Michigan State HC Mel Tucker Struck A Fan For Touching Him After Loss To Michigan
Mel Tucker's Michigan State program shouldn't be defined by the ugly violence it unleashed in the Michigan Stadium tunnel on Saturday night.
What comes next will do that.
In the moments after Michigan's 29-7 victory Saturday night, a group of Michigan State players punched, kicked and slammed around Michigan defensive back Ja'Den McBurrows as the teams headed toward their respective locker rooms. This was no fight. This was an attack, McBurrows, minus his helmet, vastly outnumbered, with nary a Spartan seemingly trying to stop the violence.
«I saw the one video, the 10-on-1,» Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said. «It's pretty bad.»
Well, it looks like it wasn't the only issue. Indeed, a video is circulating on social media showing Michigan State head coach Mel Tucker having an altercation with a fan who apparently touched his head as he walked into the tunnel after the Spartans' 29-7 loss to the Wolverines.
Tucker didn't address the altercation with the fan while speaking with the media after the game. But, he did issue a statement about the brutal tunnel fight involving his players, saying, «no excuse for behavior that puts our team or our opponents at risk.»
