Miami vs. ASU Color Guard

[fjblair]

ASU needs to get to the bottom of this now. Not a good look for the school whether anything happened or not. If anything occurred it should have been reported to officials and NOT posted on social f#####g media.

[S.Lewis15]

If no proof comes out, the color guard member should be released from the squad. This stuff is too serious to make false claims about.

[App91]

Back the hell off DC, dont come over here and tell us what you would like. That said, the original post was informative, just noting a social media post as we would have done if a player or anyone else attached to the Univ. None of us here are wanting this to be true, or not true for that matter. i dont like it either and if not true there should be an apology.

All that said, you slow your roll.

Not going to happen.

I simply posted the information to find further proof/evidence. Never did I say that this actually happened.

You posted it here instead of going through proper channels. That put one if not both universities under a cloud regardless of any factual findings.

Not going to argue with you CVAPP. It's not worth my time. Fact is, if I saw another public post like this one, I'd do it again in a heartbeat. It's better to get as many details as possible than to sweep it under the rug. I could care less about any "cloud" it might generate.

vegattk, well, because of your total lack of good judgment, you created a fire storm and obviously your arrogance will not allow you to apologize. IMO, you posted this for no other reason than to "incite". You certainly accomplished that. BTW, Miami has your name. If you were so concerned, why did you simply post on a message board vs. going to AppState administration and football AD? Why didn't you encourage or leave it up to the person who was "allegedly" accosted to do something about it? Miami fans are mad as hell about this. I plan to write your school president and AD stating a written public apology is in order to the players, staff and fans of the University of Miami, plus the AP and ESPN should be advised. In addition, you should be banned from posting on his sight. Believe me, your color guard has been tainted by this, along with your entire university. The color guard and band are part of the pageantry of college football, but make no mistake, the main event/focus is football. Your band director needs to make sure the entrance to the field by both the home and visitor teams are clear. The players are psyched up and in large pads when they run out on the field.

We get it. You've said the same thing several times now. If this isn't true, then I would expect an appropriate reaction by the university. But you really need to chill out coming here and making demands, and posting what I would consider to be a threat against the OP.

And I'm sure App made Miami aware that the band was going to be further back due to the skydivers. You would think that the class act Miami is would see this and you know maybe try to avoid them a little. I'm not saying that this incident happened because I haven't seen any pictures of anyone getting hit, but Miami is at fault also for not even trying to avoid the band. The truth will come out and the right person will get punished.

What did you expect Miami to do? There was no room at all for them. It was either dodge band members, or dodge the people on the sideline/benches/etc. I know App St. had to leave room for the parachuters to land, but if you are going to do that, the colorguard shouldn't have been on the field at all in order to leave Miami enough room to enter the field. Another option would have been to hold Miami's entrance off until the App St. band got out of the way. Any way you want to slice it, App St. is at fault for any possible "incidental" contact between UM players and the App St. Band. As for the allegations of groping and lewd comments, there still isn't a shred of evidence that it occurred. It is time for App St. to publicly apologize.

[Gonzo]

I'm pretty sure it's a hoax, but ol' boy from Daytona needs to take a Xanax and move on.

[TheMoody1]

Apologize for what? Either the color guard made it up or the Miami players did it. After the truth is determined, whoever is guilty should apologize and be punished.

[Gonzo]

Yeah I don't see how this could possibly be App's fault. Either the girl lied or the Miami players did it.

[Rekdiver]

Ok my post didnt make it earlier so I will repost:
I didn't see anything happen but the girl did forward the info to both the App and U admin. If she made it up she needs to apologize not App. I was getting on guys for making the ThugU comments then I see you make a veiled threat "BTW, Miami has your name"............
Really? Bring it down a bit man.

4 days have gone by, and there is not a single video showing the alleged incident, or a single corroborating witness. The videos available (while flawed) don't show anything happening. There has been more than enough time for this girl to prove her accusations. Meanwhile this story has been picked up by ESPN and the damage to UM's reputation is done. Like I said, it is time for her/App St. to apologize for the false accusations and move on.

[appchicago]

Right. Some serious allegations were made publicly by a student on her own Facebook page. Both universities are looking into it to determine the veracity of the claim.

So why on earth would App apologize?

[Boone Goon]

Yeah I don't see how this could possibly be App's fault. Either the girl lied or the Miami players did it.

Agreed, whichever way it goes, the university of the perpetrator should (& will) apologize. Either there is a video of the contact or there isn't. I'm hoping a 'dash cam' video emerges, but after 4 days I'm getting nervous.

As for the punk from Daytona; go back to your troll hole and get off our board!

Wow dude. Simply wow.

Funny thing was.. was that I saw the Miami guys run to the endzone and knelt in what looked like a short pre-game prayer. I thought, heck Richt might actually be turning Miami around.

Then we get this allegation by the color guard member and now I'm being threatened...

Seems to me that some fans haven't let go of that "thug U" mentality.

Why don't you join your coach in changing that ok?

[NCCane]

Hey vegattk, just curious. Have you heard back from either Administration?

Not me personally..

Insert Captain Picard face palm meme here.

[NCCane]

I apologize vegattk, I thought you were Sophie. Do you happen to know if she's been contacted? I'm pretty sure both Universities want to settle this as soon as possible and deal with any punishment if warranted.

[CF34]

Miami AD is on record saying no evidence has been presented that supports these claims. When is the statement coming from the App St. AD?
