The *OFFICIAL* Brandon Spikes thread (merged)

Publicly criticizing an official will now get a coach suspended for a game or more. Trying to poke another player's eye while your teammates hold him down is worth a half a game. Wow, Slive really has his priorities straight.
 
I have seen worse punishment in High School football for less. Games of suspension were in order in my opinion if not worse.
 
Was this for poking the guy in the scrum after the tackle? if so if it would have been Rico he would have been suspended the season!
 
golic did say it best... "utterly classless"

for slive to sign off on such a weak punishment for trying to blind someone shows which school he favors.
 
Very dirty play by Spikes very dirty. I think a 1 or 2 game suspension should be issued or more. That kind of act is uncalled for and unacceptable
 
slive has to be the worst commissioner for any league or conference in the entire world. incompetent.
 
Makes the SEC look real bad in my eyes. He would go to jail on the street and now he sits out half a game. Unbelievable.

To be fair, if you suited up and drilled someone with a sweet, head across the front form tackle on the street, you'd also be hauled to jail. Just sayin'.

Dang. I wonder if I can cancel the order on Amazon for all that gear.
 
How can Dez Bryant get suspended for an entire season for something so stupid, and Spikes only gets half a game for this stunt?

Pick:

a) Because Bryant lied to NCAA investigators during a formal inquiry about recruiting violations or player benefits, a problem that the NCAA is so afraid of that it spends the bulk of its enforcement resources trying to keep it from getting out of hand;

or,

b) Because the SEC is conspiring within its offices to ensure that Florida and Alabama meet up undefeated in Atlanta so that one of then can go and pound someone like Boise State and guarantee the SEC many more millions of dollars;

or,

c) Because the SEC administration is conspiring with Urban Meyer to do anything it can to make Kiffin look bad. And though they have not exactly figured out how, this episode with Spikes will end up causing problems for UT because everyone hates UT since they fired Fulmer and hired Kiffin.
 
For all of you about to swallow your tongues over the injustice of Spikes getting just a half game suspension, you must keep in mind it is for the attempt and not for the actual act of eye gouging. A one game suspension would have been appropriate.

Of course nothing short of having him kicked off the team and carted off to prison in shackles will be enough to satisfy Gator Haters.
 
104.5 reports that Spikes is only getting 1/2 game. Rip a guys eye out and sit the bench for a half.
 
such crap. i almost never wish harm on playes but i hope someone "accidently" puts their four fingers deep into his eye sockets. he is a d-bag.
