   • Last spoke with Joe Paterno when he had a meeting to announce his retirement

   • Met Paterno at PSU camp for high school students and talked with Paterno there

Jack Crawford, Penn St. - North

   • Some forget all the good Joe Paterno did for the school and the program

   • Paterno gave his life for the school and the students, not just the players

   • People shouldn’t overlook his accomplishments

   • Students feel the board and others turned their back on PSU due to frustration

   • After Paterno announced retirement, team felt like they were losing control

   • Paterno down to earth, very humble and wanted all players to be better people

   • Always pushed the players but reminded them they were blessed

   • Was always at squad meetings and attended every practice

   • Players would be called out but Joe often used humor to do it

   • Wants to go out and have fun this week

   • Been working on position drills and conditioning

   • Wants to see what the NFL is looking for by working with coaches
