VIDEO: Jeff Peterson Is Bad At Making New Friends

by Adam Jacobi on Dec 20, 2010 7:30 AM CST in Iowa Hawkeyes Basketball

So here's a chat transcript from just a little bit ago:

HS: Is the Arkansas Jeff Peterson formerly our Jeff Peterson?
me: Yep
me: Wait, what'd he do?
me: I'm assuming it's bad
HS: Started a bench clearing brawl against A&M
me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yep, sure enough, here's Jeff Peterson hip-checking an unsuspecting Aggie and causing an extreme difference of opinion between the two teams early in the second half

Now, we won't get into drawing this into a larger point about Todd Lickliter or his judgment of character or anything like that; Peterson never pulled anything like that at Iowa, and it's not like he dropped old dude with a right cross or anything. He just tried to be the Derek Jeter of basketball, and whether he succeeded probably depends on your opinion of Derek Jeter.

Still, it's nice to see old Hawkeyes making headlines, even if their stay in Iowa City wasn't what they wanted. We still see you, Jeffy Pete. Can we call you Jeffy Pete? No? Yeah, good point, lousy nickname. Sorry!

All I know now is that bench clearing brawls in basketball are like tea-sipping contests compared to such brawls in hockey.

Vastly more memorable than Jon Crispin's UCLA career.

Action starts at ~2:20 with a boot-to-the-head at 2:33. Still, hockey it is not. Although the presence of kick attacks has got to make it rougher than basketball. Baseball too, maybe?

Only if the baseball players leave their bats in the dugout.

Also, the chewing gum. Have you ever had chewing gum spat in your eye?

But, yes, hockey is pretty much the best sport ever. Even if Probert was juiced.

Those guys off the bench kick like they think they're Bruce >ee.

They go for like some flying kick bullshit and barely touch whomever they’re trying to assault. Damn “football” sissies!

So what if I tailgate to the NPR jazz station?

Mostly because it involves one of the best to ever play the game, and one of the most high profile teams in the sport. That, and the flying scissor kick at the end make it totally worth it
