Not a mention of Darwin Holt. This is a young crowd.

IDK your definition but inflicting brain damage on other players is dirtier than stepping on someones hand or twisting nuts in the pile.

Wild coming from an Auburn fan considering an Auburn OLineman literally dove at his knee from the side as to take him out on purpose. Even ole Tuberville agreed.

I'd like to say this about the chop block: those things happen. We do not teach it. We'll not teach it. We won't tolerate it," Tuberville said. "We want the officials to call those. That should have been a 15-yard penalty.

It was Hines Ward and it isn't close.

As a WR, I'm sure Hines Ward enjoyed blocking downfield.

But I don't ever recall him getting any personal foul penalties called against him in the SEC.

Per Google Gemini

Aaron Murray seemed to be on the wrong end of a lot of these dirty plays.

quote:

The peak of Fairley's "dirty" reputation came during the 2010 edition of the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry against Georgia.

The Chin Shot: Early in the game, Fairley drove the crown of his helmet directly into Murray’s chin, which drew blood and eventually required eight stitches under the quarterback's chin.

The Late Back-Spear: On another play, after Murray had already thrown the ball, Fairley drove his helmet directly into Murray's lower back/ribs while he was completely defenseless. The hit was so severe it left Murray with a fractured sternum and severe whiplash.

The Knee Dive: Fairley also delivered a diving hit directly to Murray’s knee after the ball was released.

Quinten Dial (Alabama, 2012): During the 2012 SEC Championship Game, Dial delivered a massive, blindside block directly to the chin of Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray (who seemed to be a magnet for these hits) after an interception.

Marquel Wade (Arkansas, 2011): Wade committed one of the most widely condemned cheap shots in SEC history during a game against Vanderbilt. He launched himself and leveled Vandy punt returner Jonathan Krause with a brutal helmet-to-helmet blow


All pretty bad

Who was that psycho TPOS Aub who tried to murder/ frick Bama’s kicker on the ground on the far sideline that one time? May not be the dirtiest play I’ve ever seen but definitely the weirdest. I still laugh at that. The refs were like “yeah that’s totally fine.”

Probably the dude from Bama that wasn't in the game but tackled a GT player, who was running down the sideline about to house one.


That was a Rice player running down the sidelines...

And the Bama player that tackled him was Tommy Lewis...
