Embarrassment is a very personal perspective that isn't applicable to everyone... while you might have been embarrassed, I was glad and proud to see us not fold up like an apologetic #%**+? and push backQuote:

If the news cycle doesn't shift in the next 24 hours or so I say someone from our admin, or Leach, just issue a simple statement and a question "MSU does not condone fighting and will discipline internally any player fighting who was not defending themselves. Meanwhile, we ask the media to clarify why they call for our student athletes to lose their scholarships or be arrested, while never suggesting equal punitive action for professional baseball and hockey players who often fight during and after contests."
Did Herbie get emotional and start to have crocodile tears ?? he did it earlier this year..
and I said it in another thread ... Leach was a media darling and sound byte machine for anyone and everyone until about 2016....
What else do we expect from the hyper Covid media world we now live. I'm not even sure you can call it a fight. Dude got pads and helmet on. No one could even get hurt with this unless you are dumb enough to take your helmet off.
At this point, we should issue a statement and push back on ESPN for their crap. Although I think this all goes away after tonight. They are just pimping a story delaying for the big games tonight.
You know how many times Herbstreit would have mentioned the Armed Forces Bowl if there wasn't a scuffle? Zero. He overvalues himself way too much to comment on some small bowl game. **** him.
Also, Tim Brando referred to "defenseless" players in his Twitter diatribe about the scuffle. How are people wearing helmets and pads while swinging fists considered defenseless? I know Brando is an Ole Miss homer but what a ***** thing to say.
The Tulsa players weren?t on our side. OurQuote:

trumpist?
Bullshit..mob behavior has been extant since the dawn of history...has nothing to do with covering somebody's back..smh
Herbie's father played for and Herbie grew up cheering for a coach, A COACH, who threw punches at sportswriters and opposing players and excused massacres in Vietnam! F**K that hypocritical piece of shit!
Herbie ain't welcome in Starkvegas in my opinion. That was total trash putdown of MSU for no reason. You always have a few players on every team that can have bad behavior. He trashed our whole program, University, leadership, our young men, everything.
What did y'all expect? Leach is not liked by the vast majority of the media. He has his groupies but most can't stand him. This is what we hired, get used to it.
I am telling you no one out side of ESPN, media and the two fan bases care. So many fights break out during athletic events people are just numb to it. They just don't give a shit. Ya'll worry too much. I have 1000's of co workers who I trained in 12 different states that would be emailing me it it mattered out side Miss or the City of Tulsa.
Context that Enemy Media is not factoring:
Tulsa is the 2nd most penalized team in the Nation by yards (82 yards per game)
Last year, Tulsa was the 3rd most penalized

I feel more like I do now than I did when I got here.
It was his lame assed response to the incident that sucks...acted like it was nothing...that doesn't cut in today's world. You're right...this is what we hired.
You're upset with Leach?Quote:
