Sankey speaks on the shove.
- Thread starter patdog
- Start date
His explanation was that he was trying to get to the DC(who couldn’t hear him) and Van Buren was just there and everybody knows how chaotic it is on the sidelines and he had the wrong personnel group in and everything was just crazy. Etc etc
it is my belief that either
A.
the former linebacker did it to try to get in the head of our freshman quarterback’s head. Make him mad. Get him to thinking about something else.
or
B.
He needs a complete medical evaluation because he is unable to walk from point a to point b with obstacles in the way.
It does not matter what his motive was, who he was focused on or what the circumstances were. You do not put your hands on an opposing player like that. Period. When you do it is never a ‘nothing burger’ no matter how the player reacts.
I must have thick skin because I got more angry after the refs missed a holding call on their o line. MVB didn’t make a big deal, so I didn’t either. Still should have been a flag.
SEC commissioner responds to Georgia football coach Kirby Smart shoving Mississippi St. QB
SEC commissioner Greg Sankey issued a statement on Georgia football coach Kirby Smart shoving a Mississippi State player. Here's what he saidwww.onlineathens.com
The sec would have done nothing, however, we would have suspended him for the remainder of the season and given him an extension (just because, not the shove)
Agree. A flag should have been thrown. Do we honestly think he was sooooo in the zone that he would have pushed through the official that was standing there too? 15 yards + Lesby grabbing him in a chokehold at midfield after the game followed by an apology in the after game presser and I’m satisfied.
It would have been a 15 yard penalty and suspension if Lebby had done it.
So the precedent has been set. UAla and UGA don’t even get a tap on the hand. It will be interesting to see how the 2nd tier are treated when it happens.
