After thinking about it more, I’m completely fine with this. Stay away from the players unless you intend to fight them

The video shows him decking multiple people who obviously aren't getting his face. Sorry, but that's not completely fine. It's inexcusable and embarrassing. If Bohl were here I think he would be sitting the next game and I think that would be the right decision.
Wait, it wasn't just that one shove?
He needs to sit the UNC game. If he pouts or gives the coaches shit, I'd tell him to go ahead and submit his transfer paperwork.

He trips one fan and pushes over two more. Can't be excused.

One game is not nearly enough IMO. Sawvel is out there blaming the stadium setup for this behavior though and he isn’t going to do anything tough. I think he might be off the team under Craig Bohl.

Reading from a prepared statement. Makes him look worse in my mind.
As I said, we don't know what happened before that, nor what was said, nor if there was any physical contact from the fanbase to any of our players or staff. What is the security policy for storming fields in the MWC? It is not allowed, and you take your own risk if you do it?
Criminal charges? Jesus, what a pussified society we live in right now.
Cool. An apology is a good start. Hopefully he actually means it.
But that doesn't mean there aren't consequences for your actions. In my opinion, he needs to sit multiple games. I honestly wouldn't be upset if they decided to dismiss him from the team.
I know I've harped on this before, but I'm going to say it again. We need to start holding young MEN accountable as a society. Somehow, we've decided that 20 year old's are "kids" and we treat them like it. Then we wonder why we have a bunch of man babies that can barely take care of themselves let alone a wife and children. This infantilization of college aged men and women needs to stop.
Well, stay the fuck away from the opposing team players if you don't want confrontation.

These fans weren’t going after him at all. They were literally rushing to celebrate with their own team…just like our fans have done countless times when we beat CSU in Laramie. Williams went out of his way to knock them down.
Let’s stop making excuses for these paid athletes. You want to be paid like a professional, act like one. If I go into my office and start pushing people around (regardless of why they are there), pretty sure I’m being arrested.
Did you actually watch that video?
He is tripping/hitting people running by him that are completely ignoring him. He even tries to walk through a security guard as if the guy wasn't already standing there first.

Prepared statement damage control (attempt) as this has started blowing up on social media. Lacked any sincerity from my standpoint.
I don't know, I wasn't there, and only see what you all see. Which I think tells about 60% of the whole story.

A video doesn’t lie. These people didn’t engage with him whatsoever. He just decided to lay them out.
I didn't see what happened before the video started either. Last violator gets caught. Anyone remember what happened before Dickface went on his tirade? It started with a big "fuck you" - so something was said and done. Just like this situation. Mountain out of a mole hill here. And we are acting like a bunch of goodie two shoes Nancie's on this board with this shit.
So you saw the entire end of game, all aspects, all interactions, all videos, and everything? No, of course you didn't.

Come on man. Take off the brown and gold glasses. This behavior isn’t defensible.
Too bad we didn’t see that aggression on the field. Maybe the Rams wouldn’t have ran it down our throats in the 4th quarter. But Mr Tough Guy wants to lay out some 150 pound students.
Media messed up Sawvel saying it was the stadium setup. The way the presented it on X was like it was one question but it was two separate questions regarding the incident and the second question asked had him talk about stadium setup. The media had a bad quote or a mis-quoted quote without the context so it made it seem like Sawvel blamed the stadium setup from one question.
