whoa. dude came in heavy with the elbow there...
Be interesting to see who/ how many may be kicked out of their schools over this.
It was as the announcers said "chippy" all game, with a taunting penalty or two, etc.. Then, after the game, announcer's say Memphis went over towards the BYU bench (not that that justifies fighting on EITHER side).
Assume players on the teams have never come close to playing each other- interesting there was so much emotion, seemingly from the opening kickoff.

Yeah that got ugly after it was over. I hope these guys realize all those cheap shots and group attacks would cost them severely in the world off the field. So hopefully they get those suspensions and realize how lucky they are and that it happened in a game environment. I might be wrong but no college or pro athlete has faced major charges for field of play antics in the US.
Wow. So glad CU is not involved in something like that. Would be completely embarrassing as an alumni.
If I had my way that punk-ass #12 for BYU would never set foot on a CFB field again. Cold cocks a Memphis guy from behind while the guy's coach is restraining him.
I don't think either actually served time but both plead guilty to assault

Everybody gets in fights with Miami. Doesn't count.
Just was about to post that, "To be fair - who didn't get into a fight with Miami in the early 90's?"
Yeah- It will be interesting to see how they treat that (and any other thing that comes out for any of the other players once the video is analyzed) vs. their bball player who got suspended for the year for pre-marital sex.
Damn that was ugly. #12 is a punk. Looked like somebody had already been working him.
Classy dude, jump in with the sucker punch then run away from the action.
We used to play BYU in rugby all the time and they were by far the dirtiest team that we played. Good ol' Mormon boys have some deep seated aggression I guess.

Back in the old WAC days the entire league was known for marginal late hits, cheap shots, etc.. Still see a lot of that in the MWC. Take BYU out of the league but the culture hasn't changed much.

Not only that, it was over 20 years ago. And yes, I was embarrassed about it at the time.
Interesting that San Diego State normally doesn't draw flies for their home games, the Chargers don't have great attendance either. Doesn't seem like a football oriented city.
Then they manage to host two bowl games that normally outdraw the level of the teams involved. They added the Poinsiettia Bowl a few years ago with a low end MWC team vs. who ever they can get and it draws pretty well and usually turns out to be a decent game. This year they hit the jackpot because they have SDSU with all their normal home fans plus some and Navy which travels well anywhere but especially in a place with a huge Navy and Marine presence.
Later they will have the Holiday Bowl which always seems to draw a big crowd for a second level bowl and also is often one of the more entertaining bowls.
Of course part of it might be that generally speaking the weather in San Diego this time of year is going to be much nicer than almost any place the participating teams are coming from and San Diego is a great city to visit for much more than just a bowl game.
