i find it interesting that most bama fans are knighting for joe pa.
Bama fans have always respected Joe Pa very much because of his friendship with Coach Bryant and the mutual respect they had for each other. It's not surprising or interesting at all that Bama fans would knight for him.

The one surviving witness of the St Valentines Day Massacre was a German Shepherd who was at the garage. He later went insane from the traumatic experience

Money isn't everything, but he donated over 4 million to the university.
Read and listen to the comments from his former players. The things he did for them after they left PSU.

So is that more important than enabling the molestation of countless children?

In addition to his legacy as a coach, Paterno is highly regarded for his contributions to academic life at Penn State. After the announcement of his hiring in 1966, Paterno set out to conduct what he called a "Grand Experiment" in melding athletics and academics in the collegiate environment, an idea that he had learned during his years at Brown.[64] As a result, Penn State's players have consistently demonstrated above-average academic success compared to Division I-A schools nationwide. According to the NCAA's 2008 Graduation Rates Report, Penn State's four-year Graduation Success Rate of 78% easily exceeds the 67% Division I average, second to only Northwestern among Big Ten institutions.[65]
Paterno is also renowned for his charitable contributions to academics at Penn State. He and his wife Sue have contributed over $4 million towards various departments and colleges, including support for the Penn State All-Sports Museum, which opened in 2002, and the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center, which opened in 2003.[66] After helping raise over $13.5 million in funds for the 1997 expansion of Pattee Library, the University named the expansion Paterno Library in their honor.[67]

In 2007, former player Franco Harris and his company R Super Foods honored Paterno for his contributions to Penn State by featuring his story and picture on boxes of Super Donuts and Super Buns in Central PA. A portion of the sales will be donated to an endowment fund for the university library that bears his name.[68]

None. Of. That. Makes. A. frick.
Paterno enabled a child rapist. He allowed the guy to continue to use Penn State facilities. He allowed the guy to be around children on Penn State property.
WTF is wrong with you morons?

These are all good things but again, more meaningful than the negative?

Whoah right there. There is no reason to make baseless accusations against Coach Bryant just to get a rise out of me. No need to stoop to that.
