Folks, there is a difference between a good hit or throwing a player backward and performing a suplex on him which might break his neck. It's called unnecessary roughness for a reason - because it'scompletely unnecessary and likely to lead to severe injury. I don't mean to be out of line, but could we move past whether it was OK or not? It was NOT OK. It was boneheaded and stupid and I believe Saban will rectify the situation. The kids out there playing are not gladiators or wrestlers. They have a lot of protective equipment, but none of it is designed to protect from that kind of a dangerous move.

If Saban had been upset about that play he would have pulled him out.

I think we call it that because its like the midline veer out of a wing T.

It does resemble that...

Maybe he left him in for the butt whoopin that he got 2 plays later?

Saban may not have seen the play...

Here's another video for those that still think it was a "clean hit"...

"Give and take" occurs throughout a game. It's what you get when competitive people compete -- sometimes you win a play, and sometimes you get beat.

As I've indicated before, the sparring over this call is going to stop. We know what the officials thought of the move. If there's action by the league, we'll know that Monday or Tuesday. There's nothing to be gained from going around in circles about it tonight. The very next post on it draws a suspension...

Dave Matter, Columbia Tribune, is on twitter reporting that trainer said Waters underwent CT scan, was normal. Having an MRI. All precautionary.

Good news. I suspect it'll turn out to be a fairly bad concussion...

Look guys, Earle's been cool and has simply deleted two posts without nuking folks, but this is the line. You better read before responding - the man said we're done discussing the Fanning tackle for now.

Thanks, CA. Tempers seem to be a bit high for a rational discussion tonight. We'll open it back up the first part of the week when we see what the league action, if any, is on the matter...

Sorry. After I posted my comment, I saw Earle's post above and tried to delete mine but he's pretty fast. :blush:

So, what did we learn tonight?
Where do we need improvement?

We need Saban to learn how to stop lightning from occurring.

Hard to believe how much that delay changed the game...

Undoubtedly my favourite thing of the coverage was the ridiculous map they showed to illustrate 'how far Jesse had come'. I will excuse the not getting Brisbane in the right spot, but it was hilarious to see the suggestion that rather than fly over the pacific ocean to the US, that he flew across the Middle East and Europe to get to the States. If you did it like that...now that is a looong trip. Roll Tide.
