BYU, a bunch of punk thugs. Nothing more, nothing less.

They cant win either .

We won the game and they tried to leave a bad image of us on TV, But love how them Commenters act like its all our guys Fault....Miami HUrricanes should to have a bad boy imagine that helped build their Brand National, and Helped them in Recruiting, Didn't want this kind of stuff, but our guys had to defend themselves from those BYU attacks, and yes there will be some kind of punishment....The World Is Ours Memphis...

Every video replay I've watched people have said watch as #97 of the Tigers start the fight... Let forget about just before he throws the punch BYU's #55 shoved #97. Did he derserve the retaliation? Probably not but it looked like tensions were already high anyways. Sad way to end a great game by both teams... Well at least a few knuckleheads from both teams.

It was #56 that shoved our guy. The same #56 that had a personal foul penalty called against him in the first half, if I recall correctly.

Shoving is much different than punching.
I'm embarrassed for my team because we threw the first punch.
Just turrible

Clearly the BYU guy head butts and pushes Efedi, he reacts with a serious shove and it's on.
How anyone can blame the brawl on Memphis is just wrong.

I do. But that's just my opinion. Never heard an opinion being wrong before.
If byu is known for being dirty then you rise above.

Psshhh, you spend way too much time on the Politics forum reading CUSA's "opinion" for me to believe that...

Not sure we can really blame this thing on players, even that little hit-n-run doofus of theirs. Both sides were so pumped and trying not to let the hits hurt. I did notice BYU's guys were doing a lot of after-whistle stuff.

Truth is, though, I am looking at their coach. He kind of set it up by lying to his team just to get them pumped. Who knows what else he said. I was not impressed with Bronco prior to the game. Something about that dude...is just not up front.

When was the last time you saw a winner start a post game fight?

Can you say "never"?

We just kicked their superior teams ass................twice.

Wow. They can't even spell cretin correctly. That's really sad and makes you wonder what type of school they're running out there.

Quote:Cretin
Eat your iodine.

Dear Word Detective: What is the origin of the word “cretinism”? I have been hunting for this answer with the idea that maybe it is tied to the island of Crete and some view by the Greeks that they were some sort of giants or something, but have come up dry. Hopefully you wise people will find the answer. –Joseph Lynch.

That’s a good question. Incidentally, in your email you spelled the word “cretenism” (rather than “cretinism,” the standard form), which may be why you had difficulty finding information. If one plugs “cretenism” into Google, it does cough up about 500 web pages spelling it that way, mostly blogs and the like, but many of them serious medical sites, which is odd. In fact, the US government National Institutes of Health occasionally uses that spelling.

In any case, your hunch connecting “cretinism” to Crete, the largest of the Greek islands, is entirely reasonable, given the similarity in pronunciation of “cretin” (“KREET-in”) to “Cretan,” a native of the island (“KREET-an”). But there is no connection between the two words.

Today “cretin” is usually used as a derogatory slang term for someone perceived as being stupid, foolish or incompetent, equivalent to “moron,” “idiot” or “nitwit” (“I had to get clearance from some cretin in Human Resources to take the day off.”). The origins of “cretin,” however, lie in a true human tragedy.

The medical condition known as “cretinism” is caused by a severe deficiency of thyroid hormones (a condition known as “hypothyroidism”). In infants, this condition results in greatly stunted growth, physical deformities and cognitive impairment that ranges from slight to severe. The primary cause of cretinism is lack of iodine in the diet, a deficiency that can also cause “goiter,” a grossly enlarged thyroid gland visible as a large swelling in the neck. Hypothyroidism today is usually successfully treated with iodine supplements.

Lack of iodine in the diet (due mostly to poor soil conditions) was, at one time, common in southern Europe, especially in the rural villages of the valleys at the foot of the Alps. The word “cretin” itself is derived from the Swiss French Alpine dialect word “crestin,” from the Latin word “Christianum,” which means “Christian.”

Just why the word “Christian” was applied to such sufferers is a matter of dispute among etymologists, but the most likely explanation is that “Christian” was used in the sense of “human creature, worthy of respect” in order to make clear that those afflicted with “cretinism,” while they might look and act a bit odd, were simply people like the rest of us. “Christian” was also used in English in this non-religious sense from the 16th through the 19th century, essentially as a synonym of “fellow” or “regular guy.”

didnt the same guy that head butted ifedi get ejected from the Houston game?

I've never seen us start one when we lose one either.
