Stay Classy NIU. Player Suspended for lowering shoulder on band member.

Okay, so he was inconsiderate after the fact. Still doesn't mean he intentionally set out to hurt someone. Obviously we disagree on whether or not we, as outside observers, can without a doubt establish the motive, intent, etc. You think you have it figured out, I don't. I know you proposed the question, but I don't recall if you answered it directly. What would you like to see happen to the player?Drums of War;957570 wrote:Again I go back to my statement that if it was not intentional, then why did he not stop to check if he had injured her. I do not believe for one minute the argument that he was unaware that he had just run someone over.
Side note - in another article I read about the incident, it says the band member is a dude. True? False? Does it make a difference in how anyone views it? -

No, they are a guest of the home team. They are part of the whole atmosphere, they aren't the reason people go to the game. If they don't want run over, either move or sit in the stands and play the fight song.LJ;957576 wrote:The home team's band is there as a guest of the away team?
How are you this dense?
I'm guessing you played the cymbals in HS band. Maybe the tuba. Either way probably got picked on a lot. -

Guess that would be your HS tenure huh? You were probably just a cymbal holder. -

I didn't say you didn't play football. There was always 1 or 2 people who would march at halftime in full pads and jersey. Congrats on being that guy. What does playing in the Regional Finals have anything to do with you playing the triangle? -

TiernanIf this happened to a member of TBDBITL in the 'Shoe the punishment would have been dealt on the field. But in this case the guy clearly does this intentionally and should be given a severe suspension.

I don't know.... didn't the Ohio mascot beat the shyte out of Brutus a couple years ago? If I recall the Buckeyes escaped that one by the skin of their teeth and I don't recall any Buckeye players punishing any particular Bobcat on that day.Tiernan;957618 wrote:If this happened to a member of TBDBITL in the 'Shoe the punishment would have been dealt on the field.

that's funny, I don't quite remember it happening that way...seems to me the OU mascot ambushed Brutus and then ran away??Little Danny;957633 wrote:I don't know.... didn't the Ohio mascot beat the shyte out of Brutus a couple years ago?

I was thinking about that the other day - Brutus was on here (krazee or something like that?) and one of his posts on here ended up in some national articles on that incident. I assume the school told him to stay off here or something because I haven't seen him post ever since. Anyone know if he's here under another name?vball10set;957653 wrote:that's funny, I don't quite remember it happening that way...seems to me the OU mascot ambushed Brutus and then ran away?? -

seems to me he'd be back. but i'm not sure and don't want him getting in trouble again. i'd like to see him come back as that name once he's out of school and can post again.enigmaax;957659 wrote:I was thinking about that the other day - Brutus was on here (krazee or something like that?) and one of his posts on here ended up in some national articles on that incident.

Student was banned from having any connection with the program.
Bit of a different case, as this appeared to be pre-meditated, and there is no possibility that it could be looked at as anything else. -

My response about the Brutus/OU Mascot siutation was in response to Tiernan's post stating punishment would be administered "on the field."Drums of War;957695 wrote:http://content.usatoday.com/communities/campusrivalry/post/2010/09/ohio-university-apologizes-for-mascot-attacking-ohio-states-brutus-buckeye/1

No, that was last year and Ohio State won something like 33-0. It was two (or three) years before that that OU led going into the fourth quarter before OSU came back to win.Little Danny;957633 wrote:I don't know.... didn't the Ohio mascot beat the shyte out of Brutus a couple years ago?

SonofanumpWhat the hell is the team even entering the field of play for before the game?
I have never in all my years (I am on the field usually with the visiting teams captains) seen the visiting team enter the field of play into the home team's band. -

Actually, your analogy would be better if you were in the middle of a parking lot, 85 semis are driving at you. You want to move around to get hit or stop and have them avoid you?dwccrew;957520 wrote:I worded my statement wrong. What I mean was she STOPPED right in his path. She should have broke formation to get the hell out of the way when the team came charging out. Was it wrong for the team to come charging out while the band was performing, yes. However, don't be stupid enough to just stay in the way when they do come out. That would be like me driving in the path of a truck just because I had the signal, I'm smart enough to realize that this truck driver is doing the wrong thing, but to avoid injury, I should stay out of the way. -
