SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Mem
bers of a Nebraska family who at
tended the Big 12 championship
game at the Alamodome claim they
were attacked by drunken Universi
ty of Texas-Austin fans who were an
gry that the Longhorns had lost.
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.
