BTW...I'm not a Penn Stater, but I have a lot of respect for JoePa. I would have the same respect for any coach.
As for Dani's criticism of our bashing of GC'rs, it's typically Helicopter Moms who make you want to bang your head against the wall, not of an elderly "statesman" who has physical limitations.
