JoPa loses to #1, surrenders to #2
Penn State coach Joe Paterno saw the final score, but missed some of his team's game against Ohio State beacuse of two trips to the crapper.
"The old GI disease,'' Paterno wisecracked after the game.
During the television coverage, ABC's Bonnie Bernstein announced to the nation that Paterno did indeed have the shits. How ironic, since his team basically crapped out in a loss to the Buckeyes, 28-6.

My apologies to Coach Paterno. Allthough I was only following my investigative journalist instincts, it was very SHITTY of me to make it known to the whole nation the reasons BEHIND you leaving the sidelines. I realize that I put you in a CRAPPY situation and you were forced to acknowledge at the post game news conference. My career will probably go down the TOILET as a result of my mouth getting the RUNS. I know it wasn't something that I should have said, it just SQUIRTED out. Again I'm sorry

He'd have to change the depends or attends anyways. Might as well use the toilet if he can ambulate. I think he should retire after this year. No shame in losing to 3 top 5 teams. (ND, Ohio State, and Michigan later on)

Bonnie and ABC sports are kinda like the Nat Enquirer, as if its a story.They should apoligize to the Coach.If someone has to take a break, then that should be their personnal business.The Coach will continue to do his job no matter his age.He is a living legend in the sport of CFB.
Hey Peter Parker sheet happens
#3 T-Mac well put man Hookem
