Lest ye figured the old fans of Penn State University would leave Joe Paterno for the lions, we have video proving otherwise. The legendary coach addressed the legions of fans who were outside his home Tuesday to support him. Ben Jones reports he said “No matter what happens to some people I’m proud of you.” Here’s a video of the scene from JoePa’s house, along with an up-close video where you can hear Paterno’s message to his fans:

“There has been some criticism of the way we’ve handled some of the poor victims. My wife and I, we have 17 grandkids from 16 to 3. We’re going to start praying for those kids that have been involved with some of the problems.”
