San Antonio ? Enough about milestones. Joe Paterno hasn’t counted his games and he’s not going to start now.
Penn State (8-4) plays Texas A&M (7-5) today in the Alamo Bowl, Paterno’s 500th game as the Nittany Lions’ head coach.
JoePa would just as soon not be reminded.
“I mean, Texas A&M and Penn State players are playing the game, and I couldn’t care less if it was my 500th or my fifth,” said Paterno, who turned 81 last week. “To be very honest, I don’t think about it unless somebody brings it up.”
The Nittany Lions (8-4) will be playing in their 34th bowl game under Paterno, almost one for every year Texas A&M interim coach Gary Darnell has been working in the profession.
