What a crock of

 

[mackievol]

Geez.

 

[Grudenhaslanded]

Wtf!! Tennessee should play him anyway.

 

[CornDontGrow]

The hammer has fallen. I’m not sure if I agree with the suspension, but at least he gets to play 1/2 the bowl game. I’m sure he will go off in the second half. And we still have Palmer and callaway, so no sweat.

 

[Sin City Vol]

Not surprised

 

[DocVol]

Gtfo

 

[ScooterVol1]

Would a bama player get suspended?


No.

 

[Jack Burton]

Not surprised either, but glad it’s just one half.

 

[willinhf]

Play him anyway. What are they going to do, tell the refs to call bogus calls on us vs. BAMA?

And BTW, does the SEC have jurisdiction here on a non-SEC game in a non-SEC stadium?

 

[YankeeVol]

Not all that surprised (even though it was likely unintentional). At least he'll still get to play

 

[Creeker]

Not surprised. Said right after it happened this would be a real possibility. Glad it was only a half.

bs

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

How can they suspend him when no one can prove intent?

 

[82_VOL_83]

What BS.

 

[82_VOL_83]

How can they suspend him when no one can prove intent?

It's the new standard of justice. Accusation is all that is required.

[DoyleMcOrange]

Glad it was only a half. He needs to show out in the second half.

 

[82_VOL_83]

Maybe UT will appeal and it will get overturned. May be a decision to placate the snowflakes and they are just waiting to talk to the two kids and review some more.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

How can they suspend him when no one can prove intent?

The usual SEC HQs "take a half measure that pleases no one" approach.

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

They probably wanted to suspend him the entire game but couldn't prove he meant to step on that dude.

 

[ButchPlz]

Suspend the Vanderbilt jackass that instigated it for the start of next season, and if the RB that intentionally ripped off Alontae's helmet is back next year, suspend him too.

The SEC is ****.

 

[JT3]

That's some bull****. I agree with Wes's take on that one.

 

[DiderotsGhost]

The famous NCAA "we can't prove anything one way or another, so let's half-suspend him" rule.

If only our criminal justice system were so enlightened:

"The jury has decided that maybe the defendant is guilty of murder; on the other hand, maybe he's not; therefore we give him half-a-life sentence ... just in case he's guilty."

 

[Quaint88]

Damn it. I wondered about that. It looked like Jennings was fired up about the hit and just trying to get up off of the slick, wet tarp they were on to celebrate with his team mates.

On a side note, did the sound go out right when it happened for anyone else? It took a few minutes to come back on Hulu.
