What was this about? Donovan and Fickell

Appears he was trying to get uncle Donny arrested? WTF?
Strange. Did they exchange sharp words with each other? The cop rushing and grabbing Donovan's arm is truly weird.
Is that a cop from Wisconsin or a Lincoln cop? If it's a Lincoln cop get him the f out of Memorial Stadium. You don't grab the oline coach from behind after our best offensive performance in years. Know your place.
Donnie clearly has ties to Wisconsin, which makes it even more strange.

That's what I hate. Cops can do that bullshit and get away with it. Cop deserved to have his nose broke. No need for that.
Looks like Donovan said something to Fickel as he passed by and it annoyed the cop. Lincoln police need to provide a statement on this. The cop looks pissed.
They were just discussing Thanksgiving plans.
I hope this goes viral and we do indeed get an explanation. Most teams bring their own protection for the coach. Could be a Wisconsin cop. F him either way.
What could he have possibly said that would justify the cop pulling his arm from behind? Threatening Luke Fickell?
Probably never know but you can see Donavan point at him when he says something. Cop must have thought it was bad enough to check out.
No thanks. That cop could have handled that way better. That's that kind of nonsense that leads to problems when you come up on someone like that in a somewhat chaotic situation. Unnecessary drama.
Pretty sure it a creative difference of opinion on the best chicken gifs.

Wouldn't matter. Lame ass Barry and Wisconsin will probably lobby for him to be arrested.
This is bizarre. Both coaches said something and both kept walking their separate ways. What the hell is a cop doing running over and scolding (or worse) someone.
Those aren't Lincoln cops, this is what their shoulder patch looks like. Probably Wisky campus police.
Good thing that Barney Fife wasn't on security detail during the Pelini years. He would have called in a SWAT team.
And if you pause the video, Raiola gave him a thumbs up, not the middle finger.

My guess is he used the wrong pronouns. Maybe Fickell identifies as a winner and was called a loser.
And yet, the cop and Donnie were shaking hands at the end of the exchange
If so, I like him more. I am ready for us to be the bully.
All I know is, grabbing a person's arm and spinning them around is a good way to start a brawl. I've seen it in movies many times.
I hope that cop never gets assigned to bar district duty in Madison OR Lincoln.

It appears to me fickle said something first and Donnie responded
We must be watching different clips. Yeah, the cop grabs his arm, but the whole thing looked cordial by the end, to me. Not seeing broken-nose-worthy…anything. Context and words would be helpful.

Looks like Fickel sent the cop over to Donnie, after Donnie mouthed back at him. That is some soft ass shit.
But Donnie’s OL did assault Fickel’s poor defense all afternoon.

Yeah, that's how I normally deliver a friendly message to someone I pass. By chasing them down and yanking their arm, then getting in their face. I didn't see a lot of laughing and hugging after. Cop was an asshole and should be treated as such.
And F Wisconsin.
if you look closely fickle taps the police officer, to be aware, then both fickle and the officer look a someone behind raiola, then raiola points and the police deploy..a case of mistaken identity and trigger happiness..maybe it time to be a mall cop
Fickel is 0-2 in Lincoln. I like him as the Badger’s coach.
never understood why Wisconsin hired him...alveraz copied NU's running oline style to some degree...probably some thing to do with weather too..the fickle I know was pass happy with a gun slinger at cinninati..probably just because he was the hot coach at the time..
speaking of cold weather, when is the last time is snowed during a NU game? (not to be a global warming freak)
Michigan State a few years ago I believe we won 9-6
