This is ridiculous he could have given the Wisconsin player a concussion. He should be suspended for the season

Uhhhhh.....not cool. That hit was malicious and dangerous. This kid should be out at least half a season for that. Just totally unacceptable behavior. 

Dude's a thug.  The NCAA would love you to believe all of these guys are "scholar" athletes but we all know that's very far from the truth in many cases.  Without football a vast majority of these guys (esp. in the SEC) would never get in these schools so the behavior isn't that surprising.

I'd love for a coach to kick a kid off the team for something like that. I wouldn't want to be associated with a player that took such a vicious cheap shot. But after Jeremy Hill, I actually expected this out of Les Miles.

Well, he did sit out for the final kneel down, so that's basically a game!

- Les Miles

Eye for an eye.  Someone gets a free late shot on him.  He gets up and walks away, fine.  His career is over, fine.

I'd say at least two games if not more. 

I think he got an appropriate suspension. It's controlled aggression out there and he lost it for a moment. Shit happens...move on.

Les Miles is no longer fit to run that program and should be relieved of his duties, I never seen a coaching staff waste as much NFL taste as his has in the last 5 years!

You know guys, I'm almost thankful we went through the pain we went through to get to where we are now having Harbaugh, arguably the best coach in all of football (college and pro).

We'd have a potted plant at QB if we had Les Miles and who knows what losses due to clock brain farts. Not to mention no discipline.

was still live, I think he needs to be held accountable for his actions.  Claiming ignorance is not a valid excuse for anything.  There are rules and he broke them.  I get that kids make mistakes, but at some point you have to throw the book at them and let them suffer for their actions.  This hit could have severly injured the Wisconsin player.  I think a several game suspension is warranted. If i was Les, he would no longer be on my football team. 

ABC (espn) really didn't try very hard to get a good angle on the replay, and yet the live feed provided the best angle possible on that hit. However that still does not top the Wisconsin player who tried to tear Steve Breaston's ACL on a punt return (for which he was never punished nor was it ever mentioned)

on LSU's sinking ship seems fair.

(Seriousness, should be a 3 game suspension)

He's going to miss the game against Jacksonville State. That's going to be tough.

This is ridiculous. Just as ridiculous is the suspension of Jabari "Nutstompper" Ruffin who only will sit out the first half USC's next game. Fucking ridiculous. 

Was #4 (i think)  on Texas who sent Torii Hunter Jr to the hospital with a concussion, obvious helmet-to-helmet hit across the middle of the end zone no less and no flags anywhere.  Team loyalties put aside, I thought it was a complete and utter biff on the officials.

Cockran smashing Morris in the skull, etc.

I personally believe it should be reviewable if there's an injury of that type requiring an officials' timeout.

ejected he has to serve a 1/2 game suspension from the NCAA anyway which means LSU basically tacked on a 1/2 game suspension.

 

Overall I think this punishment is pretty weak.

There is precedent for a much larger suspension, and its from the NHL!  Even back in 93, the NHL sat Dale Hunter for a late hit after a goal that was very similar to what Boutte did.  He got 21 games - including some playoff games.  It was a HUGE penalty at the time, but the hit was universally disgusting.

Boutte should see something similar.

Once you just view the players and these games as simple entertainment, the emotional attachment leaves.

The NCAA and its officiating is the worst part of CFB.  Targeting isn't called enough, and the penalty in CFB is too harsh, so it doesn't get called for fear of influencing the game too much.  The NCAA turns a blind eye from the SEC and players payment.  They tout 'student-athletes' and 'protecting players', when everyone knows its not true.

Whatever.  Football is the circus part of bread and circuses meant to keep the masses entertained so they don't focus on their pitiful lives and overthrow the government. See it for what it is and move on.

It doesn't really matter that their next opponent is Jacksonville State.  In SEC country, if your players do something incredibly stupid, they don't sit out the very next game.  The coach waits for a cupcake opponent and makes him sit out for that one. 

Five years ago, LSU's starting QB and another player were arrested after a bar brawl, beating 4 other men up just one week before the season opener.  They both played in that game, which was a top 5 matchup against Oregon.  Les made them sit out the next week against Northwestern State. 

If that was a Michigan player, you can bet Jim would rain the fiery wrath of hell upon him and probably wouldn't let him play for at least half, if not the rest of the season.
