Blake Mitchell Fought the Law and the Law Won

As some of you may have heard by now, South Carolina quarterback Blake Mitchell was arrested early this morning at Pavlov's in Columbia. Apparently, Blake asked bouncer Kylan Ertzberger if he "liked him". Now, you would think this would be the point where the bouncer would kick Mitchell's ass. But no. Instead Ertzberger replied that he didn't have a problem with Mitchell, just a problem with Mitchell bringing underaged girls into his fine establishment (yeah, I was also surprised at the possibility of underage girls inside a college bar, too. I mean, who ever heard of such a thing?) When the bouncer turned his head, Mitchell allegedly punched him. Of course, as Paul Westerdawg noted, Mitchell actually took two swings, because his first attempt was picked off. PWD missed the fact that, as usual, Mitchell was then forced to leave the bar with a minor injury and was replaced by Chris Smelley. Also, Spurrier offered Ertzberger a scholarship and plans to move him into the rotation at left tackle.

USC student and bouncer Kylan Ertzberger. He came to Pavlov's to drink some beer and kick some ass. Blake Mitchell was lucky he got there before the beer ran out.

Spurrier suspended Mitchell immediately for what he called a "small fight". Funny, where I went to college punching a guy in the eye after he turned his back didn't really count as a fight. Instead I think we referred to those sort of tactics as, what was the word? Oh yeah, "chickenshit".
