Props To The Cats, But UA Fans Aren't Ready For Prime Time.

It was an amazing game. At times played brilliantly. At other times a bona fide three-ring circus by both teams. This morning, I have a real appreciation for the fight in the Wildcats, their offensive game plan, Nick Foles' abilities and the speed of their defense. Their fans, however, clearly are not ready for the big stage.
Let's start with a sign that we saw at ESPN's Game Day set on the UA campus. A Duck QB injury checklist? Seriously? It read something like, "Kellen Clemens - check, Dennis Dixon - check, Jeremiah Masoli - you're next." What an amazing display of stupidity. To the douchebag who made and displayed that sign, I hope you're enjoying your karma breakfast this morning. That taste in your mouth is Masoli's...well, you know.
Should we be surprised about someone from UA celebrating opposing players suffering severe, career-impacting injuries? No. As Joe Giansante reminded me during the CSN rebroadcast late last night, it was UA students who taunted a visibly-crushed Dennis Dixon after a blown knee ended his Oregon career, his national title hopes and his shot at the Heisman Trophy.
'Nough said about that. Let's move on to the Arizona students pouring onto the field with more than six minutes to play. Oregon had two time outs and the Wildcats were going into a shell. It was obvious Oregon was going to get the ball back and an educated fan would understand the Ducks don't need much time to score. Nice job by the UA student section. You just looked like idiots during the national game of the week. Even worse, you collectively chose to watch the best finish in college this season from a terrible vantage point. What is it that Guinness guy says? Brilliant!
My last complaint is the worst of the bunch.
We learned this morning that Oregon senior cheerleader Katelynn Johnson was carted off the field and taken to the hospital after being hit in the head by a full bottled water. According to the Associated Press, Johnson was pelted just off the side of the field while celebrating the Ducks' dramatic win with other Oregon cheerleaders and personnel. Mike Bellotti said, "There were many things -- water and other things -- being thrown down there." Jeremiah Masoli added, "That's just unacceptable behavior from fans, whether it was an Arizona fan or any fan across the nation."
Arizona folks, Bellotti is coming after you. And you may not like Mike when he's mad. Bellotti evidently has had enough of this bullshit on Arizona's field, and vows to "address" the issue with UA administrators. For what it's worth, Bellotti and Giansante did their TV broadcast at field level due to lack of space in UA's press box area. So it's a sure bet Bellotti got a good look at UA's lack of security.
So that's my rant.
In all fairness, we all know Oregon fans have been voted the rudest in the Pac-10. I have seen a full water bottle thrown in Autzen - at a foolish Husky fan who decided to stand, with a purple cape on, in the middle of the UO student section with arms raised at halftime of a game the Huskies were trailing by two touchdowns. The thrower missed his target. Earlier this season I watched about two dozen idiot Duck fans gather in front a collection of Utah fans to chant "o-ver-rated" a good 15 minutes after the game was over.
Congratulations to Arizona fans, a handful of jerks - and hundreds of presumptuous students - have given you a nice juicy black eye. After all that transpired, off the field, it makes what happened on the field all that much sweeter. Like I said, UA fans - at least some of them - clearly aren't ready for the big stage. Enjoy your trip back to the Las Vegas Bowl after USC feeds you the rest of your bad-karma buffet.

When the frontman to your program is Mike Stoops (and the D Coordinator – Lil’ Mike), nothing would surprise me.
Its odd how easily fans follow the temperament of the Head Coach. Win. The. Day. Especially the next 11.

Stoopses
Loved the shot of the Stoopses standing on the field and jumping in unison as Masoli threw one of the late touchdown passes. Needs to be forwarded to LSUFark for some of his editing.

And if there ever was any doubt Juju is there, it was on two plays, the FG bounce through and the 4th down conversion.

They really have a crowd control issue there
Because they did that two years ago when they beat us and that is NOT acceptable, period. You should be able to keep your crowd from charging the field until after the game at least.

Well, let's not paint them all bad. But let's paint the bad for what it is - criminally bad.
As we all know, every team has its share of the “stupid” bucket. I don’t like it when the actions of an idiotic, drunken Duck fan who does something vile is ascribed to me and all Duck fans. So I’ll say that I understand that the people throwing fully loaded bottles at the field were a small slice of the Arizona fanbase.
They were, however, a criminally reprehensible slice. Throwing an object like that cause a severe concussion, take an eye out, or even be fatal. This, you ignorant idiots, is normally called “assault with a deadly weapon.” If you don’t believe that you will get twenty years tacked on to your sentence if you hit someone with a heavy object rather than your hand, you haven’t watched enough Law and Order.
So, you pathetic idiots throwing objects in stands across America, stop it. It’s not funny. It’s not acceptable. It’s not legal. It’s ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON, and you belong in jail. You ought to be getting 5-15, with no early parole.
Throwing an object at a slight girl who’s got no room to run, can’t see what’s happening, is there making no money, no glory, no Heisman or player of the week prize, no NFL millions in her future, and who is about as vulnerable as a human being can be in such an environment is dickishness of the highest order. She can’t even leave the field because it’s her damn job to stand there and entertain you idiots. It’s so cowardly I can’t begin to speak calmly about it. You’re trying to kill a girl who’s standing there in the cold doing nothing more than cheer her team and dance for your stupid benefit, you stupid male jackass. What do you do, beat up your wife or girlfriend and kids at home when things don’t go your way? You need anger management therapy.
So folks, the next time you are in the stands and see some idiot throwing anything – don’t just tell them off – call 911 and get their sorry asses arrested. BECAUSE IT’S ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON, and THEY BELONG IN JAIL.

Haven't heard of any arrests, but sounds like Bellotti might do something
But if you watched the Comcast presentation – it was rough. Bellotti and the 2 Comcast encore announcers were forced to cover the game from the ground, not a booth because of a shortage of space in the media room (still confused on that one). This was ok up till the end, when everybody on the sidelines started getting pelted. The guys kept saying, while they were trying to do the wrap up, “watch out, watch out”. It was crazy.

What an amazing game. Love this article. Can stand the behavior of Arizona’s fans. Its one thing as an uneducated fan to rush the field early. But throwing things and taunting about someone (well one of UO’s most beloved players) nearly losing their career and threatening another along with throwing things is just unacceptable and classless. But I guess the nation got to see them exactly as what they are through it all. What great revenge for 07 and for their behavior. GO DUCKS

It's also going to be on ESPNU - 8ET, 5PT - Game of the Week
For those of you, like me, who got bit by DVR end-of-program-itis, and is cursing this morning.
Because I taped it not once, but twice, and both times the recording stopped right before the final touchdown in regulation – so I missed all the overtime and the regulation end. I was forced to rewatch the game upto the early part of the fourth quarter three times, when I really wanted to see the end. I had taped the ABC airing and the Comcast replay and the same damn thing happened to me on both.

Stupid fans exist everywhere
I’ve seen Oregon students throw water bottles at UCLA male cheerleaders and I’ve seen them throw crap at Fresno’s players before. There’s always a few idiot students who give an entire fan base a bad name.
HOWEVER — last night proved that the entire Arizona student body are idiots. Rushing the field before the game is even over? That’s just hilariously idiotic. Plus, I thought I remember two years ago during an Arizona/USC basketball game some idiot Wildcat fan threw something at Tim Floyd…I could be wrong, but I thought I remember Zona’s coach going crazy on the fans and telling them to grow up. Something in the Tuscon air makes people act like douche nozzles…oh wait…that’s pretty much everyone from the state of Arizona.

I completely agree.
I spent the USC game in the student section. On the play that was a fumble-that-wasn’t-really-a-fumble that got picked up and returned by USC for a fake TD, some douchenozzle in the student section decided to throw a full cup of ice at him. What was great was that all the students looked back in collective disbelief/shock. The students, as a whole, found this to be reprehensible.
My point is this: there are bad seeds in every fan base. Lord knows we’ve got ‘em. But we don’t have enough of ’em to rain down garbage on the opposing team like that. That just shows a complete and utter lack of class.
I hope this loss tastes bitter, because they deserve it.

When I was at the UCLA game three or four years ago
some idiot threw a full bottle at one of the male cheerleaders…we all just looked at him and called him many disparaging names. The cheerleaders for Oregon even got in the act and called out the student section to knock it off, then they went over and checked on the UCLA cheerleading squad to let them know it wouldn’t happen again.

I don’t know who all here watched the replay on Comcast, but I was going through some of it this morning and I noticed that at the half that the fans were really giving it to the Ducks as they were on their way into the locker room…Darron Thomas is walking by and just smirks and points to the scoreboard…right behind him is Chip…and you can see him yelling at Thomas before he goes out of the frame. At least that’s what it looked like, and that is why I love Chip so much, he doesn’t let the outside things affect his players and he’ll remind them to keep their focus, even on their way into the locker room.

Security is also much, much better at Autzen. Let’s face it, people get emotional at football games, and they act illogically on that emotion when they’ve imbued enough alcohol.
It’s true that people should be responsible and not drink so much. But it’s also true that what SHOULDN’T happen often does, and security needs to be in place. Autzen does a good job of this. UA? Not quite.

BTW….my all-time favorite hooligan gag has to be the ol’ bringing in parts of a Vespa, assembling said motor scooter, then lighting that son of a bitch on fire and chucking it over the railing onto the fans below. Happened in the San Siro, I heard.

SIXTEEN BOTTLES THROWN IN THAT CLIP.
Average out some math here… that’s when the cops are finally over there and the team has finished celebrating on the field, one minute span, sixteen bottles…. add in variable garbage items (batteries, half empty bags of peanuts, loose change)…
I’m calculating about 370 items thrown from the victory to the locker room.
Life is hilarious.

Giansante said batteries were thrown. Things like batteries, and change, and who knows what else can’t even be seen in that video.

And on a page where we’re deriding zona fans for throwing bottles at women, it was pretty
strange to see a post advocating hitting some woman. When qrsouther told me what he was
talking about (really decently), I told him I didn’t know, and took no offense. He was nice to

Its remarkably easy
At the Oregon-ASU game there were a few glass bottles in one of the men’s rooms (near Sec. 37) which is nowhere near the student section.
And I’ll never forget the alcohol bottles lined up in the bathroom at the Rose Garden during the NCAAs this past March.
They need to improve security but I don’t blame them for this one.

Quote from the AZ blog
To the credit of someone at “Desert Swarm,” this is how the lead article ended:
>>What the hell is going on in Tucson? The reports around the web are horrible and make us look like absolute crap. What a joke! Arizona better get their act together or we will lose recruits if that is the kind of atmosphere in Tucson.<<
True, they seem more concerned about losing recruits than about giving someone a concussion, but at least they acknowledge that some things have got to change down there.

I am amused by the “ya, but Blount punched someone” comeback. I just cannot understand where this mentality comes from in our society. When I was in the Marines, we had a saying: If you are wrong, you’re wrong. Basically, if someone, no matter the rank, corrected you on something and you were in the wrong, you just said “good to go” and moved on. It’s not just this situation, it’s our society in general. I see it all the time as a manager. Someone corrects a peer on something small and that person automatically says “well you were 2 minutes late yesterday…”. WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH WHAT YOU JUST DID?
In other words…since Blount punched someone, or since Oregon was voted to have the rudest fans, it’s okay to throw batteries, water bottles, and Jack Daniels bottles at people? Also, the fans that come back with “the Duck players were inciting the crowd…” are idiots. So Javes Lewis POINTING AT THE CROWD justifies throwing stuff at the team? I suppose you think a girl that got sexually assaulted was “asking for it” because she wore a short skirt and low-cut shirt, right? It’s insane to me that people would even bother trying to justify this behavior.

I was at the game and the Wildcat fans were for the most part very civil towards us fans…Until the 4th quarter that is.
Was the bottle throwing broadcast on T.V? Because it ensued for a VERY long time.
You guys cannot come close to imagining the feeling inside me when the fans stormed the field, and ended up losing!!!! ONCE IN A LIFETIME!!!
