You're grasping at straws here. I honestly don't remember the cheers going on, but if you say so, then maybe it did. In any case, I doubt anyone was cheering because the player was injured. No one in their right mind does that. We may have some fans that would do that, but the vast majority are pretty classy fans.
That being said, I'm sure that NO Tiger fans would EVER be low class enough to do something like that. I mean come on, every school has those select few that you wish you could get rid of. Don't act like somehow all Memphis fans are above all Ole Miss fans.
You have your share who do similar things. In fact, for example, in '03 at the Liberty Bowl after the game, a Memphis fan made fun of my 12 year old cousin for his haircut. Pretty low class if you ask me, taking a shot at a kid, especially in his most insecure years, but I'm not naive enough to think that ALL Memphis fans are like that.
All that being said, it's typically the students that are most likely to do things that are immature and classless. Everyone has those, and I don't think they are particularly different at any single school.
