The Final Memory Of Joe Paterno

The last signing day class of Joe Paterno will take the field at home one last time against Michigan

A bronze statue once stood proud on the east side of Beaver Stadium, a seven foot sculpture commemorating the legacy of Joe Paterno.

An unbuttoned suit coat waving in the wind, a tie tucked underneath the left side of the coat, with the pants snugged at his waist. As a band of Nittany Lions players jog behind the former head coach, a single finger is raised in the air from Paterno, with a smile that touched everyone's hearts in Happy Valley.
