Those crazy drunken Tigers

Nebraska football player suspended after punching a Missouri fan following Mizzou's Saturday stomping of the Huskers.

If you've seen the video, (it went national yesterday), do you think the fan was "threatening" the player? The spin around here (because NE fans and media are can't see their angels doing anything wrong) is that Huston was defending himself.

Since when does a 200+ lb football player, wearing full pads and a helmet, feel "threatened" by a wimpy fan? Doesn't wash with me.

The video is on ESPN's In Motion and also on foxsports.com if anyone wants to see it. That said, what the heck was this guy thinking? Huston didnt even break his pace when he punched the fan. He just kept on walking. He felt threatened, my ass!
