I think it is long past time for the tortilla throwing to stop. Let me be clear on that.
But until someone produces a pocket knife, a photo of the pocket knife, a police report of a thrown pocket knife, or something like that, I'm calling BS on this.
The pocket knife thing sounds like BS because Leipold or whatever his name is likely knew that whining about tortillas would make him look like a puss.
So far this "pocket knife" accusation has had no one other than Leipold say it was thrown. One of his own assistants said they found it on the ground -- it didn't hit anyone or fly through the air toward anyone. Also by all accounts it was closed so it's not like a blade was flying around. If you read the KS newspapers their headlines talk about the "knife thrown at the Jayhawk sideline" as if someone hurled a butcher knife at them.
I'm not fan of their tortilla throwing thing -- seems a little silly to me -- but I really despise coaches who get their rear ends handed to them whining after the fact about the fans. It just reeks of a sore loser trying to take the focus off his team getting mauled.
