The dude abides.
Four players in history have ran for 30+ touchdowns in a season. Two have happened this year. One was Bibbs (CSU), the other was a QB (Reynolds from Navy). Hard to really call him a QB with 19 yards passing in today's win though

The dude abides.
Was just pissed that fucking idiot still hasn't learned how to tackle properly. He got flagged for targeting back in October against Toledo, and I think there was another occasion during the season, the ejection being overturned both times. Today, got flagged for targeting and was ejected, even after review. It was sort of a BS call, it was shoulder to shoulder, only targeting that he did was essentially launching himself, there was no helmet to helmet contact. But, the dumbass still hasn't learned to tackle properly without launching his dumb ass at a receiver. And because of that, left Navy's already thin safety corps even thinner (and it get yet even thinner after that as he replacement got injured a couple drives later).Overreact about kids playing a game much?
I will say one thing, before today, I felt bad for MTSU and thought they got screwed when they didn't get into a bowl game last year. After today's game, to hell with them. I couldn't care less if MTSU never plays in another bowl game ever again. Absolute trash today. And that Blunt douchebag should be happy he's a senior. If he was an underclassman, his ass had better have been getting kicked off of the team and his scholarship revoked in the next week or two after that thuggish bullshit the entire game today, from kickoff until he got ejected.
And if he's even being remotely considered by any teams come the NFL draft, I hope those teams and coaches sit down and watch today's bowl game from beginning to end and see just exactly what type of thuggish, ghetto trash they're getting in him. He makes Nick Fairley and Ndamukong Suh look like fucking saints!
Understood.
Just comes off a little two-faced when you get pissed about Toledo fans (or Akron or Kent or whoever it was) calling them the Midshitmen (or whatever). That they should respect the academy etc and then you attack a player like that.
Also understood.Understood.

Needless to say, I get quite passionate about the teams (college and pro) that I follow, and when one of them majorly fuck up, I don't hesitate to jump on it.
And for Smooth, passionate equals:

Smooth, your cussing should be directed to the refs. From what I just saw, and what others are saying, that wasn't targeting.

I know, I even said, it was technically a bullshit call, the only "targeting" he did was in essentially launching at the receiver. Otherwise, it was shoulder pad to shoulder pad. It should have been overturned. But regardless, after already being flagged for targeting in at least two other games this season for similar hits (though those were both overturned after review), he should KNOW BETTER by now. Don't launch yourself through the air and leave your feet like that and make it look like it could have been targeting to a ref watching it in real time.
Looks like the retirement party is gonna have a sour note, because Texas SUCKS tonight. Good lord.
Even if he was an underclassman, he would still be on the team. The coaching staff has been like this all year with this kind of crap. Most MTSU fans have wanted the school to do something about the coaches this year, but it has falling on deaf ears. That may change as a lot of MTSU fans have wrote emails and letters to the AD with this bowl game
and want something done about this and are not happy with the way coaches and bad apples on the team have made MTSU look very bad.
Even worse for Longhorn fans, they had to watch their rival and 14+ point underdog lay the wood on Arizona St. That said those grey unis still make me want to puke and the Matador/numbered helmet sucked. Sorry but someone has to be a traditionalist here. Double T on the helmet or nothing.
Each team should have one home and away uniform, one freaking helmet and plain ass gloves. An alternate throwback uniform (not helmet) can be used once a year.
Also, since the people running the NCAA and NFL are a bunch of progressive twats who came up with this targeting bullshit we need to bring back something to even out the DB/WR play.
Unlimited stickum.
Sorry Smooth, that hit was clean, not the best example of how to tackle but he lead with his shoulder. In fact you are the only one I have seen who thought it was targeting, outside of the refs.

Yeah, that was just disgusting yesterday. And it was like that the entire game! From the opening kickof, clear up until the time he got ejected, Blunt was pulling some sort of crap. A forearm/elbow to the head of a Navy player after a tackle out of bounds on MTSU's sideline, pushing Navy players after plays, almost like he was trying to get them to react back, constantly getting into the faces of Navy players after every single play.
The one that pissed me off the most, coming diving in LATE after the play has already been whistled dead and then trying to gouge the eyes of Keenan Reynolds. Who knows what he could have done to his eyes if he had been able to get his hands in his facemask more. Keenan wants to be a fighter pilot, if his eyes got injured in any way from that bullshit stunt, and that would be the end of his possible fighter pilot career before he even graduates.
Then the play he got ejected on, again the play already whistled dead, he's laying on the ground next to the Navy ball carrier, and he essentially lifts himself up and rolls over right on top of the Navy player and just lays there, helmet to helmet spouting more shit (you could see his helmet moving) for at least a couple seconds. Thank god the refs finally flagged him for unsportmanlike conduct a second time after that and finally ejected his ass.
Looking back now, now that the anger of that douchebag has settled down a bit, for the most part MTSU was alright. A couple of their players took part in the jawing or some shoving, but for the most part, it was just that Blunt douchebag causing all the trouble. Now, has it still clouded my perception of MTSU and their reputation? Unfortunately yes. Between Blunt's antics and the fact that NOBODY did a damn thing the entire game to stop it. None of his fellow players, not the guy who is a former marine playing for MTSU, not even the damn coaching staff. Hell, MTSU's coach gave Blunt a damn pat on the back and a lighthearted, almost smiling remark to Blunt as he walked by after being ejected, almost like the coach was saying good job out there.
After yesterday's game, I'm not going to condemn the entire university (at least not now after calming down from all the BS in that game), and I'm not going to condemn the entire team, though I will admit I no longer have a very favorable outlook of MTSU and probably won't be rooting for them in any football games or bowl games in the near future. However, I am going to condemn Blunt and the entire MTSU coaching staff. The announcers of the game said it well, if the refs had seen and flagged Blunt for everything he did, he probably should have had 5 or 6 unsportmanlike conduct penalties called on him by the time he actually got ejected. And yet, the coaches seemingly never did one damn thing to call him out on the dirty play and either get him to stop or pull his ass from the game.
But, oh well, now he gets to live exposed as a dirty player. Any slims hopes he had of the NFL (doesn't look like he was being projected as much of a candidate to be drafted) may have just been damaged after coaches see all of that crap he pulled. If he's doing that in college, what's to say he's not going to do that in the pros? So he's now exposed, and he gets to live with the fact that he probably cost MTSU a win in that game. At the time he got ejected, it was still 10-6, Navy had just gotten a first down at the MTSU 42 yard line. His penalty ended up making it a first down at the 27 yard line and Navy would go on to score 5 plays later. An intercepted on MTSU's next drive, and Navy needed just two plays to cover 43 yards and take a commanding 24-6 lead with 9 minutes left. So he gets to enjoy feeling responsible for all the BS he pulled, the fact that his penalty and ejection essentially handed Navy a touchdown, and now he gets to deal with it every the rest of the year on campus from fellow players, from the students and the administration who watched that game. I hope he catches shit from the student body for days, weeks even after all that BS yesterday.
Like I've said, it was essentially a bullshit call. I was cursing up a storm at the TV when the flag was thrown and when the ejection was upheld. I've even said and agreed with the talking heads, it was shoulder pad to shoulder pad, there was no helmet to helmet contact. However, he has to know better than to tackle like that. He has already been flagged for targeting in the Toledo game and at least one other game (can't remember the opponent), both times he got lucky and they overturned the ejection. Today, his luck ran out and it bit him in the ass.
Yes, it was shoulder pad to shoulder pad, yes the refs dicked that call, but he put himself in that situation. You DON'T tackle like that, and you don't go into the air and leave your feet trying to hit or tackle an opponent. The only targeting claim that I could see in the replays was him jumping towards the defender and leaving his feet on the tackle. It was still a BS call, but he put himself in that situation after already being flagged for targeting on similar tackles in past games, and he still hadn't bothered learning how to tackle properly.
That's what I was upset at him about. Instead of just making a proper tackle, he even ever so slightly launched at the receiver and those refs (I don't even remember what conference they were from) called him on it and he sat out the rest of his last game, his last bowl game, as a senior.
No one has put together a comprehensive video yet of everything Blunt did. But here's the major things that I quickly looked for in a video of the entire game. There was other smaller bullshit sprinkled in here and there as well that I'd have to go through the video in real time to find.

Getting into creepy stalker territory there Smooth. Let it go.
Well, for me, it's only been one day and I am still extremely pissed off about it, as are tens of thousands of Navy fans nationwide, even MTSU fans are pissed at him. All of that was 100% straight up thuggish bullshit. Like I said before, that jackass could have seriously injured Keenan Reynolds with that cheap bullshit, potentially could have ended the remainder of his college career and could have even ended his goal of becoming a Navy fighter pilot after graduation. Hell, Reynolds had to go to the hospital to get checked out and make sure everything was alright after the game, that thug bitch was able to get of his fingers into Reynolds' eyes.
His "apology" posted online by MTSU today even read like PR bullshit and was nothing but excuses. "It was my last game and emotions were at an all-time high". So? Emotions being at an all-time high in your last college game gives you the right to go around doing nothing but thuggish bullshit all game long? Since when the fuck does high emotions allow you to go after an opponent's eyes, to elbow a player in the head after a play as already ended, etc. Fuck no, those were 100% intentional and calculated actions. More like it was his last game, there would be nothing that could be done to him short of maybe the school finding some reason to kick him out of school altogether (can't be kicked off the team, can't be suspended or benched) so he took every cheap shot he could because nothing could be done to him other than boot his ass from the game.
I accept Coach Stockstill's apology. I don't accept Blunt's apology. And it's the same for thousands of other Navy fans. A lot of us will give Stockstill a pass in that he may not have seen much or any of what Blunt was actually doing. But Blunt and his bullshit excuses? Fuck no. He is a disgrace of a football player, and I hope every single NFL team, every coach, every GM, every owner, every person in every front office saw that bullshit. I hope that Blunt doesn't get drafted, I hope that he doesn't get signed, I hope that yesterday was the last game of organized football that he will ever play in his life. That thuggish sumbitch doesn't deserve to ever step on a football field ever again.
I accept Coach Stockstill's apology. I don't accept Blunt's apology. And I, and thousands of Navy fans, are still waiting for the MTSU president to make some sort of remark or statement about the game. Show that MTSU actually gives a fuck about the dark cloud that Blunt cast over their school outside of a couple of PR department written apologies by the coach and thug-bitch. Now, I have cooled off a little bit enough in that I'm not going to hold that bitch's actions against MTSU as a whole. MTSU fans, supporters, etc have all denounced Blunt and his actions. So I'm not going to hold the entire school in ill will. However, my perceptions of the school have taken a hit. At least in the near future, I'm not going to be rooting for or siding with MTSU in any regular season games or bowl games. I'm not going to be rooting for them to lose, but I'm not going to be rooting for them to win. It's going to be a while before my opinion and views of MTSU as a school ever turn favorable again.
What exactly did this dude do that has everyone going bananas?
