    Also, what father watches this happen and doesn’t get into a fight? Which would mean security and certainly cell phone video. I’d be shocked if any father wouldn’t do that for their child. 

    It would be tough to stop that natural reaction, but going to jail and potentially losing a job isn’t great for your family. You can’t just fight people in this era. I don’t agree with it, but getting into a fight for any reason is very risky. We don’t just let things go these days, everything has the potential to become a giant mess.

    Right, the family really asked for it 😂

    My niece has attended a ton of games. I know everyone has different parenting styles, but they aren’t hearing anything in that stadium they don’t on the bus. I think some people are very naive. I’m not concerned about hearing cuss words and the like, injuries shouldn’t be expected though. It might have been an accident, but it’s still terrible. I love this team, but our stadium does have some knucklehead twenty something lightweight drinkers who can be quite abrasive.

  3. I’m just a football guy at this point. I like other sports, but something about the pro versions don’t appeal to me. I’ve noticed a lot of laziness in sports that have long seasons. You’re aren’t getting much effort until playoff time. The NBA, NHL, and MLB used to have a little intensity during the regular season. A mid winter NBA game looks like practice now.

    To me it almost feels like he is out to prove he is "tough."  The Lou Holtz thing almost broke him, because he is not on a mission to show everyone how tough they are.  He seems like an insecure little kid that has to do something when someone said they shouldn't.  

     

    Day is a great offensive coach, but he can't get out of his own way.  Play to your strengths, which is "finesse" football.  Instead he seems to try to play smashmouth football against a legitimate smashmouth team, and that doesn't work.

    The emphasis on being the tough guy has long been my issue with the Big Ten conference. I always preferred watching Big 12, PAC 10/12 football for this reason. I found the addition of the west coast teams intriguing to counter this in the Big Ten. It’s great that a team like Oregon introduces a new style to that conference. I think it’s much needed.
     

    The Big Ten supplies the NFL with exceptional offensive skill players, particularly many great receivers, but they aren’t always fully utilized in smash mouth Big Ten games. Ohio State historically seemed at their best when forced to open up the offense against high scoring SEC/Clemson opposition in bowl games. The conference matchups against Penn State and Michigan has been caveman football for years.
