| Quote: | COLUMBIA, S.C. -- South Carolina starting quarterback Blake Mitchell was arrested after a bar fight Wednesday and has been suspended from playing.
Mitchell was booked at Richland County jail for simple assault, a misdemeanor, police said. He was released Wednesday afternoon following a bond hearing and left the jail around 7:30 p.m. ET, avoiding reporters who waited for him at the main entrance.
A Columbia police report said the 21-year-old Mitchell punched Kylan Ertzberger in the left eye during a fight in a bar near the university early Wednesday.
Ertzberger told police Mitchell approached him about 1:45 a.m. and "initiated a verbal confrontation." Ertzberger told Mitchell "he did not like that the subject tried to enter [the bar] with underage girls."
After Wednesday's practice, coach Steve Spurrier said he wanted to wait for all the facts to come in before judging Mitchell's actions.
While suspended from playing, Mitchell will remain on the team, Spurrier said.
"I was disappointed he got into a little fight. If he was out with his girlfriend and he wasn't drunk or whatever ... that's what college kids do," Spurrier said. "I went to college once. But we were in before 1:30. In our day, 12 was a late night." |
Man, that is sad. These guys need to worry about football, instead of fighing in bars.
Now if he would have kicked the crap out of a Clemson player, I wouldn't have a problem. 
Guess we get to see what Chris Smelley has got. He looks to have the talent but he's so green.

It's really sad when kids are willing to throw away a scholarship over a bar fight.
