Paterno loses respect for not resigning immediately and instead basking in the adulation of his 20 something idiotic supporters. He had to be forced out by the board. Not a good note to go out on.
FROM the PENN STATE Facebook page:
UPark alert :: Police issue official dispersal order for Old Main, downtown State College. Everyone must vacate both areas immediately.
I don’t think Joe Paterno basks. That’s why they like him, and why its so hard to believe. He’s not a basker. He’s all business, a straight arrow. Again, part of what makes this story so bizarre. I suspect there will be enough additional details to give this story legs right through the 12 elections.
