This coming from you, Gator? GTFO as you live off that in many of your posts.

I resent that!! I try to avoid hypocrisy, but I plead the 5th to hyperbole

Sorry I missed the one player from Mississippi this year, but there have been many instances where your SEC brethren have cried foul (Dorsey getting the Hi-Lo is one example) where the SEC did nothing, nada, zilch. So don't act all high and mighty that I missed ONE instance of the SEC doing the right thing.

buxfan - go to any scout board and look for any fanbase accusing the opposing team of being dirty. Hint: it ain't that rare and unusual. If bitching about "dirty play" and a lack of conference ban hammering has the relation you think it does, then every conference in the country is dirty. Mostly i was responding to the high-and- mightiness of you asserting that the SEC never suspends anyone, but your oh-so-noble [censored]ing conference would - and for multiple games no less.

One, last I checked Fairly did not put the Georgia QB out of the game like Reynolds did. I agree that Fairly's play warranted a suspension - much like Reynolds did. There have been two suspensions so far this year from the SEC when you said we NEVER do. It was not that difficult a task to look it up before you label the SEC as refusing to suspend a player for dirty play. Really, never? OK, "to your knowledge", knowledge being you won't bother to look.

(Ignore Ubet not Googling to see if Fairly took out the Poodle QB)


Carry on.....

Two, you need to show me who has been suspended by the Big-10 this year, as my google search revealed zilch* - but I can only assume that it is a far greater number than the measly 2 players the SEC has suspended in 2010. (*Seriously, I do not challenge it out of hand, I just could not find the numbers)

Three, it it YOU who asserts the multiple game suspension ethos of the Big-10. I see in 2009 that your own Kurt Coleman was suspended 1 game, Purdue's Reckman was suspended for one game, and that Michigan's Mouton was suspended one game for late hits and punches, etc. How can this be, as you (the Big-10) are into hammering the guilty?

Look, my point is not that the Big-10 is not serious about policing play, but that your premise that the two conferences are that [censored]ing different does not hold water.

Finally, don't take away my hyperbole, bitches.

Actually, Fairley did put Murray out of the game ... on his third cheap shot. Nice try, though....

Nobody in the Big 10 has been suspended this year. If you had been paying attention to the Big Ten TV promos for the past several seasons, the kids today are raised in Big Ten owned fan camps, where they are taught sportsmanship and comraderie from a young age. It is paying dividends now, obviously.

The SEC has no programs like this, aside from the remedial spelling lessons in early January.

S-E-C! S-E-C! S-E-C!

As the issue is multiple suspensions, it does not make a difference. Sorry, I did not watch the whole game as I was at the Sprint store with my kid. Again, my point was not that choking a bitch is worse than hitting him in the back late with his helmet, but that both egregious actions resulted in a one game suspension, and not the automatic multiple game suspension the much less tolerant Big-10 would enforce - as per buxfan's post.

Quit piling on me Poodle, it's hard enough defending this shit by myself. Nutria is out fishing and Woof busy looking up stats on Big-10 ADs being caught with red pantied strippers in convertibles

Ah, that's why it was "one" in your rebuttal, because it didn't matter.

I did not see most of the game and did not know that Fairly's hit(s) put out the QB. I stand corrected by Jeff. but nice to know you put that much thought into football board posts ordering though Josh.

There's enough to follow in this thread without the debate about suspended players by conference. If anybody feels the need to continue that discussion, please take it somewhere else, like the back of the Auburn-Georgia game thread.

 

[Gatorubet]

I coulda taken 'em.....

 

[LordJeffBuck]

Just for the record, people over here were pretty upset with the Reynolds cheap shot. Here's our game thread, from back in the dark ages:

OSU-Wisconsin 2003

Not much of a sample, admittedly, but everyone discussing the matter thought that a suspension was appropriate; at the time, I remember many posters on other Buckeye sites calling for Reynolds to be booted from the team.

Right now I feel like I [want] Tress to err on the side of "too harsh" with Reynolds. But kicking him off the team as has been suggested elsewhere is way above and beyond IMO, at least relative to other punishments that have been handed out for far worse offenses.

Clarity, I'm very disappointed obviously. We will have to see the Robert Reynolds clip for at least one week straight. I can handle the loss. Wisconsin outplayed us. To lose and show no class (one player) is very tough to swallow (ha, no pun intended).

as for Turbo Reynolds, that was bush league bullshit, and he needs to ride the pine for a couple weeks...

After that choke by Reynolds I was kind of happy to see OSU lose. Only because had OSU won and then ran the table, the footage of that choke would have followed us the entire season. It probably will anyways, but it would have been worse.

- Reynolds has to be suspended for a minimum of 3-4 games. While a lot of bad things happen at the bottom of the pile, he seemed to lose control of himself for a couple seconds. No place for that on this team, and I hope Coach Tressel makes it known.

I reserve comment on the Reynolds bit for now. Not really sure what to think, but I will say I was disgusted by the act itself.

On the other hand, Auburn fan thinks that Fairley is some kind of hero, and SEC fan thinks that it's no big deal (it's just football, it happens everywhere, he was just playing aggressively, etc....).

 

[BB73]

I wasn't a member at that point, but I thought 3 games was warranted.

But since it's more than 7 years ago, hasn't the statute of limitations expired on Reynolds as far as message boards are concerned? :tongue2:

There is a reason you are not on Bucknuts....and the response here might be different.

On tiggerdroppings.com the SEC rant board (the most representative multiple SEC fan board I am familiar with) was overwhelmingly critical of Fairley's action. I invite you to search the dozen or more Fairley threads, as I respectfully disagree with your - comparison conclusion, albeit you note the smaller sample size.

Has Auburn or the SEC suspended Fairly for his conduct in this game? Anything being reported on it?

I saw something yesterday that said he would NOT be suspended.

Chizik said he would not be suspended and he knew in his heart he wasn't trying to hurt anyone because that's not what they teach at Auburn.

I'll let you take it from here....

Right, Gene. Because everyone knows they don't teach anything at Auburn.
