The incident started with heck ling and ended with a broken nose, a chipped tooth, a swollen jaw, bruises and cuts for the family mem bers, Don Losole Jr., 30, a San Anto nio food salesman, said. His father and three brothers were visiting from Omaha and at tended the game between Texas and Nebraska Saturday. The Losole family was seated in the Texas section and openly cheered for the Cornhuskers, wear ing red and white team colors amid a sea of Texas burnt orange. Taunts started immediately, but the tone turned meaner as Nebras ka closed in on its 22-6 victory, Losole said. “They were ranting and raving about how they wanted to beat us up,” he was quoted as saying in yesterday’s San Antonio Express- News. “It got worse with the alco hol. I’d say 90 percent of it had to do with alcohol being served at the Alamodome.” When the game ended and a physical confrontation seemed im minent, the Losoles hung back from the crowds leaving the stadi um in hopes of avoiding a fight, Losole said. The assailants waited for them at an exit, the family said. Somebody shouted, “We’re going to show you how to make a Texas sandwich,” according to the Losoles. “It was the scariest moment of my life,” Dave Losole, 29, Don’s brother, said. “They were ranting and raving about how they wanted to beat us up. 77 — Don Losole Allegedly beaten by a UT fan Dave Losole said he spotted a San Antonio police officer at a lower lev el wearing a full uniform and gun and asked him for help, but the offi cer brushed off his request, report edly telling him to “calm down.” As the Losole family tried to leave, the Longhorn fans rushed the group, the Losoles said. Both Losole brothers estimated about four or five Longhorn fans tackled each of them. Don Losole said he saw his 51-year-old father, get punched in the side of the head. Security guards broke up the melee, and police ordered the group to scatter but made no ar rests, Dave Lasole said. The family members later filed a report with police at Methodist Hospital. The police report classi fied the case as an assault with bodily injury. Raymond Roberts, a homicide detective who has worked securi ty at the Alamodome about six times, 'said police would not ig nore a plea for help. The Losole family first leveled the accusation in the Omaha World- Herald, saying a mob of about 15 Longhorn fans attacked them. The article set off a flurry of mes sages to the Nebraska newspaper’s Internet site. Some messages called Longhorns “classless” and cast a shadow over Texans in general. By late Sunday, the sparring be tween loyalists of both teams had spread to the Web pages of the Austin American-Statesman. Some Longhorns played down what they saw as a typical post game scuffle. Others were embar rassed by the allegations. Patricia Ohlendorf, vice presi dent for administration at UT, urged San Antonio police to inves tigate the matter. to punch AUSTIN (AP)—Steve:pee thing. 1 beat George W.
