Just to name a few. ESPN should be coming along shortly, I would imagine.

Pathetic.

Good point. Let's get all the facts.

Now that I have a real computer with me l can write about this at length. The reason this is so bad is the details, "if True." Its my general opinion that we overreact to fighting in modern society, I have always believed a good punch up can be A rather good night out, but if the story is true, there are many cowardly and disturbing elements to this story that make it not ok even in my book. There seems to be targeting of women going on here, that is really not ok, also this whole notion of I'm going to get my "homies" this is an adolescent playground behavior that often ends with people getting shot in the hood. This was a minor incident until the players got back up and went back to the party. If "10 to 30 people did show up, not a single one of them stopped to think maybe this will hurt the team and lets not do this, but, they got to keep it real, they got to keep the street cred. I've never been one to condemn youth culture and the whole tired "Kids Today" type of thing but many of the tweets coming out the team are disturbing, sometimes with Gang overtones. And then there is Rich Rod who is really backed into a corner here. It’s a national story because Rich Rod is here, if Stoops where here it might have been kept local. That is another great advantage and disadvantage of having a high profile coach. This will really hurt the program. Image wise, recruiting wise, and it undermines Rich Rod either way. If he kicks everyone off the team, he might lose players who thought he was acting to rashly but if he doesn’t he will have the media on his case and fan backlash that will undermine his position. So Rich will take a hit from this either way, and before he is established with good relationships with either the team or the public. JUST NOT GOOD ALL AROUND.
