Happy 80th old man

[SouthernN'Proud]

Joe Paterno, the classiest man in sports, turns 80 today. Still kickin ass and takin names. Go git you some Vols in whatever bowl game that is!

Hows his leg?

Mending.

Heard on the TV that the reason the docs wouldn't let him on the sidelines was that when they x-rayed the leg they found cracked ribs. Turns out he cracked 'em pre-season at a practice in another sideline collision and never told anybody, afraid they'd take him off the sideline. Tough ol' buzzard.

In my opinion, he can coach as long as he wants. Critics calling for him to retire need to STFU.

Weak critics ask for retirement. Proper critics ask for painful death.
