Go to a gators message thingy and you all can expound on how awful this hit is. Suprised you would feel the need to wonder why no one cares about this over on the ORANGE side.

The same guy who defended the eye gouge by trying to say that might not be what actually happened, having watched the film, now imputes motive and doesn't understand why we aren't all jumping on board to agree. You give gators and the legal profession a worse name and that is hard to do.

Oh, I'm not suprised in the least. I just view it as my duty to stamp out intellectual dishonesty wherever I might find it.

That's why I am closing in on 20,000 posts here at VN.

You could easily double your post count if you applied this same rule to your own posts...

Oh, no, I completely endorse talking to the UGA player and finding out what his rationale was for looking around and watching the player with the ball 10 yards up field, then running smack dab into Tebow's shoulder. Perhaps there is some benign explanation. He deserves to be heard, I agree.

Spikes was asked and evidently did not lie about it at all and got punished. Wonder what the UGA player would say if asked ....

I have to think that through... I think there is a decent joke at my expense in there somewhere....Just got to hunt it down.

Another interesting reality, the GA player didn't whine about Spikes eye gouge but guess who did whine about this one?

YOU (collective VN reference) whined about the eye gouge. YOU (same reference) are dismissive of the late hit on Tebow. YOU (same) defend on grounds Tebow wasn't hurt, while ignoring that Easley also wasn't hurt. YOU (ditto) say Easley could have lost eyesight, conveniently ignoring that Tebow was post concussion and such hits could be very damaging, if not worse. YOU (repeat) claim that Meyer is a scoundrel for not suspending Spikes for the season, that the incident with Spikes is representative of UF players in general, and that SEC officials did nothing about it, while remaining silent as to absence of ANY punishment for UGA late hit on Tebow, no casting of apsersion towards the Dawgs, generally, and no consternation that the SEC has not, on its own, looked into the late hit on Tebow.

I think it pretty obvious what camp of folks is being a wee bit inconsistent here.

Are you kidding me? Kiffin has elevated whining to an art form.

Urban's calling my recruits, officiating sucks, yada yada yada.

He hasn't made any formal complaints. Your school can't say the same. The thing about Urban calling his recruits wasn't whining, no matter how you want to look at it.

It was a late hit cheap shot on Tebow. Should have been flagged. This type of thing (when caught) never gets a player suspended. However, the coaches should chew his butt out for it being a dumb play and unsportsmanlike.

The eye-gouging was clearly a more serious offense. My distaste with the whole thing is the manner in which Meyer handled it. Spikes at least manned up and admitted it was a terrible thing to do.

To suggest the two are equal so you can play a little gotcha hypocrite game is the same intellectual dishonesty that you claim to combat.

Weak.

Also, if a hit of that nature could have hurt Tebow's brain, he doesn't need to be on the freaking football field.

This exactly...

but it falls on the deaf ears of the ignorant.

I agree......... Late hit should have been 15 yards

I agree..........the SEC refs have missed and manufactured some calls this year

I agree..........that they have changed the outcome of 2 games (LSU/GA & fl/MissSt)

I agree..........CUM should be reprimanded

I agree..........Spikes should be punished
(even the thugs of the NFL would suspend & fine him for that)

I agree..........LG is a &*%$#@
correction..... LG is a whiney &*%$#@

Nice try but not buying it on the hypocrite accusation, you have proven once again that you're just a gator homer who is taking up bandwidth on this board. You and your ilk have been accusing us of talking about the eye gouge thing and blowing it out of proportion all week and there is an enormous difference between fans talking about an incredibly cheap and admittedly premeditated malicious attack and a coach calling someone out on a roughing the passer penalty which didn't get called, especially after St Tebow essentially says that all is fair in war and football.

It is obvious from the video that Williams was trying to pull up and momentum carried him into Tebow. I applaud the young man for attempting to avoid Tebow.

I agree. Tebow has such great ball skills that clearly he was just confused about who had the ball.
