Video: Paterno Addresses Students At Home

Coach Joe Partno came home to a massive crowd that formed outside his house this evening in support of him. You can watch him talk to the crowd at his front door here. Or you can read it...

“We’re always going to be Penn State regardless of what happens to certain people,” Paterno told the crowd. “I’m proud of you folks. Beat Nebraska.”

“There’s been some criticism of the way we’ve handled some of the victims,” Paterno continued. “My wife and I, we have 17 grandkids. We pray for them every night. We’re going to start praying for the kids who got involved with some of the problems we talked about. We owe it to them to say a prayer for them. To make sure they understand that their life can be enriched — that they can make a significant impact on other people — and do a lot of different things as all of you can.”

The crowd shouted, “We love you, Joe.”
