My exact same thoughts.

Why?

JohnnyC

Can’t tell if you are serious. If you are, you have to sustain actual damages

kansascougar

Kinda serious.......people have sue for less

JohnnyC

10/17/20 12:34pm

Well if he gets sick... I guess we will find out in 2-14 days...

Mental stress and loss of sleep worrying about it is enough. The dude should

Rocketman

Not for battery. You can get nominal damages

Cougs'16

10/17/20 1:17pm

I defend plenty of cases where there are no actual damages. You'd be surprised.

endy

I’m sure many would try to sue

Pretorian

10/17/20 5:58pm

People have been charged with assault for doing that

TunaNoCrust

10/17/20 11:53am

My thoughts exactly.....I would consider it if I was in that situation...

JohnnyC

10/17/20 11:54am

Does anybody know about it? Espn? In any newstory anywhere? Its an egregious act

BYUfan92

10/17/20 11:54am

If the spitter has been white espn would definitely be talking about it

BYU '80

10/17/20 12:01pm

I feel that way too unfortunately. Huge issue if it was reversed

BYUfan92

10/17/20 12:05pm

The 2 thumbs down r kidding themselves with their votes. White BYU guy spitting

BleedCougarBlue2

10/17/20 4:06pm

100000% true, it probably would have caused riots

Pretorian

10/17/20 5:59pm

When Romanowski did it, the racial component became a big issue

OU Cougar

10/17/20 11:55am

Garbage humans spit at other humans. It’s an uncivilized act

SpiffCoug

10/17/20 12:10pm

^^^^^ putting it nicely

Pretorian

10/17/20 6:00pm

Maybe his spit contains the antibodies and he's being selfless?

Agreed. It’s so classless that if I used Twitter I would do that

BYUfan92

10/17/20 12:24pm

Please don’t, just let the UH coaches handle it.

cougarmeister

10/17/20 12:30pm

Holgorson won’t do anything.

Reasonable1

10/17/20 12:32pm

^^^This is true...Dana won’t do anything about it.

Coug98

10/17/20 1:26pm

Dana could have passed as a chick last night... lovely Curley locks

Pretorian

10/17/20 6:01pm

Will they even notice?

Scooter

10/17/20 7:57pm

Even if nothing happens, we shouldn’t act like the UU Twitter mob

cougarmeister

10/17/20 10:09pm

I agree with that

Scooter

10/18/20 6:39am

Agree. Remember the Utah dentist fan that went after an ASU player for targeting

Soy Celeste

10/18/20 6:47am

I hadn't even thought about that. Good point.

When I read Spitgate I immediately think of this:

That's one magic loogie.

ebv

10/17/20 8:48pm

I didn't see it. When did it happen?

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

10/17/20 1:22pm

Same, anyone have a video clip?

zerome4sooners

10/17/20 1:31pm

about 1:55 to go in the game, just after an incomplete pass on the Houston

basman

10/17/20 1:32pm

It seems that "Number 2" is an appropriate moniker for the spitter.

10/17/20 2:30pm

I think there was a second spitter

10/17/20 2:40pm

That is one magical lugie

A team reflects the personality of their coach.

Seasider

10/17/20 4:16pm

Sooooooo classless. Their guy should be suspended for 3 games, minimum. If I....

BleedCougarBlue2

10/17/20 4:18pm

I missed this. At what point in the game did this happen?

Adrielle

10/17/20 5:34pm

Very late. I believe it was Houston’s last play from scrimmage. We stopped them.

Soy Celeste

10/17/20 5:45pm

*** spit over w/ some force & aim.

Soupie

10/17/20 5:47pm

Someone who spits in someone else’s face is a complete trash human being.
