Incidentally, the remnants of Ernesto are due to arrive in Happy Valley sometime around 3 p.m. that day. So it should be an interesting game as my son and I have tickets and will be attending the game to watch 250 year old Joe Paterno (OK so he'll actually only be 80 later this year, and he's only been head coach at PSU since 1966) lead the Lions onto the field.
Joe Paterno's consistent style has made him an icon in Happy Valley. Let's compare some shots photos of JoePa through the years:
Accepting the Lambert Trophy for best team in the East, after his 1969 team went undefeated (as did the 1968 team). Penn State was not named national champion either year.
With great Ohio State coach Woody Hayes, before Woody went nuts and started punching players.
I'm not sure of the vintage of this photo. I think it might be late 60's or early 70's.
1986. Sports Illustrated's Sportsman of the Year.
[And Blogger Photos crap out on me now...Thanks]
