The Genius that is Mike Slive

Slive could not have handled the past few weeks any worse. Not even a little bit.

The fine meant for CLK hit CUM right between the eyes. Is this a great country or what?

When Meyer writes the check to the SEC he will have to put on the memo line.....for violation of the "Kiffin Rule" :eek:lol: :good!: :pepper::post-4-1090547912:

Well he did get it right. For all the hoopla, criticism, and bad PR, Mike Slive did what he had to do. . .

I'm with PapVol, fining Meyer is the only thing he did right for the last month. He never should have thrown the gauntlet down on that rule in the first place. So he did what he had to do, but only b/c he screwed up to put himself in that spot in the first place.

Unless I missed it he didn't suspend. CUM was just fined. I haven't quite made up my mind on this one. Obviously the rule is ridiculous. However, CUM isn't stupid. He either did this to flex his muscles with Slive or he wanted to start the ball rolling. I think it is the latter. If you fine CUM for a first time offense then you obviously must suspend CLK for the next.

I guess the SEC stands for Socialistic Egomaniac Comrade. Slive is really embarrassing the league. It is not like these officials are volunteers. They are paid well and as far as I know their names have not been mentioned by any of the coaches in public. The first amendment is out and the dictatorship is in. It is time for a new commish.

Considering that for the last week, most of us questioned whether Slive would do anything, the suspension at least punished Meyer publicly.

But i agree that a fine is the lesser of the two punishments. And I still hold that to some degree Meyer did this to deflect attention from Brandon Spikes attempt at gouging a players' eyes.

I can't stand Urban Meyer......and would be truly impressed if this fine actually does come out of HIS salary. But, there is more at stake here. Every underdog team about to pull an upset has felt shafted. MANY actually were. I honestly believe Arkansas had the Gators whipped a few weeks ago. I told the people watching with me to watch closely.....the officials won't let it happen. They were amazed. So, does a coach just take his loss and keep his mouth shut? And, this sets a precedent.......you will take your scewing and your team and go home and keep your mouth shut.

Ok I am behind on this thread. Did CUM get fined and/or suspended? (I am using the BBerry tonight and don't have a good signal so don't chew me out for the question)

Please never use Mike Slive and genius in the same sentence.

....but he is. First he creates this new weird rule, seemingly because of Kiffin but he has a bigger plan and the perfect time to execute, then he get's Urban to break it almost instantly. Now people are going to think he has no favoritism towards Florida. :crazy: Genius I tell you.

This was pure luck that CUM screwed up. I believe that CUM thought he was safe in what he was saying. Slive took advantage to show he "show's no favoritism." Obviously the blind squirrel found his nut in CUM.

The idea of 'genius' (ie. his doppleganger lookalike Einstein) is tongue in cheek. He did something, but still a far cry from what he told Lane in Reprimand #2:

". . . The next time you, or a member of your staff, make public comments of this nature, you will be suspended from all coaching duties for one or more games, and the institution may be subjected to a substantial fine. "

Slime left an out for himself. There is a clause that says that the amount of the fine and/or the length of the suspension is up to him alone. We all know that 11 of the coaches in the SEC will be fined, and only 1 will be suspended.
