Paterno says he's feeling fine now
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Penn State coach Joe Paterno shrugged off a medical scare and said Friday that he feels fine after going to the hospital this week to be treated for dehydration.
He even suggested he’d like to coach several more years.
‘‘Realistically, at my age, if I go three, four, five (more) years, that would be great,’’ Paterno said.
The 81-year-old Hall of Fame coach went to the hospital for several hours Thursday. He flew to Austin on Friday to attend a dinner at the University of Texas to support an endowed chair in global affairs named after Longhorns coach Mack Brown.
Before the dinner, Paterno cracked jokes with reporters about how his age makes people worry every time he feels the slightest bit ill.
‘‘Yesterday I didn’t think this event was getting enough press. I decided to go to the hospital and see if I could spruce it up a bit,’’ Paterno said. ‘‘I feel good.
