Simple question.
Why wasn't Ronald McDonald McClain ejected for swinging at a ref in Alabama's game last night? Why wasn't he removed from the field? Why didn't he even miss a series?
The kid from Oregon gets what could in reality amount to a lifetime ban for throwing a punch, but McClain gets a smirk from Saban?
That seems like bullshit to me.

Because he didn't take a swing at a referee. You can go see on the SEC Digital Network site, he didn't take a swing at the ref. Hands never even came up, I don't think. He bumped the referees as he was jaw jacking the VT player. Two refs were standing between him and the VT player, and he kept walking towards the VT player. Still, what he did was not right and he never should have done it. Definite bonehead move, and I wasn't happy with it.
What started it was the VT player decking him from behind in the end zone as he had turned around after the play. Still, its no excuse. You wait until the next play and show that fucker, you don't draw a personal foul because you're pissed off. Would I have been upset had he been ejected? No. You don't even bump a referee, no matter how pissed you are at some other guy. He was pretty lucky.

How in a worlds-fair fuck can you look at that play and claim he swung on a ref?
-
How in a worlds-fair phuk can you look at that play and claim he swung on a ref?
Or compare it to Blount's knock out punch?? Not even close.
McClain should still be punished. He was wrong and should have been ejected by the ref.

Because he did. Or maybe the referee simply just walked into McClains fist.
He should have been ejected.

Just win baby!

You sir are a liar. I replayed it 15 times this morning, what you are saying is a pure lie. You aren't telling the truth and are a whore.

Do you have a clip anywhere other than having to load the whole game on the SEC site?

Saint Rolando was only protecting himself from a Virginia Tech assassin and was pretty sure that the referees were androids sent from Planet Xernon to destroy us all. That's why he assaulted them. Only when he felt their flesh recoil from his blow did he realize his error. Saint Ronaldo knows that android technology isn't sophisticated enough -- yet -- to accurately mimic human skin.
Thank GOD he was there, though, to protect us all.
What was I thinking suspension? He should get a medal or something.
You fucking apologists are ridiculous. He was not accosted from behind and retaliating. He started pushing at the beginning of the play. Sack of shit revisionists trying to justify his punkishness.
Spin it any way you want, the refs tried to get control of him ... and if the VT guy was the aggressor as you foolishly try to spin it, why weren't referees trying to restrain HIM? So they're trying to control the guy and he's shoving and pushing away.
He should have been ejected and there should be suspensions in the wake. But it's Bama and what else do you expect. Thugs.
Did the guy who assaulted his girlfriend play?
-

You either didn't watch the game and are going off what someone told you, or you are trying to get a rise out of the Bama fans.
-
Saw it with my own eyes. He hit the ref. Should have been thrown out of the game.
-
Anyone have a clip??

You're putting words in my mouth. I didn't even attempt to make it out like McClain was in the right, and you're totally dramatizing it. You are simply adding an inflammatory scenario to it. He got hit after the play by a VT player, and they didn't see it. He decided to finish it when he caught up to the guy down the field, and they saw that. Then he acted like an idiot. The VT player was smarter about it and decided to not show his ass in front of the refs, because he knew they didn't see the first part. Should McClain have been ejected? Probably. Apparently the referees, who were standing there between the two, felt he didn't need to be. I'm guessing they heard what the problem was while words were exchanged. I don't know. But, I'm guessing if they felt an ejection was warranted, they would have done it.

Anyone have a clip??
Right now the only thing I can find is on the SEC digital network, but you have to load the whole game. I just watched the incident numerous times. As the ref was pushing McClain away from the VT player, McClain pushed the refs arms down away from him.
He should have been ejected and deserves punishment, no doubt. He DIDN'T, at any point, hit the ref with his fists, and it was no where near comparable with Blount's right hand.

Sounds fair. As far as the Blount comparison, I think it's fair to say the author of that comment is known for the occassional "embellishment" to make a point.
That SEC Digital site is bad ass! :vn:

McClain was flagged for a personal foul and is walking back towards the huddle. He turns back around towards the two officials (VT guy is 3 yards or so on the other side) and starts thugging his arms around like a trashy punk. McClain then swings his right arm and makes contact with the official to his left, with enough force to knock the refs right shoulder back. Keep in mind that this ref was moving towards McClain to urge him to walk away. The refs momentum was towards McClain, but some outside force caused his shoulder to get knocked back (mysteriously at the same moment fuck head took the swing). McClain gets flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Nah, nothing happened. Defend it, bammers.

Thats for sure. They must have a shitload of bandwidth behind that site though.....I'm on a fiber optic connection right now, so its pretty fast. But still, it seems pretty fast considering....

Was this at the end of the first half? Because I watched the SEC Ditgital Network reply (Freakin' Awesome btw) and I never saw a replay of the incident. If it was the incident at the end of the 1st half, then yes Rolo could've gotten ejected, it was a 15 yard Personal Foul AND a 15 yard Unsportsmanlike Penalties, but since they were within 15 yards of the endzone it was half the distant to the goal, automatic first down.

Wha?? THAT was too much for you??????? That you make the occassional embellisment?? For fuck sake. :eyeroll:
I just saw the clip finally. Definitely the play fits right in the middle of where everyone is describing in my opinion... Amped up, overly thuggish and should have been ejected. Definitely needed an opportunity to "chill out". The fact he wasn't sat or dealt with that I know of is interesting for sure... However, I've come to expect really nothing more from Saban.
-
Please tell me you all aren't waiting for Saban to "do the right thing." :taunt:
Not that it matters. The NCAA is obliged to let people skate right now because they let USC-west coast skate. So, in the grand tradition of yore, SEC schools will cheat like hell to win.
:rimshot: :gig:

I'm uploading it right now. I'll have it up soon in a new thread. As many have already said, it should have been his last play of the game. But to say he took a swing at the ref is asinine and makes you a whore.
-
He made contact with the referee and should have been ejected. Period. You want that kind of behavior on "your" team; no sweat off my balls. The whole defensive team were acting like a bunch of punks. I thought it impossible to out-thug a team like VT, but bama did it. "Act like you've been there before" must have been buried with bahr.
Personally, I'd be ashamed.

Sorry whore, you don't get to back track now that I'm uploading it. You said he took a swing at him.

Even the announcers said it felt like a big-time bowl game. The atmosphere was unreal. Personally, I wouldn't want our defense out there just going through the motions. I want them to show some heart and show a little emotion. Acting like a bunch of punks? Please. Other than McClain's dumbass move, how were they acting like punks and NOT acting like football players in a top 10 matchup? Sounds like a case of the "I wanted Alabama to lose, didn't get my way, so I'm going to bitch and whine".

The problem isn't whether or not he should have been ejected. At least two Bama fans on this thread have already stated so. You stated that he hit the ref with his fist, and that you seen it with your own two eyes. That was bullshit.
As for the rest of the defense acting like a bunch of punks, where and who? Did you also see that with the same eyes that saw McClain's fist hit the ref?
-
I said I saw it with my own eyes. I don't "seen" anything.

Despite the fact that I incorrectly used the past tense of see instead of saw, doesn't change the fact that you were completely wrong with your "fists" comment.

You forgot one....
Because he did. Or maybe the referee simply just walked into McClains fist.
Just admit that McClain didn't use his fists on the ref and that you completely fabricated that bullshit.

Shove, swing, all the same to me.
T.H.U.G.
Punk ass bitch.

You, Wrong, things that are also the same.
Your bias is making you turn drama queen and cry a story that sounds like that duke lacrosse bitch. "It was awful, fists were a flyin'. I was gettin' the rape".

Here's exactly what happened. Rolo was being blocked by that lineman, the lineman was probably saying something to him, because he was shoving Rolo about 15 to 20 yards downfield. The Ref whistled the play dead, the lineman turned back to see what happened on the play, because he was too busy pushing Rolo around, that's when Rolo, cheap shot the lineman...blindsiding him and knocking him to the ground (Flag #1, 15 yard Personal Foul). Then the lineman got up and got in Rolo's face, probably telling him that he couldn't knock him down, without by a fukin' cheap shot....he also probably called him a little fukin' bitch. That's when the Refs stepped in and started separating them. Rolo then threw the Ref's hands off of him (Flag #2, 15 yard Unsportsmanlike). He should've been taken out of the game, if anything, to get his head back on straight. Getting shoved around, 20 yards downfield, on National TV, would probably get me a little irritated. But, what Rolo did was unexcusable and he should be kicked off the team for the rest of the season, that'll teach him to not act like a little fukin' bitch on National TV in a Prime-Time game.

Just saw a close up field level view of the "confrontation" with McClain. First off, the originating pushing over of the VT player was low rent. He was walking away and pushed with two hands in a "swatting" motion, the ref's arms when he tried to get between and seperate him from the VT player. I can see where the "punch/ push" debate can happen. It's all a matter what you consider one or the other. Either way, (and we all agree here) is that he should have been ejected when you combine one with the other. He was out of control.
Didn't happen though. It's over. Fuck it. Par for the course... moving on.

Maybe he just had a flashback to an ex-girlfriend that frequently wore stripes?

Well, for this to be true, he would of had to have been assaulted first, or was trying to save a kitten and was attacked by this VT player. All while simply trying to have a discussion with his girlfriend.

Nah....he didn't try to choke slam the ref.
