Joe Paterno was fired this evening. For the second night in a row, students are gathering across campus, changing and running around like dumb college kids. So far, there have been reports of fireworks, but no real trouble. And as I typed that, Gregg Doyel reports the first light post has been taken down. Stick with us tonight as we’ll try and follow the crowd as it goes from gathering to potential riot.

From earlier – The CNN anchor does not know much about college football. Still, she’s done an admirable job and gotten the attention of many football fans.

And here is the van getting flipped. Things seem to be quieting. What with the police using mace and whatnot.
