Ann Arbor — In the aftermath of a difficult loss at Penn State, Michigan players vented and defended a teammate when asked their opinion of some of the nastiness that can brew among some fans who take to social media or message boards or email or radio to express their pointed displeasure.
In Michigan’s 28-21 loss at Penn State last Saturday, receiver Ronnie Bell dropped a fourth-down pass in the end zone that would have tied the game (with the extra-point kick) with 2:01 left. It wasn’t a game-ending play — the defense failed to prevent the Nittany Lions from converting on 3rd and 3 on the next drive — but it enraged some.
