I owe everyone an apology....

I know this has been brough up plenty, and I haven't had time to read all the posts since the game on Friday.

I've been avoiding the board since I got home.

On Friday I was harassed all day by ASU students. I met a lot of great ASU fans and had many long conversations, but most of the day I was being cussed out, called all kinds of homophobic stuff, and had stuff thrown at me.

After we lost, I was sad for our seniors, but was proud of this year's team. I wanted to stick around to support the team.

Then all the crap with the grabbing of crotches, flipping off, and all of that started.

I LOST it, and I owe everyone an apology for misrepresenting the school. I threw a couple of things at the ASU students, and they did hit them.

I felt bad pretty quick and on the way to the car congradulated every ASU fan/player/coach I passed. This added up to about 2-300.

We got to our car and ASU fans had thrown drinks on it. I was ready to get out of there.

It took us 45 mins to get out of the parking lot, and I sat and watched as ASU students walked through our tailgating area and tried to pick fights.

I was proud of the people in our area after the game, they showed a lot of class.

I've learned a lot from this weekend, and hope to keep my cool a little bit better in the future.

I'm really proud of this team and was happy to see a huge win by our basketball team on Saturday(as well as last night).

Thanks to everyone who has been so friendly this year.

Don't feel bad Rob, you weren't the only one.

It's tough to be the bigger person. You got caught up in things and reacted; then felt bad and made up. Sounds fine to me. Not like the ASU fans creating the problem felt bad.

I too owe an apology to Nation. For I uttered some unkind words to some appy state fans as we were leaving. I was mad at being mooned during our alma mater, and about put my horn through some appy state fan's head after the verbal barrage hurled at me. So i apologize to all for my poor behavior and representation of our fine institution. Sorry for the delay, but the rents have just now got DSl at home here. Hope all the panthers had a merry christmas and thanks for the ride football team, and lets go b-ball.

Jesus, guys. This is like a televangelists tent confessional.

Come on.
