No JoPa


Jo Paterno will miss his first game (this Saturday) since I was less than a year old. Like him or not, he's still a legend.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) -- Heeding his doctor's advice, injured Penn State coach Joe Paterno will not be in the stadium Saturday when the Nittany Lions play Temple -- missing his first game since 1977.
Paterno had surgery Sunday to repair a fractured shinbone and two torn knee ligaments in his left leg. The 79-year-old coach was sent tumbling along the sideline last Saturday by two players in the second half of Penn State's loss to Wisconsin.

Joe, please hang it up. You are a great, great coach, but it is past time. Take one for the team, please.
