OT: Blake Countess Ejected for Targeting
I missed this because I was watching our game, but Blake Countess was ejected for targeting as his Auburn team almost crapped the bed against Jacksonville State.

From the replays, it seems that's a bad call. The ball carrier was clearly sliding when Countess came running in. Countess dove for his body, but instead hit his head.

Looks like the QB waited too long to slide. Nothing dirty about that hit

looked terrible doing so. And Arkansas lost; and so did Tennessee. And Missouri is struggling with AK State! This is a day a lot of us have been waiting for.

Old news.

I didn't know about the ejection. I just assumed Countess hurt Auburn by carrying a little Hokeball with him into the AU locker room and infecting the team. How else do you explain such an underwhelming performance against a clearly outmanned team?

Yeah, that was basically the opposite of a targetting. It was a tackle on a slippery surface. Countess got robbed.
September 12th, 2015 at 10:47 PM ^
just another case of "how did these guys become referees?"
I can't even see how that draws a 15-yard flag, let alone an ejection. Ridiculous. Countess is already starting to tackle the QB before he goes into his slide. He didn't lead with him helmet. Yeah, his arm hit the QB in head specifically because the QB slid, not because Countess targeted his head.
Is there some rule that football refs have to be completely terrible or something?

How these refs are employed is beyond me.

The only thing Blake Countess targetted is our broken hearts.

(but never will) remove the useless TV timeouts.

something a B1G official would call... just unexplainable.
September 13th, 2015 at 10:55 AM ^
For targeting. Nine. I heard the Colorado one on the radio and the announcers thought it was an awful call too.
Football is a violent sport in a wussified country.
