Sorry, but football is really starting to suck nowadays.

I assume that McGee now gets a suspension. For how long? A half? A game?
Thanks.Just for this game. If it happened in the 2nd half then he'd also need to sit for the 1st half vs. BGSU
We need to change the fight song from "Hit 'em high, hit 'em low, go Northwestern go! to "Hit 'em low, hit 'em low......
All these years, I've been singing the wrong lyrics?Well you're in luck because the line has always been "Hit 'em hard", not "Hit 'em high". A common misconception.
Not as wrong as the ones I learned back in my undergrad days.All these years, I've been singing the wrong lyrics?

Well, they should still change it to "Hit 'em low, hit 'em low....just as a reminder.
"Hit 'em high (but only if they are NOT in a defenseless position), hit 'em low (but not if they are NOT the quarterback standing in the pocket), Go U Northwestern!"Well, they should still change it to "Hit 'em low, hit 'em low....just as a reminder.
Looks like he did make contact around head high but doubt that was a targeting call.Remember, targeting is reviewed by replay officials. There needs to be a review of the rule with either deliberate or incidental type penalties
Pretty difficult to judge intent. If it had been an NU guy getting hit in the head in any fashion I would be saying, "you simply have to coach them to lead with their facemask of avoid the contact in some other way." I'm confident that he meant no harm but if there is a threat to this wonderful sport it is head injuries.Remember, targeting is reviewed by replay officials.

It was obvious, he just flat ran in to the Duke player, upright, body to body. He did not lead with his head, although his helmet did make contact with the Duke player's helmet with his, simply from momentum. That's targeting? If so, they need to redefine targeting. IMHO, a really bad call, that cost us the game. We should have been able to overcome that momentum change, but with two teams otherwise pretty close to equal, that can make quite a difference. However, 42-17? What I cannot account for is why we gave up.Pretty difficult to judge intent.

Cost us the game is a bit of a stretch. Might have but that is the most you can say. They were manhandling us all afternoon. That sure did not help us, but cost us the game?It was obvious, he just flat ran in to the Duke player, upright, body to body.

My intent was that it put us in a position to lose the game (but not by so much). It was a triple whammy--penalty, loss of Magee, plus Duke kept the ball. It may have cost us the game, but it shouldn't have cost us the game by so much. Something else happened, maybe a number of things. Had that call not been made, we may well have won as we were playing them decently until that point and we may well have been able to keep that up, but it exposed some weakness(es).Cost us the game is a bit of a stretch.

well that is what they are trying to changeThis rule is caca . South Florida kid just got ejected on a very marginal call. You basically can't tackle anyone above the waste. Back in the day we would have no one left on the field.
