THE TEN MOMENTS OF PURE MALICIOUS FATE, 2007: DORSEY GOES DOWN
Remember: life’s not out to get you . Life will get you, and by “get” we mean “turn into a pile of dessicated bones buried beneath the crushing weight of the earth.” The top ten moments of malicious fate striking for 2007 await you, even if you happened to win the national title.
9. Glenn Dorsey gets chop-blocked.
Oh, sure. Be an optimist. Say it all ended well. Fine–just because fate misses with a bullet doesn’t mean it doesn’t do any damage. All the bitching about having a two-loss BCS winner would be moot if Dorsey hadn’t nearly been maimed by Auburn’s offensive line, who executed chop blocks on tape in both the LSU game and in the Peach Bowl. Without Dorsey and Ricky Jean-Francois (out for season with sprained cerebrum,) LSU had to rely more and more on blitzing for pressure, leaving holes open in the pass D for Kentucky’s endless screens and taking the functional permanent double team out of the middle for the Arkansas game.
Sure, call it a happy ending if you want Pollyanna. We’ll be waiting here with the bucket of tears and bouquet of black flowers for when it all goes sour somehow eventually.
To be continued. Watch your back in the meantime: we don’t think it’s a tumor, we know it is…

I guess beating the Gators 2 years in a row gets a little had for some people to handle?

SevenDickhead,
Hart (twice) and Dunlap were both called for chop-blocking in 2006. Against Washington State it was so prevalent that the ref warned both sidelines to cut it out.
Auburn chopped a Vandy defensive lineman this year, but it was incorrectly assessed as a “personal foul”.
An equally nasty technique is the kidney punch. Watch any Auburn defensive series and notice how many times they attempt to spike the when tackling the opposing RB on running plays. Nall calls this “part of the attrition process”.

Did you get that name looking at Kenny Irons’ transcripts from the last two semesters?

Hey John, there were no chop blocks called against Auburn in 2006. I see you’re inventing thngs agian, just like six of your “12″ MNCs.
Typical Bammer, if the truth doesn’t suit you make up your own.

The reason I came to the barn was because I invented the chop block and noticed it wasn’t being done right. When you chop block you are SUPPOSED to tear ligaments, not just hurt someone really badly. We wan’t to ruin careers here. Will Muschamp was a pussy and left because I chop blocked his ass after the Chic fil a bowl when he got to close to my case of Jack Daniels. Tony Franklin will not put up with pussies who will not chop block and that is why you saw the 2nd noticed one during the bowl game.. they brought me here to exploit our best weapon and we thought we were being robbed by only being accused of one chop block this year. Tony Franklin will also take over as DC because I invented Defense back when I was at Kentucky and taught the world the spread no huddle attack. You got to know defense when you invent such a massive weapon as I did. By the way this time I will keep my cheating on the down low because we are on death penalty watch and sit a top of schools for being put on probation the most (7) .. That is 6 1/2 more times than we’ve won the NTL championship and thay aint happenin on Tony Franklins watch. 1957* baby! Tony Franklin.

I knew this would bring out every limp-dicked Auburn apologist and spinmeister. The fact is, Auburn was called for chop-blocking three times in the 2006 season, and got away with a few more in other games.
Anyone who claims that “freshman lineman” are more prone to this “mistake” blows donkey dicks. As if you aren’t taught not to do this from pee-wee all the way through high school.
Hugh Nall is the master of the chop, and Tuberville has always used the leg-whip, and the knee/elbow combo to the kidney. Ask any member of a SEC coaching staff. Auburn plays dirty football.

Don’t get indignant, all I wrote was that I was not personally aware of any other chop block this season and requested that anyone refer me to one if they were. I see you are not aware of any either.

Of course there were chop blocks called this year on other teams. Are you kidding? There were probably dozens. However, these are the only two that I can recall that resulted in injury and were on national TV. The Dorsey block was not even called a penalty. It was only noticed because he got hurt.

I’m not sure how they practice it, but I do know that the price of lamb forequarters have gone down dramatically in the last few months.

I meant “as long as it’s called”
Sorry for the extra ass.

Joshua, so you’re saying if the refs call it then it’s not dirty? You can face mask and spear all you want, aas long as it’s called. That means the only “dirty” play was against Dorsey.
The only “weak shit” being brought is your sense of logic.

The chop blocks could be intentional or two times may just be coincidence. If there is a third by Auburn next year, is that enough to swing the preponderance of evidenc to intentional? A fourth? How many?
In any case, Auburn is awfully unlucky, they have two and I am not aware of one by any of the other 118 D1 teams this year. If anyone can point to one, I would be interested in seeing it.

Yeah, ole Chaz is confused. He got made into a sit-down-when-you-piss, bitch ass girlfriend by Dorsey earlier that same game. But of course, there’s no way that obvious chop block was just a moment of revenge, just teenage confusion.
Lovingly,
Your Pecker Head

Oh you me. You got me now. That video is garbage. Everything that crybaby bitch whined about in that video was called. The only part he left out was the yellow flag coming in and the ref making the call. USC, I’m sorry you sucked and got whupped. But way to cry like a champion afterwards. And nice try attempting to bring that weak shit sevenDs.
And Gerry, I’m pretty sure I remember you dismissing that video back in the day. But nice job trying to antagonize. I guess that’s all a Tahd fan has left these days.

Anybody who truely believes that Auburn is coaching this chop block bullsh$t, is a complete moron (read: BAMA fan). Freshman lineman make mistakes, hell senior linemen make mistakes. Yes, i was very upset that Auburn did it again the bowl game - not because it confirmed to me they were coaching or doing it intentionally - but because i just knew it would be spun that way. Anyone who has played a linemen position can tell you this happens way more often than called, is very rarely intentional, and uncalled (uncaught) penalties happen in every single game. Grow the f up and concentrate on improving your team and winning games, not finding reasons why its not your fault you didn’t win.
BTW: congrats to LSU and Dorsey - great team and great player.

Auburn is hard at work practicing the chop block on DT robots invented in the engineering… those artificial knees need testing too yanno
they are also testing JATO butt pads for running backs, radar ball detectors in the helmet for DBs, and jaws of death claws capable of reaching 6ft in front of you when activated
all with the help of captured alien technology … see here: http://video.aol.com/video-detail/ufo-sighting-over-alabama/1833986375
