From what I recall the only reason he didn't fight back was because he didn't want to give the uni a bad reputation as a classless school, which kinda sucks because we still got a bad rep either way.
Also he is a walk-on football player for UH, so it's no doubt he would have won that fight if he stepped up and took some swings.
Unfortunately in this day and age, we like unprovoked attacks and teabagging.
