Doug… your posts make a lot of sense and I totally agree that the officials could have handled this way better and could have saved this incident from becoming as crazy as it is. I do question your statement that you have “empathy for the ref that heard it”. Have I missed something? I have yet to read or hear anything official that a game official heard definitively what was said. Until I see the final release from ISU’s investigation and their official announcement, how do we know what truly we said? Hard for me to have empathy if I don’t know facts…but that’s just me.This the the part that pisses me off the most. I have empathy for the ref that heard it and for the NSU coach after it was relayed to him. I will not question what the NSU coach said as I've seen the video and article with the quotes that @isutaz shared.
The fact that the refs didn't bring coach Pedon and the NSU coach together at the same time to tell them is what caused this bad, unacceptable conduct of a fan to become an embarrassment of our university. I am 100% certain that coach Pedon would have actively gotten involved to calm the crowd and immediately apologized for what happene.d
