obie7661,

Maybe the one-game suspension should serve as a message around Ohio for brawls not to happen!!!!!

What a bunch of crass delinquents.

[Paul Brown]

Should forfeit the rest of the season.

My brother in law is a coach with Toledo Central Catholic, according to him the Toldedo Police had the Central players put their helmets on and get down on the floor of the bus as they stadium. It was absolute disgrace that the Roger's coaching staff did not have more control of his team. I wasn't there, but I read where the Roger's coaching staff was almost encouraging the behavior, even mocking Central fans as he walked off the field. Can you say THUG

Toledo Rogers has got to be the most classless team in Ohio. And I'm stopping entirely short of saying they probably have the worst fans at that.

Shame on Toledo Rogers. Low down, dirty, sick, crazed, no good, heartless, egotistical, livid, lurid, irresponsible, sad, horrible heathens. What a bunch of destructive awful, senseless, sullen, eradicated, superstars.

Maybe they get it from this guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llew3kAqev8&feature=related (I know five high schools where he'd end up at :laugh:)

I do believe there are two sides to every story. It is a shame that the players from Toledo Rogers felt the need to come on the field and display unsportsmanlike conduct, but something had to lead up to it. Most of the time the person that retaliates (in a football game), usually is the one that gets caught. I doubt Central Catholic is completely innocent, they just didn't get caught.

I have read that there are people asking Coach Rios to resign. I have also read he is not well liked in the Toledo area football community. I understand he can't control everyone on the sidelines, but if he had instilled discipline in his players before the fight...I doubt it would have happened or would have been bad enough to stop the game.

Here again...where were the adults? Where were the coaches? Where were the parents? Right in there causing trouble and cheering the players on. Not a good thing.

Wrong. Rogers players were standing by Central cheerleaders holding the ring the players run through, harassing them, and then jawed at the Central players when they ran onto the field. Rogers was looking for trouble from the get go. They're a bunch of thugs who don't belong on a football field. Rogers team and coach were seen encouraging fans to come onto the field and join them in the fight. They don't deserve a football program.

Paul Brown,

I'm betting the entire makeup of the team was black along with their fans. Teams like Rogers and the people surrounding the regime are the only schools capable of pulling that off.

when a coach has know control over his team then this is what happens. I was at a clemson/FSU game and fsu was down by where clemson comes down the hill at taunting them. this was so retarded as fsu should have gotten a penalty. the coach should be ask to sit out 1 game and the school/university FINED!! they could have just lined up on there sideline and got hyped. this is when fights start or like when both teams need to meet at the 50!!! just go to your sideline and play the fricken game. doing classless stuff like this does nothing for your team as the better team always wins.
