It was helmet-to-helmet

Eerily reminiscent of the last play of U-Dub/ND, which also should have been flagged.

Not a flag, just a wicked hit.

That’s a load of shit. Throwing a flag for knocking a kid out is horseshit. Get Sandeman some smelling salt and he’ll be fine. As they say in MMA, he got caught “on the button.”

I'll concede to the rule book.

But I think that’s a DB making a hit, and nothing more.

I'm with Dawson.

Football is a violent sport, and this is bound to happen. Sandeman’s limbs going stiff caused that flag, not the hit. Anyone who’s seen an MMA fight (Franklin-Quarry comes to mind) knows that it’s a “casualty of war.”

by The Mexican't on Oct 24, 2009 9:59 PM EDT up reply actions  

But the rule is designed to protect the player from the most serious injuries

even if it is a questionable hit, you have to make sure that player is never going to risk the life of another player with that kind of hit again. You want to make a devastating hit, do it like Scirrotto did to Swayne in the Outback bowl, not with risking the life of another player.

by dawsonPSU10 on Oct 24, 2009 10:05 PM EDT up reply actions  

I'll concede to the rule.

But I still don’t believe the Sparty DB lead with his helmet. It was scary, no doubt, but it was not intentionally dangerous. Football is a violent game. Hits like this will happen.

It'll likely come down to

the SEC Championship game. If they beat TEBOW, they’re championship game bound. If TEBOW wins, then there’s an outside chance (assuming we still win out).

I guess it all depends on who gets the NC game, which will open up at-large bids, so if Florida plays, let’s say USC in the NC game, that means an at large bid for the Cotton bowl (I think).

Also of note, if USC goes to the NC game, Iowa would likely face Oregon in the Rose Bowl. Wierd.

So yeah, if we win out, hope for Alabama, that would be really cool.

Listen to how USC is the best team again despite losing a game to an inferior opponent, or how the SEC and Tebow is the greatest ever.

Sounds like some Big Ten Refs at the FU/MSU game...

Of course, isn’t there inherently a conflict of interest to have SEC refs calling an SEC team, where the #1 team (with national title implications on the line – good for the conference) is getting pushed by an unranked team?

Yeah

There’s been a fair amount of mid-major hate on the blog this year, but I feel like this is going to be the bowl season where the BCS conferences really get rocked. I’m talking Boise State 28 – Iowa 17 in the Rose, TCU 35 – Texas 14 in the Fiesta. I’m not sure if those placements are possible, but damn the BCS conferences are average this year,

PITT is very good this year and may be for the next 2-3 years! They just lack a game controlling QB. The rest of the pieces are there.

ESPN did a good piece pre-season

on how the BCS conferences should operate more like some of the European soccer leagues — if you have a bad season you have to drop down to a lesser conference and earn your way back up with a winning record. Never gonna happen of course, but it’s fun to imagine…that and a playoff

Would have been a better piece ...

… if they hadn’t acted like it was actually an original idea (I’d seen better versions of the same idea kicked around on no fewer than three blogs before that). As horribly impractical as it is, it would be fun to have Illinois demoted to the MAC and replaced with CMU after this year. (Or maybe not. At least we can beat Illinois.)

One thing I just noticed, on replay

On our last touchdown — pretty much the backbreaker for Michigan — G. Zug made Donovan Warren his puppet on his endzone route. Warren is either not the All-American corner Michigan fans are hyping him to be, or Zug is the most underrated receiver in the league. Warren was barely within 5 yards of Zug when he made the catch.

I think its a little of column A and a little of column B.

Outside of Graham, who nobody will remember, its not wise to listen to anything Meatchicken fans hype. See also: Forcier, Minor, etc.
