Cry me a river

[Harry]

Looks like a damn clean hit to me.

[DeepGreen]

Sorry, but it looks questionable to me.

[GreenBat]

F'n Waaaaa.

[THOR]

Sorry, but it looks questionable to me.

to me, if it's questionable, it isn't illegal...

kinda like the radio being offensive...no one really knows the explanation, but, according the the fcc, will know it when they hear it...

[Rudy]

Someone needs to get laid big time.

[Rudy]

So had this guy ever seen football prior to watching that game?

There's a lot of things he probably hasn't seen.

[Tyler Maryak]

A couple questionable, I suppose. My question is: would he have taken the time to make that video/whine if they had won?

[UNTexas]

While this sore loser is stating rules he should also concede that there are penalties on every play. I am sure Ball State is totally innocent of fouls. The referee didn't see these multiple supposed fouls. Nor did I. I saw a receiver get lit up by a great hit. If they didn't like it maybe they should have played more physical. Football is a contact sport.

None of those were spearing and launching. It looked like guys trying to get low. They need to tell their player to fall to the ground if they are afraid of getting hurt. Learning how to be tackled is part of the game too. Not everyone can act like Marion Barber and get away with it.

[meangreener]

Hardest hitting defense in the league.

[MeanGreenBuzz]

The receiver lowered his head into the tacklers. Not our guys fault he was going for the chest and had his shoulder lined up for the ball st guys chest.

[MeanMag]

Put a helmet on the ball and pop it loose.

If only we were better against the pass, those hits would mean a lot more.

Gotta cut down on YPG allowed or else there will be many sad Mean Green fans in New Orleans.

Tyler! My man.

[Hunter Green]

Boo frickety hoo!

[golfingomez]

this is great... videos like this make me think UNT is back to being relevant again!

[FirefightnRick]

On our scoring drive,..watch the Georgia LB's launch the top of their heads into the chin of Derek Thompson. Those didnt seem to bother any of the SEC officials. So who knows?

Really? I mean, really? You decided that a thread about a BALL STATE fan being a big ol' vagina needed to be spruced up with more "woe is us" analysis of a game against Tulane? Really?

[meangreendork]

It's not like it would've made a difference had the hits been called as penalties.

[UNTLifer]

That is hilarious. Almost everyone of these would not have been questioned had the ball carrier not lowered their head.

[Rudy]

Uh oh, it looks like that guy has a mangina.

Do we pull out the flags next time we play Ball State? Or maybe we play 2 below football?

2 Things:

(1) The Mean Green D did hit quite hard trying to separate our opponents torsos from the football.

(2) Have you ever seen the Texas heat wilt a team much like it did to BS in the 2'nd half? (Amazingly, but our team had to play in that same heat, too).

And how many weeks ago was this game? Oh well, some of us still talk about the 88' UT game so we can't go there.

[ForneyGreen]

Fortunately, the officials know the rules better than this Ball State fan. Helmet-to-Helmet tackles happen during the normal course of many plays. If an official sees a defender intentionally lead or launch with their head, then it should be called as a personal foul. If the defender has his arms and body in a "typical tackling motion" (as some officials will say), then the defender is typically not penalized for helmet-to-helmet (or for leading with their helmet). I say typically because a defender will/should get penalized for helmet-to-helmet when coming into a QB while the QB is standing in the pocket.

In Lee's hit on #80, Lee is clearly in a tackling motion with his arms out and around the defender. Thus it is just a bone-rushing hit

Here's a good example of when the call will be made... Defender makes no attempt at making a tackling motion and leads with the helmet.
