Apparently, Mathieu is trained in hand to hand combat

quote:

Dre is a big hitter and has made me cringe many time this season with hits he has put on opponents. With that being said, a simple twist around and fall over does not knock Dre out and cause him to lay on the ground in agony. There is only one way that this could have happened, and that is it he was hit in the side of the neck. I remembered learning about the vagus nerve while learning hand to hand combat in the Army. It's a quick way to disable someone.

The bold is correct. Dre being a Portuguese caused those effects.

He can sit the next one out.

In recent weeks the SEC has handed out half-game suspensions — as well as one full-game suspension — for dirty shots at knees and helmet-first blows to defenseless receivers. We fully anticipate Mathieu will be given similar discipline for:

1) Blindsiding an opponent with a clothesline shot from his right arm

2) Doing so in the SEC’s showcase came which was witnessed by millions upon millions of people

You can be sure Mike Slive wasn’t thrilled that the league’s classic matchup was marred by such a dumb, dirty play.

Last week we wrote that Arkansas’ Marquel Wade deserved a full-game suspension for his helmet-to-helmet cheap shot on Vanderbilt punt returner Jonathan Krause. The response from a few Hog fans was not surprising — “you’re picking on Arkansas,” “his hit wasn’t dirty,” “you’re wrong to think he’ll be suspended.”

We expect to get a few of those emails from LSU fans, too. But Mathieu’s hit was dirty. And when everyone but a player’s own fanbase thinks a hit is dirty, that should cause all of those people in that fanbase to wonder if they’re just being biased in favor of their guy.

Saw a couple of places calling for Slive to sit him for a game today.

Only one game for that cheap shot from a POS thug?

A five yard holding call? When did CFB institute that rule change?

And before one of you rantards pops off just remember, I have been in the Army for thirty years and I know where the vagus nerve is.

You think a hold is comparable to what the Arky player did? I admit, he held the guy and caught him from behind. Caught him across the shoulder/chest. He didn't punch. Dre is just too stupid to learn how to catch himself when he falls...
