Hey I think this is huge news and I think this story should be in “Breaking News”. Just my opinion.

It was coming. You can’t finish your season with the people in place.

This will be like a death in my family. Rural PA took much of their identity from JoePa and Penn State. They always held their heads up because they might be never-graduated coal miners but they were also Penn State.

Assistant coach McQuery has taken a leave of absence. Look for him to be gone soon too.

A sad day for Penn State - but it pales in comparison to the lives of the children who will continue to suffer.

I’m not a college football fan so I don’t know anything about these people. All I know is that if the allegations are true it means Paterno has his priorities all messed up and needed to be fired.

And yet, McPussy is still going to stay? I get the feeling the Penn State student body won’t let him near the stadium.

This had to be done. I like Paterno, but he failed to live up to his own code by not reporting what he knew to the police.

one of the reporters just asked “are you aware students are rioting downtown right now because of your decision?”

a lot of angry reporters and a lot of support still for JoePa...

This is the way it should be.

Protecting children is more important than winning football games. The people at Penn State got it mixed up and they need to go.

It needed to happen. Sorry Joe, I wish you had done more, too. Those victims will never be the same. And Sandusky should spend the rest of his life in a very rough prison.

I could elaborate on an experience of my own in my younger years (and as a troubled youth)..and although nothing as egregious as what happened to those boys heppened to me...it was scary as hell. But I must say, when I finally had the nerve to tell my foster father what I was up against, he got me away from those who ..lets just say..had their own agendas. I will always be grateful to him.

a graduate assistant saw Sandusky assaulting a boy in a school shower...

There's something I don't understand about this story that I haven't found in the coverage for days. What was a "boy" (or "boys") doing in the shower at Penn State in the first place?

Homosexuals are a protected species. You cannot look upon their actions and declare, "That is wrong". It is risky to condemn them.

Of course, when it all hits the fan, people will demand, "Why didn't you do something?? Didn't you know how wrong that was??"

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. PC is cultural Marxism, and it is intended to create a dysfunctional society.

Mission accomplished.

Police in riot gear deal with Penn State students gathering to support Joe Paterno

STATE COLLEGE — More than a thousand Penn State students are moving between the campus and downtown, chanting in support of football coach Joe Paterno, whose job has been questioned over his handling of sex-abuse allegations involving a former coach.

Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky is facing charges he sexually assaulted eight boys over a 15-year period.

Crowds began to gather around 10 p.m. on Beaver Avenue. After police in riot gear told them to move along, the students moved to Old Main. They sang the alma mater, professed their love for Paterno and profanely denounced Sandusky. They pointed toward Penn State president Graham Spanier’s still-lit office. Then, after a brief “back to Beaver” chant, the crowd returned to Beaver Avenue.
