Following the scuffle, Mullen was seen entering the tunnel before throwing his hands up in the air in an apparent attempt to hype up the crowd. And it clearly worked.

Just saw the replay of the Florida/Missouri halftime brawl - lol'd at all of the low-numbered players milling around in the back while the 70's 80s and 90s went at it.

I know it is over a football game, but if that Missouri-Florida brawl isnโ€™t an example of the state of tension in our country right now, I donโ€™t know what else is.

If multiple players from that #Florida #Missouri game arenโ€™t suspended for the ENTIRE SEASON then the #NCAA is a joke! It was full on bar room brawl with HUNDREDS of punches thrown. Some of them should be done done. #cfb

Most fight Iโ€™ve seen in this time slot of games is this Florida Missouri halftime brawl.

I don't have access to the game from home, so I'm not sure if this happened or not, but after seeing video of the brawl between Florida and Missouri, perhaps every player on each team should get an unsportsmanlike conduct, just to simplify things.
