Did you see the video? He's obviously not doing it out of anger or frustration. Appeared almost like someone dared or bet him to go snag an Auburn ball after the game. He ran off holding the ball up and celebrating, like it was a joke.
Lighten up folks.
It feeds the narrative.
19 wins in the last two seasons and both end with nonsense.

As a Memphis fan, it doesn't embarrass you that he ran over to an equipment manager, took him to the ground, shoved the guy back to the ground, and ran off with the ball acting like a complete idiot? Spend 10 seconds around Reggis, and you'll see that he is THE epitome of TODAY's definition of a ******.
No, not at all. I don't define the value or lack thereof I place on myself by the actions of a sports team made up of 18-22 year olds.
He was having fun, and didn't hurt anyone. Let him live.
How do you know he didn't hurt the guy? Took him to the ground with his helmet on and shoved him. Geez, I sound like a liberal
Make him walk home. Maybe charge him with assault. Pretty stupid move on his part. Media will pile on and lump this with Miami Brawl to make us look bad.
The media already lumped this in with the Miami Bowl, but there are a lot more games coming up today and tomorrow. I'm glad we didn't get tagged for too many penalties today.
But if we are lucky, another player on another losing team will tackle an equipment manager.... or an assistant coach.

Yeah, Fuente kept this team off the police blotter and out of the NCAA cross hairs while almost winning 20 games in two seasons.
Let's not act like the world is ending because a college kid wants a souvenir ball from his last game.

Embarrassing. His brother acted a fool with a baseball bat. We need to rethink recruiting Stone Mtn., GA

Auburn was told before the game that Ball has stolen the game ball in every game he has made an interception. They were ready for him but not ready for him to take their equipment manager to the ground.
Sad and embarrassing.

Birmingham police were contacted. They said the ball boy has not filed a police report, and said he would let Memphis take care of it. But that, "the justice system could absolutely be used if he chooses."

I thought that was kind of funny, too. But I guess he technically could be charged with assault

RE: Reggis Ball fights Auburn staff over ball??
Bad move...and I am sure there will be in,y a few thug references...even though it is more knucklehead than thug...but that narrative flows better.
Last year the BYU kids started it...although in this case, while we do not know what happened before he took the ball and unforgivably shoved that GA...bad move.
Have to cut him symbolically. Welcome coach Norvell.
