R.I.P SUBMITTED BY LEON JOHNSON

SAY IT AINT SOOOOOOO…. SAY IT AINT SOOOOOOOO….. This single handily might be the saddest last few months of a person’s life… On January 22, 2012 we lost another legend in the sports world. Joseph Vincent "Joe" Paterno, also know as Joe Pa passed away due to complications from lung cancer… Joe Pa was the was named the winningest coach in Division I history in late 2011 with 409 wins, 136 losses, and 3 ties. In his 46 seasons as a head coach, he had 38 winning seasons, one more than Bear Bryant. Based on the criteria used by the NCAA, Paterno holds the record for most victories by a Division I-A/FBS football coach, passing Eddie Robinson's 408 victories on October 29, 2011, against Illinois…. In early November, long-time assistant coach Jerry Sandusky was arrested and charged with child sexual abuse and due to him not reporting the allegations to police, Paterno was fired. Later on that same month his son, Scott Paterno reported that Joe Pa had a treatable form of lung cancer. On January 12, Paterno was hospitalized in State College for complications relating to his cancer treatment, and he remained there until his death nine days later on January 22, 2012…. But since this is a blog and you want to hear my opinion as well as the facts…. And my opinion is this I think that Joe Pa was just sad at the fact that he wasn’t going to be a coaching anymore… His heart was broken…. Joe Pa was disrespected by people that wasn’t even there when we started coaching…. He was the head coach at Penn State University for 46 years…. I really don’t even have anymore words really to say about this …. Its just a sad, sad day…. Until next time…
