Jennings suspended for first half of bowl game (merged)

[Volsurance]

Very hard for me to look at that footage and believe it was accidental. Glad all he got was a half.

 

[Skullbone]

I am surprised mainly because its a bunch of bull.

Then you're blind or have a room temperature IQ.

 

[jdogvol]

No flag, no penalty issued on the play, yet they suspend him anyway? What a pile of crap.

Total and absolute horseshyte

 

[VolFreakJosh]

What a complete joke.

 

[NorCalVol67]

I want to see JJ stomp on the jacka$$'s faces at the SEC offices.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

This will be a fantastic motivational tool for CJP, and the team. They will come out for the bowl game on fire.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

The more I think about it the angrier I get.

If they can prove intent, you do a harsher sentence, you can't, you don't punish. This is absolute BS

He was looking away and his chin strap was over his eyes. Either it was unintentional or he's some supernatural kung fu master that can hit/kick things blindfolded.

I love me some dog as much as anyone. But compare what Jennings did to Daniel Bituli's targeting call against Bama.

Even without the "stomp", hard to argue they didn't let him off easy. Sounds like they are doing him a favor. If this wasn't his last game I doubt he would be playing at all.

 

[jdogvol]

Has the SEC ever previously suspended a player for an on-field action that was not penalized during the game?

 

[FLVOL_79]

Well..there goes the bowl game win.

 

[ksgovols]

I agree with Wes Rucker's take. It's a chicken $h!t decision. You can prove it was intentional or you can't. There's no in between. All or nothing.

He wasn't looking at the player when he stepped on him, his chin strap was over his eyes and he was focused on other people. How can that be proof of intent?

So... Hypothetically, you're saying that if you saw something on the ground right in front of you.. Then turned your head.. You could no longer step on that thing without years of martial arts training?

Jesus man. Some of y'all acting like this is OJ Simpson lawyer tryouts.

I only know kung-fu when I'm drunk.

 

[vollygirl]

I guess the positive is fans who were sure he did it can feel validated?

 

[volfaninky]

What about the Georgia receiver that intentionally tried to dismantle someone else on the field?

Yes. 2014. Miss St guy for stepping on a aTm player.

 

[lukeneyland]

FML I figured enough time had passed that we'd have dodged the bullet. Schiano can help facilitate the rape of children and gets nothing, Jennings gets in a scuffle and misses half of his last game. Stupid world we've made for ourselves

I said take the stomp out of it. He drove a guy to the ground out of bounds. Wouldn't let him up, and ripped his helmet off.

You mean to tell me that's less egregious than a targeting foul? Comon' man.

 

[willinhf]

What about the Georgia receiver that intentionally tried to kill someone else on the field?

Already suspended for throwing punch. NCAA rules in that one.

 

[Wormwood]

Absolute garbage by the SEC.... he gets same punishment as George Pickens???? Same guy who literally MMA style fought a GA Tech player and rammed his head into the end zone wall???????

Worst suspension I’ve ever heard of. If he’s suspended half a game, Pickens deserves 3 games for what he did in comparison.
