FSU is taking notes to see how this goes.

If there is trouble brewing for Sonny Dykes, it's over losing to a bad UNC squad.

TCU fans look stupid for clowning SC for taking Briles.

They looked like shite on offense and it all comes down to Dykes.

He needs to be locked up.

If he's so bad at managing his emotions that he sucker punches a teammate and nearly kills him because he had a bad practice, he's not fit for society.

He's going to have other hard days in life, he's proven he's too much of a risk to be allowed around other people that could be affected by his mental fragility.
This country has become far too fricking lenient on savages. It has an effect on the psyche of the innocent, and it's nothing good.

No time for this nonsense, the media must continue to berate LSU.
somehow Ross will find a way to blame Kiffin for this.

Something like Kiffin told him to just keep his player in the training room.

It’s not a great look that it took 2 hours to go to the ER, but I can see how that would happen. You have a training room and trainers watching him, it’s not like this happened on the street and you would call EMS right away.

Attacker is lucky the victim survived. Brain bleeds are often fatal. WTF was he thinking?

2 hours doesn’t seem crazy to me


Same. First they have to get players to explain what happened. After the initial happened. Then evaluate and try and decide how severe. And even then, the travel time to hospital. Did they take him? Did an ambulance have to come? I’m sure if them they needed to get vehicle and take him to it and load carefully. Plus traffic time to hospital. Plus unload and get him admitted.

The times they list are not unreasonable. They list time of assault and then time of admission. 20 minutes at least before staff can start the figure out process. 30 minutes to test and decide on severity. 15 more to get a vehicle and load him. 30 more to hospital in traffic. 10 more to unload and get admitted/registered. Thats 105 minutes which is 1 hr 45 minutes and matches times.

Give and take some time but they are making the gap seem like its a big deal when it seems pretty normal.

but shouldn't blaming a delay be more on the trainers or the campus police than Dykes?


Why the campus police? They were not notified of the incident until the next day:

This is true, it’s not like ambulances arrive toss someone in and zoom off.

So you come in pull everyone away, you access him and have trainers that are running test, they see it’s not good so have to call for the ambulance which might be right by the facility but still then they have to come in and they are going to carefully load him. Also Dallas traffic can be insane so could see the route taking a while.

This seems more and more like lazy outrage journalism by someone that hasn’t had to deal with any actual medical emergency in their life. It’s not like TCU left the guy laying there knocked out on the floor.

Did no one else see it? Other teammates should have stepped in and whipped his arse.

The affidavit says Ezukanma believed Fields attacked him because he had been playing better during practice. Fields allegedly acknowledged in a message that he had made an "emotional decision" based on how he felt he had played during recent practices and offered to cover Ezukanma's medical expenses.

Frick Fields that piece of shite. I hope they press charges against him,

The detail provided in the OP is from the arrest warrant. Aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury, which in TX is 2 to 20 years. He’s already been bonded out

Dykes has nothing to do with it though. Maybe a civil argument if it happened on the practice field and he wasn’t seen to have taken the injury serious enough, but it was in the locker room after practice. The coaches aren’t around at that point, it might as well happened off campus. And it’s not like the medical staff reports to coaches, they serve the athletic department. Maybe there’s an argument against the school if the medical staff botched something horribly but Dykes has no liability for a player sucker punching another player outside of a team activity. Even if things were known to be heated between them before. That’s easily (and correctly) called a camp battle. A lunatic escalating it beyond that is not his problem

This is the framing / insinuation of neglect that only comes from a douchebag reporter who lost credentials and wasn’t adequately bullied growing up

Also can see how guys didn’t stop it, this wasn’t a fight with both guys shouting at each other and pushing and then throwing. This sounds like it went down pretty quick, it was a sneak attack not a pushing match that became punches being thrown.

Guy walks up one hit and then a kick, gets pulled away and then medical staff for tcu takes over. The timeline makes sense for where they were at. So clearly some loser journalist playing Monday morning qb on something he has no clue about.

Kicking someone in the head when they are already knocked out has been a disturbing trend we are seeing often on social media now. We are way too lenient on savages in this country.

This Fields guy is a legit sociopath that will kill someone one day.

Piling on Sonny Dykes for this is simply shifting blame from the idiot that attacked his teammate. That is where the ire of any TCU fans should be directed.

Fields was booked and charged with aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury, a felony. He was later released on a $50,000 bond.
