November 20, 200421 yr Author South Carolina, Clemson players fight on field CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) -- Players from South Carolina and Clemson brawled late in the game Saturday, with 67-year-old coach Lou Holtz diving into the pile as peacemaker in his regular-season finale with the Gamecocks. ``That's the first time that ever happened to me during a game,'' Holtz said. Police, security and coaches tried to separate the teams, who scuffled before the game started and pushed and shoved each other throughout. The fight appeared to start at the line of scrimmage when South Carolina failed on a fourth-and-11. South Carolina offensive lineman Chris White was fighting with Clemson players and the others rushed to the center of the field to take part. South Carolina receiver Matthew Thomas and Clemson cornerback Justin Miller also traded swings. The mass of players moved to the east end zone before security, state troopers and other law enforcement officers could break things up. ``There's no place in football for it,'' Holtz said. The public address announcer asked all players to clear the field. Both teams were assessed unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. After a break of about 10 minutes, play resumed with Clemson ahead 29-7.
November 21, 200421 yr As long as no fans are involved, sport fights are fun. 618648[/snapback] Word. With the fans getting involved last night, even my immature ass was sad for the sport and sports in general, but most fights are awesome. Like this fight was.
November 21, 200421 yr I got a friend who's a GA at Clemson, and two friend's whose brothers play for USC....talked to them about the game...still kinda speechless. Terrible for football...but great fun to watch at the time.
November 21, 200421 yr There's no room for that in college football, unfortunately it happens. Rough ending to Lou Holts regular season coaching finale.
