Joe Paterno passed away on January 22, 2012. Next Tuesday marks the one-year anniversary since that day, and to commemorate the iconic coach, a tribute organization, Inspiration Way, will hold a candlelight vigil in Paterno's honor.
John Butler's job title is changing. His style is not. Penn State's new defensive coordinator following the departure of Ted Roof to his alma mater Georgia Tech will have increased responsibility after serving as the Nittany Lions' secondary coach this past season, but Butler still plans to be the same high-energy, emotional guy as he steps into the spotlight.
Love him or hate him, by now you've probably heard of the talk radio host turned documentary filmmaker John Ziegler. Over the past year, Ziegler has taken a special interest in the media coverage at Penn State, creating the website www.FramingPaterno.com and the mini-movie "The Framing of Joe Paterno" aimed at exonerating the former coach. I was able to ask the iconoclast 10 questions about Penn State and dinosaurs.
The family of the late Joe Paterno issued a statement this morning prior to Governor Tom Corbett's press conference at the Nittany Lion Inn. Within the statement, they praise Corbett's decision to file a lawsuit against the NCAA and claim that the family review of the Freeh Report is nearing completion.
