My condolences to all at Penn State University. I will always remember Joepa as a wonderful coach and man. Before Penn State joined the Big Ten I always rooted hard for you guys and continued nearly every game there after except when they played OSU.
He will be terribly missed.

RIP Joe Paterno. You were a better man than you were made out to be the last few months. You changed college athletics for the better in so many ways. You will be missed and my condolences go out to the Paterno family, Penn State University, and fans everywhere.

R.I.P Joe Pa, condolences to the Paterno family and the whole Penn State community. This is a sad day for all of America. Sports fan or not everyone knew who Joe Paterno was and respected him. Mountaineers respected him even when Penn State was kicking our butts like 25+ times in a row.
Thoughts and prayers for everyone grieving this loss of a true American legend.
From,
Mountaineer Nation

I'm from the Ohio State side, but just wanted to drop in and say that, regardless of what may have transpired over the last few months, I'm firmly convinced that in heaven, today, football is being played better.
At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought.

A memory of Joe Pa 2006 OSU vs. PSU watching the Buckeye's first Big 10 major challenge.A couple minutes before halftime Jo goes darting across the field.We were all sitting in the stands wondering where the hell he was going.@ the post game presser Jo was asked about it and had to descretely explain he had to get off the field before he messed his pants.I remeber laughing my ass off as he was trying to explain this to the press.R.I.P Joe.

Joe was the very best of America's Greatest Generation.Joe represented everything that was clean and good about college athletics.He didn't deserve the media witch hunt that ended his career.There are many of his former players and many other people, of all walks of life, that he touched deeply, which are a greater testimony of his legacy than just words.
Today we are all diminished.

As a Bama fan, I have always had a great respect for Coach Paterno and Penn State back to the days when him and Coach Bryant faced each other. CFB has lost one of the great ones today. I will be praying for the Paterno family and the Penn State fans. Coach Paterno you will be missed by many fans!
RIP JoePa

It was a pleasure to see Alabama play Penn State in State College in September. Joe Pa was enormously respected by the Alabama fanbase.
Condolences from Alabama nation.
