Hey man, not so many hooligans this year. And usually the fights take place before the game, or are just fights, not taunts.

There’s a rule about not taunting, but there’s not one about not beating the crap out of each other?

The no taunting after the game rule is one that I follow in all cases, unless it involves BYU beating U of U. Then I taunt until U of U beats BYU.

Well, on my coverage here in Asia, there was a shot of a Ghanaian guy dressed up in what we’d normally think of as a stereotype of a tribal warrior – face painted like the Ghana flag, feathers, spear, little skirt, the whole thing. Talk about showing national spirit!

Actually, Tom, there’s an unwritten soccer rule that says “don’t taunt losing fans AFTER the game.”

“But you said no more painting.”

“No, I said no more face painting, and as you can see this is not my face.”
