WHAT THE HECK??

CGSHighball · 08-21-2009, 12:56 PM

Wow, I'm literally sitting in my office up here in northern VA minding my own business, and 3 guys just walked in and ragged me for 10 minutes about Garcia getting taken out by the ref last year against LSU. Just out of the blue. One of the guys is the president of the DC area LSU alumni chapter so we get into it every now and then, but this was COMPLETELY random.

I need football season to start NOW. I can't take the waiting anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

weird

GamecockSHEP · 08-21-2009, 01:25 PM

i dont understand how people can give anyone crap about the hit. blindside anyone and they are going to be stuned. garcia had no idea to expect a 12th defender and to be prepared for something like that. its really time for people to let it go.....

TStone · 08-21-2009, 02:43 PM

Refs aren't supposed to make tackles. It was plain to me that the ref initiated contact that otherwise would not have occurred. Not sure how anybody can give you a hard time about that. The ref should have been suspended.

scfanz · 08-21-2009, 02:49 PM

I still can't believe the ref wasn't suspended. It was obvious to anyone who was watching that the ref initiated the contact.

FanofCarolina1 · 08-21-2009, 04:02 PM

Hmm, I remember that crap. Ask those guys if they could take a blind side hit from Garcia? Yeah, that'll shut them up.

FanofCarolina1 · 08-21-2009, 04:06 PM

In the video, the REF watches him, see's him run to the right and follows him. Gives a forearm to SG, and LSU completes the tackle. BS!!

cocky0 · 08-21-2009, 04:16 PM

Yeah I've heard that tire excuse that the ref was just "trying to protect himself", but he began stepping into the tackle and bringing his arms up when Garcia was a good 2-3 yards away. The lil' prick did it on purpose.

sc455 · 08-21-2009, 04:21 PM

i remember garcia looking at the guy like "wtf" was that all about.

The most annoying part is that is nothing to rag about. Rag about our history of mediocrity or something else that at least carries some weight. The ref's ambush is not "rag" material...at all.

Luke Skycocker · 08-21-2009, 06:10 PM

That's kind of wierd.

COMPLETE 2 RICE · 08-21-2009, 08:14 PM

I just rewatched it for the first time since last season. How that was not investigated is beyond me. You just cannot look at that and say that it wasn't intentional...... You cant.

AtlGAMECOCK · 08-21-2009, 08:22 PM

are they on scholarship to play d-1 football in the sec?

CGSHighball · 08-21-2009, 10:21 PM

I'm really glad you guys feel the same way as I do about this. Their main point was "how on earth can a 60-year old ref knock over our 6'2" 220lb with just a little push?" and no matter how many times I pointed out that if I decked one of THEM while they weren't looking they'd go flying too, they just kept at it. I really hope LSU chokes this season.

He would have been if it had happened to Tebow.

thegreergamecock#1 · 08-21-2009, 10:44 PM

I watched the video-- ref clearly ran up and bumped garcia's right shoulder.

They would have had him hung if it had happened to Tebow

airforcecocky · 08-22-2009, 10:06 AM

and USC fans would have given Clemson or UT or UF or UGA or LSU fans hell if it had happened to their QB its just one of those things where you just have to say "dang, Carolina looked stupid there" and laugh.
