Houston received the notice from the Big 12 in December. Haulcy transferred out in Spring. They had him for months on their roster and didn't tell him that he had to sit out the first half of this season.

It's not their responsibility to. It's LSU's.

You're missing the entire point here, no where in the game documents did it say fighting. The NCAA had to come in after the fact and say oh it was fighting, he's suspended next game 1st half, which again they told to Houston and Houston didnt even bother to tell Haulcy despite him being there for months after that ruling happened.

You are misconstruing facts here.

The bowl game suspension was automatic. It was an ejection which requires the next half suspension.

Haulcy was cited for something that does not require a next season suspension.


They were both ejected at the exact same time for the exact same reason.

The ref literally said:

"Number 2 (Haucly), Houston. That player is ejected. Unsportsmanlike conduct."

"Unsportsmanlike conduct, Number 5, BYU. That player is also ejected"



Clearly BYU got the message from the Big 12 he had to sit in the bowl game...because he did. Now, it's possible Houston did too and they didn't care because they weren't going to a bowl game. But the BYU player having to sit ABSOLUTELY created reasonable basis for LSU to at least inquire.

Nobody will take you seriously if you can't even get basic fricking facts right.

He was ejected on unsportsmanlike.

It's not the fact that they reported it, it's when they reported it. I can guarantee you they didn't just find out about it on Wednesday.

I don't blame Clemson at all. If LSU found out the Klubnik or one of those DL should be ineligible and didn't bring it up? People here would lose their minds. You have to take any advantage you can get.

Because it's a bush league desperate attempt to hamstring us. They went on a fishing expedition with both our transfer safeties. They caught something with one. And the NCAA, in their infinite wisdom, did not deliberate for a second before issuing a "ruling."

Not for nothing, all off season the Clemson "media" and coaching staff have been breathlessly spewing nonsense about "bulletin board material" related to the Death Valley nickname... just to turn around and drop this 3 days before kickoff.

It is what it is... but that doesn't mean we can't call out petty gamesmanship from a program that is OOZING with insecurity.

Of course it is.

They should be in constant communication with the NCAA about the eligibility of all players in all sports, much less the new players. Now, they may have done that and the NCAA fricked us. That is always possible.

In the Official Play-by-Play / Game Log:

The penalty can be described as:
“Unsportsmanlike Conduct – Fighting”

or simply: “Unsportsmanlike Conduct”

It depends on how the official scorer phrases the infraction and what is communicated by the officiating crew.

Haulcey was ejected from the game. That’s your first clue that his penalty was for unsportsmanlike conduct - fighting. Had he not been ejected from the game, it would be simply unsportsmanlike conduct.


This is all on LSU.

You're right. That's in the NCAA rulebook.

The player was flighting, flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct and ejected.

The player he was fighting sat out the first half of the next game he played after the ejection.

For Clemson to notice this and ask for clarification before LSU did shows the negligence on LSU.

You don't ask for clarifiction for things you know, you ask for things where there might be a question about and this is blatantly obvious. They needed clarification and clearance which is the exact job of the compliance department.

I mean BYU knew lol. It wouldn’t be extremely hard to piece together. The guy he fought with was suspended for the first half of the bowl game.


Yes, just like Houston, BYU was told by the Big 12. BYU then told the player he was sitting out.

Why did Houston never tell Haulcy?

What LSU SHOULD do is appeal it, he'll play in the interim since it's not eligibility. As long as it takes for the NCAA to make rulings, he'll play the whole season before they actually make a ruling. Instead of that, just voluntarily hold him out of the first half of the Southeastern game. Problem solved.

Same goes for you. Players don’t get ejected from games for taunting , ie Unsportsmanlike conduct. It’s simply a 15 yard penalty.

They do, however, get ejected for fighting, ie unsportsmanlike conduct. The fact that Haulcey was ejected tells everyone that he was ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct - fighting. The official scorer is not required to enter fighting. They are only required to enter unsportsmanlike conduct in the official game log.

Wrong. If you’re going to emphatically state something at least be accurate.

He was ejected for an unsportsmanlike penalty, which doesn’t carry additional suspension. The Big 12 upgraded it after the game and sent a letter to Houston’s coach, who then never told Haulcy and didn’t include it in the paperwork when he transferred.

There is no more incestuous group than college football coaches. They ALL know each other.

Some assistant at UH tipped Dabo off.
