I haven't really seen a good replay, but Hat, do you think there's the possibility of anything criminal arising out of this?

Oh, let's see -- both teams cleared the benches, coaches trying (unsuccessfully) to thrwart the riot, cops on the field. . . .but all in all, nothing that you haven't seen on UFC. Body-slams, head-stomps, and -- oh wait let me correct myself -- a NEW MOVE: The helmet-in-hand tomahawk to the back of an unsuspecting player's head!

Hat, you still think of UM as the storied place of great college football? I'm sorry, but that entire program, to me, is in complete free fall.

As usual, Hat, your observations are right on. Especially #1, 2, and 10. Did you get out alive?

Yeah, I'm fine. I was down on the end of the field where the melee started. James Bryant taunted the FIU bench after his touchdown. An FIU player then roughed up Jon Peattie after the PAT and all hell broke loose. I will say this, I'm not in any way condoning or glorifying the stupidity that took place, but Kenny Phillips is a serious bada$$. If he doen't have the expected NFL career, he could easily be the Light Heavyweight champ.

As I mentioned in another thread, there were multiple tomahawk attempts.

It's not like this is the first on field brawl in college football history.

Other than the myriad of arrests in the stands, no. It was an on field fight. Did some guys act like morons? Absolutely. However, law enforcement in Metro Dade has far more important things to deal with. The only criminal conduct I saw was Larry Coker impersonating a D-I football coach.

Does anyone else find attacking another player with a helmet in hand as riduculous as I do? I mean, I'm pretty sure that I could fracture a skull with my meager frame. Don't tell me that 250+ pounds of pure muscle that can bench 450-500 pounds or more doesn't have the ability to do some serious harm when armed with a round, virtually unbreakable piece of hardware.

No, but Miami was playing FIU. In years past, when the team was under some semblance of control, they'd never have let themselves be bothered by such a weakling opponent.

It's bad. However, it's not the first time I've seen a guy swing a helmet. There were some guys swinging headware during the South Carolina-Clemson superbrawl.

Agreed . . . I think this seals Coker's fate.

The guy on film caught pulling the ole' hat trick was sophomore safety Anthony Reddick. I'd say his playing days are probably over.

Back in the day, they got in a pretty good brawl with a bad San Diego State team. The highlight of that one was the Rock squaring off with the Aztec mascot.

It's more than bad, IMO. What's the difference in a helmet and a bat, or a club, or a billy-club? They are all hard, rounded objects which would impart a remarkable force at the site of impact when swung with Superman force. If there isn't already some sort of legal/NCAA standard in place, there certainly should be. . . .especially with it now becoming commonplace.

No disagreement here.

I think your frame looks pretty nice myself, Doc. :blush:

Does anyone else think charges should be filed? I mean attacking someone with a helmet is easily a felony charge if yopur not on a football field. Just because it's a sport these athletes still should face criminal charges. JMO

Of all the things I thought I was going to have to own up to tonight. :lol:

I admit . . . I didn't think they'd be able to hold the triple option down like that.

I can't wait until D-Mo makes an awesome hit and gives his signature scowl to the camera so we can dismiss him as just another "thug".

Let me get this straight. You are comparing a fight where players threw other players around, stomped on other's heads and used helmets as weapons, to a guy making a play and celebrating that?

You have a very distorted view of reality. :whistling:
