Recently, I spoke to a family friend, who is a Badger and Cardinal fan (he graduated from University of Wisconsin-Madison and Stanford Medical School).
We talked about some Big Ten football - how Michigan State and Wisconsin are cruising in their respective divisions (Legends and Leaders, respectively) - before we touched on the touchy subject of JoePa's resignation.

What a pity, what a long and illustrious career and what a shock it was, when JoePa had to resign because some Jerry Sandusky or whosoever forced sex on children.

Why, after winning the most victories in NCAA Division I, has JoePa got to leave?
He should have left with a fighting chance for the Rose Bowl. Other than Alabama, Penn State are on course for a division title and then the Championship and then, Rose Bowl or whatsoever.

Then there is this sermon held after the final home game for Penn State this season, that briefly skirted on Matthew 6:13
A pastor said, as reported by the press, that this shows that people should not hold power for long, for they will always abuse power helplessly.

Now we should understand our limitations: people, like teams, cannot win forever. They cannot always get the things they want - but they can always be their own best selves for the good of themselves, and then their bigger families, societies, etc.
Let's win together, forever.
