It wasn't that he was defenseless as much as it was a blindside hit helmet to helmet. Dial headhunted Murray too. Wasn't even involved on the play and he sought him out.
It was a dirty play and he should have been suspended.
You can't say Murray wasn't involved in the play. He was running towards the ball and Dial hit him before Dix was tackled. Dix and Murray end up on the ground less than ten yards away from each other.
I'm not going to say there wasn't helmet to helmet contact, there obviously was, but it's clear to me Dial led with his right shoulder, not the top of his helmet/crown. The helmet contact happened because their heads were at about the same level and their momentum didn't stop at the shoulder. Does that warrant a penalty flag? Slive says it does. I have no problem with that. But deserving a flag doesn't mean he should have been suspended.

Whats lost on the bammers is elston initiated contact with his shoulder into the wrs chest........as he was in the process of catching the ball. It was a perfect form of a pass break up

An Ole Miss fan edited the Mike Slive Wikipedia page under "Controversy." They even went as far as getting the administrators of Wikipedia to let it stand. I think this is hilarious.
I have to admit that Slive did exhibit some serious hypocrisy in that case, especially considering that he failed to suspend a Vandy player in the SC-Vandy game that lead with his head on Justice Cunningham, and was flagged for a flagrant foul, yet he did not suspend the Vandy player.
Then, when DJ Swearinger led with his shoulder, as the replay clearly showed, against an ECU player the following week, and Swearinger was not flagged - Slive still suspended him for a vicious hit.
Slive should have never stepped-in and taken any action against any player if he was not intending to be consistent from the onset. It opens-up the league to too much criticism in that regard and it puts a target on our backs in OoC games.

Slive has a history of hypocrisy. Remember how he conveniently failed to enforce the SEC's own bylaws in the Newton case just before the Georgia game last year. At that time it looked like AU was the only SEC team that could make it to the BCSNCG (and the money that goes with it for the conference and his own bonuses).
At that time I thought he was a AU homer. But appears he's simply an SEC homer, though as an UGA fan I don't think the Dial hit was even a flag, let alone a suspension.
Murray's helmet recoiled forward and contacted Dial's because Murray's forward momentum was instantly stopped by a guy twice his size.

Slive is a horrible commissioner. With the success of the football teams and particular basketball teams, the Popsicle man could be SEC commissioner.
With that said, he has blatant Teacher's Pets, Alabama football and UK basketball. Slive would never undermine anything related to Alabama's football team. Dial shouldn't have been suspended,but neither should the Ole Miss guy. But Slive doesn't care about Ole Miss, so to him its irrelevant.

I haven't seen any Alabama fans saying Elston deserved suspension?

Actually it's kind of refreshing! Criticism of Gumps from a fan base other than LSU and Auburn is always good. It eliminates the canned responses of: 21-0, ITAT, corndogs, barners, etc, etc, etc.

This is false. I went over this many times back in 2010. Posters on this board lacked the reading comprehension necessary to read and interpret the by-laws, which I explained in great detail back then.
Bottom line, in the Newton situation, the by-laws were not incorrectly enforced.

BTW, I just read the wiki page. Pretty funny about slive, dial, and bama.

Slive suspended Bruce Pearl for 8 SEC games for lying to the NCAA about cooking hot dogs for high school juniors. Once again, he set a precedent for his less favored teams that he is not willing to live up to for his favored teams. And does the SEC really need to be enforcing NCAA rules, when the NCAA comes along and enforces their own rules a few months later for the same actions?

Oh excuse me, didn't know you went over it so many times.
If asking MSU for money but supposedly not receiving the money means son wasn't shopped, then you are correct.
