One Down Joepa Months

NCAA Football Betting Lines

Eugene, OR (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chip Kelly is staying in school. The Oregon head coach said Monday he's flattered by the interest shown in him by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he will remain the Ducks' head coach.

 

Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens said the university granted the NFL team permission to talk to Kelly.

 

Kelly has compiled a 34-6 record and won three conference titles at Oregon. The Ducks topped Wisconsin in this year's Rose Bowl after losing to Auburn in the 2011 BCS National Championship Game.

 

Sure, in today's world the information is always there at our fingertips as the internet seemingly gives us the news before it even happens.

 

But there's nothing like banter with others.

 

Joe Paterno's passing from lung cancer at age 85 on Sunday is everywhere, of course. It's the sad, numbing ending to the firestorm that surrounded the final months of his life, and the Jerry Sandusky case continues to leave us all unsure of how to view JoePa's life and career. One writer, astutely, pointed out how complicated it is to write an obituary for Paterno.

 

Knowing that about Paterno, the knee-jerk reaction in his death is that one can't let the last three months overshadow his devoted career at Penn State.

 

It's dizzying.

 

One by one, they stepped up today, colleagues with strong feelings. It seems everybody longs to separate JoePa from the events of the last three months, but, even as we mourn him, it's impossible.

 

"Ultimately all of the horrible things associated with the abuse scandal happened at his "house" and under his watch. I'm sure he was a human being with a great heart and a good soul, but there is no way you can overlook what ultimately happened."

 

Others have a little more compassion in their words, no doubt still filled with that numbing feeling that doesn't escape us all.

 

"The last couple of months are the freshest things in our memories," one person said, "but he was still a great man, who, unfortunately, made some mistakes when it came to Sandusky. Let's not forget that Sandusky is the actual villain here ... and not Joe. It was popular to pile on Joe in November, but now it is time to admit that there will never be another one like him."
