Message: [QUOTE="Symphony Steve, post: 68219, member: 911"] I think Paterno's announcement was designed to do two things: 1. To pre-empt calls that he be dismissed immediately; and 2. To set himself up as a 'victim' if he is fired now. Maybe he'll have more pep rallies on his lawn (how pathetic was that?). According to Chris Fowler of ESPN on 'Mike and Mike' this AM, Paterno had already used up what little good will he had left with the Board of Trustees, who had sought his retirement around 2004. He won that skirmish, using sharp elbows all the way. Don't think they'll let him win this one. [/QUOTE]
