    <I>STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Joe Paterno will not be punished for grabbing an official after Penn State's overtime loss to Iowa.


    Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany determined that Paterno's conduct did not violate the league's rules against unsportsmanlike conduct, conference spokesman Scott Chipman said Tuesday.


    Two calls went against Penn State in overtime Saturday, including a catch by Tony Johnson that was ruled good by the back judge, then overruled and called out by another official.


    When the game ended, Paterno sprinted down the field and grabbed the jersey of referee Dick Honig as he was headed into the locker room.


    <B>"All I did was try to stop him because he was running ahead of me,'' Paterno said. "I was running to the locker room, I grabbed him by the shirt and I said 'Hey, Dick, you had two lousy calls.' Not he, I said the two guys on the other side had two lousy calls.''</b>


    Iowa beat Penn State 42-35. </I>

    See, that's what I used to too whenever I was pissed at officials...I thought that was their real names. :D
