Your doubts are valid, Mike Slive can't go to the bathroom without Jeremy Foley's permission.
UF-UGA was a nasty game, UGA had 4 personal fouls in the first half alone, UGA was flagged for pulling off Spikes' helmet after plays were dead, once SPikes got his hair pulled from inside his helmet, Spikes was supposedly spit on by the TB he was retaliating against, Tebow got a finger in the eye and had to leave the field to wash it out...
in the middle of the game the refs called the team captains out and warned them to stop the late hits and skirmishes after almost every snap...
Spikes got caught on film playing dirty, in a dirty game...
none of that makes what Spikes did right, but it does give it context.
It is good to know that Bama fans have such a high sense of justice and fair play, your outrage is inspiring, I am sure that the fact that the player in question is a star player on the team between you and your dreams of glory is pure coincidence.
Dream on.
