Ok, after watching the hit multiple times, here is my take. This is a great block that any of us would applaud if someone on our team executed it. A rewind and re-watch block, where we high-five the guy next to us. It was unfortunate that there was helmet-to-helmet contact. Was it intentional? Who knows, but I can see where it was unavoidable given the position of both players. The announcers harping on it surely led to the league examination and the fact that the OSU player laid there obviously hurt probably contributed to the suspension.
Was he celebrating after the hit? Probably, but I doubt that he was celebrating hurting the guy. He was hyped-up from the play, the touchdown, and from his part in making it happen. Again, this is the kind of block that we all cheer regularly when our team does it.
The suspension was a terrible decision, and I hope it gets appealed and overturned.
Looking forward to the game with you guys Saturday. I'm sorry you are leaving the Big XII; having Nebraska in the league made us all better. I wouldn't even hazard a guess as to who is going to win, although I hope we win, and win big. I think that this Mizzou team is the best and most balanced we have had in my lifetime, and I want to see us succeed.
