Fluke Georgia! U bastids win a few games and u own the world. If Mizzou doesn’t jump on the goal line Sat they beat you ! . I hate everything about your team , colors , state !! Screw Kirby and his bowl haircut! The lucky piece of crap Dooley. I only wish spurrier was at UF when Dooley was at Georgia. Dooley’s wife is a loudmouth too. So the hell with you
You actually make at least one good point, but your words drip with venom so it’s hard for me to give your posts much credence, ugafan. You are on a Gator forum, after all. I think you should keep the Spurrier remarks for posting on UGA forums.
You Hey Einstein, this thread was not started with the purpose of celebrating any injury. The original poster's comment was "Sad news from England." And if you chose to think that was sarcastic or something, then the Gators are living in your head. And for what it's worth, Cine was a thug at Georgia. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on that hit. But I've watched a lot of Georgia football over the past few years. On more than a few occasions, I saw him taunting, running his mouth, late hits that weren't called, etc. Just saying....
It’s hard to say. Just because it’s a big hit doesn’t make it dirty. I’m not positive either way. One thing I do know is Pitts is a big dude and can scat. If I had to bring him down, I’d not like too many limitations added as to how I had to do it. Stand straight up and give him a nice bear hug probably wouldn’t be very affective.
Vikings provide positive update on gruesome Lewis Cine injury Fractured ankle required surgery and now out for the season. Special teams injury rather than while playing D
No offense . . . and then proceed to offend. We're not "stifling" anything and there's nothing "cowardly" about it. You were a visitor and insulting like you own the place. By the way, although we actually can and do deal with trolls by ourselves, I didn't take any action against you . . . someone else handled it. Other Georgia fans co-exist here just fine and Tennessee fans and Kentucky fans and South Carolina fans, probably others . . . and we're happy to have them . . . but neither you nor any other rival is allowed to insult or set our rules.
The rule is any forcible contact to ANY part of the body with the crown of the head is technically targeting. Any forcible contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless player is a personal foul. This dude Cine did BOTH. Forcible contact with the crown of the helmet directly against a defenseless player's facemask. That gets you 15 yards and tossed out.
It's one of those: I don't wish him ill, but I'm sure he's got karma going his way and won't be too sad for him when it happens. Everything about that hit was borderline criminal. What this UGA dude pretends to defend, there's no justification and the only reason the announcer says that is to not make a big deal of the dangers of football and not condemn a kid on live tv, which is the right thing to do. The "he tried to use his shoulder" is not the same as leading with the helmet and also trying to put the shoulder into it for added leverage and reduced risk on himself. He did not try to avoid hitting with the helmet nor keep his head up to "see what he's hitting" as is taught, especially in that/this era with targeting and CTE already known. He just put his head down early, after reaching full speed and launching towards a defenseless player in mid air, using his helmet as a weapon. Pitts' head BARELY goes down as he's trying to brace himself, instead of taking the hit to the unprotected chin/neck area. Could have been worse. Needed surgery in the nose, came back 3 weeks later, while Cine wasn't even suspended for the next game! Many players hit hard and DO intend to hurt, but rarely go as reckless, hard, and straight to the head knowing it could end someone's career, if not severely injure them. Getting no sense of sympathy from anyone in GA and fans celebrating the play makes it unsettling.
Again, this new uga fan thinks I'm the one misinterpreting rules. Even if cine didn't lead with his helmet and dove with his shoulder into the chest or upper torso of a reciever mid catch they could call it for hitting a defenseless player. I miss the days of Ronnie Lott or Steve Atwater sending messages not to throw over the middle but those days are over and I understand why even if it muddies up the game. I'm not in favor of the penalty system for it as it stands and I can't understand how they can't see there are better ways to enforce it but I understand the reason for it overall
I gave you an agree rep, but I have to say that the reason why Boone didn't get a targeting is because, even though it was a brutal hit, the play didn't break the rules for targeting as written. He didn't launch... he hit Levis with his own facemask not the crown of his helmet... and Boone hit Levis just below the QB's own facemask. So, they made the visual judgment that he missed Levis' head. So... brutal yes, but not legally targeting was the right call, IMHO.
To be clear- I was not celebrating the kid's injury. I wasn't even saying karma or anything like that. But it was a dirty dirty hit, and yes I think a guy as unethical, competitive, unhinged, and "old school" as Smart approved and tacitly "gave permission." Muschamp would have done the same thing. Pitts was IMO the best player on the field in CFB in 2020. (He was the first non-QB taken in the NFL draft the next year.) To think that a guy like Smart wouldn't relish knocking a guy like that out of the game, who was again KILLING UGA, is to be willfully blind. FYI- Pitts didn't just miss the rest of the UGA game, but the next 2 as well. (And the LSU game, but that's another story.) This was serious stuff. Sorry I cannot forget that, but I wasn't celebrating Cine's injury. I blame Smart far more than Cine.
If a DB in the NFL lays a hit like that on any WR or TE, how many weeks and how may many dollars would they get fined. I don't follow the NFL enough to know other than they seem to take that issue seriously - more so than the SEC and other conferences based on the wild west officiating this year.
