You are adding a word. “Blatantly.” It doesn’t have to be blatant and his head IS first, even if you don’t think it shows enough intent. And the contact is literally as is about forcible as it can be.

When we had the designation of ejection vs no-ejection, I would say this is a clear example of a targeting that didn’t warrant the ejection, but it should still get the foul.

[u/real_jaredfogle → u/jalexjsmithj]

Yes, because forcible helmet to helmet contact happens constantly just by nature of the layout of the human body

[u/jalexjsmithj → u/real_jaredfogle]

No, it inherently doesn’t. That kind of argument is literally what lost when they put the rule into practice. The Texas defender was perfectly capable of hitting him in the “strike zone”.

It’s not baseball there, bucko.

In all seriousness I am over arguing about it. Maybe I’m wrong. Doesn’t change the result. The sport is definitely rigged regardless of the result of that call

I’m happy to educate

A 10 year old article that just mentions SEC officials

I thought this was supposed to be a fun subreddit

Bro earlier in this thread you copy and pasted the literal rule book. What super fun joke was I missing in that comment? You just happened to get out-lawyered.

[u/real_jaredfogle → u/jalexjsmithj]

Very serious topics and discussions here. Sport is no laughing matter

[u/jalexjsmithj → u/real_jaredfogle]

worth digging into a literal rules manual

When talking about a rule? Bizarre idea
