Dehydrated Joe Paterno Taken to Hospital
81-year-old Penn State coach Joe Paterno was taken to the hospital Thursday morning with dehydration. He was not admitted to the hospital, but did undergo tests, and was expected to leave sometime Thursday afternoon.
Jay Paterno, Joe’s son and quarterbacks coach at PSU, said the old man was fine.
“It’s no big deal,” the younger Paterno said. “If it’s dehydration, he’s probably all talked out.”
No Jay…if it’s dehydration, he’s probably an 81-year-old duffer who needs to stop running all over creation. Dude’s gonna keel over one of these days. Although, to be honest, I’d probably prefer dying with my boots on than in some shit-reeking nursing home.
