[the addict]

hit was cheap and dirty but shit like that happens in everygame....

chopblocks, blows to the head, dirty shit.

I have been on the bottom of piles when i played where guys were spitting and grabbing shit its bad....

that was an obvious cheap shot, and got flagged like it should have.

im sure other teams have seen it and will make sure they do whatever they have too to keep him from doing it again to their QB....interested too see how offense lineman play against him in the next few games ...players dont take that shit lightly when it is a delibarate cheap shot...

 

[Phenom]

No doubt. His coaches and most fans (see phenom and company) seem to be fine with it, and the refs dont have the guts to eject him when they do throw the flag so why would he stop. Im just glad there is at least one Auburn fan out there not blinded by their fanship. With the exception of one I wish yall the best next week:0074

I didn't say I was ok with the hit, but calling for him to have a broken leg is about what Georgia was trying to do with the multiple chop blocks, and is on par with your post.

I guess we are the only ones that watched the game and saw all the cheap, dirty shit that UGA was doing the entire game.

 

[UGA12]

I find it funny that anyone who watched the game is saying that Auburn is the one with the problem. I don't agree on the hit in the back but Georgia played that whole damn game dirty. I watched several late hits, linemen falling on Fairley, the attempted chop blocks. They were trying to take him out for half the damn game.

Yeah, pretty sure everyone understands how you saw it play out. You didnt need to post for folks to know what you would say.

Well, I'm sorry that I came on here and pointed out what happened. I don't agree with with he did to the QB and I don't agree with the all out attempt by Richt to take him out. I guess there are a lot of pissed off Georgia fans out there and I can understand that. I do find it really sad that a grown man would start a thread wishing a kid would get his leg broke, your team tried there best but he's still walking.

I truely dont beleive yall actually did watch the game. 78 Josh Davis was called for a chop block in the 1st quarter and that was it until the end. After he had pile drived the qb twice, lowered his helmet into his spine, and tried taking his knee out, then your damn right they were going after him and rightfully so. Bullies only understand one thing and thats bullying and thats what hes got coming to him. He wants to try and injure people then why in the hell should he not have it returned. I would suggest yall go back and actually watch the game, but it wouldnt matter. You want to stand by him then more power to you, but nothing would make me happier than for him to get what he tries to give. You dont like that then tough shit. BTW congrats on the win and west championship. Hope all but one of your nation enjoys the iron bowl.

I feel fairly objective, and was only able to watch late in the first qtr on, because once the Vols hit 52 it was time to leave.

I will say this - I wanted Auburn to win the game. Why? I don't know, I like Richt, but don't like UGA.:shrug:

Anyway - I watch a whole bunch of college football. I know what goes on in the trenches. I try not to over-react when things happen.

The second hit late in the game was real tough for me to see if that was 100% deliberate. I will watch again later, objectively, to see if I feel the same.

When he hit the QB in the back, with his helmet lowered intentionally, he should have been thrown out of the game, period. There is no way that should be tolerated in college football, or in the NFL for that matter.

The SEC should suspend him for a game for that hit IMO. Bush league, thuggish, call it what you want - the SEC has to make a statement that this will not continue to go unpunished.

 

[Skipper]

I just watched the LSU and ULM slams, and they are not as half as bad as they are portrayed. Hell, Bray got slammed like that against Ole Piss. Until the whistle blows, you are taught to get the guy down. Hell, Jefferson is damn near as big as Fairley.

Either make a rule about "Slamming" an offensive player, or quit crying. Fairley's problem with those two is that he hits to high and is not tackling low. Of course, if he does that, then who knows if that is a cheap shot.

I am not defending Fairley, because he should have been tossed after the helmet to the back, or he should be suspended from the next game. The other three are not as bad IMO.

 

[TLankford]

No way in HELL

No way in HELL

you can watch the link Cie posted about "Trying to take out Murray's knee" and say that's what he was doing... I can understand if you saw it live and really couldn't tell and you're upset and wanna cry about it. that's fine because it's expected from georgia fans.

But if you go look at that slow-mo and come back and say that fairly was not blocked into him, you should just start watching basketball.

The helmet to the back was dirty as f*ck. no defending that. not the first time it's happened in football.

The whole "piledriver should be a penalty" argument is dumb. until it is illegal, stfu about it. If someone passes the ball 35 times you probably get a chance to go after the qb 6-7 times, gotta give him something to think about.

who was the player that richt went over to by the sidelines and told him to lay down and act hurt after a play was over? I thought that was pretty funny

 

[Skipper]

Yeah Lankford, I think I am fairly objective(I will bet against the Vols if it means money, like the UGA game), so I don't see the last three of those being so bad. It looks worse than it is.

I would love to hear from other people who aren't Auburn or UGA fans on this. You either make it a penalty or not. To me, this is an SEC or CFB rule more so than anything else.

Again, other than the helmet to the back, which should get a player tossed.

 

[TLankford]

Agree he should get suspended for the helmet to back. Head was up looking at murray going in and lowered his helmet at the last second and speared. very very dirty.

Bama fans thought the "Piledriver" Rolondo did in NFL earlier this year was awesome and badass and made him some freak of nature LB because of how cool it was. But when an Auburn player does the same thing they all scream DIRTY!!!!!

I can understand why UGA fans would spin Fairley's getting blocked into Murray's shin as "going after his knee"... It diverts people's attention away from the fact that they tried to take out Fairley right after that and then half their team rushed the field, while Auburn did not.

 

[Corley1011]

No matter what the case is... Bottom line is the officials have to do a better job... I understand it's a rivalry game and their are a lot of emotions flowing but they let it get out of hand and lost control of it early

Guess you never played any team sports.

In baseball if a pitcher throws at a guy and hits him

Next inning here comes the pitcher to bat. The opposing pitcher throws at his head. Its protecting your team.

in football if they did not do that , Auburn would continue to play the dirty for years.

 

[TLankford]

yea that makes sense. so richt called a 2-play combination:

1 - block fairley into murrays legs to make it look like he's trying to take him out

2 - take out fairley, everyone will see it as retaliation

You'd think with that kind of game planning Richt would be able to figure out a way to keep up with Auburn on the scoreboard since we have deaf and blind kids all over the defense

Skipper I have said my piece and will move on. I would however ask if you're being objetive to think about the other hits and pushing of facemask into the quarterbacks face and what you think his intent was given his obvious attempt to hurt him with a helmet to the spine. Pushing the rules is one thing, but when someone shows intent to hurt then they lose the benefit of the doubt. If he doesnt go out of his way to inflict injury well after the the ball had been thrown we wouldnt be having this conversation, but given the context of what he had already done, imo objectively one should find it hard to believe his intent wasnt the same as before and after the spear.

You other two can save your breath as this post is not directed at you.

Don't start a thread bashing an Auburn player and I won't reply. :sadwave:

This is still America UGA12, so to quote Lt. Daniel Kaffee from the great movie "A Few Good Men"

"It doesn't matter what I believe, it only matters what I can prove!"

He speared Murray late, and prior to that he rubbed his facemask on Murray's neck and face after a play. Thug.

 

[LA Burns]

people are harping on the last play where Murray was injured and the other play where Fairley speared Murray in the back with his helmet late but there were numerous other times where Fairley led with his helmet and buried it into UGA's qb - I was wondering the whole game what the f was going on and really could not believe what i was seeing

don't have as much of a problem with the qb "slams" although they are certainly questionable as well but I was almost sick to my stomach a couple of times watching that kid play - AU fans are obviously delusional if they cannot see that there was a problem with Fairley's play in that game - sucks b/c I am a big SEC fan and always root for SEC teams against other conferences but like Cie said will be tough for me to root AU on moving forward due to this kid and the outright denial from the AU fan base regarding his play
