I wonder if Slive slips CUM a brown bag full of cash in a few days. "Sorry sweetie, you know what I had to do, but I got this one"

Does anyone think that this fine happened so now Slive can come down hard on Kiffin if/when he makes an unfavorable comment?

He did have the guts to stick up for his QB. Looked like a cheap shot to me.

I haven't seen it, it does happen quite often with qb's that run the option though.

Was he faking the run at that point or had he pulled up and taken himself out of the play. Most often when I see a qb running the option he is hit because he is still trying to deceive the defense and hitting the hole like he has the ball. If this was the case there is no such thing as a cheap shot, he is a running back at that point engaged in the fake and is fair game......I guess I would have to see the hit for myself though.

It was a cheap shot. However, the way Meyer brought about the discussion certainly makes this whole situation a little odd. Comes after everyone attacks him for not being tough on Spikes. He knew damn well he was getting a fine.

No, I don't think that. He had to do it because he had put his foot down and had to back it up.

He's given the blueprint to get a small fine though.

1.) Send it tape to SEC on questionable call
2.) Next day, the coach can open his remarks with "I love our officials, but <insert "mild" criticism here>...blah blah blah.
3.) Get a small fine

It's going to be interesting to see what Slive does to the next coach, because I'm sure someone else will do it before the end of the season.

That's the thing. It seemed like there would be no action, but if he didn't, basically all the other SEC coaches could say whatever they want. There isn't much doubt in my opinion who Slive considers the most likely to voice his opinion.

I'll be watching the officials for the Ala vs LSU game. What you want to bet the calls go the way of Ala.
If LSU wins, they will go the the SECCG and leave Ala out. Then if LSU can beat the Gators - SEC is out of the NC race.

I love CLK, but this makes it certain that he'll be fined for something very very soon.

Clever accounting to recompensate Meyer was what I was thinking too.

Stupid rule to begin with. If Slive doesn't want negative attention drawn to the SEC officiating fiasco, then instead of demanding coaches, whose a$$es, by the way, are riding on the line....NOT SLIVE'S...he needs to fix it.

I think the AD's and coaches need to put Slive in check over such silliness. When a game get's thrown, the LOSS comes down on the coach...and for some scumbag politician to tell them they have to accept status quo and keep their grievances on the hush....utter ridiculousness.

Just take Fulmer for example. What if the USCjr game last year was such a game, where his entire tenure is about to be flushed down the toilet, pending the outcome of the game. How would Slive feel if he were in those shoes.

As a coach, you'd want to draw some attention to it publicly, as that is really the only way for it to get the attention it deserves. Otherwise, it's all bureaucracy, and nothing more.

IMO Coach Kiffin gets the suspension part of the memo if he says anything else :furious3:
