seems like if you are reporting that he is about to die you wouldn’t finish with “and was shamed..” I should have learned from y’all but do not read the comments on ESPN.com. Sick ****s!

I've said this before
Ignore comments everywhere. They are the lowest of the low.
Sometimes I find myself doing that,
then it really pisses me off. I keep saying I should learn my lesson. But then again, I keep saying that about men, too.

Sounds about right.
Par for BSD After Dark. Since I’m on central time, I’m usually up later than the east coasters!

Early morning hours
are the best time to work and lurk. No phone calls, no interruptions.

Not for me.
I usually don’t go into the office until 9 or 10. Of course, I usually teach until 8 on the nights that I have class, so that’s got something to do with it.

I tend to work until 4 or 5 AM
then catch 4 or 5 hours of sleep, then get back in the saddle again.
Alea iacta est...
I've gotten to where I need more sleep than that!
I have to get at least 7 hours, it seems. I’m getting old!

Supposedly you need less
sleep as you get older. I’m testing that notion. If I get 4 or 5 good hours in one shot and a couple of half hour naps during the rest of the day, I can carry on. Of course, drinking Dew all day long probably helps…
Alea iacta est...
I think that just counts when you get really old!
I can’t go on as little sleep as I could even just a few years ago. But I can’t nap during the day, either.

The gradual decline
If the changes in eyesight, hearing, and memory that I have experienced from 46 to 52 don’t slow down, I’ll just sit in the corner and drool when I reach 60!
Alea iacta est...
Well, I'm 37.
Wow! Almost said 38, but that’s not for another few months! Haven’t really experienced the decline in eyesight and hearing, but my memory isn’t what it used to be (that could be alcohol related, though). The needing more sleep is what I’ve noticed more than anything.

I had a client that told me
(when I was still 38) that the body starts falling apart at 40. Of course I laughed it off then. But after playing soccer and volleyball for ~25 years without significant injury, I finally blew out a knee at 41. Go figure.

comments on espn.com are like the scribbling on a bathroom wall in school
there’s no accountability there. Here, there is because of the SBN community

Yup.
Don’t know why I figured everyone would show respect. Would love for someone to try to say those things in front of one of us.

Alright, y'all.
I’m too lazy to make something to eat, so I think I’m just going to go to bed. Glad today ended the way it did. Nice talking to you all!

It’s good to hear he’s still alive.
I hope he can recover.

Morning!
Hey, you guys remember the time that Onward State tweeted that Joe died yesterday?
Wasn't that HILARIOUS?
I’m still fuming about their (and CBS’) irresponsible actions. Complete nonsense.

I was ripped on Boilo last night and heard Joe died, then still alive, then dead
I think puked around 6am and he was officially dead.
Crappy day so far….RIP Joe
May no act.................

Thank you all for this thread.
And the previous. We mourned, we laughed, and we went to bed hopeful. It did not end as we had hoped, but in a way, it ended as Joe would have liked. The media looking stupid, his loving fans not knowing the pain, and his family by his side. God bless, Joe.
