If you please and only for my information, would you kindly give a brief recap of the attempted murder? This is the first I have heard of it. Who? What? Where? And When?

Fabiano Hale? But that was almost 10 years ago

Possible that it was swept under the rug. Sounds pretty serious and, yet, handled "internally"? Yeah, I plum fergot about this. Fabiano seemed to bounce back positively.

I must agree with Rashaverick, though, this was clearly more than "rough play." Assault and battery most certainly, while, IMHO, "attempted murder" may need more facts to support such an allegation.

I didn't remember it so I looked up. It looked like just a targeting and not an attempted murder.

However I did remember this after the play.

Like the comment: "Spirit of Troy?"

Yeah, "just targeting," but targeting from the coach with an "enforcer" brought in to take the penalty beef as in hockey. Yeah, kind of reminds me of the Eagles "just rough play" with the 49ers.

Fortunately, the Trojans will get plenty of pushback in the B!G. It's a shame we don't do more of that ourselves, like payback hit batters in baseball.
