OP....



.... and at #30 trying to strip the ball




Intense play, Fanning was definitely excited to be playing and getting a tackle. Not sure if it warrants a suspension, honestly don't think it was his intention to suplex the guy. Slive will suspend him though, just for PR.

Pretty heinous. Even by Nick Fairley standards.

I am old school and prefer the pre-pussy rules football, that being said in today's game he probably gets suspended.

This Link shows the play and Mizzou O-Linemen going after him on the 2nd play after the hit, glad to see though we got our asses kicked the players still had some fight left in them

He is third team, he will be suspended. Worse than any hit Fairley did, but Fairley has quantity.

i havent seen anyone mention that Fanning is like a foot taller and 110 pounds heavier than that RB.

its physics, my friends.


This. That play is not that uncommon and is usually not flagged. This time it looked so bad because the dude is 6'7". Having said that - I cringed watching it and hope he gets a one game just to send a message.

T Bell for Auburn did exactly this in 2010 and no one cared. He even caused a concussion when he did it.
TBell also was outsized by McElroy. Should have some say in the conversation if you want to compare the two.

yeah...TBell wasn't twice the size of McElroy. He was just trying to bring him down any way possible.

So you penalize the guy for being bigger? Yeah, that's fair.

Which has ZERO bearing on this situation. Both tackles were the same. Both were suplexes. One has everyone in a pussified tizzy.

If you watch the video closely, you see a second Bama player come in to assist on the tackle. That second player wrapped up under the runners legs and sent him over the top making it look a lot worse than it really was.

While this may be in bad taste and Fanning should be punished for this, I think this sends a message to all other teams in the conference.
