I am a diehard UK fan, but I also call it like I see it:

1. Cousins should have been ejected and suspended for the Georgia game... the forearm was deliberate and an embrassment.

2. This goes back to the other thread...but the reason UK shot free throws is because there were two technicals on UL and only one on UK. Delk got a technical and so did Swopshire.

3. Speaking of Swopshire, he is every bit as much of a "thug" as Cousins for his actions. His knee came up twice and clearly made contact with Cousins head warranting a retalliation. The part EVERYONE OVERLOOKS, that to me is the worst part of all, is the fact that Swopshire threw a closed fist punch in Cousins stomach after Delk shoved him. It was an intentional swing, it was closed fist, and it was a sucker punch as everyone was focusing on seperating Cousins and Delk. You can see it clearly on this video at the :21 mark... Cousins' head is turned and Swop hits him in the stomach and then quickly backs away. A low down, dirty, sucker punch.

Swopshire should have also been ejected and suspended at least one game. The rule book doesn't single out excessive use of a forearm, but it does speak specifically at taking a swing and connecting.

UL fans think Cousins is the anti-christ... but IMO, Swopshire was the man who not only started the altercation, but also the last one to throw a drty shot in.
