The most surreal scene in a day full of them may have taken place when Joe Paterno addressed the throngs of chanting students who had assembled on his lawn awaiting his return from practice. The pictures of Paterno, holding back tears and addressing the students from his living room window have been widely circulated.

Video of the scene continues to come out. Amazingly, the video below shows Paterno leading the exuberant and supportive students in "We Are Penn State" chants.
