suspensions coming?

[26 Year Gap]

What an end in the Xavier game. A guy kicked a down guy in a brawl. I suspect that there will be a lot of guys missing for some games. Just downright ugly.

Guys?

Players? Coaches? Substitutes?

Could be a multiple of the above. Bench clearing brawl with 9.4 seconds left.

Earlier, with about 3:40 left, Cincinnati committed a bush league foul that EASILY could have been ruled an intentional when the player grabbed and held onto the Xavier player's shorts as he blew by him on a drive. Not sure if that player was involved or not in the major part of the brawl. NOBODY left on either bench.

Me thinks #34 Black, is in big trouble for the right cross.......

This is the reason all this showboating, taunting and celebration displays do not go over well with the NCAA and the NF. These things can escalate very quickly and all it takes is the right timing and it is like a spark near a bunch of poring gasoline.

So, is the stomper. Did they put up the video of the guy yanking the shorts of his opponent who had blown by him on a drive?

Half time of the Ohio State vs Kansas game, ESPN showed it from many angles and talked about it for quite a while. Said, #34 (Yancey Gates) should have to sit at least 10 games.

So many involved and off the bench......wow!

Yep, me agrees.


I pray I never have anything like that happen in a game.

Agreed.

Had a loose ball in the lane the other night in my GV game the other night. After the scrum, Girl was on all fours in the lane crying, bleeding. Pretty sad to see.

Hope that's it for the yr........

What suspensions do you think will come down for the referees?

From what I saw on ESPN, it looked like the crew should have T'd the bench player and Marcus Lyons (?) for the exchange at the half. It looked very chippy and it is a good rivalry game. To me those are two reasons to have an increased awareness and be ready to respond.

I really think this crew is going to face suspensions

I think there really needs to be an examination of the whole blocking process. Coaches should have to go through their university presidents to explain why an offical should be banned from doing their games. And university presidents need to be very sure that the behavior leading to any technical fouls is clearly explained. I think the fear of being blackballed by leagues is playing a role in the lack of enforcing sportsmanship issues. That kid who played Robin Hood with #5s shorts should at a MINIMUM been given an IF.

That said, I am sure that crew will be getting the hair dryer treatment.

I hope there is an unknown trigger that boots them if there are any more unsporting Ts or flagrants. By unknown, I mean that they are known internally, but others such as officials, will have no such knowledge.

I also hope that the Xavier coach steps up to the plate with similar sanctions.

Honestly other than maybe a couple of players, I do not see the same action given by the Xavier program. Unfortunately for Cincinnati, this all took place near or in front of their bench.

Now I think the NCAA or conference is going to come down harder on everyone than the schools will do.

Peace
