I don't know what happened but they need to fire everyone in the football program from coaches on down, everyone in the building. Fire the entire board of regents also. Give the players a release if they so wish to transfer. Then start over from scratch.

So we’re jumping to conclusions like some did with Incognito Guess need to let it play out.


Nobody had any physical violence in that. Clearly if someone is getting held down and beat up by a teammate then SOMETHING is going on

I understand if you are getting jumped by multiple guys. But if you are one on one with someone, why can't you just fight it out like a real man and get on your way like they used to?. Why do people think it's a necessity to shoot or stab somebody if they get into a fight now?. If you can't handle getting your arse kicked, then don't get in a fight.

Well everyone in media is jumping on whistleblower reaction. Not the waiting for other side to come out. So it’s just like Incognito people just jumped the gun

I can’t really imagine many scenarios where the guy eating punches while getting held down is the one in the wrong there

Holding the kid down wasn't being a pussy?
My comment didn't suggest this. I was calling the guy that will kill someone of someone else fist fights him a pussy.

I wonder if there is a pro-Durkin contingency on the team. The media obviously wouldn’t report on that if it were the case but if so that team is in a very dysfunctional situation.

People don't get held down and gang beaten for just picking on someone.

This has the sniff of bullshite. I got into a fight in high school. Just as we were being pulled apart, I was grabbed before him and he got a clean shot at my face. It was just bad timing....I didn’t accuse anyone of holding me down.
My guess is the whistleblower was paranoid, and at the same time he was being dick enough to get his arse whipped by the other PUNTER!

Durkin should have been fired, but this kid may be taking advantage of the culture situation.

So he should have just pulled his .45 from underneath his shoulder pads and put a bullet in him, huh??

Are you always this stupid or did we just catch you on a bad day?

There has to be video of this incident. All colleges film practice and with HD quality.

The article says that they had video of the fight and were investigating. Also, I'd like to point to Barber's (punter who got the worst of it) account.

quote:

Toward the end of the practice, Barber said, Lees attacked him, attempting to punch him in the face. While the two teammates were fighting, others intervened, trying to break up the fight and grabbed Barber’s arms behind his back, he said. That allowed Lees to punch Barber repeatedly in the face, leaving him with a black eye, needing multiple stitches on his forehead and a dislocated shoulder, Barber said.


His words do not paint a picture of being held down for the other punter, Lees, to beat him up. Instead, his own statement is that Wade and Lees were fighting when people trying to stop the fight corralled Wade first, leaving him at the disadvantage that let Lees do some damage. Now, whether the players who broke up the fight maybe were in less of a rush to grab Lees is a fair question because it sounds like the team supports Lees and thinks Barber maybe had it coming to him. That is a lot different than a pre-meditated handicap-match style beatdown.
