He must sit out the first half according to this morning's Commercial Appeal.

RE: Tank
In case it needs to be said again, that was a bogus call. If Tank was "Targeting", then a more serious example of "targeting" could be called on every play, particularly every kickoff or punt return.

Just weak.

RE: Tank
It was a terrible call from the back side of the play. Yeah, he looked down but the contact was from the SMU guys head into Tank's shoulder. I'm guessing his equally bad late hit call in the first half didn't help his cause.

Can it be reversed by higher authority upon review?

He dropped his head to hit the dude...Legit call based on the rule...You don't have to destroy the guy to get flagged

Maybe, if he had hit him with his head. Looked for all the world to me that the contact was, like I said earlier, between the SMU guys head and Tank's shoulder. We can disagree. It doesn't matter. The call was made.

Actually, I'm not certain if the call was targeting or hit on defenseless player?

The announcer said Targeting, but I'm with you-I don't remember the ref actually saying it.

It was the "defenseless player", who first lowered his head before the collision. What is a tackler supposed to do in that situation - take a helmet blow in the groin? Whatever "targeting" contact occurred was as incidental as it was unintentional in my judgement. How that could be ruled targeting after last year's critical no-call at the end of the UCF game is baffling. It will be a shame if Tank misses more playing time on account of that.

Very true...If you look at the Angle of Tanks head and neck at the time of the collision that could have gotten ugly if it was a more violent collision

RE: Tank
GA, I thought of the UCF travesty as well. That was a picture perfect defintion of helmet to helmet on a defenseless player. But....no call and UCF goes on to win and the Fiesta Bowl.

What was also LOL funny yesterday was the refs going out of their way to contain the MEMPHIS runaway and protect SMU from a more severe beatdown. Late in 3rd quarter, two CONSECUTIVE chinzy calls that erased two long gains by MEMPHIS: a 50+ yard run by Cooper and a 40+ yard completion.

Hilarity, thy name is the piss poor AAC officials.

Funny thing is we still scored on that possession.

I think it's the rule that should be tweaked.

yeah well i have seen worse not called and less than that be called. meh, its part of it. if what tank did was targeting then what that ucf player did to us last year was attempted murder.

But, they made it up with a pass interference call against SMU on the very next play and got the Bronx cheer from Tiger fans.
