I'm not looking at this as a Bama fan dude, i'm looking at this as a college football fan. Like I said, flag for helmet to helmet but no suspension. Murray had an opportunity to make a play there.

I don't think Dial being out of the NC game would matter in the least so I'm not at all worried about the impact of a suspension, there wouldn't be a drop off without Dial.

Also, let me know what Goode's opinion is. I always liked that dude, he used to come on the OD alot.

Rocky Goode said that he should be suspended and said the referee had admitted to making the mistake of not throwing the flag.

I don't like the idea of league commissioners handing out suspensions like this. However, if you are not consistent with the punishment, then you are opening up a huge can of worms.

BTW, Goode indicated that it DID NOT matter whether it is an offensive or defensive player - the rule pertains to a "defenseless player"

This is a case of don't blame the messenger, blame the message. :shrug:

The SEC head of officials is Steve Shaw. Shaw is a cum laude graduate of the University of Alabama. Assuming he is cool with it, too. Either that, or he is a pussy....lol

i couldn't care less if this is dial's first game or his last. Actions have consequences in my world. if the rule is no projecting at the head/neck of defenseless player, then then dial deserves to take a seat.

Elston projected himself at the receiver's chest to separate him from a td catch. Slive made a bad decision in suspending Elston and deserves criticism for selective enforcement of rules.

Yeah I don't see whether he is a walk on or a first round draft pick has anything to do with the rule set forth by the SEC.

The receiver was a defenseless player. That's the rule. Apples and oranges. I don't agree with it though.

Again, Define defneseless player... Murray had the potential to make a TD saving tackle on that play...he's not defenseless. It's not Dial's fault he had his finger up his ass.
15 yard helmet to helmet in my opinion.

That is what Rocky was trying to explain to the callers - a "defenseless player" doesn't matter whether it is offense or defense. That was what I wanted clarified.

I don't think it matters in the long run, but I also don't think Slive has the balls to do it.

Got all the info I could from Rocky:0008

Thanks for passing along Rocky's thoughts. He may still come on the radio down here but I never catch him on if he does...

Murray was the farthest player away from the play, think about that with your small menial mind. If that would have been anyone on the opposing team, you would be crying against anyone trying to hurt AJ. I hate bama fans....just hypocritical :lol:

No he wasn't. Watch the replay. He was within 5-7 yards of the tackle. I'm not crying about anything man lol. I think it should've been a 15 yard helmet to helmet. Show some class dude. I just want a definition of defenseless player

Shaw on radio down here said officials missed the call,,,However,he also said he has no control over suspensions nor does Slive ask him his opinion on that,,Slive is currently at awards banquets this week,and is not in office ,but some announcement should be coming soon,,Was it bad? yes,,should he be suspended? well,,hard for me not to be biased,,so I wont answer that,,What does tickle me though is people that question other peoples menial minds because the guy is for Bama??Just becasue the guy is for Bama should he not have his own opinion or should he just ask someone else to think for him???:toast:

That is a late hit on a defenseless player. Apples and oranges

I'm trying like hell to look at this objectively. I'm sure my glasses are a little tinted but I don't think I'm way off here.

If you can't see that it's a helmet to helmet hit then nobody can help you even if you are trying to look at it "objectively" which I seriously doubt.

Read my post man. I've said in 2-3 of them that it was helmet to helmet and should've been flagged. No question. Read my post and you'll understand what my argument is about

I think Betone is on to something:facepalm:

Guidelines in play here are 9-1-3 and 9-1-4 of the NCAA football rulebook.

Article 3 states that, ?No player shall target and initiate contact against an opponent with the crown (top) of the helmet.? Article 4 states that, ?No player shall target and initiate contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent with the helmet, forearm, elbow or shoulder.?
