As part of our College Football preview series, we've been lucky enough to peek into the world of the JoePa Chronicles, where Fake Joe Paterno regales us and those around him with tales of football history, international intrigue, and that one weird story where he probably confused Ki-Jana Carter with Jimmy Carter. Fake JoePa also has lots to say about the upcoming season, and today he talks about the Big Ten.
AND THAT IS HOW LASSIE ACQUIRED THE CANINE AIDS
Just for saving a little red-headed boy? That hardly seems
NOT JUST ANY REDHEAD, A KNOWN IRISH
Whatever. Can I go home now? It's like 8 and all you've done since lunch is watch TV.
THIS IS FILM STUDIES, WE HAD A VERY INCONSISTENT YEAR LAST YEAR
No, it's not. It's the first season of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. And I think you know that because you've been singing along to the theme song even when it's not playing.

SECRETARY, GET HIM OUT OF HERE
Dang it, Dad! She left.
WHO IN GOD WITH THE WHAT
It's me! Jay! It's been me the entire time! Ron Zook's not here!
OH
I was hoping you'd take the opportunity to tell "Ron" that I was one of the best coaches in the conference too.
YOU ARE GOOD AT ONE THING AND THAT IS SHUTTING YOUR BASTARD IRISH MOUTH AND LETTING ME WATCH GAME FILM
I was also hoping you'd let me watch Power Rangers with you, because I can name them all even from after this season.
NO
I guess I'll just go then.
TURN OFF THE LIGHT WHEN YOU GO
Okay.
THE LIGHT IS STILL ON
I guess... Dad, I just want to say right now it feels like we're just two people who don't actually know each other at all. And that makes at least one of us really, really sad.
GO GO DOUR STRANGERS
