Paterno 60 minutes interview from 78

Figured I'd post this for the old timers and folks who want a glimpse back at the way college football used to be. This is also Joe in his prime which is a thing of beauty.
Paterno
Thanks. Rather than "Old Timers" who greatly admire and appreciate Joe, I think our younger Penn Staters need to see videos like this to fully understand that without Joe Paterno the Penn State football program would likely be much different. The stadium would probably seat about 60,000 or less. We probably would not be in the Big 10. More likely a minor conference like the MAC or ACC at best. We would rarely be in any bowl game and never a major bowl game. At best, we would be a program like UCONN. At worst, like Bucknell. Before Joe, PSU football was never thought about on the national stage. We were relegated to obscurity. Joe Paterno made Penn State football what it is today and needs to be appreciated by all for what he did.
