criticalfanatic posted 2/29/2008 from FanIQ.com

During the final moments of the USC-Arizona Pac-10 battle a University of Arizona douchebag scholar decided it'd be a good idea to throw a water bottle in the vicinity of the Southern California bench. Hilarity ensued, if of course, you find this scolding speech and apology by Kevin O'Neill funny.

Lebron James Youngest to 10,000 Points, Attitude Afterwards Even More Impressive

criticalfanatic posted 2/28/2008 from FanIQ.com
