The strongest comments came from Mike Golic, co-host of ESPN’s morning, “Mike and Mike” radio show. Golic has some credibility. He was a defensive lineman at Notre Dame and an eight-year NFL veteran. He has been at the bottom of a few of these piles. So what does it mean when he calls this, “one of the biggest chicken-bleep things I’ve seen in my life”?

And what does it mean when he says it was worse than when Oregon’s LeGarrette Blount punched Boise State’s Byron Hout in the season opener? (Blount initially was suspended for the full season by Oregon. But several weeks later the school announced a tentative reinstatement, and he may return this week against Stanford.)

“You can clearly see Brandon Spikes’ fingers go into the facemask of the running back for Georgia, and, I don’t mean just go in there — go in there and twist around,” Golic said. “It is a bad looking eye-gouge. And I know this guy is a tough player and I know he hits and I know he’s considered one of the best linebackers. But that’s one of the biggest chicken-bleep things I’ve seen in my life. Ever. Ever! To be that good of a player and have to do that – stick your fingers in a facemask and try to blind a guy, eye-gouge him, is pathetic, Brandon! Pathetic, that you would do it!

“There needs to be some disciplinary action. Everybody wants to talk about LeGarrette Blount from Oregon for punching that kid. I’ll tell you what. I’ll take the punch over this garbage. Any day of the week. Any day of the week over that garbage on the field of sticking your fingers in somebody’s facemask and trying to blind him. Stick your fingers in their eye? Are you kidding me…?”

Golic later said: “What a horrible move that is. What a classless, unsportsmanlike move that is."

Nice to see someone say it and not get a fine. Talking about the Spikes thing. Maybe they will increase his suspension. Merge if needed.

Calling out the SEC for favoring everything Florida does. Said the "suspension" of Spikes is a joke, it has to be at least 1 full game. He also called the SEC a joke, glad to see Florida finally getting the negative media they deserve!!!

he was completely in the right to say those things about spikes, florida, and the sec 'governing body'. maybe he was afraid to say slives name for fear of suspension.

Below is a "cut-and-paste" from a rant I was on on a different thread . . .

Wow! Urban Meyer has, yet again, proven himself to be the eptiome of moral character and leadership. After one of his players was caught (in high-definition no less) attempting to tear the eyeballs out of an opposing player's skull as he lay helplessly pinned beneath a pile of tacklers, Saint Urban has drawn his own "line in the sand," sending a clear message that such conduct will NOT be tolerated. The harsh punishment that he handed out to Brandon Spikes was to suspend him . . . for a half . . . against Vanderbilt . . . probably the worst team in the SEC.

Geee . . . the last time I checked LaGarret Blount from Oregon got suspened for most (possibly all) of the season for throwing a punch and hitting a Boise State player (who happened to touch Blount and verbally taunt him after the game was over). Dez Bryant of Oklahoma State got suspended for the entire season because he had dinner with Deon Sanders and then lied about it to the NCAA (incidently, his actions were not a violation of any rules . . . he was just a young kid who got frightened because of the scrutiny and questions. Anyone who has been questioned by cops or by an investigator can relate to the stress, regardless of whether or not you personally did anything wrong).

Meanwhile, Brandon Spikes attempts to blind an opponent who can't defend himself because of all the bodies lying on top of him and he gest a slap on the wrist. Players in the NFL get fined thousands of dollars for hitting someone around the knees because they could end an opponent's career by causing a knee injury. Spikes could have altered that UGA running back's ENTIRE LIFE by damaging his eyes. Not to mention the fact that this is just some gutless, chicken@#$% crap on the part of one of the supposed "pillars" of the Florida Gators team. Great leadership, huh?

I have heard all the arguments: this kind of stuff happens all the time . . . it's no big deal . . . it's football, etc. All of this is complete GARBAGE. Of course, in a society that wants to give a famous movie director (Roman Polanski) a "pass" for drugging and raping a 13-year old girl because he is a "great artist" or because the crime happened "a long time ago" this type of sickening moral relativism is hardly surprising.

All of those who want to talk about how good and upstanding Saint Urban Meyer is need to remember this crap. I have watched these late-hitting, scum-bags play for most of my life, and this is the type of crap that I have seen over and over. Can you imagine a Joe Paterno-coached player getting off for something like this with only a half-game suspension against Northwestern? Come on . . .

Have a good time sitting out for a half against a team that you probably wouldn't have played much against anyway, Mr. Spikes. I'm sure that God (oh, I mean Tim Tebow) will forgive you.

The Florida authorities really need to get involved here. This was no scuffling match.

If you do this sort of thing in public, you're going to pay...and a DA may even find a way to classify it as a felony...that would mark his record forever. We're talking about attempting to cause grave bodily harm here...could easily cause permanent injury/blindness. This can't be treated lightly.

Want to put an end to it? The solution would be let the UGA recipient pick the game to which Spikes would be suspended.

wonder what would have happened if it was Rico McCoy who did the same thing?

slive would have:

1. suspended him for the rest of the season
2. fined and possibly suspended Kiffin for running an 'out of control program'
3. put the Vols on probation for an undetermined time

its pathetic how much favoritism he show urban and the gators.

Yeah but he is THEIR neanderthal. It's completely out of line to gouge out a player's eye. I mean come on. The punishment is laughable. Half a game? Please. I think everyone can see that this is ridiculous. Slive should step in and actually punish him for this instead of his coaches "punishing" him by keeping him out of a half of a game he probably wont play fully anyway.
