Here's a really funny story where a potential crisis has been averted.
Did you look at Stetson's pics from the fundraiser? One of them was a close up of Rob Trainor's bruised ear, with a caption of "Trainor's story involving an altercation with an OU football player did not end as ceremoniously as Schnieber's"
The picture:
Welllll......my friend Amy, who was going to come to the fundraiser from Athens but was ill, was looking at the pictures online this week, her boss looking along with her.
Did I mention her boss is the Athletic Director at OU? Yeah.
So two days ago, I get this email from Amy who needs to get ahold of Rob. The photo apparently opened up a big ol' can of worms at the Ath. Dept at OU and a full-scale investigation has insued....but alas, the culprit was discovered and found NOT TO BE A CURRENT OHIO U Football Player, so heads WILL NOT roll and according to Amy, a "Crisis has been averted"
As for the "ceremonious" end to Schniebers altercation with an OU football player you might be wondering about, I have to say - It was TWO OU football players, and as the legend goes, some trash talking esclated at the Cats Eye between Casey and two football players who I will not name (to protect the embarassed) - Although I recall the trash-talking was a one-sided effort on Casey's part....Comment's like, "Oh, you football players and all your time-outs....all your subs...short quarters...blah. blah. blah" can often be overheard in the football vs. rugby argument.
As the story goes - the conflict traveled all the way from the Cats Eye to the rugby pitch, (a good solid MILE away) where Mr. Schnieber set up lines in the snow and offered the football player to "Try and tackle me"...and anyone who has ever seen Casey run with a rugby ball - this is not an easy task, as the player found out.
I cant remember if Casey tried to tackle the guy - Casey help me out here? - But I can only assume that he crushed the guy
Football player #2 was only there to observe & neither has ever spoken of the event since. But one can deduct that the football players went home embarassed, and all they got out of it were Casey's shoes that they stole after the event. A sure sign of defeat.
My only real contact with this event was showing up at the Cat Eye that evening as Casey was leading the two out of the bar barking orders to "Lets go! Right Now!" and, "Just let me run home and get my cleats". No one in the history of OU scuffles has burned more calories in the process. Heres to you, Casey.
