Ron Cutrera - I saw this. It was NOT targeting.

Thomas Williams - The SEC is in the tank for Alabama and has been that way over the past 12 years. I don't believe a thing that they say anymore. That was not a targeting play by LB White but simply a football play you lying pack of SEC dirty dogs

@LouisianaGov
Someone is going to have to explain the definition of “targeting” to me. From what I know, that wasn’t it. #GeauxTigers

Suit someone up in #40 and put him on the bench for the first half. Give DW #41 or some other number and run him out there, just make sure he keeps the helmet on even on the sidelines. At least it sounds good.

Only reason I have a little suspicion (and I don't think the SEC office does much more than turn a blind eye to minor violations/$$ to players type stuff for Bama and most big programs) is because of the fast review and upheld decision. The review shouldn't be handled by SEC officials, it should be contracted referees from another conference.

There is NO WAY you can review THAT call THAT fast and uphold the decision. It seems like the guy reviewing was either totally lazy or considering the implications to White and choosing to keep a bogus targeting call which indicates bias.

To suspend a player of his caliber for the first half of the biggest game on a hit like that is just too much to ignore!

We need to fight fire with fire. Put in a walk-on to start a fight with Tua and provoke him into retaliating.

WHAT?!?!?!?! You mean its a bad precedent to fix a mistake?!?!?!?!

This is poor logic.

It would show Absolute objectivity and non-bias to offer an avenue for appeal and corrections for egregious calls. I don't think the flag was egregious, but the call was. Call roughing the passer, but THAT was NOT targeting.

In this case, yes, but in the case of an absolutely intentional targeting hit that could potentially result in significant injury, I am ok with it.

But the black and white (pardon the pun) ejection/suspension rule that ejects/suspends all-Americans for minor hits like Devin White's is ridiculous.

THIS IS FREAKING FOOTBALL!!!!! IF YOU DON'T LIKE CONTACT GO PLAY ANOTHER SPORT!!!!

CFB needs to do what basketball does with varying degrees of flagrant fouls.

as they should. Its a stupid rule, and I said that after the Miami player was ejected vs us.
Heat of the moment decisions and 20 second review from Birmingham shouldn't be set in stone.

Your words alone should be enough for the suspension to be reversed.

Actually an excellent idea.

Treating White's hit as though it's the the same as if he had launched and speared the guy with the crown of his helmet is so remarkably intellectually dishonest it's sickening.

When I was in college, competitors weren't pussies. We never wanted to play a team at less than full strength. Give us your best, we'll give you ours. May the best team win... That's how gentlemen compete.

That Alabama fans aren't embarrassed by the blatant, irrefutable cheating is sickening. If I was one of their fans, I'd be calling everyone on that side a pussy for feeling like they need to remove one of our best players to have a chance.
