JoePa on B10 conf call: "If I had to make a guess," Bolden won't play

Also said that if he had to make a guess, Edison is crazy with this whole idea of a candle-less light source. 

JoePa also remembers what it was like to wake up in the morning and resume his activities with the underground railroad.  He may not be thinking too clearly anymore.

BLLLLLLLLLLLITZ the QB on saturday, GERG.

That would definitely be helpful for us. I wouldn't wish an injury on anyone, but I have no problem encouraging the team to take advantage of one.

Man PSU is falling apart, Paterno really needs to go. I mean him leaving has nothing to do with the injuries they have had but just watching them play and the interaction on the sidelines between JoePa and the other coaches is a shame to watch, almost comical. He kind of wanders around with no headset(probably the only coach in D1 football without one) and then he bickers with the red headed guy when a play doesnt work, and it seems like the guy just blows him off. I hear from people close to the program it is udder chaos behind closed doors, coaches fighting, Paterno never at meetings or practice and having no clue who some players are. He is more like a spokesperson than the actual coach. They need to get him a lazyboy and a cup of Tapioca Pudding and let him watch from the booth

He also mentioned that if he could do it all over again, that he wouldn't of played Bernie in the hit movie "weekend at Bernies", which is also known as the Joe Pa movie.

yall wanna win out boobie in!

JoePa is a smart man and has definitely see a concussion or 100 in his coaching career.  He will make the decision that best benefits the health of his young QB.

That aside, if we make a Sheridan type walk-on look like a Heisman candidate I will most likely have a seizure

lol wut you're so old

I bet he steals books from Brentanos and then claims he was "confused" when security busts him. Then he gets mad at his coaches when they don't say "hello" to him in the hallway/restroom/filmroom/etc.

I think this is all a clever smoke screen from PSU to confuse and confound our defense as to who is starting. It's too bad that we could really care less due to the fact that all 3 of their QB's suck. Have fun, crazies.

We cannot assume Penn State will not come out ready to play.  We have to play a great first half in order to emotionally wear them down.  Then we have to start the second half well in case they get their emotions back at half time.  Next to the UConn game, this is our most important game of the year to continue to show the country, the conference, and recruits that we are on our way back.  Go Blue!

I'm morbidly curious about what would happen if someone asked Joe if he excpected Ki-Jana Carter or Zack Mills to play this weekend.

Does anyone really know, and I mean really know, not just guessing or listening to internet rumors, how much control JoePa actually has these days?

I think the assumption has been for a while that he is merely a figurehead, but even a figurehead can give the pregame speeches, decide personnel issues, etc.  Is there any actual indication that he has given this all up and his only role these days is simply to stand on the sidelines?  

If he still has some control, I'd lean towards Bolden sitting, but every other sign seems to indicate that he's probable, and if it's up to someone else, I bet he plays.   

It's striking to me that Joe Pa sounds like an internet commentator and not like the guy charged with making the decision:  "if I had to guess..."

Whether that's due to the contingency of Bolden's recovery progress or because Joe Pa's a thousand years old, who knows.
