Norm if you read RIUTG's post he was not replying to you. Your post was fairly classy. I completely disagree with you on the head slap and i did watch the whole sequencing of events. Maybe I missed it, but deliberately trying to tear another players knee up is uncalled for even if there was head slap (I'm not condoning a head slap at all that's wrong, just merely stating head slap or even a punch out of frustration is not even close to the same level as trying to blow out another players knee). Sending three players to block an up back (not punter) 30 or more yards away from the play seemed a little suspicious.

I would be more inclined to believe you that the players aren't told to do that if it hadn't have happened so many times, and then to have the Somerset fans boo when Bryant got up from that cheap shot was extremely classless. I hope I am wrong about what was going on out there on the field but there have been more posters on here who seen the same thing, some not even Whitley fans (at least not to my knowledge).

I think the play he is referring to is a simple blocking technique that Whitley has taught for years, even when we played colonel. A lot of people dont realize that black was our defensive coordinator under Campbell for years and a dang good one.
I believe bryant was simply trying to fire his hands of and get into the "v" when his hands went high, which is to be expected from a kid thats twice the size of the entire somerset team.
