Joe Paterno Turns 82 Today
On JoePa's Birthday, Let's Play "What's Older Than JoePa?"
For those of you that don't know, Joe Paterno turns 82 today. That's pretty old for any guy, regardless of whether he's still coaching a football team or not. I know a lot of people think JoePa needs to quit, but considering he just signed a three-year extension - which means he'll be coaching until he's 85 - that day isn't coming any time soon.

But anyway, in celebration of JoePa's birthday, here's a video taken at a Penn State game seeing if students could figure out what was older: JoePa or certain historic inventions.



By the way, here are some other things that JoePa is actually older than:
  • The mechanical cotton picker (1927)
  • PEZ candy (1927)
  • Bubble gum (1928)
  • Antibiotics (1928)
  • Scotch tape (1930)
  • Frozen food (1930)
  • The first canned beer (1935)
  • Ballpoint pen (1938)
And, get this, JoePa is older than sliced bread, which was invented in 1928. Good lord he's old. But then again, he's got Penn State in the Rose Bowl this year. God speed, JoePa. God speed.
