Joe Pa still kicks it old school
Penn State coach Joe Paterno has seemingly not changed. He lives in the same cozy ranch-style house and, until recently, walked through campus to work. He turns in most nights around 10:30 while watching game film, pencil in hand. He does not have a cellphone, has never sent an e-mail message. He laughed when the NCAA banned text messaging between coaches and recruits this summer. "I get a big kick out of all the fuss," Paterno said. "I thought it was tech messaging -- T-E-C-H."

This guy has alway had class, even when he was taking crap for losing records, and somebody should tell the sports press in general and ABC in particular to respect this guy all the way. Coaches like him really don't exist in college football anymore.

Pitt fan= No like Penn State esp Paterno
Ive give him credit he is a good coach, but he is like 90 and needs to retire so he doesn't die on the sideline. I mean he almost got killed last year during the Wisconsin game.
