Joe Pa, Players and Rioters React to Paterno's Firing

To put it lightly, Penn State is a hot mess right now.

Last night, we broke news that Joe Pa was fired by the Board of Trustees. As you can imagine, the rest of the night didn't go very smoothly. 

A bit of background for students who don't know, this school is obsessed with Joe. He is the true mascot of their football program. A buddy of mine is a 35-year-old alumni, who literally cried when he heard the news. They just love him. 

As you can imagine, students didn't just sit back and take it.'

The Penn State Football team's reaction was much more somber. It's a pretty sad video to watch.

Joe Paterno was certainly a legend, whether he knew what was going on or not. 

What's your reaction? Do you think he should have been able to coach his last game of the season? Let us know @TheSumoSkinny.
