Dirty plays

[HuskerNative]

The two dirtiest plays in Nebraska games I've seen this year -- the most obvious unsportsmanlike conduct, unnecessary roughness, trying to just hurt the other guy were:

• 
   
  
• The ISU linebacker wrenching Burkhead's head back, twisting and pressing with his arm, bracing himself for leverage with his leg, then pushing with his leg.
  
• The Aggie last night gripping and twisting Cotton's junk.
  

 

What they have in common:

• 
   
  
• Our guys got flagged, in Cotton's case two flags, the second of which is unprecedented in my memory.
  
• Bo ripped his player.
  
• The real culprit wasn't suspended by the Big 12. Oh, wait, I'm only predicting that about the A&M guy.
  

 

I wish Bo could calm down a bit. I want to excuse him and give him the benefit of the doubt, but the dude is over the top hot-headed. That's not really my point, and I do understand it. I think if I'd been in his profession I would have been that way; I had enough trouble in my own profession.

 

I wish TO would make a public statement about efforts to injure our players and the conference's apparent unwillingness to do anything about it.

It should be grotesquely embarrassing to Paul Rhodes, Mike Sherman and their programs to have such indisputeable evidence of their players trying to hurt opponents.

+1 solid post. I liked how abc only showed the camera angle where you could see cotton being violated once. Then an angle where all you can see is the kick. Also why was that a 30 yard penalty. It looked like they flagged the kick twice.
