BigRedfxtoy Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Anyone have the video of the blatant helmet to helmet on T-Mart? Exactly, I would love to see that posted here. The hit on Martinez is described by the statement from the B12 to a tee. And it was intentional and vicious, headbut and late hit. Aparently the QBs should pay attention and be tougher than other players???? WOW Quote Link to comment
Overland Park Husker Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Advance to the 1:35 mark. The hit is in the lower right quad of the screen. Head hunting - clear as a bell. Cheap, dirty shot... and then laughing on the sideline. Thug play. So you were on the sideline and know he was laughing at the hit and injury? Cause, you know, thats the only reason he would be laughing. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 MOST people agree that not playing within the rules constitutes "dirty" play, i.e. cheating. He led with his shoulder. It is impossible NOT to have helmet-to-helmet contact when you use your shoulder to hit the upper body of an opponent. The rule states that you cannot "use the crown of your helmet." He didn't. He used his shoulder. This is the Big XII protecting the sanctity of their Conference Championship Game. Spin it any way you like, but if this was your player, you'd be saying the same thing we're saying. Quote Link to comment
holvy83 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 It's near the end. Advance to the 1:35 mark. The hit is in the lower right quad of the screen. Head hunting - clear as a bell. Cheap, dirty shot... and then laughing on the sideline. Thug play. How is this cheap or dirty again? Because of the rules: "According to the National Collegiate Athletic Association's 2005 Football Rules and Interpretations: "No player shall use his helmet (including the face mask) to butt or ram an opponent or attempt to punish him. There shall be no spearing. No player shall strike a runner with the crown or the top of his helmet...."" really??? so every play there is correct form tackling taking place? Quote Link to comment
Nexus Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Dennis Dodd's twitter: Just saw the Eric Martin hit. Looks like helmet-to-helmet. At least up under the OSU player's chin. Legitimate penalty. That being said, I wonder if the Big 12 had suspended this kid if the NFL wasn't going crazy right now. LINK Quote Link to comment

I don't seem to recall the Tigers fans complaining about that play after the game. Then again, I don't seem to recall any Tiger fans visiting the board for a month after our game.

RazzinGTO Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 If Martin gets suspended over that then I want to see the kid from OSU suspended for his hit on Martinez. To me the hit from him was obviously much more of intentional hit than Martin's. +1 Where is the suspension for that hit? Or the KSU player that blatently pounded T Mart on the head in the KSU game, that was a friggin punch? Even the officials thought those were PF's. This shot didn't even get that and now they are suspending him? Wow. Quote Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I hope they appeal that, TODAY!!! That's complete crap and those d-bag announcers will be ALL OVER it this weekend, pumping themselves up for bringing it to attention! What complete sh*t. It was BORDERLINE at best and that f'ing kid should have been paying attention, the damn play was right in front of him and he was standing there with his thumb up his a**. We'd all love to Z, but the guys on 1620 bring up a good point... there's no one to appeal to. There is no board to talk to. It's basically Beebe and Beebe alone, and you better believe that guys wants to screw us over. What a d-bag. Quote Link to comment
ESPY Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Would anyone else like to know what Bo thinks about this? And I'm talking about behind-closed-doors Bo. Quote Link to comment
ESPY Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Nothing like a Nebraska suspension handed down from almighty Beebe to get Husker Nation racous and crazed. Quote Link to comment
whateveritis1224 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 However you look at it there was more shoulder then helmet, but since there's been a greater emphasis of those types of hits (hitting a defenseless player) then it's going to happen. It's crap yeah, and if the kid hadn't been hurt and had just popped right up, then nothing further would've been done. Quote Link to comment

tdawg Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 What would happen if he played anyway? Would he be suspended for the entire season or would NU be fined? Quote Link to comment

Especially when it comes to a player that is suspended and could help them win a game this weekend. Quote Link to comment
