Update: Gholston has been suspended for Saturday's game against Wisconsin.
William Gholston and his Michigan State teammates were busy piling up the penalties in Saturday's game against rival Michigan, totaling an Oakland Raider-like 13 for 124 yards. In the clip above, Gholston dives on the pile late before grabbing Denard Robinson's facemask and giving it a good twist.
A few plays later, Gholston was engaged with Michigan offensive lineman Taylor Lewan. As the two players get up, Gholston delivers a right to Lewan's head.
This play is the most despicable because it's a dirty and deliberate attempt to injure. Gholston locks up Lewan's right arm, then rips him to the ground. Lewan briefly left the game.
Without a doubt, Gholston is clubhouse leader for dirtiest player in the game for 2011.
who are you?

STFU, it's football, this is a game for men, not pussies.

When Michigan punches a player it's physical play, when big bad Michigan gets some dirty play given back, then rules have to change and players need to sit. Same old Big Ten.

Good god. Michigan fans are the biggest pussies. Your team gets beaten up and now you whine that the bad men hit you too hard. Those clips are a lot better when you watch them in context. Like Gholston getting his head pushed down to the ground by Lewan or realizing that Lewan was holding Gholston that caused that weird angle that they fell down at. Hypocrites and pussies. That's a Michigan fan.

Those are not the only instances of Gholston's thuggery....

He should have been ejected and while sitting out the 1st half of the next game he could have time to think about it.
That behavior has no place in the game and just for the record I couldn't care less about either team.
