    Made the front page of Reddit.

    Edit - this video is going viral and will most likely spread to larger sources. Supposedly there were football players there. I guess we'll see what happens (if anything.)

    Re: Way to represent...

    "After Oregon wide receiver Josh Huff took to Twitter Friday morning to organize a snowball fight outside the EMU, he moved the location of that bout to the fields next to the Rec Center. Not everyone got the memo. As of 1:10 p.m., there was still a sizable snow war happening outside the Erb Memorial Union. Here’s a spot of video from the event"

    Did you guys watch the video?

    It's not about the snowball fight. It's about blocking traffic and then pelting people with snowballs and dumping bins of snow on them when they get out of the vehicle. Not allowing them to leave.

    I actually saw his name mentioned in the thread on Reddit before it was deleted per their rules on personal information.

    I didn't want to believe he was involved. That sucks.

    A lot of student athletes were chiming in on Reddit, pointing out that they knew most of the guys in the video and that the football players are entitled assholes. Really sucks that it ended this way.

    Boy, that escalated quickly... I mean, that really got out of hand fast.

    Brick killed a guy. Did you throw a trident?

    I am changing my mind on MH.

    Suspending guys before the bowl game = setting up an excuse to lose. I'm afraid Targus is right about him.

    lol give me a break... and if Helfrich doesnt suspend him, then its "Helf doesnt have the balls Chip did, and you can smell how desperate Helf is to not lose, thats why he isnt suspending anyone"

    The Canzano/Quick types will find an excuse to bash the program over this anyway. It is pointless to pander to people you can't please anyway. Helfrich should have put the team first and found an alternative way to deal with this. If he was a leader that had the respect of his players, he wouldn't need to over-react to a freaking snowball fight!
