He's gone now, but Joe Paterno's impact on this world may never fully be realized. One day, my kids will have Joe Paterno to thank for being a part of making them who they are -- because he will always be a part of me. People will debate his legacy for the rest of time, but I know the real heart of Joe Paterno.
Thank you Coach. I will forever be in your debt.
We all knew this day would come, as it will for all of us, and we knew that day seemed near as Coach Paterno's cancer and subsequent treatments appeared in the news. Yet, none of us truly know how to react to the loss of a man whose impact we cannot measure, a man that we knew so well yet barely knew at all.
Last night was one of the worst moments of my entire life. But before I can explain what happened, you need to know a bit about Onward State.
After last night's announcement of the cancellation of Canning Weekend #3, social media erupted with aches of disappointment. But before long, students, alumni, and the many supporters of THON were uniting to make amends through, what Onward State's own John Tecce has dubbed, #CyberCanning. But how significant of a role does a Canning Weekend play in the overall fundraising of THON? Can you reschedule a Canning Weekend? I reached out to THON Overall Elaine Tanella and Public Relations Overall Kirsten Quisenberry to get some answers.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
Inside the Assembly Room, located in the corner of the basement of the Nittany Lion Inn, I sat listening in disgust as Franco Harris and Anthony Lubrano discussed Joe Paterno and the Board of Trustees with a lively audience of around 150. Most attendees were part of the recently established group called Penn Staters for Responsible Stewardship, whose goal is to reform the Board of Trustees and find "justice" for Joe Paterno.
