Just weeks after leading the Nittany Lions to his record-setting 409th Division I college football win, legendary Pennsylvania State University head coach Joe "JoePa" Paterno, 84, was fired along with university president Graham Spanier, 63, for their role in the 10-year-old-boy-buttfucking scandal that continues to rock Happy Valley. Paterno's storied career, which spanned 61 years at Penn State, the past 45 as head coach, came to an abrupt end over his failure to report to police a 2002 incident in which former defensive coordinator and "at-risk youth" charity volunteer Jerry Sandusky, 67, was allegedly observed raping a boy in a locker room shower. recommended Thousands of angry students poured into the streets of State College, Pennsylvania, on November 11 to protest the firing of Paterno. An outraged mob broke windows and overturned a television news van before riot police used pepper spray to disperse the crowd. recommended Penn State wide receivers coach Mike McQueary, 42, who reported witnessing Sandusky sodomizing a young boy in a locker room shower, was placed on administrative leave after receiving numerous death threats. recommended On November 14, Sandusky denied being a pedophile, but he admitted to NBC's Bob Costas, "I shouldn't have showered with those kids." recommended
