Was Fanning showing a level of hostility on that play? 

I think he just got caught up in the moment and made a play but it was a dumb one. I'm not sure but I think he got pancaked on the next play after the penalty. If anyone watches the replay it would be interesting to know if it was Fanning that got beat, someone did.

That's how I took it too.  Just a young pup who is excited to be in the game and was a little overeager to make a play.  CNS will straighten him out.

I saw Fanning walking funny so he may have injured himself. That was such a stupid, dangerous thing to do.

Man, I hope the kid from Mizzou is going to be OK. 

 

Eli said that when he was carted off the field he didn't wave to the fans or anything like that.
 

I thought he was back in running the ball on the next play...

The guy that Fanning body slammed was back in the next play, but the guy that hit his head hard on the ground had to be carted off as the game was ending.

thanks.  I was on the grill then, and the TV was tuned to the Notre Dame overtime (with the Bama game running on double play just in case someone scored).

one of these days, the OL is gonna cost us a game. I also was not real impressed with our pass defense.

Guess I am just spoiled and expect perfection. But truth is, we have played well in spots..and very poorly in spots.

the 1st thing I thought when Fanning got the PF penalty was
"that was a barner play"  now I remember why ...

"When looking at the video of Fanning’s tackle, doesn’t it look similar to the one Auburn’s T’Sharvan Bell put on Alabama’s Greg McElroy two years ago?"

When Auburn does it and seriously injures our starting QB, it is a great play.  He is a smaller player and had to leverage him down.  That is a completely legal play.  When Alabama does it, the player should be suspended.  Contrast the way the announcers talk about those two plays.

In my opinion both plays where horrible and both guys should be suspended for a game.  In the case of the Auburn play, they knocked out the opposing teams starting QB in the middle of the 4th Qtr in a 1 point game.  The same QB that drove the ball down on them and won the game in the 4th Qtr the previous year.  In Alabama's case, it was a blowout with a young over-eager freshman in the game and no one was hurt (thankfully).  But the difference in the way the announcers talked about it is very telling to me.  Everything they said about the play yesterday was justified and I agree with.  But it makes me want to throw up when I hear them making excuses for that Auburn thug.

exactly Coach 

while Fanning's may be more violent the plays were almost identical
the description from Vern and Gary however were not ...

bet they forgot about this video from before , unfortunately
for them  Mark Edwards did not .
hope they get called out on it myself , probably not but I can still hope .

Hats off the Mr. Edwards for putting this out there , good job Mark ! 

Vern and Gary , add to the list of reasons of why I believe they are the
worst two announcers in college football .
a spade is a spade ...
