CHICAGO - For the record, Joe Paterno has no plans to retire, a subject he was forced to discuss repeatedly this week.
If he were leaving the game, however, he'd go after presiding over 487 games, and only two in which he believed officials intentionally made bad calls.
"One we won and one we lost," Paterno said Wednesday at the Big Ten football media days. "I won't get into it, because I don't think it's fair. You guys can look up who the officials (were)." But Paterno did elaborate somewhat, saying, "The one we won, the coach who lost the game -- that was way back -- he walked off the field and wouldn't talk to me. I called him and he said, 'You've got a bunch of hired hoods,' and he blamed it on me."
