Pretty cool article (it's slightly religious) that explains that Josh Boutte called D'cota Dixon to apologize for the hit. There's a lot that we don't see. I'm glad I got to see this.

Thanks for sharing.

quote:

“He actually called me and apologized, which no one knows about. All these people on social media who have said all of these harsh mean things like ‘he should be banned from college football’ things like that and you know it’s just kind of sad because whether he meant to or not, in that type of situation, when you are playing in a high intense game like that and in a moment like that, a lot of people don’t know what’s going on. They don’t understand the intensity and the emotion that is going on as a player. That’s why I was not upset at all about the hit.

He apologized, he told me he didn’t think that I was down. He sounded very concerned. He was asking about my head and everything else. We actually ended up praying together. I prayed for him.

We are friends now. I have his number and he has my number.”

I avoided the Rant like the plague last week. But watching that replay, with all that adrenaline, dude was running with the ball--I can see why Boutte hit him. It was ill-advised, to be sure, but I don't think it was malicious. It's not his fault he's that much bigger and stronger. I agree with the ejection and the suspension, but I think Boutte should be forgiven and welcomed back.

Neither do I. That being said - and I'm really not sure how else to put this - Boutte legit knocked the shite out of him. I haven't seen a hit like that in quite some time.
