I'd addressed this in the comments Saturday, but I've gotten enough e-mails and there's been enough talk about appropriate fan behavior that I figured I'd post something here about FIU's students in the end-zone seats cheering "Bulls--t" while two USF players lay injured on the field in Saturday's game.

The cheer came from the same corner of the stadium where the press box was, but watching ESPNU's broadcast, the cheering was clearly picked up by the network's microphones. Two minutes after their collision on the field, as linebacker Brouce Mompremier and safety Carlton Williams were being addressed by trainers on the field, the cheer started. You hear the word 11 times before fans had the sense to stop, and ESPNU's broadcasters addressed the behavior: "The crowd in the end zone is saying something perhaps they shouldn't," play-by-play man Doug Bell understated.

Moments later, after the two teams met at midfield for prayer in a remarkable showing of sportsmanship and perspective, color analyst Charles Arbuckle came back to the cheering, calling it "totally uncalled for" and "totally insensitive." Again, it's not the first time you've heard inappropriate cheering following an injury and unfortunately won't be the last.

Williams was helped off the field but later returned to the game; Mompremier was taken to a hospital with a neck injury but has since cleared CT and MRI tests on his neck and returned to Tampa. He's expected to miss at least two games, with the timetable for his return still unknown.
