Peyton Manning leaves his receiver vulnerable...Joey Kent, meet Lawrence Wright.

Are the penalties working? Would be curious to take a look at the data from the last 15 years or so…

It would be impossible to tell because of how much harder they work to detect head injuries now. 15 years ago you had guys getting in the wrong huddle and they wouldn’t take them out.

My favorite was when Radio hit the LSU RB at Tiger Stadium. Put him on the bench trying to make sense of who was driving that truck.

I like big hits but when I think he might be dead after a hit I don't enjoy it very much.

These new hits are twice as clean, half as hard, and the players cry twice as much.

That announcer said it was a clean hit shoulder pad to shoulder pad. What a moron. Helmet to face more like it. Most have been aggie announcers.

The other teams wouldn't even take them out of their huddles; they didn't give a shite.

Those hits are dime a dozen.

Here is a UT dback laying the wood to a receiver who earned the name 'snotbubbles' after this play.

Players said later that he had snot bubbles coming out of his nose after the hit lmao.

Okie needs to get used to this kind of thing. This ain't the B12 anymore.

Nothing wrong with physical football. I probably like it more than most, based on gameday experiences with my buddies. But the headhunting had to stop and it has and that doesn't have anything to do with what we are witnessing today. All these spread teams and zone-read offenses are creating more finesse teams. The old expression, playing in a phone booth, is not what we are seeing that often anymore.

Getting back to targeting as we know it and as it's being officiated, the assassin headshots are mostly regulated out of college football. The unfortunate byproduct is that it's always a judgment call and some refs have more judgment than others. But I'm still thrilled to see the CHEAPSHOTs and dumb azzes thrown out of these games.

This is one of the best "choreographed" highlight reels of all time, set to a perfect song for the occasion - even if it was pre-Saban at Bama! Lots of solid hits every time you hear BOOM.


2005 Bama highlights - BOOM

Incidentally, I was at that 2005 Florida game which Bama won 31-7 I think. Quite possibly the loudest I have ever heard Bryant-Denny stadium, and that was before some upper deck additions.

That didn't look like a fumble.

That’s a good hit and a football play.

I didn’t like Skalski’s style of playing where he was actively trying to hurt someone every time he made a play. I don’t see the point in hitting someone hard for the sake of hitting hard as opposed to hitting them hard because of circumstance. That’s just hard headed old school boomer high school coaches preaching that shite. If Joe Burrow wasn’t a tough son of a bitch he would’ve been sidelined for the second half against Clemson because of Skalski’s unnecessary hit. Dude flat out tore his rib cartilage because he wanted to “make him feel it.” Stupid shite.

When the goal becomes more about hurting the players and less about winning the game I lose interest.

That's a nasty hit but is it really harder than the South Carolina kid who blew up the RB in the backfield and knocked his helmet into the bleachers?

Can't remember his name. I think the RB was from Michigan?


Google that shite before you post something that dumb again.
