Gone for the rest of the season, at least. He has three days to get into the Commissioners office for an appeal. Maybe he ran out of ketamine?
aggy plays Georgia this weekend for the first time since aggy joined the SEC (2012) How is this even possible?
$EC, $EC $EC. 8 Conference games a year: 6 intra-division; one other division "rival" game (SC for the ags) leaving 1 out of division conference game per season. (ags do not play Georgia again until 2024.) Here is a link for the $EC non-division games 2014-2025: See all the SEC's rotational cross-divisional football games through 2025 .
I sometimes tire of the endless chest beating about the allsome-ness of the SEC. Outside of a good / decent season here-and-there, the SEC has some programs with weak to mediocre football pedigrees: Vanderbilt, Kentucky, South Carolina, Arkansas. Honorable mention: aggy, Tenn. & Mizzou. Tenn. and arky were arguably once strong programs that have fallen on hard times... You can choose who you think is weak and who is mediocre.
He supposedly said Rudolph used a racial slur in his appeal. Also, the league just announced the indefinite suspension will not be overturned.
I remember several years ago, Anthony ("the Samurai") Smith of the Texans ended up with the helmet of Richie Incognito in a hand and proceeded to beat Incognito over the head with it. He got a 3-game suspension. It might have been more games, but even the league recognized at that time that Incognito was one of the biggest pendejos in all of professional sports. I suggest Garrett's suspension now would be less had he too picked Incognito to clobber instead.
As I recall, there was ALSO the element of the helmet being swung but NOT landing. Thus it was an ATTEMPTED pummeling. We ALSO know a whole lot more about damage to the melon now than we did just a few years ago...and that was likely ALSO a factor. Of course, we ALSO need to remember that Rudolph was from Okie Lite...you don't go after the player...you go after the mullet, 'cause well, you know...he was 40 and he was a man!
I really wish people would study and understand what this quote is a result of. It's not a ******* joke. It is a coach defending a troubled player against a ******** c**t trying to make her career at the expense of a young man. It was so egregious that her boss publicly decried her action in an editorial and she was fired. I would hope if my child or grandchild was publicly assaulted, their coach would defend them. It wasn't regarding a play or game situation, but rather a personal issue. Mike Gundy is a standup guy, and that made him a players coach. I would be proud to have him coach The University of Texas.
I bet if someone else beat Incognito over the head with his own helmet today, they might only get a 2g suspension.
I don’t think Gundy will do any better than TH here. Plus I doubt he would leave Stillwater. TH just has to adapt better.
Absolutely, 100% agree Sabre. I have NEVER understood why so many make fun of Gundy for standing up for his player. It is probably because they never bothered to understand the context. It just shows the power of taking a quote completely out of context and running with it. I most definitely am not Gundy fan, but I do admire him for that stand.
SH, not that I’m a proponent of him but don’t you think that with T. Boone no longer a factor, Gundy might be less encumbered?
At that time T Boone and Gundy hadn't spoken in well over a year. Of course, T Boone had gone on a diet and was trying to lose 150 unwanted pounds - he was getting a divorce.
I KNOW the history. It STILL makes for humor a decade-plus after the fact. So, to borrow from Sgt Hulka..."Lighten Up Francis."
I know the history too, and I agree Gundy was in the right to dress down that reporterette. Doesn't stop the rant from having a humorous element to it.
thanks Sabre. I guess I didn't know that ... or long forgot about it with the repetitive use of "i'ma man" There's far too little accountability in the media these days. She'd have been promoted today. As @Sangre Naranjada said ... it was still funny. 40? Barely 20 years older than the kid you're defending.
00 this underscores "the LHN, the LHN, the LHN" ... is NOT why aggy bolted. They couldn't win in the Big XII ... or any conference with Texas and OU in it. I don't begrudge that decision, but be honest about it.
Meanwhile aggy played Georgia toe to toe in Athens but lost. This is not the November I'm used to seeing from my sheep humping friends to the East.
