To be fair, everyone on the board has their pressure points. Remember how upset all the Pittsburgh people got when people spoke ill of the city of Pittsburgh during the Steelers Super Bowl run?

I admit, I'm not a Penn State fan or a huge JoePa fan. But, he's given a lot back to the school (including with academics), and he essentially put the school on the map. I'd forgive Penn State alums if they're a little protective of the guy.

ETA: Not saying you're not entitled to your opinion of him, or to make a joke at his expense; but, if you do so, you should at least expect some backlash from the Penn State people.
