Joe Pa is gone....(UPDATED)


The end of an era and rightfully so in my opinion. How could the board of trustees do anything else. Paterno is every bit as culpable as the others. He knew and he did nothing. 

Paterno fired over Penn St. child abuse scandal

 STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - Joe Paterno, the Penn State football coach who preached success with honor for half a century but whose legend was shattered by a child sex abuse scandal, was fired Wednesday by the school's board of trustees.

 (UPDATE)
 Riots at Penn State

Riot police were deployed in State College, Pa., on Wednesday night as thousands of Penn State supporters vented their anger at the firing of Joe Paterno amid a scandal over the school's handling of child sexual abuse allegations.

And then there was this.....An Epitaph.....

"Mr. Paterno may have known what it took to win on a football field. He may have known something about courage when facing big men running full tilt toward you, intent on stopping you, but he apparently knew nothing about moral courage, nor how to protect those among us who really need protection. It’s time that we made that distinction plain. And this is a case in which it could not be plainer."
