They all noticed God up in the > clouds sitting in a chair. God motioned for one of them to come into the > clouds. God wanted to know three things: "Who are you? What did you do? > What did people think of you?" > > The first coach said, "I'm Joe Paterno. I coached Penn State from 1966 > to 2000. I won 300 games, 19 bowl victories, 2 national championships, > and won Coach of the Year 4 times.
