Okay he was trying to hurt Hall. But one lesson I picked up after the first time we played him was that Reynolds COULD NOT BLOCK HIM. Why did it take till the second half to start giving him Help????

I didn't see the throat slash, but I do know that he's said some very nice things about BYU before the game and Hall said he is a classy guy, and wished he could talk to Davis after the game. Sure, what he did during the game was more than I liked, but I do think he's a classy guy. He was caught up in the emotion of the game, IMHO.

Here's what your classy guy said about BYU and Max Hall after the game. Even after Max said nice things about him.

They're a nasty football team, but it is what it is. They got nasty, and so did we. I'm sure Max Hall is familiar with No. 44. He'll never forget No. 44 for the rest of his life."

Care to rethink that comment?

Davis is a great player, but he plays too dirty. Shouldn't a tackle to the head be a head shot penalty?

I am all about celebrating my teams victory rather then my opponents defeat, but it was rather sweet to see lil Davis so miserable after the game. Not because I revel in my opponenets misery, but because he was such a punk during the game. He was trying to hurt Hall during and after plays! He may be good and he may be invested in the game but he is a punk! It is always in the dark hours of a loss that you get to see an athletes true colors. When Hall and company lost to the Bruins back in September, even though it was painful and hard to swallow, you better believe Hall and company were there shaking hands and congratulating. After the game tonight where was Davis? He was balling to his team mates (thats fine by me) but then he ran into the locker room rather than congratulating his opponent and facing a loss like a man! Oh well, I will let him off the hook, he probably just realized his football career is over as he is too small for the NFL and will soon have a full time job at 7-11, which is fine by me as well!

Unlike oompablue, I love celebrating my opponent's loss. However, I didn't think Davis was playing dirty pool, I think he knew that they were down to their 4ts string QB and that if he could clean Hall's clock and knock him out of the game, the field would be a little more even. However, I failed to see where he played with the intention to end Halls' career. About his tears afterwards, my take was how important this game was for UCLA. I mean these guys really wanted to win this game, therefore, for anyone to say that BYU should have blown UCLA out of the stadium, let that be symbol of how keyed up they were to play the game. It almost seems like it meant more to them than it did us.

I wouldn't be surprised if Davis was drugged up though. This would explain both his speed and style of play, as well as, his apparent emotional volatility. I can't wait to get a piece of him the 3rd game of next season in Provo. I hope somebody takes it upon themselves to knock him out of the game... not end his career or break anything, just really clean his clock.

Davis is a senior. We won't play him next year. That picture of him crying is the last picture of him as a UCLA player. Save it while you can! Go Cougars!

Davis also said that some BYU fans tried to spit on him. I don't buy that*. I am the only person I know that would be able to spit that far and I was on the other side of the stadium.


Another thing Davis said was, "I had (a player) out there tell me he was going to end my career..." If by end your career you meant beat you in heartbreaking fashion and make you cry like a little baby, then yes, I guess that happened. LINK





* Another reason I don't buy the spitting thing is that all of the idiots in the entire stadium were sitting directly behind me. They were whining the whole game for us to sit down. What a bunch of sallys. I feel sorry now for all you guys that have to endure the west stands for an entire year.
