Urban Meyer takes a cue from Saban

Wow.  Suspended a WHOLE HALF against VANDY!!  That'll learn 'em!  That Urban guy is a tough disciplinarian, all right!

 

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Florida coach Urban Meyer has suspended Brandon Spikes for the first half of Saturday's game against Vanderbilt after the star linebacker attempted to gouge the eyes of Georgia running back Washaun Ealey in a 41-17 victory.

Meyer says Spikes was retaliating after getting his eye poked earlier in the game.

Spikes is fourth on the team with 42 tackles and has three sacks.

He decided to return for his senior season instead of entering the NFL draft. The team's defensive captain has missed most of two games this season with an injured groin. He played only a series against Arkansas and sat out the entire game at Mississippi State on Oct. 24.

Well...in his defense, he DID announce it as a 1/2 game suspension at least.  So, he's got that going for him.

Whatever...It's football, shit happens in the piles, the players know its going to happen. People need to stop being pussies.

Brandon Spikes had better be glad that I wasn't #82 for UGA, because I saw a slab of ribs, ripe for a kicking.

I have to say, I definitely think it was dirty, and certainly should be discouraged from happening, but yeah, people are acting like he raped someone.

I listened to Finebaum today, and he and Tim Brando were in all seriousness discussing how Spikes committed assault and Ealey has a legitimate case to "let the law take over where the SEC and NCAA refuse to."

I think what it must boil down to is bammers looking for any advantage they can get to get into the NC game. They must figure their odds are better if Spikes gets suspended for the year over this...

I wonder if Ely would actually have a case.
