Message: [QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 68431, member: 204"] I have a friend who walked on at PSU back in the late 1970s. He always claimed that Joe was about winning football games - that his public persona was not all that accurate. He told me that during a 60 Minutes piece he and some other players were told to pull out books and read in study hall - that the players, in protest over what they viewed as BS, turned their books over while "reading." He claims that if you watch the piece you will notice what the players are doing. I tended to doubt my friend at least to some extent. I know that there are a lot of former PSU football players who have gone on to medical, legal, business careers - I have always thought that Joe Pa really did stress education. I have a call into my friend to get his reaction to the story. [/QUOTE]
