Brandon Spikes tries to blind UGA RB on purpose (3 Viewers)

so he gets suspended for the first half of the Vandy game...:idunno:





why not the whole game?
 
Agreed, there is a MNF game tonight, I think. I'm not going to argue about something that is unjustifiable. I just wanted to let everyone know there is another side to this than OMGZZ Brandon Spikez iz a thug.
 
I saw that during the game - I couldn't believe it.

Suspending him for one half sends no message whatsoever IMO.
 
It is unbelievable how people will try and justify this type of behavior by blaming someone else, as if he had no choice. What happened beofre or after is irrelevant....he made a dirty, horrible play on a guy and got no punishment for it. One half of a game....what a joke. At UF they play a non-conference schedule that they should be ashamed to produce and then show again that they care more about winning a game than doing the right thing.
 
Well eye gouging goes on a lot in the pile and that was a baaadd one...I seriously do not know why they haven't made everyone wear the visors. That should be mandatory on all levels (HS, college, and Pro) is only adds safety to the players.

I'm not defending Spikes. What he did was wrong. Georgia was not lilly white. Spikes actions were similar to Kyle Turley's. Not right, but I can see what made him mad.

It sounds like you're defending him. You even posted the least helpful YouTube video in his defense. Spikes is a dirty player.

But its not all bad news. Somebody needed to fill Rodney Harrison's shoes.
 
Tebow also noted that Georgia was also using tactics that were similar to Spikes. Several Gator players complained about being poked in the eye during the game _ including Spikes, who also had his helmet tore off during the contest.

"I don't think that we did anything in that game that they didn't do. If you go back and look at it and study it, you can see it in the film, too, it was an intense game, both teams were very passionate about it,'' Tebow said.

I'm not defending Spikes, but I'm not going to sit here and let yall act like Georgia is lilly white. Spikes is a dirty player. I don't want him on the Saints. I don't want any UGA players either...especially not Jonathan Sullivan.

Or Jon Stinchcomb after that block last night? Turrible.

:jpshakehead:

Grant and Stinchcomb are both from UGA.
 
I'm talking about future draft picks, and I meant another Jonathan Sullivan. I don't think the Saints are going to go out and sign the real Jonathan Sullivan tomorrow, nor am I advocating cutting Grant or Stinchcomb. I'm saying UGA is a dirty team, and they always play the Gators dirty. They are like the kid down the street that you would always play in sports and when he couldn't win on the field, he would resort to trying to hurt you. There has been continued malice ever since Georgia ran out on the field to celebrate their TD against the Gators two years (or three cocktail parties) ago. Richt reminds me of Haslett in that he tries to befriend the players and allows them to do juvenile stunts like that. I wouldn't put it past Richt to encourage his players to play as dirty as they do against the Gators. You don't know anything about this rivalry if you think Georgia doesn't come out looking to hurt UF. They are dirty and I don't want them on the Saints. Grant, Stinchcomb, and even wretched Sullivan are all from a different era of Georgia football than this current cheapshot era.

Because this current crop of UGA players are immature and have not been taught discipline by their coaching staff. On the whole, they don't seem to be "Payton-type players." Maybe they have a few model citizens, but on the whole, they seem to try to make up for their lack of talent with cheap play.

The pile is a very dangerous place.

I remember reading about Dick Butkus (may have been Nitschke or Curtis) in the pile. Whoever it was said he was on the bottom and two fingers snaked their way inside his facemask. he thought "Some *&^%$ is going for the eye gouge" and bit down as hard as he could. One problem, they were his own fingers :covri:
