It's BYU - appearance & perception are everything

Tom Holmoe got texts and calls about Riley's "scruffy" hair after the USU comeback.

Corby Eason's colorful mohawk is seen on TV and complaints roll in.

BYU gets in a brawl, feathers are going to be ruffled.

The public image of the school trumps all.

I'm sure we'll see at least one clip of it during the broadcast on Saturday.

The media are the ones that will sound the trumpets if we dont have players

I remember it, and even as a Coug fan I want to see some suspensions from it.

Even if they have already been punished privately, you still want them punished

Jericho

Since their offenses were very puvblic in nature I believe the punishment

Everyone who did more than try to break up the fracus and pull guys apart.

you clearly are a ute fan - go back to your board

Lol. Anyone who disagrees must be a Ute fan? Sensitive much?

Self-defense has never involved taking shots to the back of someone's head.

Does it have to be a game? What if the suspended players have been doing
