And for his troubles gets injured anyways.South Carolina starting right tackle Justin Sorensen has been held out of practice this week after getting injured during a fight at a St. Patrick's Day party.Now, I hate to rip on the kid for doing the right thing by not fighting. That's admirable. Especially since Sorensen is listed at 6'7" and 323 pounds, and probably could have ripped the guy apart. So, just consider this some friendly advice.
Sorensen, 20, was hit over the head with a beer bottle at a downtown Columbia restaurant Saturday as he turned to walk away from a fight with 25-year-old Christian Ernest Beyer, according to a police report.
If you are that big and someone is that blitzed that they still want to fight you, turning your back on the guy is not the smartest decision. It may not be as cool and may even look like backing down just a little, but never turn away from a drunk who wants to fight. Back away first. Get a little distance, then you can turn and go.
