The fact that it happened at LES too means that we should just be careful about throwing too many stones (or trash, water bottles, or whatever) at other fan bases.

We like to be victims way too much sometimes.

I'm struggling to think of a reason why this isn't a bigger story

Always follow the money. That will generally lead you to the answer.

I thought Randle was a decent guy til the aftermath of that game.

Has it been in 1280? In the Trib? Picked up by national news?

Search shows it in the Trib. I don't know about 1280/97.5, but I think so.

It was discussed on multiple radio stations.

Is that true?

Discussed on 1280 and KALL 700 both, but not since soon after the game

Just imagine the frenzy if it would have been a u cheer coach at a BYU game?

This says much more about BYU actually.

This is true, but… is it the media that’s yokel, or the public who eats it up

I think this is true cuz the Y/Church chooses to not make a fuss about things.

It's Utah. Conveniently, negative stories don't get covered.

Especially nephew of the chair of board of trustees. Should be national news

runnincoug

There are different aspects of a response. I’d think the U would ban him from games & that would be ok. The cheer coach

Because it wasn’t the religious school that threw the water bottle

There is some guy on here who loves, adores, defends Randle but haven’t heard from him on this one

Common occurrence in your world of football fandom?

nah, I just don't think a kid throwing a water bottle at someone warrants

There might be some other part of the story you're glossing over. Maybe.

It wasn't racist so it didn't show up in ESPN... oh wait...

Too bad the victim can't sue the school.

This is as excellent an illustration of media bias and agenda as anything.

Quite frankly, a young man made a stupid emtoional decision.

That doesn't excuse the university president for not stepping up and apologizing

the young man made a bad decision...because of the toxic atmosphere.

Max Hall's parents didn't even get injured and that was a bigger story.

You’d have to think if it happened at byu it would be a bigger story

THIS happening in Provo was uglier.

The Ute fan would like everybody to know that not knocking somebody out is

Ahhh, so as long as no one got hurt, then that's not so bad in Provo.

It was ugly in RES. It's ugly wherever fans do it.

Both schools threw trash. One injured someone with it. That’s why it’s worse

I’ll do it. Y and U Both threw trash. Only U injured a person. Definitely worse

When it is a huge donor's family member Utah will obviously suppress the story.
