Western Carolina is/was a dirty team
- Thread starter ALA2262
- Start date
There were plenty of punches thrown and players shoved to the ground after plays that didn't make it on tv or get flagged. Maybe it wasn't dirty, but they sure do have sportsmanship problems

No, they're not. However, it's a rivalry game, so there may be the late hits OOB and hitting the QB late, plus the usual anxiety penalties, offsides and the like. But I don't expect the cheap shots to the knees and the "attitude" type stuff the WCU guys did out of an inferiority complex. Also, I don't think the AU staff actually coaches chops, and I think the WCU guys were. Despite what their coach said later, they performed a lot of moves which carried a high percentage chance that our guys would get injured. And they succeeded...
I remember lurking on their board in '09. They knew their chances of winning were low, so they (some of them) openly advocated injuring Ingram so we wouldn't go on to win the SECCG and BCSNC.
Fairly was the dirtiest player I ever watched play college football even worst than the thugs at Miami during their run.
i think we give a lot of attention to this.
i don't think we will see WC again at BDS.

Also, remember, Western Carolina was the team we were playing in 2004 when Brodie Croyle went out for the season with a horrid injury. That night, we went from a possible 9-3 team to a 6-6 team due to what happened in that game.
Yeah, but they didn't injure him--he was scrambling and his knee just buckled.
Where is this "University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa" stuff coming from? It is the University of Alabama. Had this discussion with an aubie this weekend.
Also, with the recent whining from the UAB followers about how the U of A is holding them back I don't care to help them with anything. I noticed that most of the people that are complaining the most about UAB not getting their own stadium are aubies, If they want to support another FBS school in the state then let them start a program at AUM.
O
The awbies think they are insulting us by referring to us as UAT so others can differentiate us from UAB and UAH. What they seem to forget is they have AUM, so based on their reasoning, the barn should be called AUA.
Oh, okay. I couldn't recall right off how he got injured that night. I just remember being super ticked off at Shula for not pulling him out of the game much sooner!
I was super ticked off about him excusing him from the weight room.Oh, okay. I couldn't recall right off how he got injured that night. I just remember being super ticked off at Shula for not pulling him out of the game much sooner!
I called them IBP for Institute of Bovine Proctology. They didn't like that to well.
A chop is far dirtier than targeting, IMO. It carries a higher potential for long-term, perhaps career-ending injury. And as others have already pointed out, a targeting violation is usually spur of the moment, while chop-blocking is premeditated, and involves at lease two colluding players.
In the case of at least one of the chops saturday, it involved three: the center went high while both guards went low. That is an obvious 3-on-1 attempt to injure and remove a player from the game. IMO, all three players should be ejected for that sort of cheap move. In a game that they had no chance of winning, no less. Absolutely bush league. And it had to have been coached.
Who knows? Do I know what is in the contract? No. Do you know what is in the contract? No. Do the refs know what is in the contract? No.
This is the Only time you will ever hear me say this... Alabama needs to do something the barn does, play Alabama A@M... the barn played them a few years ago. With Alabama A@M being inside Alabama and a lot of there players or from Alabama I feel A@M players would respect and be proud to play a game inside Bryant Denny Stadium. Not to mention they propably would not try to hurt our players on purpose.
You mean cut blocks right? Most triple option teams use legal cut blocking. Look at GT
