That ‘legacy’ is the reason people have lost their minds and will support him to the death.

Personally Im on the side of the raped kids and would support THEM to the death Paterno and his fan club can GTH. As I’m not a football fan I have no team loyalty, do to speak.

Side note...I like the 909 better with a touch of distortion but the 808 rocks the deep end nicely ;)

What's amazing is that they have a different standard for Paterno than Paterno had for his players. Did Paterno ever once in a practice tell his players "I'd like for you to adequately meet your responsibilities with respect to your assignments?" I doubt it. I imagine you heard a lot of "Give 110%." "Leave it all on the field." "Give it everything you've got."

It is sad that this is how he will be remembered. But it may be more sad that this might be how he should be remembered.

The 909 never got the respect it deserved, from snare to high hat to the kick. Its kick is much more serviceable for a wide variety of uses than the 808. The snare has more punch and the high hat is a dance floor delight. But the ubiquitous 808 gets all the glory. Such is life.
