I remember (I think it was back in the 1980s) when there was talk of Paterno retiring. He ended the talk by saying “I don’t want to leave college football to the likes of people like Barry Switzer”. Or something close to that. All I can say is how ironic!!

If Sandusky was on Switzer’s coaching staff, and Switzer found out about it, Switzer would have strangled Sandusky with his bare hands.

Paterno made that remark in 1985.

As the fates would have it, Joe's Penn State team wound up having to play Switzer's Sooners in the Orange Bowl for the National Championship.

I think the Sooners (who won) didn't let Joe forget that remark.
