Actually, he was just agreeing with you about the suspension likelihood and you misunderstood.

A suspension of Fanning is probably deserved but won't hurt us as a team. The only reason he was in the game in the first place was because it was mop- up time.
This thread is going to get back on track and away from the stupid sparring. I hope all are understanding this. Drop it and discuss the game - not what who said when, where, how, etc...
How about we all agree that Fanning's play was unnecessary and unsportsmanlike and leave it at that. Saban and the office will handle it as needed. I don't think I've seen him play much thus far so I'm sure he was a little over excited. One play doesn't make him a thug.
It's kinda sad, because he's a player with a great deal of promise. I just hope it's a lesson learned...
I posted about the fear of injury in this game and am just glad it is over. At least Mizzou showed grit. They kept fighting. Hope everybody heals up and hope some grow up.
I agree with you, though I don't think anyone referred to Fanning as a "thug."
I'm sure we won't hear anything until Monday. I'm sure he's going to be very sore tonight and even more tomorrow, but, if he could come back, I'd be very surprised if he can't play next week...
Saban said the doctor wants to monitor it for 24 hours. But that he doesn't think it is serious. I guess we will know at the next press conference.
Really love the possibilities Simms brings and the limited package we've seen so far. Could really catch some teams off guard with him.
The QB takes the ball and either gives to the fullback/RB or follows the fullback up the hole, sometimes with a pitching option. I think it is sort of an off-tackle run with the QB.Elaborate, please...
