Xavier President Father Michael Graham Allegedly Threw Holy Water On Rowdy Fans As The Crosstown Brawl Raged

This is too weird to believe if we hadn't received multiple tips about it, and here's WLW 700 host Bill Cunningham on yesterday's program relating that he, too, had heard about Xavier president Fr. Michael Graham's bizarre behavior during the brawl that broke out in the Crosstown Shootout.

Witnesses claim Graham was throwing water on Xavier fans—some saying it was holy water, though how you could tell the difference I don't know. It is intriguing to think about a university president scattering holy water on a crowd, muttering "The power of Christ compels you!" as they chant, "FUCK U-C!"
