Wow, aren't we being a bit sensitive here? I hope they look at this a little closer and drop it. The guy was just looking to get to the locker room and thought the official that he pushed was just a fan grabbing at his shirt. Dude's suffering enough after 5 straight losses... But I'm sure right now he's on board with Sooners in screaming, "Fuck Texas"... lol

It was dark enough in there that it's possible that he didn't know who the guy was. And if that "push" is what they're talking about, they need to grow some thicker fucking skin. WEAK!
This isn't the NFL though... Let's see how many NFL ref's are shoved aside if they are wearing black, blending in with a crowd, and pulling at jersey's while players come out of a dark, crowded tunnel. There's a reason fans and players are separated, Wolf. The Texas boys either need to turn on the lights and introduce the players to the official's before entering, or they need to grow some thicker skin...

If the guy had hands all over him it might be more justified. The guy was doing his job though. Surprising dick move by Jardine.

The official that Jardine pushed has spoken on the incident. He (Official Steve Armstrong) says that he thinks that Keith was just "zoning", "caught up in the moment" as he was preparing for a big fight. He also says if it were up to him he would have let it go without further thought.
Keith will still have to go before a panel before having his license reinstated. I can't imagine with the official making these statements that it should be turned down though. Depends on how big of a hard-on the TDLR has as far as making a point I guess...

Trigg has been stopped twice, not 40 times. The rest of those fighters I am sure athletic commissions really look twice at now a days. When was the last time Ken fought stateside?

Ummm Jardine has lost 5 in a row BUT, only 2 of those are via KO and the latest was a split decision. Hell his last 2 losses were decisions. Triggs last 2 fights? KO'd in the 1st round in both....I'm just sayin.
