So What’s Up With This Tunnel Thingy…….

This is the second time this season these teams can’t seem to walk to their locker rooms without an altercation of some sort…….. :roll:

Teams have to enter the tunnel to the locker rooms down the same tunnel. Usually together at half time and /or the end of the game. Also Michigan fans can be assholes.

Oh……… I wonder how all those teams managed to do it before now??? Speaking of assholes, I read where Coach Harbaugh is calling for prosecution for the Tunnel Troublemakers. 8)

It has alway been a thing. Before they would have one team follow another. I think Harbaugh want the touble so he can keep the chip on his players shoulder. But at the end of the day both Penn State and Michigan State players bit. You can take the bait no matter what.

…….if Harbaugh started using this as a stunt and then turns around and calls for prosecution of opposing players, he’s most definitely an buttface. :?

He is that.

Here is an article.

This isn't anything new, it just is how they are letting the teams enter close together that is causing the problems.

After watching the videos, it sure appears to me there’s plenty of blame on both teams for what happened. :roll:

The video that I saw was of a bunch of players mobbing a lone player...assaulting him...ten on one.

No excuses...that needs to be handled...it was an assault. And being on a team doesn't give you amnesty for ganging up on a lone player.

and I am with Harbough...saying "we're sorry" is not enough.

I agree. No excuse, but this isn't new there and it is because the locker rooms are next to each other. Fans were tapping Mel Tucker's head coming into the tunnel. I'm am sure players on both sides were talking. Not a good situation. I know for a fact during the Ohio State Michigan game there, they have always delayed Ohio State going in for several minutes after Michigan hits the tunnel. That is how it should be. That is how it has always been until this year and this year it changed. Why? It has to have something to do with Harbaugh.

After watching ALL the videos, I believe Coach Harbaugh should have a chat with his player wearing the number 1 jersey, “What’s up and what happened?”. 8)

I am sure that Harbaugh did....

And I am sure that punkish MSU players ganged up on a Michigan player....sure, it is a heated rivalry...and MSU was thoroughly whipped on the field...and even if an opponent verbally gloats...having a gang of thugs beat him is unacceptable.

And making excuses for this type of activity is unacceptable...at leastMichigan State honchos are making the right noises.

It’s important to get the Whole Truth……… #1, the guy that got his butt whipped showed some curious, and in my mind, suspect behavior in the videos. 8)

Yeah...and what aspersions are you making? I too watched the videos...saw a gang of thugs 15 on 1.

That MSU player swinging his helmet needs to be tossed...and arrested.

Watch all the videos, even the ones before the teams enter the tunnel.
