NEBRASKA FOOTBALL: Bogey for the Course

I still say he got in trouble for his pose afterwards. He just goes about his business and nobody really notices or he gets the benefit of the doubt. Yes beebe is pathetic so I'm certainly not approving the suspension. The double standard is what kills me. It's ok for Dan Beebe to go back into a game and suspend a guy that wasn't even penalized by the officials working the game but after the ccg last year the rules are what was called on the field. Why is it ok to affect the outcome of the next game but not a game already played?

 
Since I no longer play the sport but now have a son that someday might...I'm all for the "pussification" of football.

But when I did play, I don't remember the final scores..the won/loss records..and only one or two of the cheerleaders..

But what I still remember (And loved about the sport) were the great hits..Except we were taught to try to offer assistance after KO-ing the poor sap.

I have mixed feelings about the suspension and I have NO expectations of this ever being called "consistantly" or even anyone ever being able to call it consistant like.

In my tainted view, it appears that a head to head wasn't Eric's innitial intent..except at the last instant when hat to hat contact was inevitable (too late to turn back or raise a shoulder) Eric leaned his helmet into Hudson (the OSU guy) as a self defensive move (stay with me here).

Everybody knows..the best way to avoid getting hurt in a collision is to lean in to it rather than a "normal" defensive/avoidance move.


Plus the single bullet theory just seems crazy with a field-turf grassy knoll.
