Big Ten fines Ohio State and Illinois for the fight

[Lockup]

per 1460....tressel, zook, osu and illinois all fined 10k for failure to control teams...no suspensions

That is cool. Personally had they suspended anybody from OSU I would like to have seen them do the same thing to Illnois for jumping on the O at midfield (which is what I heard started it). I think those actions are complete crap and personally think you deserve to get punched if you do it. I was not happy to hear Ill did it nor was I happy when Oregon pulled that sledge hammer out and pounded on the M at tsun. Teams need to knock the bullshit off. If you go into somebodies house and beat them bravo to you. Take your win and get the fuck out.

I think the Bucks reacted very appropriately. You don't let an opposing team do that to your field.

Uh, you also aren't supposed to let them beat you during the game, breaking your streak, your undefeated season, and ruining your waltz into the NC game. Them beating our guys on the field was more disrespectful than any jumping on a logo could ever be.

If our players had enough energy to run out there and throw punches then they didn't leave it all on the field and they should be ashamed. Save it for the game next year or the game this weekend.

Go Bucks and :scum4:

bullshit. stop them before the clock runs out and they won't do it to your field.

while this is the easy answer for this it does not always happen that way. Sometimes they are just better sometimes you don't play your best. Either way there should be no place for it in football. There is something to be said for winning with class.

However as was pointed out it would have been nice to see them put that much effort into the game as they did after it. Either way I can't blame them sometimes it just isn't your day and for somebody to rub it in is even worse. As the old saying goes "Act like you've been there before"

I know this makes you rest easier -

The best thing, no pre-game deflating spin from TSUN about not facing the Buckeyes at full strength.

So you guys are claiming that our players didn't try and stop them on the field? Obviously it was the Illini's night and they won for a reason. There was, however, NO reason for them to jump & and down in the middle of the field on the O. Have some class and go back to your home field with the W. I have no tolerance for opposing players & teams disrespecting a team that you just beat, especially by jumping up and down in the middle of the field, KNOWING that the home team is going to react. Coaches need to get control of their players and keep them in check. Teams aren't going to win EVERY game EVERY year. Losses happen, whether teams are playing on the road or at home.

Looks like there are no suspensions.

That's a legit story. It had a potential affect on The Game.

The news is in, and the thread is closed.
