If I played in that game I don’t feel like I’d have a choice but to plant that flag. I have a buddy here who graduated from osu. I kind of want to plant a flag in his yard
It’s not enough to do it on the field. You have to tell them. So they know
Plant that flag Michigan!!! Love it! *

Du is good in everything except basketball and football. They don’t play football. It’s a Hockey school. The 9 national champion banners is pretty impressive.
mcmurtry66 you have no class; act like you have won before.
Not me. I’m saying ho-hum. That was spontaneous exuberance. Not a biggie.
Nebraska handshake refusal was planned by the team captains. Nothing spontaneous about it. If I were the coach the captains would have warmed the bench for a time.
I saw a clip where I think Cig said “Purdue sucks” at a pep rally. He should leave that crap for the cheer leaders.
After the game he said “we aren’t done yet”. That was great to hear.
When I was in college we won our first round tourney game and I saw our gk racing for the ball. He grabbed it and drop kicked it 75 yards on a rope. To this day it was the finest kick I’ve ever seen. Right to the entrance of the stadium. I thought wtf is he doing. Just before hitting the ground it fell beautifully in some kid’s arms. The kid then ran right out of the stadium with it.
His brother.
I’d have planted that flag then cut it up into pieces in the locker room for everyone to take with them for their office wall. Like @Noodle perfect lsat certificate
Fun fact: the IU cheerleaders all rush to the center of the court at SSAH after each game (especially losses) and stand their ground, to prevent the opposing team from stomping on or otherwise defiling the IU logo. This came about years ago after someone (Purdue?, I don't recall) did just that.
It’s extremely rare and leads to fights nearly every time. That there was a rash of this yesterday is a reflection of growing Incivility which should not be condoned or tolerated.This isn't exactly s new or localized phenomena...
Exhibit A:
College football brawls break out during Rivalry Week over flag-planting celebration: ‘Causing too many problems’
College football descended into chaos Saturday night when several winning teams attempted to plant a flag in the middle of their opponent’s fields during Rivalry Week.nypost.com
This stuff has been going on for at least a decade...
Personally, I don't condone it.*
*(unless it happens to "the" o-h-i-o $tate, Penn $tate, Michigan, or purdon't, in which case, humiliate them by all means possible is my motto)
Yes, it was Purdue we watched desecrate our symbol of pride at mid-court. Knight never mentioned the incident afterwards, just the pissed off IU fans having lost on our home court.
Well, considering he was buried upside down so critics can kiss his ass, it’s probably the right thing to do.
And what did you say about tO$U’s behavior during the prior week?
Best take I’ve seen
I watched cities be burnt to the ground in the last few years that were condoned and tolerated. I would call this just a "peaceful" celebration.
I thought that was poor sportsmanship. Doesn’t change anything about this.
OK. Irrelevant, but OK.
Also, you didn’t see even one city burnt to the ground. Just saying. 😉
Planting the flag etc just makes it more fun. Adds to the rivalry. It was fun watching Roy keane play. Now they’re also so chummy.
The word incivility makes it relevant. Minneapolis for example. (only 1 city of many) 350 million dollars, 22,000,000 sq feet commercial property. 1300 properties damaged of which over 100 burnt to the ground. Sorry, your right. I over exaggerated. The whole city was not burnt to the ground. But what happened yesterday is meaningless compared to the crap that has real every day consequences to peoples lives.
The incivility that upsets you and the incivility that upsets me are night and day different.

What goes around, comes around.
Also, poor Sawyer is butthurt he is 0-4 against Michigan. What a sad career.
Theres a whole lot of that going on in sports now compared to when I was young. I went to a high school that won the trophy every year (for 12 years straight) for being the best school in the conference when it came to sportsmanship. They quit doing that because no one could possibly win one shortly after I graduated.
Problem is the Michigan coach can't chew that player out for being classless since he himself joined his players in turning to the crowd and giving the mock wave as the clock ticked down.
I will say that the emotions had to be high for both teams after that game. OSU had to feel like they got punched in the gut and Michigan knew it. Making it 4 in a row when even they knew it was likely gonna be a loss had them floating in air. Eventually something really bad is gonna come from one of these skirmishes.
I linked an article showing that similar instances happened 4 times on the same day and you call that "extremely rare"(?)... 🙄
The problem with sports today is that those lines keep expanding so players/teams come up with some to expand the current lines. I would guess planting a flag like that will gradually become more common.... which is too bad in my opinion.
