for getting a technical foul against USC for cursing at the fans. Can't make this stuff up.

Game tied at 47. I would fire him, too.
Can't really blame O'Neill for that.
O, I definitly agree, I just don't think I have ever seen a student manager get a technical before. This might be some kind of precedent.
I can't imagine what must have gone through the student manager's mind when he saw the ref turn around and T him up. "OH S*#T!" probably doesn't do it justice. I suspect that was a loooong plane ride home.
To be a fly on the wall of that locker room for the post game meeting.......

He was swearing at the ref. When I saw fans, I thought the ref was a bit out of line and getting too mighty, but if he was swearing at the ref, what a dumbass. He deserves that firing.
Lens, ever hear of this kind of s h i t before?
The link to the highlights is hysterical too. It's good to know that other local news channels opt not to feed in professionally shot videos from the sports stations or arena cameras and instead, rely upon handheld cameras. That way, they give off the impression that the game was similar to one being held in a high-school gym or football field.
Milwaukee news channels do that ALL the time for the Packers and it makes no sense. Yes, I know you were at the game. But can you show me the ESPN/ABC feed and not your guy standing fileld-level in the endzone so that I have some perspective on what's actually going on?
Rant over.
