Paterno has hip replacement surgery

Penn State Sports Information Director Jeff Nelson sent out an email Sunday afternoon confirming Joe Paterno had "successful" hip replacement surgery at Mount Nittany Medical Center earlier the same day.

According to the email, Dr. Wayne Sebastianelli reports that Paterno is "resting comfortably" and "anxious" to get home.

In the email, Nelson writes that Paterno should be on his feet by Monday and able to resume his coaching regimen when Penn State players return to school on Dec. 1 after Thanksgiving break.

The Roster

Travis Johnson Mug

Travis Johnson is a senior majoring in journalism and political science and a football reporter for the Collegian. He's previously covered the wrestling, baseball and women's golf teams. Travis loves to drive fast with the windows down and the rock 'n' roll blaring — even in the winter.

Josh Langenbacher Mug

Josh Langenbacher has written for the Collegian since his junior year and covered the women's track and field team. He's hoping he doesn't have to rescue any colleagues from telephone booths in the HUB — or anywhere else, for that matter.

Andrew Wible Mug

Andrew Wible is a junior majoring in journalism and a football reporter for the Daily Collegian. He has also covered the men's and women's basketball teams. A confused soul, he listens to rap, plays golf and hunts. And like any true Pennsylvanian, he treats the Monday after Thanksgiving as a national holiday.
