I guess if Spikes had succeeded in actually Blinding the player, Florida's coaching staff would have suspended him for a whole game.

Spikes benched, tried to gouge Bulldog

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida coach Urban Meyer has suspended Brandon Spikes for the first half of Saturday's game against Vanderbilt after the All-American linebacker attempted to gouge the eyes of Georgia running back Washaun Ealey in a 41-17 victory.

Mike Golic rips into Florida Gators linebacker Brandon Spikes, who appeared to attempt to gouge the eyes of a Georgia player during the game on Saturday. Golic calls it a "classless unsportsmanlike move."

Spikes was retaliating after getting his eye poked earlier in the game, Meyer said Monday. The Southeastern Conference said it will look at replays of the incident later in the day.

Spikes is fourth on the team with 42 tackles and has three sacks.

He decided to return for his senior season instead of entering the NFL draft. The team's defensive captain has missed most of two games this season with an injured groin. He played only a series against Arkansas and sat out the entire game at Mississippi State on Oct. 24.

A video from Saturday's broadcast shows Spikes shoving his hand into the top of Ealey's face mask at some point during the game. It appeared to be an attempt to gouge Ealey's eyes as the Georgia player lay at the bottom of a pileup after a play. A flag wasn't thrown on the play, which was captured clearly on CBS' national broadcast of the game.

The Gators are atop the BCS standings for a third straight week and No. 1 in both polls.

Spikes led Florida with a game-high 10 tackles as the Gators held the Bulldogs scoreless in the first and fourth quarters, bookends to a futile effort by quarterback Joe Cox, who finished with 165 yards passing, two touchdowns and three interceptions.

Did you hear that the Ohio State University library burned to the ground? All five books in the library were completely destroyed and the football team is really upset by the fire; they hadn’t colored in two of the books yet.

What Spikes did was wrong and he deserves to get benched. But Georgia played dirty the ENTIRE ball game. They tried to hurt Spikes on one play and hurt him bad. No he shouldn't have retalitated, but that was an ugly game and Georgia was by far the ugliest. They played the whole game dirty and deserved every penalty they got and should have gotten a few more. They were out for blood, not a win and I blame the coach for that.
There was so much unsportsmanlike conduct in that game and the majority of it came from Georgia. I'm disappointed in Spikes. He's a good player and he should know better. Georgia should too and I hope their coach does some preaching on it as well, but doubt it. This has been the way Georgia's played for the past few years, so it isn't going to change anytime soon, I'm afraid.

But really, we're playing Vandy next week, so it's not like it's going to be that hard with out him.

AshleyPSU and Unklescott: is it true that when Big 10 teams play conference games they use Nerf footballs?

Don't count my 'Dores out . I was on the sidelines at Dudley Field in '69 when they beat Alabama 14-10.
Whoop, he has to sit out half a game. big punishment.

[myrosiedog]

Last year, I wouldn't have counted Vandy out. They beat Auburn for the first time in 50 years AND went to a bowl game. This year, they are not looking so good.

ETA: This just in: Brandon Spikes was performing a public service. He's an optomology major and was just checking out the other players pupils.
