6. It's sad, Matt

My grandfather was an alumni at Penn State.

He would roll over in this grave if he saw this. My "Papa" was a fierce protector of the children. One time when my sister and I were roughhousing in the living room I sat on the edge of the coffee table. Needless to say it broke. My papa came in and said, shhh, don't tell your grandmother, I will tell her the leg was loose. Needless to say, he fixed it. It was back in place on our next visit, he winked at me when I saw it.

The needless grief and the ungodly hell that Paterno aided and abetted was indisputable. My heart goes out to the survivors.

I understand that you would not want to attend Penn State, Matt. The schools shame will live on for many years to come!
