Confirmed. SEC officials have suspended Mississippi State C Dillon Day one game for actions during the LSU game.

How they came to the determination of intent with the video evidence that was available is beyond me, but whatever.

The biggest complaint I have, is that it is all "assumed" to be intentional AND it could potentially cost us a shot at the West. That is a huge ass penalty for an "assumption" by the SEC. They would never in a million years pull this shit on Bama, LSU, or Auburn, and that pisses me the hell off.

Why would we move a guard to center instead of just playing the backup center? He had one bad snap. I'd rather play the guy used to that position and calling plays from there than moving someone out of position. Center is one of the toughest jobs on the field. Moving Beckwith makes us weaker at three positions not just one.

Clayborn hasn't played since the USM game. Clayborn never redshirted so the coaches were hoping to get him some sort of redshirt. I think those plans may be down the drain now. Desper has been playing a decent amount with the 1's except for the LSU game. We will go with Desper at RG and Beckwith at Center. I would say that's a slight downgrade at both positions, but not a major downgrade. Any way you want to slice it, it hurts.

Call me a bad fan, but I'm as pissed at Dillon as I am the SEC. I want to believe it was unintentional, but my eyes are telling me differently. The fact that he sat down and met with Mullen about it also tells me differently and the fact that he wrote a letter about it tells me differently. Dillon needs to realize we have a chance to have a special, once in a generation type season, and he is a HUGE part of that. This whole thing just sux. This has taken so much attention away from the beatdown on the bayou. And I tend to agree that the punishment would not have been the same if it were a Bama player as they get ready to play a big game.

And there may have been more that I didn't see b/c I wasn't looking for anything. I totally agree it's picking and choosing who to punish b/c half this crap happens on just about every play but becuase of his history, the fact that social media got involved in it and the fact that it wasn't just one isolated play then it doesn't surprise me at all he got hit.

Now the fun comes when throughtout the rest of the year when we get to see how they handle other situations that are similar in nature because there will be at least 3-4.

It looked to me it was unintentional. The guy was running downfield trying to make a block when the play ended. He tried to stop, jumped over the pile, and accidentally landed on an LSU player. What was he supposed to do-just jump into the pile? BS call in my opinion.

Because there was a media circus created by LSU, Les Miles, etc.. That's the ONLY reason it was addressed at all. And once again, if you aren't 100% certain that he did it on purpose! you don't suspend him. And there is zero way of knowing he did it intentionally. So it's an "assumption"...period.

Upon review of game video from the contest between LSU and Mississippi State on Sept 20 in Baton Rouge, SEC Commissioner Mike Slive has announced that Mississippi State senior center Dillon Day is suspended for the Bulldog's next game, which is scheduled for Oct. 4 in Starkville. This action is the result of multiple flagrant and unsportsmanlike acts during the game, as well as previous disciplinary action for similar behavior.

What a bullshit suspension. A half maybe, but a whole game is garbage and another example of selective enforcement by the SEC.

Question. Did Ben Jones from UGA get suspended when he tried to take out Fletcher Cox in the 2010 game? If memory serves me correct he was immediately ejected, hell Day didn't even get a flag on either instance.

maroonmania
09-23-2014, 02:59 PM
Well I'm not really surprised given Miles made an issue of it. First, Day had an in-house suspension on this last year that I'm sure the SEC office is aware of. Second, he had not only the 2 'stomping' plays against LSU but also the late personal foul on top of that. Any of the 3 incidents by themselves in the LSU game would have likely been overlooked but all 3 together were probably more than the SEC office was willing to let go. I like Day as a player but he needs to be on his best behavior from here on out because he definitely has a reputation now. For example, after watching it in real time again last night where he stepped on the player's stomach it did look pretty obvious that he put a little "extra force" on it when his foot made contact with the guy's stomach. Even if he had no choice but to land on the LSU guy the extra push down wasn't really necessary. All Day has ended up doing with this is hurt his own team.

Dawgface
09-23-2014, 03:04 PM
I don't like it either. But if you already have something similar on your resume from another season and get a personal file in the same game as the alleged stompings, its hard to get the benefit of doubt.

Nothing we can do about it now. Just get the boys ready to kick ass. Maybe this will fire the guys up more.

At least our guys do it on the field instead of trying to be billy badass on some Florida beach. You want to play us? Good, come on. Just know that you might get stepped on, you might have someone's nuts in your face when you stand up. You better be scared because we play dirty and we don't care. They can all kiss my ass all the way to the championship game.

email to commissioner ****tard

Commissioner,

Has any of the actions by players #52 and #4 been scrutinized from the game Saturday night? #52 ripped at Prescott's head and #4 kicked him while he was on the ground immediately after the tackle with 17 seconds left in the 3rd quarter. With the suspension today of an MSU player I think it prudent to also take a look at the actions of the 2 LSU players that were very egregious and have no place in our sport. You need to do your job on this and take some action.

And once again, if you aren't 100% certain that he did it on purpose! you don't suspend him. And there is zero way of knowing he did it intentionally. So it's an "assumption"...period.

Look, I am pissed that Day is suspended too, but this is just not a good argument. They are not going to set a precedent that says it is perfectly ok to stomp on your opponents, as long as you make a poor attempt to appear as though you are jumping over another player. That shit would start happening every single week.

And lets be honest.....Day may not have initially jumped with the intent to stomp on that guy, but he clearly saw him laying there and made absolutely no effort to miss him. Hell, he didn't even try to make it look like it was an accident. He was never off balance and he didn't stumble at all when he came down on the guy which means he knew exactly where he was landing....if you are going to land on somebody like that you have to at least fall down to make it look like you made some effort to miss him and like you didn't have perfect control of your body.

The bottom line is, that you very rarely see people get stomped on like this in the open field, and somehow or another this is the third time that Day has done it......at that point, the conference doesn't give a shit whether or not he did it intentionally - they are making it clear that he had better start intentionally not doing it if he wants to keep playing.

Paul brought up a good point. How can the SEC suspend Day for this hit, but not suspend Chris Fairley for his hit on Aaron Murray a couple of years ago?

THAT is the first thing I thought too when I opened this thread.

Sent the clip to a cousin who is a Barn alum - figure since they hate cowbells so much I could get a "neutral" opinion on this. He said "I saw that the other day. It looks like he overran the play and was trying to stop both times.
Then the next day I "heard" he had done it in other games.
I like the nastiness- not necessarily the stomping, but I like the hustle downfield."

Given it was caught on camera in the open field and happened twice about the only way he could have gotten by with it was if he had a clean background on anything like this happening previously. Unfortunately he doesn't.

Why would we move a guard to center instead of just playing the backup center? He had one bad snap. I'd rather play the guy used to that position and calling plays from there than moving someone out of position. Center is one of the toughest jobs on the field. Moving Beckwith makes us weaker at three positions not just one.

Because we will be better with Beckwith at Center and either Desper or Clayborn at guard. I think they know who can play where. the whole deal sux. What pisses me off is it is bad enough that pussified Tigers and Rebs were crying about it but our own Fans were talking up that shit.All Pussies need to move on to Soccer-MSU fans included.
