Yesterday in History: Joe’s 409th

Y

In spite of Mark Emmert’s best efforts to denigrate the accomplishments of the late Joseph V. Paterno, it is important to note that a year ago, Joe went where no man in Division I had gone, notching his 409th victory by beating Illinois 10-7. What Emmert took away and the BoT agreed to, we recognize here. Those players still played, the games were still won, and Joe Paterno ranks among the greatest college football coaches of all time.

The Turkey apologizes for being a day late and a dollar short with this recognition.
