Not to make light of cancer or anything, but the timing of such an announcement is... eyebrow raising.

"When it rains it pours" does not seem quite adequate for whats going there.

My first thought was that he had been sitting on it like Bowden. I guess it goes well to soften the scandal too though

Sad.

With all of these allegations, him not coaching, and now this, he won't last long.

The geezer is 84 years old. I'll save my sympathies for much younger people with much worse problems.

This was my exact thoughts too when I first heard the news.

This may be the reason he transferred his house to his wife. Just making sure it was hers in case something happened to him

You know what would be nice of the students to do for this poor guy with cancer? Take to the streets. Chant "We want Joe!" Chant "We are Penn State!" in solidarity and support. Go up to his house and tell him that you love him. He and his wife might even open their door in the middle of the night to say they appreciate you back. Let the entire country know that you will NOT stand idly by while Joe fights.

:rolleyes:

Every Penn State Fan that Rioted should go get matched as a possible organ Donor in case Joe needs a Lung.

Not only that, but why announce it at all?

I don't know why Penn st is being made out to be a victim. All this us against them and win one for JoePa. If i heard anything about Penn st for two decades it would be too soon.
