Thanks to the Aggies for getting the Nittany Lions FIRED UP!

All of which brings us to an Aggie yell leader (sort of a cheerleader) during a pep rally yesterday shouting that Paterno needed a "casket and that he was on his "death bed." The attempt at humor was ill-received and the fellow was sent home post-haste.

Paterno, meanwhile, took it with good humor.

"I think everybody has to take things with a grain of salt," the Penn State coach said. "Some young guy went up there, trying to be funny. Maybe he's accurate, I don't know."

I loved Paterno’s comment on it, he had that “yeah, he said it but we’re just going to go out and kick their ass” sort of mindset about it.

He’s probably seen everything at this point in his career up until that. :)

Reminds me of the thuggish Miami Hurricanes before the 1987 Championship Game.
