re: Oregon fans react to LSU's situation

A handful of dumb responses by Oregon "fans" does not reflect the majority viewpoint.

Most of the fans I have interacted with in the wake of this bar brawl is that of understanding, as Oregon has in recent years had several very public off-field incidents. Sometimes it resulted in suspensions, sometimes it resulted in players getting kicked off the team, and sometimes when the full facts came out it turned out to be much ado about nothing.

I choose to look at things on a case-by-case basis, and will wait for the investigation to come out before making any significant judgments on the matter. I certainly don't celebrate in any way others being in trouble, Oregon has players suspended for the game and maybe LSU will as well and maybe not.

The game will be played by the best players available for both teams, let's enjoy it for that aspect with the victory coming ON the turf, not off of it. I feel bad for any kids that get caught up in off-field incidents and find their names being dragged through the mud while investigations are still taking place, regardless of school affiliation.

Won't it be great when September 3rd rolls around and we can talk about what takes place on the field?
