I was never a Penn State fan. I've respected that the school developed some of the best linebackers of all-time. I've never liked their plain uniforms without names on the back of the jerseys. When ex-Florida State coach Bobby Bowden and Joe Pa were going neck and neck for the all-time Division 1 win record, I was pulling for Bowden. From 2000-2005, Paterno's record 26-33, most coaches for a high profile program would have been fired during that period, but Joe Pa survived even when the powers that be of Penn State suggested he retire. You have to realize that Paterno turned 74 during the 2000 season.
It's unfortunate that Paterno will forever be tainted by Sandusky.
