Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, a noted Republican, says he thought long and hard before deciding against greeting Bill Clinton when the former president visited campus on behalf of his wife's presidential campaign.
Bill Clinton pitched the Penn State ties of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Thursday during a stop in State College, reminding the mostly youthful audience that her father and brother both played football at Penn State.
In fact, brother Hugh Rodham, a 1972 graduate, was a backup quarterback under Paterno.

I thought you were just talking. Now if you actually do it, the SS will find this thread and charge us both with conspiracy.
Excuse me . . . I have to go underground now.
A back-handed compliment I guess. BTW, I was at that game.

And what program is your favorite?
Where did you get these names?Many were dismissed.Why print them.You could get your point across without smearing these young men.
it is what it is-they were not dismissed until after the incidents-as far as “smearing”-when your name shows up on a police report or in the paper it has become public record the only ones “smearing” those young men, were those young men themselves.
Did all those guys stay on the team?
How incredibly petty of you.
Just another reason why mamas can let their boys grow up to be Nittany Lions :)

Since Paterno took over in 1966, Penn State has had 74 first-team All-Americans, with senior linebacker Dan Connor earning first team honors in 2007 for the second consecutive season. Over the same span, the Lions have counted 15 Hall of Fame Scholar-Athletes, 27 first-team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-Americans®, (36 overall) and 18 NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners. Penn State has had at least one Academic All-American® in each of the past six years, including junior tackle Gerald Cadogan in 2007.
Exactly right...
Obama's the Big Man on Penn State Campus: "Oh, my God! I love you, Barack! Look at me!"
Snort.
Oh, well. I was a five-alarm, flaming lib in my college days, too :)
In those days we didn't have Rush to set us straight...:)
Disagree. He said he was not a Democrat and would not be supporting either of them, so decided not to meet with Clinton.
Rush, the internet. I love the information age :)
Also, recently Joe Paterno has been interviewed A LOT by the local central PA press (I think due to his contract, spring training, etc). Likely the question was asked during the course of a typical interview.
