A half farking game????

Really? Why even bother at that point??

A half farking game????

That's pretty much bullsh*t.

In other news, the Richmond gang-rape suspects have been recruited by Florida.

"We'll see to it they get punished in addition to what the law hands down. I guarantee they'll miss three, maybe four snaps at least."

The sanction is the most shocking since Florida penalized Ted Bundy three quarters for his role as an alleged serial killer.

"We take our ethical responsibilities seriously. Had Ted done that on the field during a game, you can be damn sure he would have had to do Indian Runs all week."

Yeah, even as a Gator fan, that's a bullshiat penalty. That was a super dirty game all-around, but Spikes going for Ealey's eyes like that was farked up.

this is pretty standard across the board. just look at the slap on the wrist they gave wall street fraudsters through the last decade.

Was Spikes the guy from Florida who was calling OU dirty at the beginning of the season?

I love that everyone is pretty much saying "it's okay because football makes you really emotional" They aren't outright saying it but it's not so subtly between the lines. You know what, it's ok to get emotional, show frustration, maybe even push someone but eye gouging is bullshiat. Let's say I got in a heated debate in lecture, after class me and my fellow classmate go at it after class, maybe yell at each other maybe even push each other. Even though technically the push is illegal, if it were to stop there, defuse and both participants were kinda pissed but ok everything would be fine. However, as soon as you try to eye gouge someone it's a whole different ball game.

Who the fark is saying that? Everyone in this thread seems to dislike it.

I meant in the article.
"I don't condone that," Meyer said. ... He got caught up in emotion."
"He's very intense and very emotional and very passionate," Tebow said.
Football is a very physical and emotional game, but there is no excuse for my actions."

At least that's how I interpret Florida's response.

Florida now leads all colleges in convicted felons from their football team, so this isn't surprising. An article in the local Tampa paper today claimed that Meyer was a disgrace to college football - pretty surprising since they usually think the sun rises and sets on the Gators. And that Tebow is the Second coming.

This is pretty hilarious to those of us who remember the "love affair" the SEC had with us in 1984-85.

Spikes should be suspended for more than a half and it shouldn't take conference intervention to get it done. But - and this is going to sound like a copout, but it's true - this sort of thing goes on every Saturday nationwide at the bottom of pileups. It's not restricted to Florida or USC or Oregon or Middle Tennessee. It's football.

It's Great.
To Be.
A Florida Gator.

Link?

Did Spikes' eye-gouging felony put them over the top or what? Because usually, Florida gets a bad rap around FARK for its leniency on crime, so it would be quite the story if the university led all 300something colleges in the country in convicted felons from their football team.

Or, you could just be talking out of your ass, which wouldn't be the first time.

flg8or: this sort of thing goes on every Saturday nationwide at the bottom of pileups.

And when it gets caught on TV, in clear sight, the offending party gets punished.

People may say that but it's not true. The cameras are trained on pileups, Im sure this would be caught a lot more if it happened all the time.

Blount threw a punch and Spikes tried to put a guy's eyes out
guess we won't be hearing any more opposition to Blount's return

Eric Allen and Tony Kornheiser for two.

/Allen was a Raider at least, so you can understand where he's coming from

Blount sucker punches a guy and immediately gets benched, presumably for the season.

Spikes tries to BLIND someone by DESTROYING HIS EYES and he gets suspended for a half.

Stay classy, Florida.

Well he was known as William the Bloody, are we really taken aback by Spike's behavior?

The guy was wearing a shield, there was no way to get to his eyes. It's like condemning me for trying to punch your face through the internet.

only reason he got suspended at all was because they play vandy next week. the sec wasn't even going to suspend him according to the article, it was Meyer's decision.

I don't understand coaches that allow their players to get away with shiat like that. Saturday the announcers were talking about the kid at Oregon that punched the Boise State player after the first game this year. They were saying how great it was that the coach was letting him stay with the team (the practice team for this year) and giving him a chance to reflect on his actions. Bullshiat he got a second chance because he was a starter and can come back next year.

But hell I mean at least the coach took him out for the season. Half a game is more insulting than not punishing him at all.

Yeah I always watch the guys fighting for the ball. We caught that as he was doing something to the guy's face on Saturday because it was really freaking weird for him to have his hands in there. My husband thought he was wiping shiat on him or something.
