Great win for the Tigers.

I can't wait to see Brad Smith in two more years. He's a stud.

Remember former Cardinals Offensive Coordinator Dick Jamieson? His son Tim is the Head Baseball Coach at Missouri.

After my two years of JUCO Baseball, I almost went there to play. I decided to stay home and persue my broadcasting career. It was a tough call, but I think I made the right one.

Jim O: best journalism school in the country at Mizzou (or well...maybe tied with Northwestern and Columbia from what I read - make that the best "affordable" journalism school in the country)... I think there are quite a few mizzou alums that post here..conrad and I for sure... Diehard lives there - not sure if he went there or not.. probably a few others..

roland, mcginnis, kuhlman either went to mizzou or coached there...have not had a player from there in awhile..

Yes, Missouri has a great Broadcast School. I looked long and hard at that.

However, ASU has a great program too. The Walter Cronkite School of Journalism.

It all came down to In-State tuition vs Out-of-State tuition.

I went to Mizzou it's a great atmosphere and a great school. I hear the guy that got punched wasn't even a student just some guy from around where I live.

Personally I think pressing charges is a bit lame. He wasn't supposed to be on the field in the first place and on the news here he admited taunting the guy.

What the guy did was wrong but I'd just be a man about it and let it go like it is. I am afraid the guy is only pressing charges to further a lawsuit later on and jeez that's just what the world needs more of.

it was damn nice of the biggest star on the Missouri team - brad smith - to walk back and pick the guy up...I saw him being interviewed after the game and brad smith seems like a really nice kid.. Smith was barely recruited out of high school - the mizzou coach came from Toledo and I think Smith was going to sign with Toledo until the coaching change..not sure my facts on this are 100% accurate.

You are correct sir it is true and nobody wanted the kid he was too skinny etc etc.

I'll tell you this Pinkel is like Mac in that everyone loves the guy but the only difference I can see is he takes absolutely no BS. He will not tolerate failure or stupidity from his players.

They play tough and they play almost mistake free football. Brad Smith hadn't thrown an interception in like 143 attempts before that game and the media was complaining they weren't being aggressive enough..

Oh to have those problems.

Pinkel is the type of guy the Cardinals need but he is staying right where he is at thank you very much.

 

[pinnacle]

Conrad..I aree with what you are saying..but Pinkel seems very organized and is getting the most out of the talent he has - while Mac..well..you know...

That stat on interceptions by Smith is totally amazing. What would the Cardinals record be if we had that type of non-turnover thing going on?

The thing i don't understand is how come last year,i believe it was last year,at Marshall,a fan ran onto the field after the game and a coach from Miami-Oh knokced him down and the coach got fired.This guy threw a punch and decked him and gets 1 game.Robert Reynlods,from OSU,also shoud have gotten more than a 1 game suspension but his act was less atrociuos than the punk from Nebraska's.I mean,he's in full pads and sucker punches a fan running onto the field AFTER the game.That act was worse than Kermit Washington smashing in Rudy T's face.At least in that game a fight had broken out and he was protecting himself.The Nebraska'a AD,who used to be at OSU,comes out and partially blames the fan.What an ass.I hope that guys sues the crap out of Nebraska.

Nebraska's AD came from Pitt.

There is another video out there that shows it from a distance. The fan was running in and out of the Huskers players, intentionally getting in their way and taunting them. Right before he got decked he smacked the player infront of "The Puncher" in the helmet and started waiving his fist at the guy who decked him.

I am by no means justifying what the player did. He should have shown restraint! That would have to be a scarey situation for any player, just lost in an away game and a bunch of drunk crazy fans are storming the field.

Hanson should be removed from the team for good no question about it, at least a 5 game suspension.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

Pederson was the asst. AD at Ohio State before going to Pitt.I realize the guy was probably acting like a jerk and Hutson is just a college kid but,like you said,1 game is pretty weak.Getting taunted by the opponent is part of the deal.

Agree! But I have also always been of the opinion that if you break the law you lose your rights. Like if a guy breaks into your house and you shoot him he should not be able to sue you. This kid broke the law by being on the field. Mizzou should press charges against him too. They said in the 4th quarter that if anyone was caught on the field after the game they would be arrested and they would press charges. If he was obeying the law he would not have been there in the first place.

Not sure that I can agree with your logic here. Of course the fan does not belong on the field, but the Husker was not acting in a "policing" or "crowd control" role. He was pi$$ed that they had just gotten their @sses handed to them and decided to take it out on a Mizzou fan. The Husker, Huston or Hutson, initiates the contact, otherwise, the fan runs past him with no contact.

College football, basketball, etc. has always had crowds rush the field after big wins - legal or appropriate or not. The attack was malicous and unprovoked. If this fan ran into the Husker locker room I'd say he got what he deserved - not on the field though.

What is worse, the Nebraska coach and players are trying to pretend like it was accidental - BS!

NO ONE has said it was accidental. That is BS to say that they are trying to say that.

Unprovoked? I don't think so.

I may have overstated the Coach's reaction but here are two quotes. I have seen two interviews- one with the coach and one with the player in question -

The Coach - "Kellen is very sorry that this unfortunate situation happened, and so are we," Nebraska coach Frank Solich said. "After viewing the film and speaking to people who were at the scene, I truly believe that Kellen did not instigate the situation and that he was simply reacting to what he saw as a dangerous situation coming right at him."

The player - "I would never intentionally bring harm to another individual."

Now neither one of them appears like they want Huston to accept any responsibility for the incident.

Your right. Solich is talking about exactly what I describe earlier the fan was taunting the players and actually slapped one player in the head (helmet) and then was waiving his first or finger at Kellen right before he decked him. And like I said before he should have restrained himself. His comment about never intentionally bringing harm to someone I think is just trying to sound like a relatively good guy who made a mistake which I don't doubt he is. But his mistake was on a national stage and it was a big mistake no matter what the guy was doing. He should be punished more severely.
