Will JoePa get it today

He'll try, but be arrested for assault with a dead weapon.

JOKEPA SURE DIDN'T GET IT YESTERDAY:

Taken from the Altoona Mirror.com-

Unusual day: Paterno occasionally can't hear a question and needs it repeated. Tuesday's press conference was different. He needed many questions repeated and appeared to get confused several times. He called quarterback Rob Bolden "Blocker" on two occasions. Several times he was asked a question and answered something completely different. For example, he was asked about screen passes but responded with an analysis of the entire season. He was asked about playing against running quarterbacks like Terrelle Pryor and thought the question was about his own offense, so he discussed that. This happened much more than normal Tuesday.

Do you hear it? I hear the end coming for JoePa at Penn State. Thank goodness he got his 400th win this season.

Again, an embarassment to the university. I can't even be angry at the Jokester anymore, I feel too sorry for him.

Dude... the absolute BEST was when you said he was asked about Newsome and responded with "WHO????" I laughed my **** off at that and I still tell people about it.

Joe has always been a manipulative, cunning, phony, self-righteous, sanctimonious man, but he's on his last legs...mentally and physically.

He has truly lost his mind, and he's falling apart. It is actually sad to see.

Having Joke continue to coach PSU beyond this year would have been like Ronald Reagan having been allowed to be president and appear in front of the media for the last year of his life. Joke has already lost his dignity, his mind, and his bowels. Someone needs to step in and end his tenure there. The only people who will be able to do that is his wife or his family through an intervention. They need to do an intervention, maybe even one led by a trained counselor (certainly NOT by Spanier or Curley, we all know how that turned out last time). This needs to happen, and it won't be soon enough.

Then, if/when Joke leaves, the fun truly begins. It's my understanding that practices and coaches' meetings are still chaos with as many as 5 different people pulling Alexander Haigs every day (ie "I AM IN CHARGE"). The assistants are like a bunch of peacocks, strutting around, pecking at each other trying to prove who has the most colorful feathers.

JAYPA is going to get the head job. Just wait and see.

I'm not sure what you will have to offer this board if Joepa does retire and Jaypa doesn't get the job? You will have a lot more free time to beg girls on Match.com to meet you.
