The mildcats whipping the turtles 40-26 at half. WOW.......
Really glad it wasn’t Illinois that they unloaded on...Not surprised. With Northwestern playing well lately and having those close losses, I just had that feeling they were gonna explode on someone eventually.
Meanwhile... two ex Illini coaches teams had a bench clearing game ending brawl.
my goodness.
No one lucky here except Alan Griffin, who won't be the featured bad guy of the night.
The Kansas and Kansas State game? If so it was a long time coming. By the way, Coach Underwood handled theMeanwhile... two ex Illini coaches teams had a bench clearing game ending brawl.

Better to pull focus on that than Griffins embarassmentMeanwhile... two ex Illini coaches teams had a bench clearing game ending brawl.

Maybe this will keep AG out of the news...
I was thinking the same thing!!!!!!No one lucky here except Alan Griffin, who won't be the featured bad guy of the night.
Wow, curious to see how this shakes out.So huuuuuge brawl into the stands after the K State game caused by Kansas players...uh oh, Billy. Suspensions coming to your guys, too...
Who is 22 for Kansas? Picking up a chair to hit someone? Really? I hope half the Kansas team gets suspended, long term.... pitiful.
Or Vince McMahon books the rematch at Madison Square Garden, on the same card as the Undertaker, The Rock and Triple H!Who is 22 for Kansas? Picking up a chair to hit someone? Really? I hope half the Kansas team gets suspended, long term.... pitiful.
I would expect some severe suspensions...for Garden City Community College.I'm very interested to see how this plays out. De Sousa (the guy that picked up the chair) should probably be suspended the rest of the year right? Maybe even kicked off the team? And it seems like the biggest instigators on the KState side were in street clothes, so either red shirting or injured. Not sure how you punish them.
Regardless, I think the punishments have to be severe for two reasons. Both entire teams were involved which makes it look very bad. And the fight spilled off the court, which put fans/cheerleaders/media at risk of getting hurt. UGLY.

Not only that, but apparently it spilled into a section for disabled people (according to the espn story)...:doh: Maybe they can appeal some more to get DeSousa back on the floor ASAPI'm very interested to see how this plays out.

1972 OSU- MinnesotaWas watching the Duke when Dickie V was giving the Illini a lot of love tonight. Mentioned the the Illini quite a few times while announcing at the Duke game.
The Kansas / Kansas St. game was a complete embarrassment for two former Illini coaches. Not sure either team will be able to or should field a team after all the suspensions are done for that bench clearing brawl into the spectator area no less. Fans could have been seriously hurt. Both universities should be embarrassed and suspend all team members that left the bench and forfeit their next game. Set an example for the complete lack of sportsmanship shown by your players involved in that melee. We'll see if they take responsibility. Never seen anything like it. The player about to use the chair as a weapon should never see the court again this year.
As for Griffin tonight, he should be suspended and apologize to the player, his team, and the university. No call for what he did tonight. Don't even try excuse yourself that you lost your balance. Glad to see Underwood strongly motioning him to get off the floor and go to the locker room and hear his comments after the game. Video was already posted...Griffin already a "featured bad guy" numerous times on ESPN.
Sorry for my rant, but you can't let the crap I saw tonight happen in a game. Nip it in the bud, forcefully, unequivocally, and with severe consequences.
