who gives a ...shouldn't have apologized.
You realize a prerequisite of being a yell leader is mandatory donkey throat ing, don't you?
Looks like they are as good at yelling as they are at building bonfires.
...thats unbelievably classless.
who gives a ...shouldn't have apologized.
good job making fun of the people that last their lives and all the families that were affected.
classless
Joe Paterno has exemplified class for the entirety of his legendary career as a football coach. For someone like Coach Paterno, this sort of nonsensical, ignorant ranting is best disregarded.
It's interesting to note that it's okay for Aggies to insult an opposing coach -- not classless -- but someone insulting Aggies is "unbelievably classless." I'll absolutely agree that mocking the Bonfire victims is beyond the pale, but I also think the same is true of casting aspersions upon the age of a legendary opposing coach. Is saying someone needs to be in the casket any better, really, than suggesting that stupidity might have caused deaths?
And the Aggie insults of Texas Tech are just hilarious, since Red Raider owns that ass.
Apparently even some of the Aggie faithful were not happy...
SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- Texas A&M officials have apologized to Penn State leaders over an Aggie yell leader's references to needing a "casket" for coach Joe Paterno.
Paterno last week turned 81.
Penn State faces A&M on Saturday night in the Valero Alamo Bowl.
One A&M yell leader, during a pep rally Thursday night, told the crowd that Paterno was "on his death bed" and "someone needs to find him a casket."
The remarks drew boos from the crowd.
Some A&M and Penn State fans said the remarks were offensive and inappropriate.
A&M spokesman Alan Cannon says interim president Eddie Davis and athletic director Bill Byrne later apologized to their Penn State counterparts.
Paterno, a 42-year head-coaching veteran, is about to enter the last year of a four-year contract that expires following the 2008 season.

Key word, apparently, being some.
Indeed.
Ok...the more I look at your avatar...the more I see Beavis.

Taking jgw as being in any way representative of Aggies is about as unfair as... taking jgw as being in any way representative of Spurs fans.
We hereby renounce jgw and the dumbass kid who made the Paterno comment.
The dumbass kid can be rehabilitated. Impromptu extemporaneous speaking can be difficult, especially for people with limited life experience.
Oh, I understand that.
As someone who has admired Joe Paterno since my childhood, however, I couldn't let any of this pass without a comment of my own.
Sometimes I'm embarrassed they're from my state. No, wait, that's all the time. ing clowns.
It was fairly embarrassing when Mack's re ed stepson ran out on the field last night.
Well, it's one thing making such comments in front of your own fans, quite another doing so at a joint bowl event with fans of the other school in attendance.
Stupid, but insiginificant in the grand scheme of things.
i liked seeing mack shove him out of the way over and over though.
Those would be the real Ags Mikey, not some wanna flip flopping fan wannbes.
Have to admit, by far the the best Ags I meet are in person. Some real good people & true Ag fans.![]()
...as the spotlight finds me in the crowd.....![]()
I'll admit it.
