Brawl Memories in College Basketball

By Steve Czaban on July 30, 2008 1:00 AM | | Comments (2)

Czabe,

Regarding your discussion of great sports brawls of all time, this one isn't on many people's radar, but it scores high for merit on total mayhem.

UAB vs. ODU, late 80s

A bogus moving pick call gets a response by fans (only time I ever saw a perfect spiral of a paper cup full of ice…trailing it as if it flew).

UAB player gets in argument with fans, goes into stands, fans toss him back on court (GET OUTA HERE), UAB assistant stabs Norfolk cop with a mechanical pencil, Gene Bartow cries fowl claiming ODU coach (Young) incited crowd (he picked up mike and told everybody to stop). Crowd throws chairs at UAB players as they leave court……All on ESPN National TV.

James H. Brent, P.E.

I recall one as a kid between U of Minnesota and Ohio State. Big time head bashing. I just remember that I never wanted to play basketball again

that was The Ohio State vs. U of MN (1/25/72). Luke Whitte of O/S gets knocked to the ground hard, going to the hoop. He is helped up by Corky Taylor of The Gophers. Taylor then gives him a knee to the groin. Other Gophers stomp on his head till unconscious. A Pier 6 brawl follows.

What Would Irv Have Said?
Hi Steve: When Bob brought up the other day the things may have been different with Brett had Irv been around, I really got to thinking. Since Holmgren, and likely Wolf departed, and his dad died, Favre has had no one to really fear. Next up, Ray Rhodes and Mike Sherman, who let him run wild. Since he didn't have accountability, he could become more of a diva with no one to bring him down to earth. By the time Thompson and McCarthy came along and weren't willing to let Brett walk all over the team, he had been unaccountable for long enough that he couldn't handle it and resented it. Hurt feelings resulted from him having to answer to someone for a change, and from fewer special "Brett rules". I am very curious how he handles Mangini, whom I have been told by a Jets fan is hated by the players. And, wait till Mike Lupica shreds him by mid-October. Read the NY press, they are building him up and up, and they will love tearing him down. See ya, donkey, Terry Rindt Read more ...
