Fans pelt Notre Dame players with snowballs

The Notre Dame student section is experiencing an early winter of discontent and let it shower down on the Irish players following yesterday's shocking loss to an absolutely awful Syracuse team.

Fans at first threw snow in the air, but then quickly switched to tossing snowballs toward the Notre Dame sideline. Defensive lineman Ian Williams got hit in the helmet, defensive end Ethan Johnson was struck on the left cheek and a St. Joseph County police officer on the sideline looking into the crowd got hit in the chest. An NBC camera man also was a frequent target and several snowballs reached the field, although none landed near where play was occurring.

Listen - it's never OK to throw anything at players, coaches, or anyone. Period.

Besides... the Notre Dame guys probably couldn't catch 'em, anyway.
