Yep...however long Alabama's season is this year this stuff will follow them till the end. That is the second best part... Actually, the best part is the uniting and firing up of players and fans around this White travesty. The glaring spotlight on SEC officiating will finally give us a chance at a fairly called game and win..
I have a question - have you actual read the 2018 version of the targeting rule when applied vs. a defenseless player? Do i think White intended to target? No. Do I think he lead with his helmet? No. He lead with his hands but his momentum caused his face mask to hit the QB's helmet. The problem is, the freaking rule makes it targeting to hit a quarterback in the head or neck with your hand, forearm, elbow, shoulder or any part of your helmet if he is throwing or has just thrown the ball. Had white bent his knees when he made contact so that his face mask hit the QB in the chest, it'd been a legal hit. How is this Bama's fault? I see a lot of posts that Bama is behind this. But so far I have not seen any evidence - just conjecture. Marcus Spears said that the targeting call was correct because of how the rule is worded. Who on here thinks he is part of some conspiracy? The real problem is that the rule is crap. Its a step towards flag football.

None of you cheating, arrogant $abama fans deserve to post on TigerDroppings. Go away and stay away. The corruption between Alabama and the SEC office in Birmingham is patently obvious to any objective person who loves college football, and y'all are a disgrace to the game. You have the best coach and players money can buy, but you still cheat the system just to make sure you win.
The long list of critically-timed bad calls by referees, recruiting scams allowed, criminal activity of student athletes condoned that surrounds Alabama football is just pathetic.
Y'all think it can all be rationalized because you win most all of the time. Well, have at it, but don't come on this site trying to get us to buy into your excuses and image polishing. Cheaters eventually get the respect they deserve, and it's starting to catch up with the dirty Tide.

No it's not Bama's fault that the SEC office is in the state and most of the employees are residents and many are graduates of the University. You must have seen some of the many post on here showing pictures and evidence of the biased officiating.

I personally do not believe there is a conspiracy with the Sec and refs for Bama. I believe Saban intimidates referees more than any coach in the history of college football and it just so happens the SEC headquarters is located in Alabama.
Targeting was intended to prevent injuries and viscous late blows to the head.
Momentum brought Devin White into the QB and to me he actually looks to be pulling up on the hit.
The targeting call should not have made it out of the booth and I promise you every SEC official would agree with this at this time given more angles and time to review.
The game was in hand and Devin clearly was not trying to deliver a blow to the head.
Overall a bad call and LSU has to live with it

Does the rule not state “forcible”? This, as you aptly described, was incidental contact to the head. Not in any way “forcible”.
