they didn't lead with their heads... just so you know:
That's leading with your head, can you spot the difference? It's unfortunate that the kid was hurt, but the play was a legal hit that wasn't malicious at all. It's also kinda ironic a school that is bitching about this hit is also the one that was "playing until the echo of the whistle" when they purposely injured Danny Wuerffel in 96?

Sometimes I wonder about your comprehension abilities, in fact I frequently wonder about your comprehension abilities.
Read my post again. Read the last sentence. Did I say it was a malicious hit? Did I say it was a dirty hit? Did I say he lead with his head? He came through with both the shoulder and head, there was definite helmet to helmet contact. You don't need to lead with your head for that to occur. It's not a play that would have been flagged 10 years ago, but it's a play that is pretty much a guaranteed flag today. I don't love it, but I prefer to not see guys posturing due to being knocked unconscious so I'll live with it.
And the only thing I've been at all bothered by was your absolute nonsense assertion that he should have had his chinstrap done up tighter, which you quickly back pedaled from when it became clear that you didn't have a clue what you were talking about.
