Alumni lead charge for JoePa statue

TATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Construction workers tore down Penn State's iconic Joe Paterno statue on campus two years ago -- but this town might not be without one for much longer.

Two alumni already have received the OK from the borough to install a projected $300,000 life-sized bronze sculpture downtown, about two miles from the original site. And they're hoping the statue, which will feature Paterno sitting on a bench reading Virgil's "Aeneid," will be installed by fall of next year.

They have already commissioned an artist, Zenos Frudakis, and will seek to raise $50,000 for "Joe's Bench" on the funding platform Kickstarter come July.

Most colleges and universities have fans, Penn State has a cult.

Whilst, PSU may have had one or two pedophiles working their university, Notre Dame has been part of a pedophilia culture that has hidden thousands (if not millions) of pedophiles who are members of their own enclave from the reach of law. Often times moving them over to another parish. And that is only over the last hundred years. Well, I'm sure you know all of that.

Fuck Notre Dame and their sick fucking fans that can't see the fucking...
