Joseph Vincent "Joe" Paterno (born December 21, 1926) is a former college football coach who was the head coach of the Penn State Nittany Lions from 1966 through November 9, 2011. Paterno, nicknamed "JoePa," holds the record for the most victories by an FBS football coach with 409 and is the only FBS coach to reach 400 victories. He coached five undefeated teams that won major bowl games and, in 2007, was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach. In conjunction with the Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse scandal, he announced on November 9, 2011, that he intended to retire at the end of the 2011 football season, but was fired from his position by Penn State trustees later that night.

By: AKpilotEMT.
"Bryce Jordan Center is a 15,261-seat multi-purpose arena in University Park, Pennsylvania. The arena opened in 1995 and is the largest such venue between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. It superseded Rec Hall as the home to the Penn State University Nittany Lions men's and women's basketball team and for the men, their student section, Nittany Nation. It also plays host to a number of events such as music concerts, circuses, and commencement ceremonies for colleges within the university. The arena is named after former Penn State University president Bryce Jordan who was instrumental in acquiring the funding needed to build it."

Joe Paterno statue

The legendary football coach of the Penn State Nittany Lions was honored by this display outside of the team's football stadium from 2001-2012.
Joe Paterno was hired as an assistant coach by the university in 1950. He held that position for 16 seasons before being promoted to head coach in 1966. He compiled a record of 409–136–3 in 46 years as a head coach.
The statue was dedicated on November 2, 2001, two days after he surpassed Bear Bryant as the all-time Division I-A leader with 324 career victories.
Only July 22, 2012, the statue was removed by the University days after a report was released in the Jerry Sandusky child abuse scandal. The report implicated Paterno and other Penn State officials in covering up the story.

Most visitors to the Creamery at Penn State know only of its famous ice cream, sherbet, and cheeses sold at the store or over the Internet, but what they don't know is that it is the largest university creamery in the nation. Each year approximately 4.5 million pounds of milk pass through the Creamery's stainless steel holding tanks. About half comes from a 225-cow herd at the University's Dairy Production Research Center, and the rest is purchased from an independent milk producer.
