Sticks and stones may break Joe Pa's bones, but some male Aggie cheerleader's comments will never hurt him. [KSAT.com]
Hey, guess which coach makes more money than Joe Paterno. Well, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes ... okay, I'm thinking piss poor mid-major teams. You guessed it, Temple's Al Golden. [The 700 Level]

JoePa Will Put Your Ass To Work
We love Joe Paterno. Whereas many coaches would discipline their players for a campus fight by suspending them or — more likely — not doing anything at all, the Penn State legend is forcing them to clean the inside of the stadium. More »

Everybody Should Have A Nittany Lion At Their Party
Looks like when it's offseason at Penn State, it's pretty tough for the beloved JoePa to keep a firm grip on the ears of his players. Because some Nittany Lions could be in some serious trouble after a weekend altercation. More »

Thinking Good Thoughts For JoePa
If you haven't seen the "highlight" yet, here's video of Joe Paterno's broken leg accident on Saturday. We are extremely fond of Paterno — we always find him lovable; we want him to read us a story or something — and hope he has a speedy recovery, or as speedy a recovery that a 79-year-old man can have. Penn State officials said he was going over game tapes yesterday to prepare for next week's game, which is even more impressive considering Penn State is playing Temple. More »

The organization has taken issue with Paterno's comments about Florida State linebacker A.J. Nicholson, who was accused of rape in a Florida hotel room. Here's what JoePa said: More »

Some 1 A.M. Bowl Goodness
We're never reminded more of just how old we're getting than when we watch college freshmen play sports. Penn State kicker Kevin Kelly, we swear, has to be lying on his birth certificate; there's no way he's older than 12. The poor kid finally erased the chances he'd be a Buckner-type goat by finally squeaking through a 29-yard field goal to beat Florida State in triple overtime. Kelly — who is as many years younger than his coach as Phil Jackson is years old — not only doesn't have any peach fuzz on his chin yet, he appears to have zits and a cowlick. There are times we feel perverse putting such value on these sports, on one kick, and last night was one of them. More »

Joe Paterno ... Closet Raci -- You Know, We Don't Have The Energy Anymore

Does Joe Pa Hate Lesbians Too?
Yesterday, we made a glib remark about Joe Paterno and Penn State's homophobic coach, because hey, we're a blog, we're glib, it's what we do. We joked that you could say what you want about Joe Paterno, but at least unlike his women's basketball coach, he didn't hate lesbians. More »
