Two coaches from Miami-Ohio (college football) are being suspended for fighting. One was arrested after he attacked a fan, and the other was caught destroying the coach's box.
I sent one of my friends an email about this today. He is one of the I don't like soccer because of the violence that occurs types. My email was, it only happens in soccer, and cited the arrest article wherein the coach gave the fan a concussion. Class Act indeed.
I guess the coach took the Gamboa thing a bit too seriously. But really, it's pretty frightening from the details. A fan, along with tons of other ran onto the field after the victory, and he was waving goodbye to the Miami team and the coach gave him a forearm to the face. Makes the coach who destroyed the office seem classy.
you along with everyone else really have no facts to back this up; there are two sides to the story. the coach said he thought the guy as running after one of his players. as many writers and sports personalities said...what the fvck was a 36 year old guy doing on the field anyway? rushing the field cannot keep happening, is it going to take someone to die before something is done?
You should have also added: (1) the incident where the UConn students were peppered-sprayed by police when they tried to tear down the goal-post, (2) the drunken fan at a CFL playoff game between B.C. and Winnipeg in which the B.C. Lions players started to beat him up after the fan started to fight one of it's player, (3) A father and son started to beat up on the K.C. Royals first base coach, (4) Last years' beer bottle throwing on the field and referees at NFL games in cleveland and New Orleans, (5) and finally the Sacramento-Lakers pre-season game feud.
Plus all those times in baseball when a batter freaks out if a pitcher hits him. Instead of it being two players fighting, it ends up being almost everyone from both teams.
Well I'm just basing my opinion on what I read on espn.com. Seems like fact enough to me. I'm sure there are two sides to the story but they never got a comment from the coach who nailed the fan. But I agree with you on the fans rushing the field. Just having all those people at once seems chaotic enough and I'm surprised more incidents like this one haven't happened.
rushing the field is still WAY better than having fans crushed in the stands, like has happened at the University of Wisconsin. you've got a big open area where fans can get to and relieve some of the pressure that would build up if 15,000 people at the bottom of the stadium tried to rush the field. you HAVE to let them go on the field, because it would be much worse if they didn't.
Hillsborough. AS for the incident, what does it say for Marshall fans that they get beat up by a 40 year old fat ass coach? They should atleast put up a good fight. Bunch of softies.
No way...it was a sucker punch. The guy is covering his own ass by saying he thought he was going to go after one of his players. It was a cheap shot, and the guy should lose his job. Did the other coach think the Marshall coach's box was going after one of the Miami players, too?
ha ha no, the same excuse can't apply to them...funny enough, one of the assistant coachs that has been suspended (Tavor Johnson, linebackers coach) is a former Millikin (IL) University assistant coach who I worked for when I was a student at Millikin.
I remember when that happened. Right after it did, they showed highlights. A girl I went to school with (this was still at college) transferred from Wisconsin the year before, and was quite worried that people she knew would be there.
