PAVE Column: On gameday, stay classy Madison

The scandal exposed at Penn State University earlier this month is nothing short of devastating. Weeks after its initial surfacing, it is still a highly discussed issue on campus, especially with this Saturday?s upcoming matchup. When the Nittany Lions come to Madison this weekend, emotions are sure to run high. Per usual, we want to win, but we?re also playing a team recently led by some detestable people, a reality that stirs up strong emotions in most. Around campus, I?ve heard students joke about chanting ?Pedo State? come gameday. Others have discussed switching out the ?asshole? chant with ?rapist.? One student even proposed shouting, ?You rape little boys! You rape little boys!?
