Channing Stribling Unpleased With Allen Robinson’s New Ink
Former Michigan DB Channing Stribling took to social media to express his disapproval of Allen Robinson's new tattoo, commemorating his legendary catch for Penn State.
Allen Robinson’s legendary catch for the Penn State Nittany Lions in 2013 is a moment in college football that will truly never be forgotten.
With his team down, 34-27, to the Michigan Wolverines in the final seconds of the fourth quarter, Robinson caught a miracle pass from quarterback Christian Hackenberg over Michigan defensive back Channing Stribling to help Penn State upset Michigan, 43-40, in four overtimes.
Robinson decided to commemorate the play that now stands as the highlight of his college career by having it permanently inked onto his body.

While this new tattoo is pretty awesome, Stribling didn’t take too kindly to it. He sent out the following tweets after Allen posted the above photo.

Salty, much?
But can one blame Stribling? Being on the wrong end of such a famous play is tough enough, but knowing it will forever be imprinted on your enemy’s body has to be a tough pill to swallow.
Regardless, it’s fun witnessing all of these old, bitter feelings resurface.
Ah, the power of social media.
