Congratulations JoePa

I'm a die-hard Notre Dame fan and I should be upset tonight. The Fighting Irish lost to the joke that is Syracuse but I can't help being happy for Joe Paterno and the Penn State Nittany Lions.

Paterno is 82 years old and in need of a hip replacement. Still, one of the most likeable men in College Football has pressed on as Penn State's head coach. Today, in one of the greatest feel good stories of the year (though not as much as the dude in the video linked in my last post) he saw his charges play a great game and hammer Michigan State to secure their first place in the Rose Bowl since 1995.

Congratulations JoePa. After all these years, you're still one of the best.
