# | Dadi Nicolas on 2015 Hokies, "I've never been a part of a team that's been more special ever" If Dadi and Ekanem break the QB in half, do they then have 12 men on the field or 10?

# | Dadi Nicolas on 2015 Hokies, "I've never been a part of a team that's been more special ever" If I was any of the two OSU QBs coming off injury, I'd be really scared on labor day, They don't want to get sandwiched by the best DL in the NCAA.
QBs seeing Dadi coming around the corner

Dadi's statement to opposing QBs

*checks calendar*
Sigh, only the beginning of July
This is inaccurate...the ACC has banned noisemakers. Flying deer shooting RPGs constitutes noisemakers.
If you look closely you can see the dragon behind him. So he has no choice but to fight.
...oh there wasn't one...
Then no excuse.
...and turn the hat around, Bro!
Upvote for most interesting gif I have seen all week
Boy, I bet this gets confusing...

This .gif is brilliant and encompasses all of.my emotions right now.
Dear ACC,
Better watch out. We're coming for you.

I guess I just don't like the argument that this is the only option- or even the "responsible" option.
He had every opportunity to walk away. That is the responsible and correct option. In my opinion violence, especially not in self-defense of one's life or from significant injury, is not the responsible decision. (Let's not talk about other circumstances than this one, as that will unfortunately get into dangerous waters for this forum, I think).
My statement is simple: he had the opportunity to be the better person and the responsible party and walk away. He did not, and therefore they are both in the wrong. There is not always one wrong and one right, and just because one person was wrong does not make the other right.
I'm old school. No words needed from now on. All the rest of your talking will done in your opponents' backfields.
What's good for the gander is good for the goose.
I love this! The fact he said "We are better than what you will see on film" I'm sure can really get into OC's heads. That fire in him, the talent available, and Coach Foster... I can't wait!
As Bryce Harper says...... "Where's my ring?"
Chills!
Escalate what? If i'm being hurt, I have every right to do whatever is necessary to protect myself. I'd argue the escalation has already occurred and now i'm just trying to ensure I don't get hurt.
Again, this is if someone - no matter what gender - attacks me first. I'm not advocating hitting first, but if someone does, then i'm going to do what I need to do protect myself.
The only time to hit a woman is if you are at a real risk of bodily harm. He was not at a real risk of getting injured. If she did all that then he shoved her away to stop the whole thing, I could get behind his cause but punching her in the face is way across the line.
Agreed. But I don't think that excuses his response. Not saying it excuses her action, but neither side is "right" here in my mind.
She could have walked away and it never would have started.
You see a slap, I see a punch. That's semantics. I don't think the fact that she hit him first excuses his response. He could have easily walked away, and that would have ended any repercussions right there.
If someone attacks you, it is safe to assume they are doing everything in their power to hurt you.
You don't need to stop, take out your calibrated torque wrench and gauge the power behind the assault and then attack them with the exact same force and technique.
The first individual punched and kicked, the second individual slapped.
So no, you are not responsible to ensure the first attacked receives a sufficiently poor response as to make sure they receive the identical amount of damage as done in the initial attack.
That does not provide carte blanche to pull out weapons unless you feel your life is in danger.
The point of the response is to halt the attack. You ALWAYS have the right to halt the attack.
Mission accomplished.

Watching this gif, do you think she hit him? She may have intended to, but she's too drunk and under duress to threaten him in any significant manner. Then he unloaded on her.
I'm curious how much your viewpoint is theoretical vs what is seen in this situation.
