Should he have done it? Probably not. But considering that many thousands of people who went to that game still idolize and deify a child rapist enabler, I’d say what LaVert did is pretty mild in the grand scheme. There are far worse things in this world that are associated with Penn State football.

Although this idea is getting some good traction here............how would a so named section be used?  Is it reserved for an off the field action for which a player must now apologize?  I kind of hope it will not be used frequently, if at all.  Last week the title could have been "Oh, Kekoa!".

I doubt he did this as an anti-Sandusky/Paterno thing.

I know people are defending him because they're pissed about how the game turned out.  I just don't want this to be a sign of players thinking of self over team.  The season is not over and we don't need guys playing for self over team and turn 5-2 into 7-6.

Florida State's head football coach essentially challenged a fan to a post-game fight on the way to the locker room. 

I can't imagine the full-on freakout that would occur if Harbaugh did the same.

I read this on another board:  "Most offense Michigan showed all game".   Good for Lavert.   Maybe he can play both ways next week.

PSU where to stick it - but UM atheletes shouldn't be the ones doing it. Just because they have no class, doesn't mean we should sink to their level.

Look, if you can't beat them on the field, you have to do everything to beat them off the field in my opinion.  Whether it's recruiting victories, trips to the vatican, shows on Amazon, whatever.  It shows that Michigan doesn't stand for being pushed down t0 3rd or 4th place in the east again.  That they have way too much pride for that.  I think the harlmess jesture shows that pride.   Well done.

I'm always amazed this stuff gets the attention it does.  It's a college-aged human being flipping people off.  There have to be more important matters to cover than that.
