islandtime 0 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 A police dog that can't handle himself in public should either be used for manhunts only or retired from service. That dog should never be at another public event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au911claire 0 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Am I the only one disturbed by that? Remember when UGA went after Baker. Keep the dogs away from the endzone It's a really good chance that the dog isn't actually trained to attack. They're all bomb dogs or drug detectors, mostly bomb dogs on the actual field. I think he was just excited. It was definitely a crazy environment for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven_tiger 5 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Well one doughnut eater had sense enough to place his hand on his dogs head, while the other doughnut eater was inattentive and allowed his dog to bite Powers on the hand. I hope his hand is okay. If you look at it again it looks like Powers wanted to cold cock that dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au911claire 0 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Ok, I have to stand up for those doughnut eaters. They either worked a 16 hour shift today beginning at 5 am this morning or worked a chaotic 12 hours last night and came back early for a 16 hour shift. Can you even imagine how much they're putting up with, while running with little sleep and bad coffee? Cut a little slack...they work hard to keep everything running as smoothly as possible.

TexasTiger 13,138 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Don't think it is necessary, but it probably either goes back to a UGA game in the 80s when the bastages wouldn't get off our field, or a practice decided since 9/11.

I have no problem with the handlers, other than they should keep the dogs further from the field of play. What if the dog had taken off his finger? No excuse. This isn't a freakin' military state.

Raven_tiger 5 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Why not muzzle them until just before the end of the game? I think it's a safe bet that no fans are going to rush the field with 2:30 left in the 4th quarter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyTiger 3 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 The dog that bit Powers wasn't trying to harm him it was a dog being a dog. He got a little excited, but he was wagging his tail the entire time and was in now way being aggresive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dog doesn't bite me when he gets "excited"... he instead reverts back to his Mississippi Leg Hound lineage. Now that's a problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otterinbham 0 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 On a positive note, lacking other alternatives, Alabama named the dog their MVP for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friedchickenman 0 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Well uhh you know it would sure be a travesty if those field goal posts ever went down, so yeah they put killer dogs on the field to prevent it from happening, any word on if Mr. Powers still has his entire leg intact?

Most of those dogs (Belgian Malinois) are slightly crazy yet usually well mannered until told to be otherwise. I would like to know why he was not muzzled personally. And why even have them out on the field that early? Keep them in the tunnel until the last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerStar 0 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I honestly figured that since this was the first game I had seen them at. that they were there to keep the Bama co-eds from grazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GalensGhost 0 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I wish they'd turn those dogs on the referees. What's wrong with these people? The block in the back on the Bama punt return was the most clear violation of that rule I've ever seen. The referee had to dodge the blocked player and was looking right at it, but no flag. The spots were consistently horrible. Spot bama players with the left foot by where the tip of their helmets were. Spot Auburn players with the right foot at their knee or elbow. It was consistently bad all night long. I thought both kicker penalties were iffy and the roughing call on Cox was borderline at best. The interference call that gave Bama a first down was utterly ridiculous. And John Parker Wilson could be thrashing around in the pile until next Tuesday and he STILL wouldn't get in. That was asinine. Glad Auburn won, but frustration over the shoddy officiating tempered it some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were probably going to bammer's locker room after the game, and the Police Men figured, "What the hell, let's catch some of the game while we're here."

I didn't record the game but I was sure on uat's last possession there was a hold on one of their pass plays. An AU lineman got free and was about to close in on Wilson when he suddenly was pulled down from behind. I know a lot of holding goes on normally but I thought for sure something that blatant would've been called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why they are out there, but I agree with the post earlier that they should simply be kept farther from the field. That was definitely a dangerous thing and with 2:30 left?
