It seems that on Friday around noon Joe Paterno got caught up in a little road rage incident. Here is the excerpt first reported on BlueWhiteIllustrated.

Yesterday, two grad students (husband and wife)that I know were driving on campus and being followed closely by a white car. The white car passes them and then cuts them off and pins them against the curb. The driver gets out and starts screaming obscenities at the woman (who was driving), flipping both middle fingers and repeatedly saying “do you know who I am!”. The irate screaming and cursing by the driver of the white car continues long enough for the campus police to arrive at which time the driver of the white car takes off. The woman is so shaken up that the police ask here if she’s OK to drive. The only thing they can think of that set the driver of the white car off was if they were driving too slow. They were both in some state of shock the rest of the day that Joe Paterno, a man they both admired, could act this way. If this is the way our 80 yr. old head coach acts….can we be shocked our team captains act the way they do?

When I first read it I fell in line with the board’s general concensus, it was bullshit. However, it may be credible afterall: Road rage incident reported at PSU and JoPa being investigated for road rage. Even if he is guilty I am still going to have to side with Joe Pa. It is bad enough when slow drivers refuse to get out of the way of a faster driver, but it is infinitely worse when that faster driver happens to be a living legend and the slower driver some grad school peon.
