Exactly! What will Slive do now that Meyer has basically done nothing. Suspension for the rest of the year just like the thug from Oregon sounds about right.:BigA::BigA::BigA:
when your football program really only has 20 years of worthwhile history, you tend to condone things like this. You only care about the winning....there's no history or tradition or class to hang your hat on......or your mullet, or whatever.
PDX Gator, if someone from Vanderbilt or some other team now goes to gouge Tebows eyes, something that I would never want to see, do you think the player that did that should only be suspended half a game?:BigA::BigA::BigA:
I can agree to a point, most fans are homer when it comes to their teams. But in this case, if a Bama player had done this I would want him to pay a price much worse than a half of a game. It would depend alot on the player and his attitude and if he had gotten in trouble before. If trouble free I would think atleast a game would be called for but if he had been in trouble before I would prefer him get two games all the way to the rest of the season.
Here is what you don't seem to understand, most Bama fans don't want one players actions to ruin the Bama reputation. We have a tradition and no one player is worth ruining it. And the Upshaw incident has nothing to do with what Spikes did. What Spikes did happened on the field and Upshaw's didn't and you don't know what CS did to punish Upshaw. Sometimes with off the field incidents shouldn't have a on the field punishment. On the field incidents should always have on the field punishments.

Just in case Pee Wee X didn't read the whole thread, and missed this.
Every pore.
I guess my answer is, it depends, it depends on what the standard is for punishing such behavior...
Why don't many the SEC football experts on this site list for me all of the suspensions the SEC has handed down for similar behavior, when there was no flag called on the initial play...
What is your argument, based on facts and past precedent, that suspending Spikes for half a game is too lenient?
Do you have a single example where another SEC coach handed down a harsher punishment in a similar situation?
Since Bama fans "ooze class with every pore" please list for me all of the times that the great Bama coaches of yore have suspended bama players for on field transgressions similar to the Spikes incident.
I heard that Rolando McClain actually lost his temper and pushed a referee in the Va Tech game.
Was he suspended for 2 or 3 games, I forget.
Basically, if Spikes lost his temper and hauled off and hit another player in a fight, by rule he would have been suspended for one half of the next game.
Why isn't that the proper punishment in this situation?
Unless someone among the hundreds of posters here who seem to be losing sleep over the welfare of one UGA TB Washaun Easley can point to another rule, another prior situation, another example where another coach punished his own player for doing something dirty like Spikes did, your arguments and complaints aren't very persuasive.
I wonder what you would tell a young son or daughter who witnessed the act... :conf3:
You are funny.
What you say makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, and just repeating it a second time doesn't help.
What does Bama fans' outrage over what a player did on another team across the country 2 months ago have to do with anything?
No one said bama fans don't get outraged over bad conduct, I did say that Bama fans seem to get very outraged over the bad conduct of other players, but they seemed to excuse and look past Courtney Upshaw's bad conduct pretty easily back in August.
So unless LaGarrette Blount has transferred to Alabama, what bama fans think of Blount has nothing to do with anything.
But now that I know how you roll, I will look out for your post repeating it a third time.
No, you suggested that our outrage was self-centered because we might play you in the SECCG. His post was in response to that.
Please find me evidence of such behavior. Video evidence will suffice, thanks.
I heard Tebow doesn't like girls - does that mean it's true?
You think that maybe - MAYBE - an actual referee would be able to judge the behavior of a player whom you suggest actually struck him?
I saw BS obviously trying to disable a player. Amazing you can't see the difference.
Of course no, more finger pointing, zero accountability.
Par for the course.
I would say it was wrong, and the player was punished...
No said what he did was right, but I do call out all the outrage here as based more on the fact that the player wears a rival jersey...
..and I do point out that all the supposed outrage here over the alleged leniency of the punishment is bogus, b/c no SEC team has done anything more in a similar situation.
What would you say to your daughter about Courtney Upshaw, do you use "behavioral probation" as a punishment in your house?

Of course, but our gator friend won't bring that up as it doesn't fit with his 'but everyone else is doing it' argument.
Still waiting for our gator friend to actually condemn BS's behavior and suggest what sort of punishment he would deem appropriate for someone attempting to actually disable someone - potentially for life.
I have two boys, and I talk to them about personal responsibility and consequences almost every day. If I knew the stories to be true, I would tell them what I told you - that a person who does these things is not worthy of my time or respect, and is certainly not worthy of wearing the Crimson jersey. Orange is a more appropriate color.
As for CU, I only know what I have read in papers. Given how often reporters get things wrong, I feel that Coach Saban is better positioned to decide punishments - especially since he has proven that he is willing to bench good players for breaking the rules in the past. If Coach Saban thought that the allegations were accurate, CU would have been suspended. Of that, I have no doubt. He is not like your beloved Urban Meyer...
