I finally watched the fight on tape. I will admit that's all I watched. I found it odd that McCrapo and Booger wanted an extra 2 on McMahon. Venalli (?) did come in and bump McMahon first, though this was pretty minor. Venalli was also the first one to put the glove to the face. Now McMahon dropped his gloves first, but it sure took Venalli a while to do the same, even though he tried face washing McMahon who didn't have a helmet. Looked like a couple good ones landed on both sides.
For whoever said that it wasn't as big of a deal for McMahon to fight because it's non conference, I think it's a huge loss. This is a big non-con game (NCAA tourney comparisons) and to make matters worse, we are on the road. This limits the amount of players we can bring. I haven't read anything about McMahon not making the trip, but I think we'll need him against BC and now he can't play.
