:lol: Okay, this exact same scene played out in a snowball riot in on 15th Ave Cbus in around '92 or '94 or something. Execept there were maybe 100 more people.

It was one of the funniest things I witnessed in college. Eventually so many people were out throwing snowballs that the cops slowly swept up 15th and everyone went home.

Seriously though, the one guy who decided to stop his car and get out and yell at over 100 student wielding snowballs had to be the biggest idiot on the planet. And I don't regret being one of 100+ who pelted him. :lol:

The smart drivers just rolled on through and got tagged with a few harmless snowballs. But the tough guy who stops and gets out to shake his fist? :lol:

In this case, the students stand in front of the car, forcing him to stop.
Then come up from behind and put all the snow from the roof on the windshield. That's often more than the wipers can handle.
I suppose you could argue the drivers should've wiped the snow off the top, but the entire situation is a punk move. Especially the dipshit dancing in front of the car. I'd have ran the punk over.

That guy in the car...fuck him. What a prick. I'm sure he's a pediatric surgeon who was on his way to save lives, but he could've just acted like an adult and stayed put.

Having lived within 50 miles of the Oregon campus I can assure you that the snow you see and the snowballs being thrown are little more than slush balls - you don't get "powder" at that elevation. In fact you seldom get snow. So let's get over the idea that these kids are throwing soft, fluffy, snowballs.

How adults - very few people get into college at 17, so they are adults - who stop traffic, dump snow on windshields, throw snow into a car and then pelt the driver -regardless of his age- are "innocent" and the victim, who has to remove his glasses because he was hit in the face with snow, is a prick, is beyond my comprehension.

If students want to create a social contract amongst themselves to have a snowball fight, that's one issue. To attack someone who hasn't chosen to be a part of that social contract is another.

Finally, I stopped more than one snowball fight as a high school teacher. The reason is simple, it is a safety issue. I've also been witness to times when the faculty didn't stop the fight in time. Mob mentality is a reality, matters do escalate, windows do get broken, Kids do get hurt, parents, lawyers and insurance companies do get involved.

Finally, the elitist prick did not press charges, realizing that the innocent had just gotten carried away.

I watched the video. Despite your anecdotal evidence, it was clearly snow. Not ice, not sleet nor slush.

He's a prick because he's a professor who I assume knows it's near finals time and clearly saw the students were just having some fun in the snow. Had he stayed inside his car and not honked his horn like an asshole, he would have been on his way in another thirty seconds.

He's no more a victim than anyone else that's been hit by a snowball in human history.

Like I've said, the young adults took it too far. But getting out of your car when they're already throwing snowballs was abundantly stupid. Had he not honked and then jumped out of his car, that would have been the end of it.

I understand both aspects of the situation. I can find reason for both sides to be at no fault. But was there any alleged rape involved? And if there was, did my weather effect how my job was today while watching the last movie I saw?

Good luck with that one mods, elitist pricks.

When I was a relatively new marksmanship instructor I was standing behind the ready line having a discussion with one of the Drill Instructors for the platoon whose recruits I had been training all week. Somehow the discussion worked it's way onto the topic of discipline. The Drill Instructor told me he had the perfection solution for keeping the dinks in line. "Oh, what's that?" I asked, genuinely curious.

"When the first recruit fucks up, no matter how minor or trivial his mistake is, you immediately call a platoon formation. You call the offending party out in front to face the platoon. You then announce what his infraction was, and immediately execute him.

You'll never have a another problem from that group of recruits."

I pondered this idea for a moment before giving a suitably non-commital grunt.

As the years have passed I've grown to appreciate the wisdom of that solution.

If the professor in the video had the power to execute the jackanape in front of his vehicle, Oregon University would never again have an issue with students attacking vehicles with snowballs.

He's leaving the head coaching position of a major university to come be the offensive coordinator? Was he in trouble at UCLA?

There was speculation late in the 2023 season UCLA might move on from Kelly, but the school stood pat after an 8-5 season.

I don't think he was in NCAA violation trouble; but he was on the "proverbial' coaches" hot seat. Anyway if UCLA had fired him after the 2023 season he'd get $4.7M; since he left, he owes them $1.5M. UCLA made out like a bandit here to the tune of $6.2M........ :lol:

Dillon Gabriel uses NIL earnings to gift high school alma mater new uniforms at 'I'm Inspired' event​

Dillon Gabriel individually emailed, texted and called sports journalists to raise awareness for his I'm Inspired event on Friday at Mililani High School.​

Dillon Gabriel is reaching out personally because it's that important to him.

The Oregon starting quarterback has a great team around him – his NIL manager Steven Smith was instrumental in getting the event together – but he is also individually emailing, texting and calling sports journalists to raise awareness for his free I'm Inspired event on Friday at Mililani High School, his alma mater, where he is using his Name, Image and Likeness money to donate new uniforms to the team. It is refreshing and indicative of the new era college sports is in when a starting college quarterback can directly reach out to anyone and everyone he wants to make his voice heard.

"I wanted people to hear my story," Gabriel told 247Sports. "I wanted people to hear from my mouth that this is important. Mililani High School, my experience there was probably the most difficult time of my life in terms of myself and creating a foundation of how I want to be in my life but also how I conducted myself in football. It set me up for success and I'm grateful for that place so I want to pay it forward to all these younger athletes."

Gabriel has teamed up with major brands like Nike, VICIS, Riddell and Raising Cane's to make Friday's event happen. There has already been a buzz about the event back in Gabriel's Hawaiian hometown of Honolulu and he's hopeful that his giving back can help inspire the next generation of athletes coming out of Mililani High School. In his first spring at Oregon, the former Oklahoma and Central Florida quarterback has seen firsthand how beneficial even a small thing like nice new uniforms can have on a player's confidence.

"Look good, feel good, play good," Gabriel explained. "You're able to inspire them because they are proud of the product they put on the field and how they look while doing it. Who knows if one uniform can inspire someone to want to play sports that could change their life and get them to the next level to get their college paid for and set themselves up for success."
