Listen to Joe Pa

[centexorange]

"They said, 'Well, you've got to vote or else you can't participate.' So I will not participate in the voting," Paterno said. "Not that I'm against what other people want to do, it's just that philosophically I think you ought to win it on the field. If I have to vote for somebody only because people have said these are the two teams that ought to be in the BCS championship game and I think they left somebody out that probably ought to be in it, that's when I'll feel a playoff ought to be appropriate. I've always been for a playoff."

He didn't think that in 1969.
touche!!

 

[ShinerChE]

Well he has had nearly 40 years to change his mind.

Yeah, why didn't Joe Pa accept the bid to play in the 1970 Cotton Bowl, after the 1969 season? He could have settled it on the field, but NO. Chose to play some patsy in the Orange Bowl and claim they should share in the NC to this very day.
I really like Joe Pa, but this action still irritates me.

 

[alden]

Doesn't he know that will diminish the value of the regular season?
Just kidding.

God bless Joe Pa!
