I remember my Penn State recruiting trip, Joe Paterno asked me if I woke up with grass stained knees and a condom hanging out of my butt, would I tell anybody?
I said HELL NO COACH!
Then Coach Paterno called for Coach Sandusky and said he should take me camping! I did not go camping or back to Pennsylvania!

I googled it and Sandusky was indeed there in that time period so I guess the story checks out.

I found this interesting…….


Jerry Sandusky is carried off the field after his last game, a 24-0 shutout victory over Texas A&M in the Alamo Bowl.


Did the aggy players carry him off?

Seems like yesterday! Lots of money changed hands with the 50 dollar handshakes and some players never ever went to class. Basketball players were the worst at going to clsss. I went to class every day except for Fridays. Thursday night at Zachary’s caused some serious sleep ins in the old Broussard Hall. Bed checks were a joke because that little guy, Radar, was scared to turn us in.
