Poll: JoePa deserves stadium rename

[Snake Alchemist]

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- A new poll released Friday shows Pennsylvania's registered voters favor renaming Penn State's football stadium in honor of longtime coach Joe Paterno, who died in January.

The Quinnipiac University survey found that 46 percent of those polled thought the school should rename Beaver Stadium, while 40 percent were opposed.

The idea was more strongly backed by those who described themselves as "very or somewhat interested" in college football, and by those over age 65....

Pollsters surveyed nearly 1,300 registered voters over six days earlier this month. The poll's margin of error was plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.

I wonder what the progress is on the Jerry Sandusky Athletic Center.

1. As long as it's Joe "The Enabler" Paterno Stadium...

I have no problem with it.

3. Didn't you mean to title it the "Jerry Sandusky Athletic Center for At Risk Youth" n/t

4. Nearly as many oppose this.

In fact, more don't support renaming, since only 46% support the renaming. Why more Repubs (52%) favor this compared to Dems (44%) is beyond me. Everything is politics?
