Brawl

[Dawgsfanalongtime77]

That was a total embarrassment to anyone associated with the program. I mean really?

[Lord McBuckethead]

Yep. That sucked. Thanks guys for being a bunch of dumbasses.

[ShotgunDawg]

That was a total embarrassment to anyone associated with the program. I mean really?

Tulsa started it. Our guys stood up for each other.

[Jack Lambert]

Tulsa started it. Our guys stood up for each other.

Yes that is the truth. Tulsa got their panties up their crack.

[BrunswickDawg]

Tulsa started it. Our guys stood up for each other.

Tulsa started their shit pre-game and kept it up all day. I hate scenes like that because we typically get the blame - but 17’em, we took all we could. Especially when they have a coach starting it.

[Quaoarsking]

Glad Leach is taking up for the team in the interview. Not that I expected otherwise of course.

[ShotgunDawg]

Tulsa started their shit pre-game and kept it up all day. I hate scenes like that because we typically get the blame - but 17’em, we took all we could. Especially when they have a coach starting it.

Yeah. It’ll build team unity. They’re all in it together.

[Jack Lambert]

I agree totally but Leach better Heath on a air plane to Starkville ASAP.

[Dawgology]

It’s a football team fighting on the sideline. Get down off your high horse lmao!!!

[Dawgsfanalongtime77]

Tulsa started it. Our guys stood up for each other.

Standing up is one thing but kicking a player in the head and then running off is just pathetic. The refs let it build the entire game.

[ShotgunDawg]

Totally agree

[ShotgunDawg]

True. There are some bad moments but MSU didn’t start it. 18-22 year olds get passionate

[Maroonthirteen]

Someone needs to have a talk to Payton.

Dude, put your helmet on the ground and walk into a pile? Cmon man.

[Matt3467]

Leach said it's a football game. "Nobody is going to tear cloth over it." Lol love Leach.

[Maroonthirteen]

This espn anchor dude with the black hair is about to cry over it.

[BrunswickDawg]

Standing up is one thing but kicking a player in the head and then running off is just pathetic. The refs let it build the entire game.

That guy then got up and chased other players. I don’t even think Heath made contact

[R2Dawg]

That was a total embarrassment to anyone associated with the program. I mean really?

Tulsa been trying to pick a fight the whole game. While I don't like us losing our cool, at the end of the day if the authorities (refs in the game) don't get control of the situation, then that is what you get.

[Goldendawg]

Didn't see it. but knew it was coming. Tulsa dirtiest team I've seen in a while and terrible refs let it go throughout the game. Our players fell right into it. Errol was completely undisciplined toward the end of the game. After he knocked out the Tulsa player on the onsides kick, he just stood over him taunting him. He wasn't even concerned on who got the ball.

[VandelayIndustries]

This espn anchor dude with the black hair is about to cry over it.

That guy was embarrassing

[R2Dawg]

Leach said it's a football game. "Nobody is going to tear cloth over it." Lol love Leach.

I agree that is one thing I like about Leach. He don't play the media narrative BS.

[Saltydog]

Trevor Matich is a p***y. Yeah, it shouldn't have happened but it's football. I've seen a LOT worse in the NBA and MLB. The guy that gets the shit kicked out of him always want to piss and moan and cry. Just because you get your ass kicked doesn't mean you didn't do anything.

[Jack Lambert]

Clay Matvick is a p***y. Yeah, it shouldn't have happened but it's football. I've seen a LOT worse in the NBA and MLB. The guy that gets the shit kicked out of him always want to piss and moan and cry. Just because you get your ass kicked doesn't mean you didn't do anything.

Every NHL.

[maroonmania]

Tulsa started it. Our guys stood up for each other.

There was a LOT of stuff going on before then but Brule jumped over and swung at someone which started the all out brawl.

[Dawgsfanalongtime77]

For two programs that had never met on the field, apparently I missed the memo on what caused this back and forth for an entire game. Pretty unusual

[Commercecomet24]

There was a LOT of stuff going on before then but Brule jumped over and swung at someone which started the all out brawl.

There coach shoved one of our players in the face just before Brule swung. Even Matich said it

[Goldendawg]

We heard the whole game how great this minor league conference is from the announcers. Dirtiest teams I've ever watched play us were BYU and now Tulsa. Coincidence? What bush league conference were the "refs" from? You could see this coming the entire game. I sure Tulsa was also teed losing to a "lowly" 3-7 SEC team when they were #24, a joke and played in their conference "championship game"! Hail State!

100% agree with everything you said! HAILSTATE!

[Saltydog]

Tulsa probably thought they should've got a better draw other than a SEC team with only 3 wins and they were chirpy from the get go. I think they had more to prove and certainly more to lose than we did.

[TNDawg35]

The Tulsa player he knocked the **** out ran his mouth all game. I would be more passed off if our ****ing TEAM CAPTAIN didn?t do it... **** Tulsa.

[Mimi's Babies]

This fight is on the REFs for not stopping the crap talk during the game and then TULSA Coach for throwing that punch..... WOW!!! How classy Tulsa. Tulsa posted crap all week about playing MSU...

Classy.... was Leach's post game fight..... We love him....

[Commercecomet24]

It appears to me Tulsa had a case of little man syndrome or yappy dog syndrome. Talk big and act tough until you get whipped.

[Jack Lambert]

100% agree with everything you said! HAILSTATE!

Their conference is now 0-3 in bowl games. i suspect their champions will get beat as well.

[shoeless joe]

It was definitely embarrassing. ESPN will definitely make it out to be way more than they should. They won?t miss an opportunity to rip a southern team, especially from Mississippi. Of course it?s not as bad as they?re going to make it seem.

That being said, Malik heath needs to be gone. Absolutely nothing excuses what he did. I need to watch the video again but it looked like brule got the original brawl started but someone said he was reacted to a coach pushing our guy. Don?t know about any of that but if Malik Heath continues to be a part of the university it will speak very poorly on everything I felt we as a school stood for.

Again, the general brawl itself was just something that happens in sport...Heath?s actions are those of a coward that should not represent us any longer.

[Cooterpoot]

Heath got punched by the guy he stomped. I stand with Heath!

Please watch the fight again... Tulsa Coach involved.... hum....

[BeardoMSU]

Heath got punched by the guy he stomped. I stand with Heath!

I mean, he kicked a guy wearing a helmet, so it's not really a big deal. His tuck-tail and run was a bit of a bitch move, though, lol.

Suspend him 1 game and move the **** on.

[Mimi's Babies]

Heath played "hit & run" at least 2 times in the brawl, BUT, he did not tweak his hamstring either time!***

[Mimi's Babies]

For two programs that had never met on the field, apparently I missed the memo on what caused this back and forth for an entire game. Pretty unusual

Crap talk over social media all week.... Typical crap... Tulsa is said to be a nasty playing team to begin with. I fault the refs for not getting a handle on the mess at the beginning of the game.

Absolutely agree. The optics of it look bad but it wasn't like he beheaded the guy or even hurt him. Actually that guy shoved one of our players (#9 wearing sweats) down.

[Todd4State]

I mean, he kicked a guy wearing a helmet, so it's not really a big deal. His tuck-tail and run was a bit of a bitch move, though, lol.

This is pretty much my thought. I don't even think I would suspend him though. It's not he was the only one fighting bitch move or not.

Those were Big 10 officials as well. They really know how to control the game. 👎👎

Saw Drowning Pool attempt to warm up for KISS at the Pyramid in '96. Virtually no cared enough to even go in to watch and listen to them. Strange pick for warm up. They got more teed off at lack of appreciation than Tulsa!

[Bdawg]

What I was thinking. Thought he kicked at him. Not sure though

[mparkerfd20]

Surveying social media we have some of the dumbest fans in the world. Geesh I'm more embarrassed of them than I am a fight.

[msbulldog]

That was a total embarrassment to anyone associated with the program. I mean really?

I'm sorry you're so embarrassed, Tulsa started it in the pre-game, kept it up all during the game and started the crap after the game, if you were looking. And yes I'm very associated with the program and the University and proud we won the game and the fight.

[Bdawg]

This espn anchor dude with the black hair is about to cry over it.

Just like Bart G just said, "Some people, the most Confrontational thing they have competed in was a heated game of scrabble, but they want to comment on a football game and how awful the brawl is ( paraphrasing)." Pretty funny.

[Saltydog]

I was there for that concert but can't remember a whole lot.......I just know I was there.......

Yep. D Day on LSU guy was worse IMO.

Jack, I just watched a horrible, disgusting, brutal brawl at least 10 times and now you try to post an age restricted clip! Oh the horror in today's PC world!****** Hail State!

Yep

C'mon man, D Day never did that on purpose! My nephew was one of his tutors back in the day and will back me up on his kindly character as a student athlete!****

Mimi Big E changed his oil for him I'm sure he would have preferred a penalty.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Heath got punched by the guy he stomped. I stand with Heath!

Agreed. Heath was deliberately target by the guy he ended up kicking. The guy was in full pads including his helmet. The kick was unfortunate, buy equal in my opinion to the guy that actually started that particular part of the scuffle.

[shoeless joe]

Good to know you support cancel culture.

Well...if you knew me you?d know how off you are.

I deal with young athletes every day of my life. All these excuses being made about how the refs are to blame and the other coach or the other team is to blame...they?re doin just that, making excuses. Excuses made are reasons why young people think that any out of order moment is an excuse to lose your mind and do thing a that you will later claim aren?t the ?real you? and don?t represent what you stand for. Actions have consequences, and the young athletes that learn that early on are the most successful in life.

I clearly said that the brawl itself was just something that happens in sports. His personal actions were those of a coward who should not represent us. The fact that he was representing us at the time of his actions make it a huge deal IMO. Most folks won?t say ?look at that dumbass? they?ll say, ?what a trash university?.

[Fred Garvin]

We can rationalize all we want about why we threw punches, but when the game highlights spend more time on the brawl than they do the game, it's a bad look for Mississippi State.

[NCMSTFAN]

We can rationalize all we want about why we threw punches, but when the game highlights spend more time on the brawl than they do the game, it's a bad look for Mississippi State.

Every football team at some point has had a fight, it happens in contact sports. Its not a bad look for our program, Im not saying it looks good either but people will forget about this by next week.

[Dogbone]

Mississippi state hasn't been in a fight all year. This was 100% provoked by Tulsa. Before game, during the game and after the game.

[bluelightstar]

We can rationalize all we want about why we threw punches, but when the game highlights spend more time on the brawl than they do the game, it's a bad look for Mississippi State.

[LC Dawg]

Last year we were making headlines for punching our own players so I consider this progress.

[SailingDawg]

It appears to me Tulsa had a case of little man syndrome or yappy dog syndrome. Talk big and act tough until you get whipped.

Someone may have said this already, but at the beginning of the game Matt Wyatt said Tulsa had a guy who talked the whole game. Matt said he was tired of stuff like that. Probably the Tulsa #7 who was getting his ass kicked then was helped off the field.

[Mobile Bay]

This won't be a story tomorrow

It's already one on al.com, which is the Mobile, Birmingham, and Huntsville, Alabama newspapers.

[Ari Gold]

The main blame for the fight needs to go to one group..
The Officials !! All the bullshit that was going on, apparently most of it by Tulsa could have been handled on the field by them..
It was one of the worse officiated games of the year..
it was pathetic..

One in particular was bad .. She had no business being out there..

And I’m glad this is the only time in the history of football a brawl has broken out..

I’m just waiting for our compliance department to start suspending players and self impose a post season ban for 2021..

[R2Dawg]

Who gives a pirates ass.... all I know is Leach is 1-0 In bowl games while Mississippi State head coach...

Hah, Moorhead was 2-0 in egg bowl so not sure how much that matters but I'll take it just like 11 straight bowl games.

Agree. Almost no one is talking about that. They allowed the game to be played out of hand and never put Tulsa's unsportsmanlike play in check all day. Refs should have keep teams separated the way they called the game.

[Jack Lambert]

This won't be a story tomorrow

Out side the two fan base and the ESPN guys who have to act like they care nobody will give a shit.

If your proud of a bench clearing brawl in the armed forces bowl of all places then that?s cool. I did watch the game. Tulsa caused a lot of the issues but just take the high road. Already beat them on the scoreboard.

Not proud the brawl happened but when you spent the last four hours being on the receiving end of dirty play and taunts I am proud when you stand up for yourself and kick the ever loving shit out of the little cocksuckers that tried to pretend they were the swinging dick in the locker room.

[Ari Gold]

If your proud of a bench clearing brawl in the armed forces bowl of all places then that?s cool. I did watch the game. Tulsa caused a lot of the issues but just take the high road. Already beat them on the scoreboard.

During the game We punched them in the ****ing mouth and they didn’t like it..

And unless you were on the field at that time or during the game no one has any idea what went wrong, or what was said to cause this shit..
If Leach has no issue with it , then it’s a non issue and over and done with..

[BiscuitEater]

The entire officiating crew should be fired on the spot. They lost complete control of the game BEFORE kickoff. The bizarre calls didn't help one bit!

[Ari Gold]

Memo to officials in 2021..

If 2 teams have a scuffle before the game and you can tell it’s going to be a little heated..
before the opening kick.. call unsportsmanlike penalties on both teams...
The. If any player gets one during the game it’s off to the showers..

If you rewatch the game you'll Tulsa coaches and players yelling and screaming at our players from the sideline the whole game. Spivey flipped one of them off. They went over the top trying to intimidate us or something I guess. The officials seemed oblivious to the vitriol coming from their sidelines on top of all the cheap shots they took on our players. Punkish behavior from their whole program, coaches and players

I wonder if Keenum thinks this way?

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

NO one will give a shit. Media has to act like they care.

100%. It's a sport where grown men lift weights so they can hit and shove each other harder. They wear armor to keep from dying. Physicality and violence are THE defining features of Football, matched only by Rugby.

Nobody gives a shit if emotions run high. Hell, nobody really cares when baseball players clear the bench after batter gets hit, and that's older players in a non-contact sport.

Most damaging thing of this is Heath looking like a little bitch by running away instead of staying to fight. What a coward

[NCDawg]

There was a LOT of stuff going on before then but Brule jumped over and swung at someone which started the all out brawl.

That's what I saw also. I really didn't like how Thompson cold cocked that guy on the onsides kick and stood over him taunting him.

[defiantdog]

Seems like a lot of blame being pushed on MSU and not Tulsa for some reason

[Ari Gold]

And in typical MSU PR fashion we won’t push back
And isnt it strange that Leach was media Gold up into about 2016... hmmmmm wonder why

Watch the “ fight “ from start to finish... it wasn’t even that big a deal...

[R2Dawg]

If you rewatch the game you'll Tulsa coaches and players yelling and screaming at our players from the sideline the whole game. Spivey flipped one of them off. They went over the top trying to intimidate us or something I guess. The officials seemed oblivious to the vitriol coming from their sidelines on top of all the cheap shots they took on our players. Punkish behavior from their whole program, coaches and players

Yep and Errol decleating the Tulsa guy in front of their bench at end of game really set them off. However, Errol just made a clean football play and Tulsa didn't like it.

Tulsa came in with typical little man syndrome and thought they could take out MSU as some SEC trophy to cap off their year. Not being able to do that was more than their low character could take.

[Dawgsfanalongtime77]

I haven't seen any MSU fan say they are PROUD of what happened.

The post I replied too said they were proud to win the game and win the fight. Maybe I?m crazy.

Yep we see it the same way.

Yip!

[Bdawg]

I'm kind of curious as to what you are referring to......something happened in 2016?

I believe he's saying think political.

[gravedigger]

I wonder if Keenum thinks this way?

He does not, I can assure you. But he understands its a football game. Wish our fans did.

[Todd4State]

Indeed. We may get a few recruits with the publicity.

That's the hilarious thing about all of this.

The media is trying to embarrass us and it just seems like this has polarized our team and fan base and we look badass. Except for maybe Malik Heath.

[Todd4State]

I'm not proud of the incident.

But based on the details I'm proud that we stood up for ourselves. Sometimes you just have to stand up to assholes and we did. It's not like MSU started it. And to me an assistant coach hitting a player is worse than what Heath did which is getting too much attention and is overblown. It's not like the guy he kicked wasn't hitting him in the head or anything.

And that's my thing- where are the stories about the Tulsa assistant hitting our guy?

[Todd4State]

The main blame for the fight needs to go to one group..
The Officials !! All the bullshit that was going on, apparently most of it by Tulsa could have been handled on the field by them..
It was one of the worse officiated games of the year..
it was pathetic..

One in particular was bad .. She had no business being out there..

And I?m glad this is the only time in the history of football a brawl has broken out..

I?m just waiting for our compliance department to start suspending players and self impose a post season ban for 2021..

Yep. And if we're punished those clowns need to be punished too. How about the dumb bitch official that threw a flag on us for complaining about a play that they overturned? LOL.

You are correct.

[FISHDAWG]

Standing up is one thing but kicking a player in the head and then running off is just pathetic. The refs let it build the entire game.

Conrad Dobler made a really good living doing it for the Saints back in the day

[FISHDAWG]

C'mon man, D Day never did that on purpose! My nephew was one of his tutors back in the day and will back me up on his kindly character as a student athlete!****

Lol ... I love me some Dillon Day and the attitude he played with

Yes sir!

Call me twisted but I loved it ... understood it ... condoned it ... and would be pissed if we allowed those little bitches to go unchecked- it I guess that's just the football player in me

[Percho]

Well said Fish

Yep. And us old baseball players love it too. Police your shit on the field. You hit us, you're gonna get hit back.

Right on!!!

That was impressive. Almost as impressive as his pick six.

No doubt. Most competitors want to play for someone that's badass unlike Tulsa.


This guy is hilarious. His MLB fight videos are great.

Interesting to see an unbiased take as well. Kind of shows how the media shapes things. Or tries to.

Yep. It's called sports.

A little towel whip never hurt anyone unless you're naked then you'll have a bruise for 48 hours. No harm no foul.

Maybe I should have clarified that I meant to respond to the original post ... I wasn't referring to a towel whip - I was referring to the roughhousing... a towel whip is akin to a walk in the park... Erroll Thompson bringing the wood is more along the line of what I meant

[The Federalist Engineer]

That was a total embarrassment to anyone associated with the program. I mean really?

Not much embarrassment - losing to Tulsa would be embarrassing

Game was won, business concluded with teachable moments

Other than us, not a lot of Viewers for the Armed Service Bowl

I'm with you. I just thought the towel whip was the funniest part of the situation.

[Dawgpile]

There coach shoved one of our players in the face just before Brule swung. Even Matich said it

The first 20 seconds of this video precede what most of the media shows on their condemnations of State. Something obviously transpired prior to Brule's swing and I'd assume that's it.
