Joe Paterno statue coming down

The university said Sunday that it will take down the larger-than-life monument in the face of an investigative report by former FBI Director Louis Freeh that found the late coach, along with three top Penn State administrators, concealed the abuse claims against Jerry Sandusky more than a decade ago in order to shield the university and its football program from negative publicity.

Penn State president Rodney Erickson said Sunday the Joe Paterno statue outside Beaver Stadium “has become a source of division and an obstacle to healing in our university and beyond.”

A spokeswoman for the Paterno family did not immediately return phone and email messages Sunday morning.

Construction vehicles and police arrived shortly after dawn Sunday, barricading the street and sidewalks near the statue, erecting a chain-link fence then concealing the statue with a blue tarp.

A live video feed posted on the website of the Centre Daily Times of State College showed workers in white hard hats draping a plastic sheet over the statue, preparing for its removal.

Here’s another bracket tip.

When in doubt, go Chalky.

SportsPage Bracket: Mike PTM

Since all of the writers are jumping on this, I might as well to so I can be ridiculed when I lose. I’m in four pools this year and it’s the first time I have different brackets. Usually I fill out the same for all of them but this year I have three versions. This is the one I’m least confident about, USF winning two game, as if. Hahvhad, (which I can say like that because I live down the street) to win. I may have picked St Mary’s just because of STEVE HOLT! Which you’ll all find funny once you realized that someone on the team is named that. But this is the one I’m putting against them, so I might as well post this one. I did pick Kentucky to win all of my brackets, which I”m sure a lot of people did. If I have advice for anyone, don’t pick Syracuse to win it all, which means they will probably win.
