Happy Birthday JoePa!
Joseph Vincent Paterno is 82 today. The group over at JoePa’s Virtual Birthday Party has been working hard over the past week to create a digital collection of Paterno memories and birthday wishes. They’ve collected some pretty cool stuff.
One of the coolest things they have on the site is a happy birthday message from Bobby Bowden.
There are also written messages from Vince Dooley and Mack Brown. We’ll put up a few more Paterno posts later in the day. Until then, check out Mark’s season recaps.

Penn State and the Process of Life
To paraphrase Mark Twain: The reports of higher education’s death have been an exaggeration. American universities produce more research and relevant knowledge for the world at large than any other institutions I know of. Tuition may be too damn high, but over the long-run, undergraduate degrees are definitely worth the cost. But Penn State could be so much more. It used to be, I think.
