Scott Van Pelt is a regular and Boomer Esiason made an appearance for the Nov. 14 game against Bucknell, but today the big name in the building is ex-Washington Redskin LaVar Arrington.

The former linebacker attended Penn State University and may have been drawn to the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. However, I’m a bit surprised to see Arrington show his face in Skins country after the fairly recent remarks he made about legendary coach Joe Gibbs.

“I called Joe Gibbs a coward for leaving,” Arrington said in [a recent Washington] Times interview. “You came in, you made some money for your NASCAR team. No one else is going to say that. I’m sure more people thought I was a [jerk] for saying that. Joe wouldn’t call me because he knows. There are a lot of people who know the truth about what went down with me and the Redskins.”

Perhaps some students were giving him a hard time because LaVar exited through the tunnel with 8:30 left to play in the first half.
