There’s No Quit in Paterno, 70
Associated Press
Preparing for his 27th bowl game in 31 seasons at Penn State, Joe Paterno, 70, said he has no immediate plans to retire from coaching.
“If I can go to 75 I’ll be happy,” Paterno said. “Seventy’s not old. If you exercise and eat properly, it’s just a number.”
Paterno’s No. 7 Nittany Lions (10-2) will face Big 12 champion Texas (8-4) in Wednesday night’s Fiesta Bowl at Tempe, Ariz.
