First off..I am a Gator fan of many years..except when they play UT..then I am 1/2 & 1/2..but on the Gainesville Sun page it is clear..I am not sure the punishment is stiff enough??? (I like them dawgs too..in any other game)

A few people on another forum are saying 'Oh thats just how the game is! We were suppose to do that!' but the rest are saying 'You just dont do that!'
I think sitting him out for a half is only teaching him to not get caught next time..

I like a hard hit just as much as the next guy but...
Those are someones EYES!

Agreed!!! Doesn't send out a very good message!!

When he's on the ground in the pile, someone just needs to step on his hand with their heel cleats. A few broken fingers will teach him to keep his hands outside the other guy's mask.

He should have to sit out long enough, so that, if there was any possiblity of awards, for this year, he would not be able to achieve them.

I just looked at the video. It looks pretty bad to me. Half a game isn't enough punishment, in my opinion.

Yup..thats taking it too far. Idiot..

Also a sign of a poor sport and cheat.

Still waiting on reports from the SEC.
I hope he doesnt get away with this. That is just sick.

"The Southeastern Conference has reviewed and accepted the disciplinary actions taken by the University of Florida regarding football student-athlete Brandon Spikes. The university suspended Spikes for the first half of its next game (vs. Vanderbilt, Nov. 7) for an unsportsmanlike act during the Gators' last game (vs. Georgia, Oct. 31)."

I hope Vandy whoops the Gators a good one!


When LeGarrette Blount punched a Boise State player he was out for a whole season. And all he did was punch him (not that thats ok..).
Im thinking the SEC commissioners are helping to keep and SEC team on the top of National Rankings.
I love my SEC football but this calls for a major time out.​
