It was a makeshift shrine to the Old Man, as if he were buried under that very spot. There was a small bunch of flowers ringed with a printout of JoePa's picture, a JoePa bobblehead wearing green beads (?), an Outback Bowl hat, one of those "Hey Media" shirts, and a Penn State jersey laid on the ground. A cheap jersey, as if the donor wanted to give JoePa a jersey but didn't want to sacrifice any of his GOOD jerseys.
