From mgoblog:

On Jonas Mouton's "punch," Rodriguez said he didn't see anything that he thought was a penalty, and if something had happened, the refs would have called something. There will be no additional punishment.

Let's take a look at that again:

The Wiz of Odds: First Cheap Shot of the Year

Rich said he didn't see anything that he thought was a penalty? :lol: I didn't realize that uppercuts to an opponent's chin were legal in football. Maybe they are if you already have a depleted secondary and the uppercut artist is a member of said secondary.

Well, according to RichRod, the refs see everything they need to see on the field, and call what they see.

So he should never have to complain about a call/non-call from here on out.

I guess RichRod was wrong. There will be additional punishment for Mouton's punch - a one game suspension. According to the Big Ten, TSUN linebacker Mouton's behavior is "unacceptable" and "has no place in the sport of football or the Big Ten Conference."


"What are you talking about?" Rodriguez told reporters. "I know they were talking about one incident on film, and I didn't see anybody throw a punch or anything like that. The little bit I saw on the clip, I saw guys got tangled up together, and Jonas tried to free himself. There's a whole lot of officials out there, and I'm sure if there was an infraction, then they'd call it."

The Big Ten reviewed the film and determined that Mouton struck Olsen, violating the league's sportsmanlike conduct agreement. The league also issued a public reprimand of Mouton...

It marks the first time in recent memory that the league has suspended a football player when the player's team did not.(ESPiN link)
If you are a TSUN fan and you are not embarrassed about your coach's public image...

Boy I would be proud to have this guy for my coach. The Big Ten has to suspend his player not him and then (read 2nd paragraph) the douche has the audacity to, well read the paragraph and draw your own conclusions..

Bo just rolled over in his grave......(again)

Rich Rodriguez watching for double standard on league discipline | detnews.com | The Detroit News

Ann Arbor -- Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez said he understood the Big Ten's one-game suspension of starting linebacker Jonas Mouton for "striking" Notre Dame center Eric Olsen late in the game last Saturday, but he insisted Mouton was not acting maliciously.
Mouton had to sit out Saturday's victory against Eastern Michigan. Rodriguez was informed Thursday of the Big Ten's decision, which was publicly revealed by the conference on Friday.
Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis sent a tape of the incident to the Big Ten for review. Mouton was not called for a penalty at the time, and Rodriguez twice last week during media availability said he did not see a punch thrown.


"I will tell you, my conversation with the commissioner (Jim Delany) is that we will watch every Big Ten game very closely, and any non-football act, whether it's a six-inch jab or anything not called for in the game of football, we're going to ask that that person gets the same type of punishment that Jonas Mouton got," Rodriguez said. "And I'm sure the league will do that.
"There's no room for throwing punches in the game. That's not a football act, that's not what we're about. It hurts the team when you do that, and Jonas understood that. He understood it hurt the team, could have been penalized. Was it a malicious act? Was it something that warranted a suspension? They said it did. Whatever the rules are, if that's the rules, we go by the rules. That's fine. OK, that's the precedent, (and) that's what we set. That's why I said we'll look at every act."
