re: For those of you who thought Kelly would accept SEC's ruling and ignore his players safety

Really? I had not seen or heard this evidence of frickery. Wow. So even the inbreds that run the stadium knew it was targeting.

He was told it was reviewed … what more should be done at that point?

That was a lie also. The SEC said earlier in the week they did NOT review it because their corrupt officiating crew did not call it targeting on the field. They just called it roughing the passer. They had to specifically call targeting to get a review. Now, we know that is BS because I've seen many games where targeting is not called, but the replay booth stops the game to review something anyway. Many times players have been ejected without an initial call on the field.

Smart move by the SEC to put it on the corrupt refs, as the refs NEVER have to answer to their blatant game fixing.

I'm telling you. Brian Kelly is soft. We're in the same boat as Texas a&m, Will be paying the money too.

I too think it was targeting but this tinfoil hat shite is stupid.

The conspiracy theories fester because the SEC officials have created the environment for them. That is called targeting 99/100 in modern football. And it wasn’t even reviewed.

It’s already been stated that the replay was not shown in the stadium, so how would Kelly have known it was targeting and not just roughing the QB

It seemed pretty obvious to me live on my TV screen. I imagine if I was on the sidelines I would have seen it even more clearly. But maybe you're right and he honestly didn't know it was as bad as it was at the time. My main point still stands that the time to complain has passed and there's not much anyone can do about it now. A targeting no call will soon be forgotten by all but us LSU fans.
But a big name coach getting ejected for sticking up for his star Heisman hopeful QB in a big prime time matchup would have forced them to review it. It would have been replayed hundreds of times on every sports show for the entire week.

Someone in one of the myriad previous threads made the best point. All BK had to do is ask which of the points of targeting it didn’t meet. And he needed to have them be specific. Asking them “is this targeting” is too general. If it isn’t targeting then they should be able to say it didn’t meet this specific point

---

He did. What he DIDN’T do was get fined and more shite thrown at him as a result. You people act like coaches release ALL OF THE INFORMATION they are told.
There was another statement he made about it checking ALL OF THE BOXES for targeting and his comment on the freaking horse collar tackle.

I watched that hit in slo motion and Turner repositioned his nose guard into Daniels' throat area after he had already made contact and lifted Daniels off his feet. And then followed thru with plunging his entire weight into Daniels' neck area on contact with ground.

Obvious an obvious intent to injure - far beyond normal contact

Obvious unnecessary for the act of tackling and only done for the physical damage it could cause.

I guess that is about all he can do at this point. He could have complained a little more vociferously, especially on the field at the time. The refs told him it was being reviewed, but apparently that was not true. He should have followed through at that point. Not that it would have made any difference, because they succeeded in their goal of knocking our best player out of the game. We couldn't retaliate because we couldn't come close enough to their QB to hit him.

He can bitch about it all he wants now, but the Alabama fans would just laugh and call him a crybaby.

I used to get annoyed when LSU fans would "whine about Alabama favoritism."

Not any more

Bama could have a gun and shoot someone on the other team and the refs would say the gun had a blank no harm done lol
