    I can feel it through the computer screen. Augh.
  • pintomp3, on 12/23/2007, -2/+108clearly a foul, the guy on the right totally bashed his eyeballs against the fingertips of the other guy.
  • mojaam, on 12/23/2007, -1/+94Wow, that looks scary. Looks like a ninja attack or something out of a Quentin Tarantino movie hehe. His eyes probably looked like Maya from Heroes after that. Here's the color version: http://assets.espn.go.com/media/apphoto/0aa4754b-0 ... and BYU ended up with the win: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/boxscore?gameId=2734 ...

    The photographer said it'll be published by ESPN and SI sometimes in the future on http://www.chrisdetrick.com/blog/2007/12/eye-gouge ...

  • SemiSarcastic, on 12/23/2007, -6/+79If this gets more than a thousand Diggs I'm going to hang myself.
  • AshamedAmerican, on 12/23/2007, -0/+54yeah, a bowling ball apparently.

  • relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -2/+49I guess they weren't seeing things eye to eye.
  • thesonofdarwin, on 12/23/2007, -1/+48I'm usually lax on digging things, but if it has the chance to drive a pseudo-emoan to suicide, I'll take the time to click +1. Good luck.
  • Shawshanksr, on 12/23/2007, -3/+39good god, i hope thats a photoshop....
  • gamesector, on 12/23/2007, -3/+33Yoink!

  • YojimboJango, on 12/23/2007, -0/+26If only all posts could be as accurate and informative as this one.
  • bunjamins, on 12/23/2007, -0/+24Dugg towards the needed 1000 to SemiSarcastics challenge and because I live right next to the Marriott Center and this is the coolest thing I have ever seen come out of it.
  • 1b2a, on 12/23/2007, -0/+22You better ***** do it because I logged in to digg this.
  • bigfinger, on 12/23/2007, -0/+22I'm calling everyone to log in and digg this for sure. Screen shot or it didn't happen.
  • AmICoolNow, on 12/23/2007, -5/+27Oops, I replied to the wrong comment. Bury me.

  • Sil369, on 12/23/2007, -0/+17he thought his face was the ball
  • inactive, on 12/23/2007, -0/+17He was just helping him get a loose eyelash out
  • chaos7, on 12/23/2007, -1/+17how is he not injured by that
  • KingBabi, on 12/24/2007, -0/+16Bitch, I do what I want!

  • markwilcox, on 12/23/2007, -0/+12How will he post it? He'd have to stream it live like that british guy.
  • spargo, on 12/23/2007, -0/+11Umm...Hello, front page?
  • sroop, on 12/23/2007, -1/+12Well, he is SemiSarcastic..
  • EmperorAwesome, on 12/23/2007, -0/+10It's one of those weird things the body can deal with, providing it only lasts a split second. My old rugby coach told me a story about feeling a guy's finger slide over the top of his eye and pop back out in the middle of a maul.
  • pintomp3, on 12/23/2007, -1/+11it looks like a facemask call, but it's not football.
  • sensor, on 12/24/2007, -0/+10Epic fail.
  • chrisbarr, on 12/23/2007, -1/+10more like in the eye of the BALLholder...ha ha?
  • rickyisawesome, on 12/23/2007, -0/+9"You're Doing it Wrong"
  • Poweroft, on 12/23/2007, -1/+10I am crying now, I can't help it.
  • xeno439, on 12/23/2007, -0/+8I guess he confused "keep your eye on the ball" with "keep your fingers in the eyeballs".
  • patch6, on 12/23/2007, -0/+8when's the deadline?
  • AMSRay, on 12/23/2007, -4/+12Walberg's hand position makes it look very deliberate to me. If his hand had been flat with his fingers straight up it would appear more like a legitimate block gone to far. This looks like he was really trying to Tavernari.
  • dezmo, on 12/23/2007, -1/+9web cam ftw
  • LPsoldier76, on 12/23/2007, -1/+8338 diggs when I dugg.
  • Heembo, on 12/23/2007, -1/+8Really, a foul is in the eye of the beholder
  • AshamedAmerican, on 12/23/2007, -2/+9Didn't the alien in John Carpenter's The Thing kill someone like that?
  • echolalia, on 12/23/2007, -0/+7It was featured this week's sports illustrated. Full page and color = 3x more painful.
  • SemiSarcastic, on 12/23/2007, -0/+7I see your challenge sir. Mind if we raise the stakes?
  • LPsoldier76, on 12/23/2007, -3/+9whoops, sorry. burry me.
  • markwilcox, on 12/23/2007, -0/+6Yeah, but all they did was change it from Colour to Black and White
  • SemiSarcastic, on 12/23/2007, -1/+7Oh *****...Are you serious??
  • zachblume, on 12/23/2007, -0/+6WHAT?
