re: LA Tech Safety Chad Boyd suspended

No doubt that Toliver was lit up on the play, but I'm not sure it warranted the kid being suspended. I was at the game and you could hear the helmets impact, but I don't think he "speared" him. Toliver is probably 6'4"ish and Boyd is 5'10". Of course he has to leave the ground to deliver a big hit on a man that size. Chad Jones does it all the time and Laron Landry did as well. A penalty should have been called, but I dont see where the LA Tech kid used malice like the Auburn lineman on Dorsey or Spikes used when he was poking out eyeballs.

Actually BOTH leagues have the benefit of replay and ONE league chose to do the right thing.
As in the Alabama game, the SEC had evidence of the wrong call but chose to pretend (again) that the call was correct.
Slive has chosen to take the positon that these issues will be addressed at the end of the season (here: pls READ: after the BCS selections).
The whole idea of this competition thingy is to make sure it is fair when the competition is actually underway. Instead Mr. Slive chooses to mock fans throughout the league who complain. Presumably, the fans of the schools do not count, nor issues of fairness in competition, as long as money is at stake for the league.

i cant say ive ever seen chad jones do this, but Laron Landry did plenty. And I loved having Laron on our team just so we didnt have to play against him but he had a reputation of being one of the dirtiest players in college football.

That hit is the definition of spearing.

I think it should have been a penalty because he did go high and lead with the head but I do not agree with a suspension.

At the end of the day it is football. We are "wussifying" the world with all of this video review after the fact of everything, from traffic cameras to football calls. Does anybody remember Orwell's "1984." Big Brother.....
Most can agree, we would love to see "0" injuries, but it is certainly part of the game.
