Ohio State Fan Assault Update

It seems the story of the two Ohio State fans being assaulted prior to the game last Saturday is getting a lot of attention in State College now. New details are becoming available tonight.

A man seen in a Youtube.com video throwing beer cans at an Ohio State student during a tailgate party has been identified by police as a University of Pittsburgh student, and the fraternity that hosted the party will be cited in connection with the "melee," police said.

So the main player in all of this was a Pitt student. Insert your own joke here.


Who knew Pitt hated Ohio State so much?

But let's not forget the fact that the overwhelming majority of the people there were Penn State students and fans. And they either joined in throwing cans of beer, stood by doing nothing, chanted "F___ Ohio", or worked the video camera making asinine comments. These people should not be let off the hook. While charges may be harsh, a stern talking to is in order from someone. That's why I'm glad to see the Pi Kappa Alpha house facing sanctions from the University and Police.

A summary citation of disorderly conduct will be issued to Pi Kappa Alpha for hosting the party.

"It was invitation only, but we feel that based on the investigation, the majority (of attendants) were Pi-ka members involved in this melee," Robb said.

Good. I would like to see PKA punished. Like say, no parties with alcohol for a year? That sounds about right.

We're also learning some details as to why two Ohio State fans would be walking down a back alley where a PSU frat party was going on.

Buckeye fans shown in the video are members of the Pi Kappa Alpha chapter at Ohio State who attended a party at the Penn State chapterhouse Friday, according to a statement Wednesday by Penn State.

Oh, so this is how they treat fellow Pi Kappa Alpha brothers visiting from out of town? Wow. Where do I sign up for this frat? Are we being led to believe this was just some good natured ribbing going on? Apparently the Pitt guy didn't get the memo, bitch.
