paterno about the alleged rape. pennsylvania governor tom corbett said he supported the firing of joe paterno. you know, everyone is upthat's joe pa is brought on this. he didn't deserve it. i urge the board to deal with this quickly and swiftly. coach paterno was on this year's list of presidential medal r. but the senator who placed him on that list withdrew him. i think what get lost, when this first came out, mike mcqueary was read too the graduate assistant. this is a kid who grew up in

state college, very reveered family, and was their starting quarterback at penn state before becoming an assistant coach. >> and moved up the ladder. >> to be one of joe paterno's top assistant. it's going to be real, surreal. the game is at noon. that place is going to be packed. it is going to be an interesting scene to. let's hope it all stays civil no matter what happens on the football field. this is so much more than football. this story transcended football. for the first time in four decades, they're going to have a new head coach. tom bradley has been on joe paterno's staff for 33 years. you saw at the press conference when he talked about take over for joe pa that he said it's wit mixed emotions. he still revered joe paterno but, yet, he has a job to do. this is not an easy situation

to step in. i know the nebraska kids coming in were a little uneasy. it's a good thing that the campus starts at non. >> who cares about winning or losing at this point. let's just have a civil football game if we can do that at this point for three hours. let's try to keep it about that >> tough situation for the kids who it actually played football. some of them were kids when this happened themselves. you hate to see them puppished. i think it is smart that they took away mcqueary from this ballgame because could you imagine if he were there? >> we were outraged when that was not initially done. penn state has taken a couple of stems forward and then a couple of stems back. that's the smart thing to do for everybody involved. when you talk about having 70, 80, 90,000 people.

you have to take stems. i hit it unfortunate is finally taking those steps. >> a stadium over well 100,000. >> tom bradley has been on the staff for 35 years. a lot of these coaches have been on the staff for years and years and years. tend of the season, are they all gone? >> i think so. they're going to have to clean house. that's going to be tom bradley as well because he has been with joe pa for 33 years. they have to get a clean slate. how can you go forward with some of the same people that made those decisions a decade ago. for everybody involved, they have to move on. wilson ramos situation? >> the good news is that he is still aly. the family is waiting to hear from the be abductors. everybody in d.c. is thinking about wilson ramos today. the nats were spossed to be there at fight night. they chose not to be there because everybody is holding

their breath. >> really tough situation when even the family says is, all we can do is wait to hear some kind of ransom request. >> nothing so far but the authority are waiting. >> they found the vehicle and they say he is alive. so fingers crossed that all that ends well. >> al? >> steve and day, thank you as president barack obama gets ready to honor the nation's heroes by laying a wreath, the administration is still dealing with fallouts after reports that remains were mishandled at dover air force base. >> reporter: that investigation began last year. it is eerily similar to the problems found here at arlington national cemetery. three whistle blowers reported the mishandled remains at dover and some of the unidentified remains were dumped in a virginia landfill. dover air force base is where

america's war dead come home, a scathing report now says that bad handling of remains have dishonored those who gave their lives. parts of bodies were unidentified improperly disposed off by air force morticians in landfill. three people were punished but no one was fired over what the report called gross mismanagement. secretary of defense leon panetta says that additional probes are under way aren't all americans, including myself, are justifiably disturbed. >> we are not going to stand for. this we are not going to allow this to exist. we have to do this better. it has to be corrected. >> the report found that body parts from troops killed in afghanistan were lost twice and that, in one case, arm bone of a dead marine was sawed off to fit into his uniform.

newt gingrich has been rising in the polls despite very little money. >> gingrich is not without weakness. the long voting record and issues from his personal life could be real limitations. a candidacy that was once in deep trouble is now resurgent with herman cain battling his own problems, long-time front runner romney could soon have a new challenger on his hands. >> for now, mitt romney may try to take any advantage of any vacuum that may exist by now trying to take iowa that was seen as a long shot for him still ahead, a heads up for metro rail riders on this veteran day. >> plus a wedding rush is on. thousands of couples are expected to tight knot today. why? we'll explain why. >> may have to do with the

ten days until they have to come up with a plan to cut $1.2 trillion. if they don't, there is an automatic trigger for a trillion dollar in cuts, automatic cuts, including half a trillion from the pentagon that the defense secretary says would threaten our national security. we'll talk to two key members to get a sense. one republican and one democrat. are they going to get a deal or is this going to be like the debt crisis where it doctors on and on and drags the country down. >> i'm curious to hear what they have to say. i talked to one member of the super committee before they started. the biggest fear was that they would not be able to get something done based upon what they have seen over the aft year or so it's the same old argument that democrats want a balance of spending cuts and tax increases and the republicans are saying, all spending cuts now in the last few days. they have talked a little bit about revenue increase but to the democrats' point of view, not enough. you know, there are two sides to the argument, but in the

meantime, still an argument. >> thanksgiving will be here before we know it. >> listen, you were joking about not being up late last night much i was actually up late last night because i went to fight night. i saw every member of the under armour. >> i didn't realize this was fight night. >> kevin plank. this is a heck of a story. this guy is 39 years old now. he was a special teams player at the university of maryland in the mid-90s. he noticed whenever he went out to play, his cotton t-shirt would get drenched and something that weighed an ounce or six ounces would way two or three pounds. so he just came up with the idea, what if we had a synthetic material that didn't absorb all of this sweat? and out of that, he has built a multibillion dollars entreprise. he is a only in america type of a story. he explains how he used to bluff all the people who would

call him up and give them the impression that he had a really big company when, in fact, he was operating out of the floors of his grandmother's home in georgetown. >> you know, i love it that there were many players who complained about those heavy t- shirt and he is the one who did that. >> how would you like to be the guy who came up with something like that. >> you just hope -- we have to do something about these t- shirt, it's killing me. >> we'll have to see about that >> we had a great idea and the idea was to try to surprise holly morris. it is nearly impossible to do that. >> but we did it. last hour, we shocked her with the announcement. we are not done with the surprises. let's check in with holly and allison next door. >> how is it doing? >> i love the girls here.
