I assume a lot of folks here have seen the BTN show on the 1986 PSU football team (it was just on again last night).
If you did, you heard about Paterno calling out the squad from 1984, telling the upperclassmen that they needed a kick in the ass, and needed to stop "behaving like babies" (His words) and start playing like winners.
I am sure that wasn't an easy thing to say.....and an even tougher thing to hear. But it needed to be said - - - and the boys had to either buckle down and gear up - or someone else was going to need to step in and take over the lead.
Some stepped up, some stepped aside (and made room for those who were ready to kick some ass).
The squad went on to win 23 of 24 games, and a National Championship.
We have a team right now that needs to either "gear up".....or make room for those who will. Lubrano has clearly "geared up" - - - let's hope we witness a lot more of that moving forward. If not, we all need to find those who will.
