Dirtiest Hit of the College Football Season

During the #10 Arkansas - Vanderbilt football game Saturday afternoon, Arkansas gunner Marquel Wade LAID OUT Commodores' punt returner Jonathan Krause - so much so that Krause was writhing in pain after that hit.


Deservedly so, Wade was ejected from the game - you can see in the above video that he was showboating, taunting and gloating after his hit - UNCALLED for in this day and age of football safety.

The play reminded me of a similar hit the Carolina Panthers gunner Dante Wesley made on punt returner Clifton Smith. The only difference was that a fight did not break out in this weekend's college football game.

The Two Rams Games that have Haunted Me

It's now two hours until kickoff, and as we get ready for the 2-1 Redskins (WOOT, WOOT!) to face off against the 0-3 Rams at the Edward Jones Dome, I fear the inevitable will happen: the favorites (Redskins), picked by many to win this game, create mistake-after-mistake to cost them a victory against the heavy-underdog Rams team. It's happened before - actually two times the last three years:

Yikes! And to add insult to injury, Rams offensive lineman Richie Incognito blew his fuse and got a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty near the end of the game, but kicker Josh Brown nailed a 50-yard field goal (instead of a 30-some-yard FG) to win the game.

We-Didn't-Come-to-Play Game

This game involved the 0-2 Rams against the 1-1 Redskins (again, favorites for this game). But this time, w/ McNabb at QB, the Redskins didn't show up. The big 40+ yard run by S-Jax (Steven Jackson) in the 1st quarter was the big dagger/big hole that we were unable to overcome come the second half. Despite him leaving with a groin injury in the 2nd quarter, we just could not stop the Rams offense offensively.

So, my question to you is this: Which Redskin team will show up? The one that defeated the Giants, or the one that created multiple blunders against the hapless 2011 Cowboys team/2008 + 2010 Rams teams of the past three years?
