AGGIES APOLOGIZE FOR POINTING OUT JOE PATERNO IS OLD
Texas A&M has apologized for the remarks of an A&M cheerleader that Joe Paterno "needs a casket," which of course got people all hopped up on rageahol and demanding apologies and kowtows and all of the thing courtesy junkies demand when someone has pissed them off, regardless of what the subject of the remarks. (Our editorial stance is that those people need to get fucked in the ear by a water buffalo. )
The subject himself--Paterno--seemed less than worried about the comments:
"I think everybody has to take things with a grain of salt," Paterno said. "Some young guy went up there, trying to be funny. Maybe he's accurate, I don't know."
Again, it makes you want to hug Joe Pa. You'd probably smell like good old man afterwards, all aftershave and hair pomade. Not that bad baby food and adult diaper old man smell, either. JoePa's got his shit together, so to speak.

Sure, Paterno’s all puppy dogs and ice cream about this now, but he’d beat the shit out of that cheerleader’s young as if he was in front of JoePa in traffic.

This is old news, the big Paterno story of the day came from the press conference earlier.

Hiawatha, I was thinking the same thing . . .
“I honestly didn’t hear it, and I don’t particularly care about it,” Paterno said today. “Sticks and stones will break your bones but names will never hurt you.”
JoePa was later seen stoning the Yell Leader to death on the Riverwalk.

Wow. I had to triple check to make sure I was reading real news coverage in WFY’s link. I still can’t believe that excerpt. Absolutely outstanding.

@3: Heh.
Re: the press conference, I don’t know who that “Media” guy is, but he seems like a real dick.

My grandma says all the old men she knows smell like money, as in old rolled up dollar bills smell, not the new money smell , the old musty money smell…..is it me, or do women actually smell a man and tell how much he’s worth? Is that a female superpower? I’m sure that kicks in around the time they start buying bra’s or something.

You are pro-JoePa because as long as he keeps waking up on the right side of the grass, Original Nole Bobby will never retire. And that just cracks me up.

Beano Cook said it best….its like the coaching version of “Grumpy Old Men”……always trying to one up each other….because once the record is set, its going to the last man standing,and more than likely wont be broken in todays world of coaching…..younger AD’s that have coaching ADD….either the coaches leave w/in 3 yrs or the AD fires them….no matter what…..
There are no more "rocking chair " coaching jobs meaning there are no jobs you can take til retirement at one place….its a fact…
So if Joe Pa retires or or vice versa with Bowden, my Death Pool is riding that Joe Pa is the last man standing since he is in better shape and mean as hell……Which ever one retires, its gonna be to health issues or being put out to pasture involuntarily….and my bets on Bowden to do that first

The lesson, as always, is this: Aggy are douchebag cultists. I’m sure they are congratulating this guy back in CS.

I guess Bowden probably smells like the bad old man smell

Irony would be them at a NCAA coaching convention, riding in the same car, and both Joe Pa and Bowden dying in a car wreck,with the other car being driven by Jimbo Fisher and Greg Schiano

Surprisingly, JoePa took it better than the A&M establishment did.
But seeing that this is the same institution that once referred to Texas Tech as “classless clowns” in a media guide, this really shouldn’t surprise anyone.
We’re still waiting on an apology for that.

Texas A&M’s “corp” who are not in the military will grab their balls until it hurts together to “feel the tension of the players on the field” or whatever.
JoePa is old.
Point to Penn State.

I really don’t mind the reaction on this. Even I know that hoping someone (who is not Hitler) would die is probably not the right thing to do. But I am sick of all the positive press Paterno gets.
Hows this. That asshole is living sooo long he is leaving a carbon footprint the size of Ross Ice Shelf, whatever is left of it because of that jerk. And if that douchebag Paterno ever says that the 1993 NC should be split, I am digging the grave myself for that g.d. meatball! Screw You Joe, you’re f’ing History’s f’ing Greatest Monster!

the only thing that “needs a casket” is A&M’s football program.

I was almost murdered after the 2000 Alamo Bowl (’99 Season). Aggie fans have no sense of humor.
The dude from the corps of cadets however was extremely polite, even after I asked him if it was more boy scouts or hitlerjugend.
