The video shows that most of the Buckeyes were down at the endzone area while the band played Carmen Ohio. Unranked Michigan was celebrating their history-making victory at the center of the field of their #2 ranked rivals. Their rivals were heavy favorites by 19-22 points at home and had arrogantly threatened to score 100 pts on them in the recent past. So, it was not surprising for the Wolverines to celebrate the incredible victory. As they were planting their flag a wave of Buckeyes, led by Sawyer, into the Michigan players assaulting them. It was a terrible display of poor sportsmanship. The Michigan players had to defend themselves from the brutal attack. As this assault was occurring the Buckeye's head coach was standing there looking on in a daze, like he had just woken from a terrible nightmare. "What happened?" he asked as the melee occurred. Rather than rushing in to separate his players from the opponent team, he stood there and did nothing. The Michigan coaches and Ohio State assistant coaches were struggling to separate the two teams. The police started spraying mace or bear spray to keep the players apart. Contrary to some reports it appears both teams were sprayed. So, yes, the Buckeye's started the melee, and their coach did nothing. They should be held accountable, and OSU fans should be asking why their coach stood there and did nothing. It was a shameful display of poor sportsmanship by the Buckeyes.This is bullshit... both teams got fined by the Big Ten for the post game fracas.
Video CLEARLY shows them starting it, despite how much Gus Johnson & Fox tried to "both sides" it on the broadcast. Our team was out there planting the flag, as lots of schools do, including others have done to us... and a sea of red comes on the field and starts shoving.
