I'll go into more detail.
-As the players headed into the tunnel at halftime, several Arkansas players had to change jerseys because cups of whatever beer or coke I don't know which was hurled at our players and coaching staff. A total of 13 players were soaked and some didn't have jerseys to change into as our equipment manager failed to bring along extra uni's for some. A total of 7 fans were removed from the stadium.
-At halftime the game was well in hand. And Pete Carroll told Houston Nutt that he was planning on starting his 2nd and 3rd team to begin the 2nd half. Not only did he not start them, he ran up the score. (Which is fine, it's a game, the point is to score as many as you can.) But it's lying that pissed Houston Nutt off.
-The flag was not only stolen, but the pep band that had their flag stolen from, the flagman was not only jumped, but ended up with a broken nose and required 7 s ches on his face as he tried to defend his flag. Security also removed 4 fans that were caught doing this as the flag was already moving through the stands.
I could go on but you get the point. Every Sunday night our Razorback channel has a one hour show. And for the whole hour that weekend they showed nothing but video from the game of Nickolas White (the flagman) getting his ass kicked, and the players getting slammed with drinks as well as the coaches for several minutes as they had to start running into the tunnel. One coach for Arkansas was so lit you could see him standing and screaming at some fans, and you could see about 20 fans leaned over the rails spitting and throwing debree at him.
I understand sometimes this happens. But that is a total lack of respect. Especially when all of it was caught on tape. The collection of events was mailed to Frank Broyals then mailed to USC asking for an apolygy in which they never got a reply.
There's a certain level of sportmanship that needs to be maintained. USC failed. There is also a certain level of respect and sincere apolygy that should be given. USC failed that as well. They didn't say a word.
And I know it looks like I am whining, but I am not. I'm just replying with detail to the subject. And honestly it really don't piss me off that much. But SEC fans are lit as about this, especially Auburn and Arkansas.
It's a lot deeper than stealing a flag.
