Western Carolina is/was a dirty team

They would not be paying for a call. They would be paying for an injury.

It depends how it's being looked at.

It depends how you look at it.

They were flagged for a late hit out of bounds.

Alabama gets those every once in a while, too. Does Alabama play dirty?

Please note that I am not saying that I am right and you guys are wrong - we just disagree.

Bottom line...one chop block, injury or not, is enough to never schedule these clowns again. They didn't stand a chance and pull stunts like they did.

we are responsible for some injuries too because Vogler never should've been in when he was hurt and Cam should've been held out as a precaution too.

I'm of the opinion that if they are ejecting players for targeting, the chop block should carry a stiffer penalty as well. It's a dirty play and usually very intentional.

I was in the corner of the south end zone, I had a good view of the hit on Coop. I thought the hit was not only low, but late as well. Coop had stepped out of bounds prior to being hit.

If we quit playing every team that stretches the rules or teams that chop block, we would probably only play a six game schedule.

I'd also make the chop block a 30 yard penalty that is an automatic ejection that is reviewable just like targeting. If we really want to make the game safer then that move has GOT to go. PERIOD!

That is significant enough for me. My friend and called about several others before I started paying attention. I think there were more than (2).

Again, why do we support out of state schools who do this?

We should keep the money in state and give UAB a game.

Other than the two chop blocks, I did not see any signs of dirty play. They were not hitting late, and they were not continuing the action after the play was dead. They did go low many times in the game, but every small player does this when faced with a much bigger player - even in the NFL.

The Cam Robinson injury was an accident - a player rolled on his ankle. The Cooper injury was an accident - normal tackle, low on a much bigger player. Fowler, Stewart and Vogler injuries were just football play injuries and not related to even low hits. Only A'Shawn's injury can be attributed to an illegal or dirty play.

Well, for each CHOP BLOCK, deduct $150,000. For each unsportsmanlike conduct, deduct another $100,000 for each. If true I'm not sure they could have afforded to use local school district Yellow School Buses from Carolina to Tuscaloosa. They would also have had to set up tents in a park in Tuscaloosa or requested that they be able to set them up in the cemetery across from Bryant-Denny. They would not be able to afford to stay in a hotel. They would have to eat at a Burger King or McDonald's or maybe Coach Saban would donate some Little Debbies!

Now, I do oppose this. I don't think this would be a positive move in any way for the University of Alabama in/at Tuscaloosa. All negative
consequences for scheduling this game! I would rather play Jacksonville State, Troy, Alabama State, Alabama A & M or South Alabama. However, all of these would adversely affect our recruiting. Why should the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa help build their program? It would only adversely affect the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa.

Can you just see a home and home with UAB! Never! Can you see a home and home with any of them! Never!

I enjoyed going to Legion Field many decades ago, but NEVER again.

What did FSU do to build up their program under Bobby Bowden? He scheduled BIG Name teams on the road like at Nebraska, et al. Let UAB do the same thing, but with teams out of state like Nebraska, Notre Dame, Michigan, maybe Florida State, et al. Maybe after they are successful in doing so maybe they can fill a new 40,000 seat stadium and play the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa only until they have a 85,000 to 100,000 seat Dome in B'ham.

I don't know if you're thinking home and home (never happen) or just to pay them. However, the deal wouldn't make the financial sense that out of conference easy games do, simply because the viewers from B'ham are overwhelmingly Bama fans. A school which barely averages a few thousand at home games is not going to bring the 10-20K we get with OOC teams, and even those who come are going to turn around and drive back to B'ham, not hang around and pay for lodging, food etc. in T-Town.Just a fact of life...

I was thinking Bama pay them for one game in Tuscaloosa. I think UAB could sell 10-15k tickets against a team like Bama. Most students there are Bama fans anyway, so they would jump at the chance to buy tickets plus the 5-10 k UAB fans. I think you would see a clean game like UAB has had in the past with other SEC teams.

Just one game in Tuscaloosa. UAB will never be able to compete with Bama. I would just like to see Bama help out their sister school instead of helping these out of state FCS schools.

I think you hit on something here. Most if not all UAB fans are Bama fans so what enjoyment would there be in this game?

I could agree with that. Chop block has higher risk of injury than targeting.

You have to expect that from a lesser team & is part of the game against weaker teams..The worse team in recent memory to me was Georgia Southern when it came to them using chop blocks by their O-Line..
