The Hits Keep Coming

Post by BigDawgPop »

Seems like everyday another big time football school gets hit with some type of scandal or crime report. Do you think that the fans and public will ever tire of these prima donna's and stop supporting them?

Bar fights happen every night, but they only get reported in the paper if a football player is involved. Nothing to see here.

They're certainly higher profile individuals that are held to a higher standard. But using that as an excuse to why it gets reported is bogus. If you read the article, apparently it was a gang beating of one dude, and officers were injured in the fight.
We’ve never had a problem with them in the past, but tonight, apparently they had a falling out with another gentleman. I don’t know why. I don’t know what happened, but several of the guys started beating up the other customer. I want to guess there was seven to 10 guys beating up this one gentleman.

“All the security then rushed in and were trying to break it up. My husband saw them picking up bar stools and starting to swing them. We got them out the door with security. There happened to be a friend of ours who was an off-duty police officer outside. He tried to help, and he ended up getting knocked out in the street and proceeded to be kicked while he was down on the ground in the middle of Cumberland.

“That’s basically the gist of it.”
Who wants to bet the individual that got his ass kicked made a USC/Lane Kiffin comment? :lol:

Knocking out and stomping the off-duty cop who tried to break it up was sheer genius.

Seems like it's Oregon or Tennessee most of the time...
