I never have been able to understand why they look the other way...but then when someone gets hurt...everybody is up in arms...and you know what I'm talking about. Wasn't it Cam Cleeland, or something like that, who got hit with a bag full of coins and there was a big stink about it? I just don't understand.

It's called tradition and it was not physical other than being carried or escorted. I doubt that anything that could potentally cause injury would be allowed. Doused with cooler water and tied to a goal post...whooopie doo. Now if it was a beating or binge drinking or some type of extreme deal i'd say that would not in anyones interest. Other than that it's all fun and games.
