its so stupid...i mean only one half of a game for doing something that obvious and just plain stupid

Gamecock Brent · 11-02-2009, 09:30 PM

that is why these kids are not scared to do this kind of thing. no punishment.

poppabeary3 · 11-02-2009, 09:36 PM

Agree 100% with the OP. Blount's was too stiff and this "punishment" ie missing a half against a 31 point underdog is way way way too light.

SwampFox · 11-02-2009, 09:49 PM

I hope the video of the attempt at eye gouging does for Spike's pro chances what a picture of a Tater a-hole name Kelly did to his. The picture of Yusef kicking at the head of one of our players ruined his chances at a career in the NFL. May the same thing happen to Spike for his thuggish behavior.

Luke Skycocker · 11-02-2009, 09:52 PM

why even suspend him at all if its only going to be for a hlaf?

Yes, Brandon Spikes was caught on jamming his fingers through Ealey's facemask on Saturday. But I must say that being punched in the private area, and having your hand stepped on by someone with sharp cleats hurts much worse. Before you say there is no excuse for Spikes’ conduct, you might want to ask why. What if three plays earlier in the game the running back kicked Spikes with his Spikes? Just one dirty play for another dirty play and he got caught. Either way its not right. My question to the NCAA is this, how is this incident any different than what that RB did this year when he punched that guy out after the game? The NCAA needs to step in and suspend Spikes for at least 3 games.

(a) Article from the OP

Quote:

Eye-gouging is considered such a foul, filthy act that it’s banned by even our most blatantly combative exercises, including mixed martial arts and pro wrestling.

This is true, and in the first forms of Roman wrestling, there was only one rule: no eye-gouging. Hence the expression, "it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye."

Halltj2 · 11-02-2009, 10:27 PM

Again the thing that I just really don't understand is their next game is Vandy, why not just give him the entire game off and at least act like you're actually punishing him...its just a joke all around...i hope he gets whats coming to him

ShutTheSuccop · 11-02-2009, 10:30 PM

The title of this thread is misleading...that would imply that some type of punishment has been handed out

He is much more talented than Kelly was at his respective position, so there's one reason he will still get a chance in the NFL. Nevermind this league lets other convicted felons play.

I believe I would rather get punched in the privates and have my hand stepped on with cleats than to lose my eyesight.

Anyone have Mike Slives email addy???? We should all email him and let him know the SEC needs to police this crap up instead of the inmates taking care of things.

Spikes confessed his sins to Pope Urban, and all was forgiven in Gayvile.

Guy could not defend himself. Disgusting. No leadership from a senior. Shows the real Myer.

11SWU10 · 11-03-2009, 12:35 AM

Nothing like Oregon deal. Stick your face in someones face after a tough game expect a broke nose.
