PSU - I don't think he was referring to Penn State as not being a great university, they are. It's a great place to graduate from with a long tradition, but in my mind, rarely do atheletes earn the same degrees that people such as yourself do. We've fought about this over and over again, but I think most atheletes don't have to put forth the same effort in the classroom as most students (This, of course, applies to only to players who are studs).

As many people know I'm not the biggest Lavar supporter, I've said it a million times but he's a great athelete that rarely buys into systems and gets caught out of position as often as he makes a huge play. If he's not buying into the system then he most certainly shouldn't be playing. Could this be the coaching staff's message to LaVar to sit down and shut up? Could it just be his knee isn't completely ready? Or could it simply be the packages that involved LaVar weren't called much last game seeing as how we didn't hardly blitz Bledsoe?

Whatever it is at this point is all speculation, there are a lot of things it could be. While I think LaVar is over-rated and paid too much he can make some big plays. I just want to see him play more diciplined football.
