"The guys that I know that played for Penn State, I don’t know, you tell me. I’m sure there’s a bad apple here and there. But for t...he most part, aren’t you pretty impressed when you meet guys that played football for Penn State? Aren’t you pretty impressed with the guys they’ve become? I think, sometimes, that’s overlooked because we’re all so competitive with who’s winning the games and all that. So that’s, to me, the legacy he leaves behind. [Fellow Gameday analyst] Lee Corso always said, “When a CEO retires or dies, he leaves money behind. When a head coach retires or dies, he leaves pieces of himself all over,” because these players are kind of like his kids if you coach the right way. That’s, to me, what Joe did. He left his legacy. Look at his players, talk to his players, find out what kind of people they are. That’s who Joe is to me."

That's right. Its why this "football culture" narrative is so troubling. As teams like tOSU and most of the SEC are win at any cost, Joe took a bullet to make sure that academics was always put ahead of athletics. yet, here we are. smh.

Despite the fact that Herbstreit is a Buckeye, I have always liked him as a college football analyst. His narrative on Joe Paterno's legacy is right on here!

Corso can go f' himself.

Corso - Official "Weekend at Bernie's" analyst. Says the same stupid cliche quote each game and then puts a costume on at the end. I think they could photoshop him in this year and just play the same soundbite each game.

Herbstreit and Blackledge are Batman and Robin at what they do. Put them in either order.

Absolutely, and Joe loved Penn State and "life coaching" the young men, more than he loved football or personal wealth.
