OT- Am I the only one who notice Cook snatch his trophy from Archie with no respect at all?

[yesrutgers01]

Last night, as C. Cook was getting his trophy from the legendary Archie G- he snatched that damn thing so hard, fast and dismissive that it was almost shocking. Was it excitement or just a case of once again, a current player having no clue to the past or history?

Saw that as well. He certainly didn't deserve it; that was as poor as he played all year- understood he was not 100%. Should have gone to Scott.

Agreed. Scott should have gotten it.

I saw that, and I thought WTF? He seems like a good guy, and he was very much into the stands with his family--saw him go back twice to get hugs from his family. But I thought he was going to hip check Archie out of there.
Cook addressed this already--He gave a very sincere apology.

I think Cook was in a hurry to thank and direct attention to the OL. He couldn't thank them fast enough and mentioned that the last drive had something like 22 plays and only one wasn't a run. Archie looked like a Munchkin next to Cook and I think the reach and height gap made things look worse. Its not like Griffith was just going to pass the thing over laterally as usual

I'd bet Cook doesn't even know who Archie Griffin is!

Being that it's on deadspin, no.

yes,
Click the link to the story and apology--scroll down to the 5th story and it's right there. It wasn't what it appeared to be, and Cook handled it well after he realized how bad it looked. But you definitely weren't the only one to see it that way--he took a beating for it.

Cook apologizes
