Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher's nephew Cole allegedly punched an LSU staffer in the pacemaker after Saturday's dramatic OT win
Fallout from Texas A&M's dramatic overtime win over Louisiana State on Saturday has continued into this week as Cole Fisher, the nephew of Aggies head coach Jimbo Fisher, was identified as the person who punched Tigers administrative assistant Steve Kragthorpe in his pacemaker during a post-game skirmish.
The fight began after the whopping 72-72 tie was broken in the seventh overtime when Texas A&M wide receiver Kendrick Rogers overcame severe cramps in his calves to haul in a two-point conversion from Aggies quarterback Kellen Mond.
A former Tigers assistant, Texas A&M wide receiver coach Dameyune Craig allegedly began talking trash to the LSU coaches immediately following the win, which is how the fight began, according to The Baton Rouge Advocate.
Kragthorp, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, was punched by someone wearing a maroon Aggies shirt and later identified to The Advocate as Cole Fisher, Jimbo's nephew, who serves as an undergraduate football student manager at Texas A&M.
According to The Advocate, Kragthorp was examined and is OK.
The 53-year-old Kragthorpe told The Daily Advertiser that he has a pacemaker in his chest, which stimulates his brain. He claimed Cole made direct contact with the pacemaker when he punched Kragrhorpe.

'Out of nowhere, I got nailed,' Kragthorpe told The Daily Advertiser. 'I didn't go down, but I clutched over. I was like, "Damn, he got me right in my pacemaker." Then it started fluttering like he jostled it.'
He told the Daily Advertiser that he would see his neurologist in Baton Rouge on Monday, and said he has no plans to press charges.

Kragthorpe also said that it was Craig who started the skirmish.
'Dameyune Craig started the whole thing,' Kragthorpe told The Daily Advertiser. 'Just trash talking and yelling and screaming a bunch of crap.'
'I went up to Dameyune and said, 'Hey, Dameyune get out of here. You won. You don't need to be doing that. Move along.' And that's when I got hit. I mean, I got nailed. He was a young guy. I'm 53. I'm not going to fight him. I have Parkinson's, but even if I didn't, I haven't gotten in a fight since high school. That would be a poor reflection on Coach O and Joe (athletic director Joe Alleva).'
In a statement, Texas A&M confirmed the school does have an undergraduate assistant named Cole Fisher, but could not confirm if he was involved in the incident. Jimbo Fisher's brother Bryan, himself a football coach, has a son named Cole, according to several bios.
There is a chance that Texas A&M could be fined as much as $50,000 because the team's fans stormed the field after the thrilling overtime win on Saturday in College Station, Texas
Video from the end of the altercation emerged on social media, but the initial incident does not appear to have been captured.
Craig had been fired by LSU when the Tigers' head coach Ed Orgeron was promoted from interim head coach in November of 2016.
Cole Fisher was recorded shoving LSU assistant Kevin Faulk, a former Tigers running back who went on to win three Super Bowls as a member of the New England Patriots. Faulk responded by pushing Cole Fisher before the two were separated.

The two were separated, but Cole Fisher was then recorded running up to Fisher as he walked off the field into the tunnel. From his hand motions, Cole appeared to be explaining what had just taken place to his uncle.
After a 5-6 campaign in his final season with Florida State last year, Jimbo Fisher signed a 10-year, $75 million contract with the Aggies. The 53-year old's brother, Bryan, was previously the offensive coordinator at Fairmont State University.
An SEC spokesperson told the Advocate that the conference has been in contact with both programs about the incident.
There is a chance that Texas A&M could be fined as much as $50,000 because the team's fans stormed the field after the win, according to Vincent.
Cole played high school football in West Virginia, where the older Fisher brothers were born, and previously signed a letter of intent to play at Glenville State College, a Division II school in West Virginia.
According to The Advocate, Cole Fisher never ended up playing at Glenville.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
