The ongoing sex abuse controversy at Penn State took a weird turn of events involving former footballcoach Joe Paterno yesterday. Earlier, he told his players he was planning to retire at the end of the season, with Saturday's game against Nebraska his last home game. However, the Board of Trustees had other plans instead that night, firing Paterno in the process.
What followed were student riots, people chanting things like "We Want Joe!" and "One More Game!" As a result, Saturday's game will be instead the first game for interim coach Tom Bradley, who is a longtime Penn State supporter, who played for them in the late 70s and joined Paterno's coaching staff in 1979.
