No class or knee slapper? Either way, I hope we don't make this a habit Mr. Harrington.

Poor sportsmanship shouldn’t be encouraged. We’re better than that kind of behavior.

Lol some of these comments are just wow! When Parker Collins just bulldogs someone and gets flagged we love it and talk about how it sets the tone. I know it's not the same thing but I could care less about this, I don't think it makes us a "classless" program or Harrington a classless player. In fact that dude is a difference maker and an emotional tone setter. They had quite a few dirty plays if we really want to get into it, but I certainly don't take exception to it.

I laughed a little at it.
We don’t even know if it was intentional or not. The coaches could have been yelling at him to get off the field and he couldn’t stick around to help him up.

Naahhhhh, watch that pull away and you can easily tell that was intentional. We laugh at the little things until they turn in to big things and then blame people for not doing something about it when they were little things.

I saw it during the game and live it looked like Harrington thought the Pirate QB didn’t see his extended hand. The replay makes it look on purpose. If that the case I’m not a fan.

If he did this to one of our rivals and it started a scuffle that gets him and potentially others kicked out of the game will you still care less? One dumb incident doesn't make us or him classless, but if it becomes a pattern then yes. There is a big difference between hard hits, or even a stare down post hit, and holding your hand out to help only to pull it away. I have a feeling any of us would have had some choice words for him were we on the receiving end.

It was bad…but I laughed anyway. Maybe the QB had been talking trash to him?

I get what you are saying. With that said there are a lot of ifs and buts involved. In that incident I could in fact care less. There is no evidence to suggest that this is more than an isolated incident. Also the coaches have seen the video, I'm sure it has been addressed. And your right it's different in than hard hits or a stare down, but I was referring to ECUs late hits out of bounds and a few other things that could have easily been flagged as unsportsmanlike conduct. At the end of the day THIS incident is being blown a bit out of proportion.

I'm more in favor of helping him up just to let him know that I'll be back next play to knock him back down again.

I can only imagine the reaction if the roles were reversed.

If that exact situation happened in reverse I would not have thought twice about it.

My god if there were microphones on the field you would not imagine the amount of trash talk. Best thing that could have happened from this would be if it wasn’t posted.

Its a sports forum where we discuss actions of our players on the field. So there is no problem with it being posted here. We all know players talk trash. Thank you. Their voices are rarely heard on the field. Their actions are captured forever in recorded media.
