Like he said, go back and watch it again. It was in no way dirty. The duck was the dirty one.

By the way...Chizik agrees with me...

Anyone that has has EVER played football knows that the coach is ALWAYS pissed at the player that got a penalty, no matter what the reason.

I guess we all missed that big assed yellow cleat in Smith's crotch. I'm sure it was a passive mistake on the Oregon players part. We really do not see enough of the play to get a true picture. We only see the retaliation. And retaliation is not "DIRTY". It is emotional. Some of you act like you have never been on the field before.

As an aside. I do not want him back either. I just never though the play was "dirty".

Yeah, your idea of kneeing the shit outta someone and mine are apparently different....because I'd consider that a leg bump to his ass...definitely not "a kick to the head" as aubie16 stated, also Eric Smith did put his hands up which means he didn't do anything and that he's innocent.

Now there's the type of go-getter I want on my team. Kid's a real up and comer. A double tough competitor, not afraid to mix it up, get his hands dirty.

We need a Jerome "Stay outta my yard" Bechard type enforcer.

Bham Bulls, early 90s - that guy was great

Glad someone remembered, lol. The Bulls had the scariest fucker in the sporting world, that played with reckless abandonment, and people forget about him??? Come On PEOPLE!!!! I loved watching him fly down the rink and elbow the opponent in the mouth, basically destroying his face. Now that was a Damn Enforcer.

So, I heard another rumor today that Smith may be coming back. Anyone have anything on this? Some may not think it's that big a deal but I tend to believe we need this guy badly. Our numbers are going to be razor thin at RB and a big, experienced 240 pound body back there would be huge to me.

Rumors? Gossip? In-your-end-o's?

I just read on another site (AuburnEagle) that Eric Smith was back on the team.

A source close to the team informed me that the coaches laid out a plan for Eric Smith to follow in order to be back on the team and he has followed it. Eric has changed his ways and is back with the team.

Rule #1: Stop hitting women.
Rule #2: Stop hitting men in bars.
Rule #3: Don't get caught on camera kneeing opposing players in the ass.

I hate that he's back on team, I think it's a terrible move.

It seems to be a split 50/50 opinion on that. Some like it and some don't. I for one wouldn't have never thought anything of it, him not being on the team that is. I would be willing to bet the coaches haven't made it easy for him at all. I guess if he is able to work his ass off and get his mind right then I'm down with it. I guess I'm just gonna have to trust the coaches know what the hell they're doing.

I would agree with you under normal circumstances, but Auburn doesn't need something bad to actually occur to have someone write about it and give us a black eye. Why not take advantage of the fact that all we get is bad press anyway?

If he so much as spits on the sidewalk, I want him gone. That's how short his leash needs to be.

He'll be picked up by a team just like Darvin. Has an attitude on and off the field. Has good hands and plays special teams as well. We need a legit fullback, I'm just not sure he's worth another chance.

We don't know the details. Maybe Eric Smith really changed and somehow proved it to Chizik. Maybe Chizik recognized that our running game greatly improves with him.

I don't know.

But I know this - our running game just greatly improved with him coming back.

I heard he agreed to be a Tigerette for free over the summer.

You do know that Smith is a cyber ninja.

Bingo.

Told my wife a long time ago, if you're going to accuse me of cheating and berate me as if I had every time I look in another direction? I'm going to do what I'm being punished for.

If he's back, good. We need some fire. We need a dude who'll knock somebody's ass out in defense of a teammate.

Agree Jumbo.....but we have no idea what happened or the context of the incident. I would like to think The Chin knows the deal and I trust him to keep this little peckerhead on a short leash. If we weren't as low on schollys as we are or shallow in the backfield, I would 100% agree with you. But we really need the guy this upcoming season. Lutz needs to be a true TE. We need more than just him in that bruiser/short yardage/wheel route role.

Also, as JR and Kaos said, they are gonna talk shit about us anyway. Might as well get our money's worth.
