This is really apropos of nothing, but I thought I would note it anyway.
Penn State’s Joe Paterno has been in the headlines all offseason long, from his lobbying for expansion in the Big Ten to being a proponent for a playoff system to his uneven handling of off-the-field issues involving some of his players.
Regardless, JoePa has been, is and always will be one of the best quotes in the business.
Case in point...
Speaking at Penn State’s media day this past Thursday, the coaching legend was asked about his level excitement for the upcoming season. Here’s what his answer was, as relayed by PennLive.com.
“Nothing excites me yet...We’re lousy...I’m excited to be alive, that’s about it.”
Classic.
Keep on keepin’ on, JoePa. This is a better sport with you involved in it.
