The one show I cannot do without is Pardon the Interruption. To those who have not seen it, it is a couple of very sharp talking heads who talk nothing but sports for 30 mins each day on ESPN. Today, they spent a full 2 minutes talking about Woody and his eye poking problem. Wilbon, a huge Big 10 homer who always sticks up for us, had nothing but negative things to say about Fran and Woody. Called Fran a well known "bully" with a volatile temper (it didn't help that they showed a clip of the press conference where Fran refused to respond to a question about the 3rd poke, calling it an unintelligent question). Wilbon suggested that if the Big 10 does not step in, the next team we play bring out one of their linebackers to give Woody a taste of his own medicine prior to the start of the game. All players who were poked were defenseless and not even moving at him.
While I have been on the fence in determining whether or not the 3 pokes were intentional, the guys on PTI brought up a persuasive point...the guys Woody poked just happened to be the very best guys on the teams he faced. Against Wisko, he poked a guy who is perhaps the best player in the nation. Against Maryland, he poked a guy who was single handedly taking us on.
It will be interesting to see if a suspension occurs.
