Spikes Goes Berserk On Players’ Eyes



From GatorSportsNation.com: http://www.gatorsportsnation.com/football/spikes-goes-berserk-on-players-eyes.html

Most of Gator Nation probably missed what Brandon Spikes did following a tackle during yesterday’s game against Georgia. In case you missed it, here is the video of what Brandon Spikes did.

Now that we have all seen this horrific act, we can only imagine what possible fines or suspensions could stem from Spikes’ actions. During the game, Spikes and the “Eye Gouge victim” were jawing all game, and Spikes was getting a lot of shots taken at him from Georgia players. Still, this is no excuse to brutally attack an opposing player, and in my opinion, I think he will face atleast a 1 game suspension.

GSN will continue to track any discipline actions towards Brandon Spikes, and once any word breaks, we will post it here on Gators Sports Nation.

Sprints go to top-ranked Florida, which pounded reeling Georgia 41-17 in Jacksonville but lost some chits when All-American linebacker Brandon Spikes was caught on camera by CBS blatantly eye-gouging Georgia tailback Washaun Ealey in the pile.

"That's how they play," said Ealey, who called such dirty tactics routine for the Gators after gaining 70 yards on 17 carries in the loss. "They got me on the ground, and they were doing it all night. The refs just weren't seeing it."

That's well beyond unacceptable, and it makes you wonder about the character of guys like Florida coach Urban Meyer and defensive coordinator Charlie Strong; you can't miss such behavior on film. SEC commissioner Mike Slive, who is so fond of dispatching formal reprimands for actions as picayune as questioning officials, should have the brass to act immediately given such an egregious display of unsportsmanlike conduct; anything less than a one-game suspension of Spikes would represent a scandalous show of favoritism by Slive.

Of course, somebody should give Georgia coach Mark Richt a poke in the eye for subjecting fans to those black helmets; if you're going to go gimmick, your team better show up (see Kiffin, Lane).
