Happy Birthday, JoePa

Paterno turned 81 today ...

... and, as he said last week, he's planning on sticking around for a few more years.

"Hopefully, I'm not going to be a crotchety old man, and you know, not handle it," Paterno said at a press conference. "When it's time to go, go, right? ... I just feel so good right now."

Paterno joins an eclectic fraternity of famous 81-year-olds. Hugh Hefner, the founder of Playboy, and actors Leslie Nielsen and Mel Brooks turned 81 this year.

The Roster

Travis Johnson Mug

Travis Johnson is a senior majoring in journalism and political science and a football reporter for the Collegian. He's previously covered the wrestling, baseball and women's golf teams. Travis loves to drive fast with the windows down and the rock 'n' roll blaring — even in the winter.

Josh Langenbacher Mug

Josh Langenbacher has written for the Collegian since his junior year and covered the women's track and field team. He's hoping he doesn't have to rescue any colleagues from telephone booths in the HUB — or anywhere else, for that matter.

Andrew Wible Mug

Andrew Wible is a junior majoring in journalism and a football reporter for the Daily Collegian. He has also covered the men's and women's basketball teams. A confused soul, he listens to rap, plays golf and hunts. And like any true Pennsylvanian, he treats the Monday after Thanksgiving as a national holiday.
