The GA4NE Board members and GA4NE members would like to extended our condolences to Penn State, their fans, alumni and the Paterno family on the passing of Joe Paterno. Joe Paterno coached for 62 years at Penn State, 46 years as head coach. He was the winningest college football coach of all time. He will be missed not only by Penn State fans and alumni, but by college football fans around the country.
A quote from Tom Osborne on the passing of Joe Paterno. "I am saddened to hear the news of Joe Paterno's passing. Joe was a genuinely good person. Whenever you recruited or played against Joe you knew how he operated and that he always stood for the right things. Of course, his longevity over time and his impact on college football is remarkable. Anybody who knew Joe feels badly about the circumstances. I suspect the emotional turmoil of the last few weeks might have played into it. We offer our condolences to his family and wish them the very best."

NEBRASKA CLAIMS VICTORY
Husker Fans…so the football game was not what we Husker fans had hoped for, but 2 Nebraska fans (right here from the GA4NE Club) claimed victory in the pizza eating contest during the pep rally at Point Orlando. Representatives from Nebraska and South Carolina participated in a pizza eating contest to kick off the pep rally. Larry Sibilia took the winner’s circle, with Tommy Sanders taking a close second. Congratulations to both. The winner received a gift certificate for more pizza. Not sure if Larry cashed in on that one.
A special thanks also goes out to the Central Florida for Nebraska club who invited various Nebraska clubs around the country to visit their watch site after the pep rally. Hot dogs, hamburgers, beer and Nebraska football fans, a perfect combination.
A great time was had by all at the Capital One Bowl game in Orlando and those of you who were at TJ’s to cheer on the Huskers, we hope you has a good time as well. Husker fans are the greatest fans in the country. Keep it up Huskers.
Larry & Tommy
Stay tuned for exciting Big 10 events throughout the 2012 year. Only a few months, till BIG RED FOOTBALL starts up once again.
