Unfortunately, a lot of students are too immature to do something like that. I know when I was in college I wouldn't have been throwing anything, but I doubt I would have stepped in or said anything to stop it. I'd try to stop it today, though.

An incredible display of Douchebaggery by PSU students

This kind of what I'm getting at, oranges=okay marshmallows=bad I understand the meaning of the oranges, but a half pound orange is a helluva lot more dangerous than some marshmallow that can barely be thrown more than 20 yards.
And that is the real tragedy of the situation. What kind of asshole throws away beer?:sad2:

Unless of course you stuff the marshmallows in nails, then thats a different story:smile2:
all good points
Not only that but in the video I didn't see one grandma pushed down a flight of stairs. Those pussies at Penn State are amatures!...:smile2:
Seriously, this kinda stuff takes all the fun out of CFB for me. I agree with Pez, visiting fans should expect some level of good natured razzing but there needs to be respect as well.

Bottom line - this **** is inexcusable and I hope these a-holes are called out.
But it is always good to avoid the fraternities in general even if you are looking for another party. At FSU walking away from the game I had a lot of yelled at me by just passing by some of the houses. Luckily they weren't throwing crap.
Regardless, you tend to get that "I'm tough when there are a lot of my brothers around" mentality that leads to stupid **** like this. I hated that mentality, and a group of us actually made one of our brothers back up his **** once for doing something stupid - he learned his lesson.

Oh, I remember the infamous orange chuckings at the CU vs NU tie game in the 5 degree weather in '91. But my memories of that night were more of trying to stay warm in that blasted cold.
I was actually a fan of the marshmallow fights at halftime. It was pretty much harmless and it kept the students in the stadium at halftime, rather than leaving to go get more booze. I thought it was hilarious to look over at the student section and see streams of white orbs going in every direction.
That goes back to the days of cup fights. Harmless frivolity in the student section. We used to throw cups at each other all the time. It was usually at a point in the game that was particularly boring or at halftime. They don't to cup fights anymore, either.

The cup fights were a blast. It was also fun to watch from afar...especially when inevitably that one cup with the mystery liquid was tossed up high in the air.
I remember the "Where the Buffalo Roam" strip that depicted it. Pretty funny.

I absolutely agree. It always astonishes me when Fusker fans cite the old marshmallow war as a reason that CU fans are supposed to be so horrible.
"BUT I HAD MARSHMALLOWS THROWN AT ME!"
"Really now, are you that big of a pussy? Care to complain about the wadded up tissue paper some Jayhawks fans threw at you, or would you rather whine about the bag of feathers that hit your wife when you were in Columbia?"

I agree with you that age has a lot to do with it. That is why I push my kids hard to stop bullies (at their age) now so that hopefully they have the right mindset and courage to stop assholes when they are in high school/college. I was in the Army before college and was older than most students, so I can't really say for sure what I would have done in that situation with peers of the same age.
Sorry if this was already posted, but I when thru the thread quickly.
According to the local rag, the police cited the frat and are considering charges against the kid from Pitt. http://www.centredaily.com/news/local/story/248085.html
I wonder if the school will take any action?

know what the difference is between the PSU fans and the OSU fans are?
PSU fans are from Pennsylvania and OSU fans are from Ohio. That's it. Hardly enough of a crime to deserve this kind of treatment.

You're forgetting that OSU's fans are paid to become Buckeyes, whereas Penn State fans aren't.
Wait... my mistake, that's what happens with the PLAYERS, not the fans. Seriously, my bad.

amen
most of the problems i've ever heard of stemmed from some loudmouth who was acting obnoxious around some already rowdy fans.
and these guys wandered into a frat party. a frat party. come on what did you expect to happen?????
if you kick a dog you can't complain when you get bit.
wait a god damned minute. i am as unimpressed as you are at what happened. however it is rather dramatic saying the WHOLE student section had to be removed.
a small chunk of it was moved or otherwise kicked out. not a great day for our students, true, but not at all like you were painting it, either.

they went onto private party through a gate and it was all PS frat guys. Not a scene I would have gone into. That being said, I can't handle when people are jumped, at least it wasn't physical. Me and 3 friends got jumped at the wrong party once and it didn't end this nice. That can be some scary ****. That is dangerous on both sides. Tell me you don't wanna sock that kid.

Maybe the Pitt kid is related to some of the lacrosse players from Duke -- someone out there is protecting him from prosecution. :wink2:

Wow - the fact that the OSU "victims" were also Pikes just shows serious assholishness by the PSU Pikes. Usually, fraternity/sorority relationships would cross university boundries - at least at CU they did, IMO.

Not only that, it appears that the video was shot by the frat VP! I don't know about Penn State, but that would probably spell big trouble for the frat in Boulder.

Oh, it'd take a lot less than something like this to get a frat booted off campus in Boulder.
Phi Delt got kicked out of CU back in 2002 when one of their freshmen pledge/sober driver guys got in a rollover accident while driving some older Phi Delts around Boulder. Despite the fact that the driver was completely sober, CU saw fit to get rid of the fraternity because the PASSENGERS weren't sober, and weren't 21. Think about that, kicking a frat off campus because members of said frat were drunk, not about to die drunk, just plain drunk... seems to me that's a little like kicking a scholarship student out of college for reading a book.
I never cared much for the frat scene when I was in school, but I definitely believe frats have been treated far worse in Boulder than they've deserved to be for the past decade or so.
Says in the article that the OSU guys were at a party at the same house the night before....which TOTALLY changes my opinion on this whole matter. I bet my bottom dollar that this happened:
OSU Pike - "Man, were going to come back and visit you all again tomorrow morning before the Bucks go out and lay one on your Ass"
PSU Pike - "Great! But if you come in here wearing your gay ass red jersey's...better be ready to get punked"
OSU Pike - "Yeah right dude. Whatever, we'll see"
Roll forward to tomorrow morning
Punking ensues.
I betcha he was warned.
EDIT: But I still thing the guy from Pitt is a Bitch:thumbsup:
