LSU Releases Statement Regarding Steve Kragthorpe & The Texas A&M Postgame Incident

From an Aggie fan, this was just some unfortunate reactions that are a fail on both sides. I can't justify what Craig was trying to accomplish, and the various videos show that Cole Fisher was trying to prevent a physical confrontation. Wider camera evidence: Kragthorpe approached him inside his personal space while his back was turned. Cole reacted by pushing Krag back, not knowing he had a pacemaker, a modest push if you ask me. Did Krag double over as he said he did? No. Irrelevant, though, as it was enough physical motion to get the attention of Faulk who also acted poorly (or richly according to half the LSU fanbase, whatevs). Cole took a punch or two for trying to keep the peace and paid a price. Congrats, I guess. Scoreboard, I guess. Krag, catching the open hand on his chest in the wrong place, probably let the pain and emotion get the best of him, telling the cops he was "punched". I'm sure if he sees the replay of the numerous camera angles, he'd nut up like the rest of us and say it was just an unfortunate case of being in the wrong place at wrong time, just like Cole Fisher, who took a couple shots to the face. Nobody wins the "who's the sleaziest program" argument over a brief encounter of misfortunes. Enough the the "so-and-so" needs to be fired crap.

So are you saying that the postgame fight was somehow LSU's fault? What exactly should anyone representing LSU have done to prevent this? Have you contacted LSU to offer your PR services to them?

I can't compute how you people can keep saying this. Charges for being shoved? Krag was questionably aggressive. Can't use Parkinson's when you are moving toward other people. There's a lot of wrong on both sides.

Coach Craig needs to resign or to be suspended,,,, if TAM had any class.

they are there

Kellen Mond probably just doesn’t like seafood

putting your unwelcome hands on another person is ASSAULT

Exactly. He sure saw to it that his sex offender QB got him a national championship. And the sideline skirmish would never have happened if Dameyune Craig had acted like he's been there before.

Had *jonathan Giles had not fumbled ANM the ball that lead to a score,* none of this would have happened.

If Tracy doesnt miss a field goal, none of this nonsense would have happened.

If the Aggies and Mizzou had never been admitted to the SEC none of this nonsense would have happened.
