Which is exactly what Cronin said.

 

Then he should have punished him like it did connect. Just like he should have punished Gates for what he did: sucker punch someone who did not see it coming. He is using the fact that "Gates was being charged" and the fact that the stomp did no damage to keep the two from being dismissed or suspended 10+ games. Gutless.

Mbodj's 6-game suspension is reasonable. Like it or not, that's a fairly stiff penalty. Could it have been 8 or 10 games? Sure. Probably should have. But 6 is acceptable, at least to me.

 

Gates' suspension is hard to justify or defend. So I won't.

Not saying what happened to Frease isn't sad or a horrible occurrence, but you would think a guy that big would be able to defend himself a little better. He was one punched then kicked on top of that, not a lot on the offensive end though.

You've obviously never been sucker punched. I don't care how big or tough you are, if someone lands a haymaker to your face then your going down in a daze. Sad part about it is that he didn't look to be trying to fight. Gates showed his character.

As most rational people expected X has determined how they will handle the situation. They did not defer to the league .

All people had to go on were statements by the coach and AD that said they would allow the league to handle it. Both said it quite clearly yesterday...

Yeah. Why would we wait to see what actually transpires.:lol: Like I said in an earlier post. I would weigh in on X once we knew what they were going to do. All of those going on about X and their lack of action were primarily trying to defer what UC was actually doing. Which was very little

All that respect Mick earned, he just threw it all away. What a complete coward. Those suspensions are a joke. Mick is a joke.

What a joke this whole thing was started by Tu Holloway. Then his post game comments, what a complete joke.

I thought Kilpatrick chimed in 1st earlier in the week on a radio broadcast.

Yes but Kilpatrick wasn't involved in the start of the fight like Holloway. Kilpatrick also didn't make statements about being a "gangsta" and "zipping them up".

You chose to ignore some of the words.

You have to ignore what he said on that radio show. I mean would you want to say ya my opponent is better than my teammates? No, you always talk up your teammates and say you play with the best group of guys out there.
