#1: Just because the perjury case is going to trial doesn't mean a conviction is imminent. The prosecution simply met their burden of proof to bring them to a trial, not to convict them. Evidence submitted and testimony today, imo, aren't strong enough to convict Schultz on perjury charges. It comes off as heinous incompetence more than knowingly lying under oath. If I were anybody connected to Penn State, I would be worried that anyone this moronic was in charge of the university finances for a number of years. It seems that the state may have strong enough testimony to convict Curley, however.
#2: Dranov's testimony doesn't really add anything to the defense of either Curley or Schultz. The biggest problem the defense attorneys are facing is from their own clients, imo: their recountings of how everything went down and who exactly knew and/or did what don't match.

I'd love to know what both sides of the Penn State clan think of this...the usual message board I go to for opinions from them is oddly quiet which I take as a fairly somber sign.

In his first public comments since being fired two months ago, Paterno told The Washington Post he "didn't know which way to go" after an assistant coach came to him in 2002 saying he had seen retired defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky sexually abusing a boy.

Facebook and Twitter are flooded with students and fans saying that they are praying for Joe and for the Paterno family.

Paterno, 85, was diagnosed with lung cancer on Nov. 18. The diagnosis came just days after Paterno was fired by Penn State's board of trustees in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse scandal.

Paterno was later hospitalized when he fell at home and fractured his pelvis. Paterno initially hurt his pelvis after he was blindsided on the sideline during preseason practice in August.

Paterno last week made his first public comments since the Sandusky scandal in a widely publicized interview with Washington Post reporter Sally Jenkins.

In that interview, Jenkins described a frail Paterno whose "voice sounded like wind blowing across a field of winter stalks, rattling the husks."

Jenkins later described Paterno as "wracked by radiation and chemotherapy, in a wheelchair with a broken pelvis, and 'shocked and saddened' as he struggles to explain a breakdown of devastating proportions."

Not to be morbid but for some of these guys, football is their life. If I recall Paul Bear Bryant died within a year of his retirement.

It is a very sad day. You just dont pull through terminal lung cancer though.

Honestly, I don't think he lasts too long. Not only will he no longer have the ritual of a normal day with things to keep him busy and active... but there will be a lot of stress from this situation.
