The new dance move sweeping the nation: The Urban Back-step

What a sacrifice by urban. Does he really think it matters at this point?

And let me just add.....UM invented the backstep.

 

[rhYno]

And he only done it to avoid further criticism. What a true man and leader you are...

 

[TommyMac]

Too late Urban, you've already shown the CFB world your true colors.

I just saw it myself but if you can't come up with the right answer yourself should you get the credit for getting it right. UM is a little too late but atleast we now have the right answer.

 

[NYBamaFan]

At least he finally got it right, but he still has not condemned the actions...

 

[BLAKE55]

Everyone is entitled to make an error...but this seems more like a controlled burn from a PR perspective instead of correcting an error because it is the right thing to do.

Without the media blitz and public ridicule would Urban change his mind? I guess we will never know but I certainly have an opinion.

An additional angle to this is the SEC comes off looking weak yet again. They back up UM only for UM to say he was wrong...where does that leave the SEC?
Thank goodness for quality athletes...the SEC sure isn't the best athletic conference in the country because of Slive or his fellow goons in downtown B'ham.

Who made this decision? We know it wasn't UM. It had to be the prez, AD, or commish,,, but which?

Urban side steps to the left, then right, then scoots out DT_wcj:

Reported as self-administered by BS: (click video header for story)[ame="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4623708"]Florida's Brandon Spikes suspended himself for the entire game vs. Vanderbilt - ESPN[/ame]

Im just glad this is all the media has to talk about instead of our game.

 

[NYBamaFan]

Well, kinda a classy move by Spikes. Doesn't make up for it, but still...

Agreed - perhaps he has learned from it...

 

[BAMAFEVER50]

this stunt probably just cost Spikes an award or too. Many people think he is as good as Ro.....not even close.

 

[#1sabanite]

my question is if cum's wife had not said something to him would he even went back and looked at the play ?

Per Lane Kiffin -

"Yea, I saw it on replay. It was pretty bad," Kiffin said. "But we are worried about our team and what we can control. We have a lot of work to do. Obviously, Urban will discipline his team. Or not."

 

[BocaLance]

Nice of Spikes to offer to take the whole game off against Vandy.

 

[ROLLTRIBE]

He should be kicked off the team and charged with assault.

Nice of Spikes to offer to take the whole game off against Vandy.

I'm sure Urban tried to talk him out of it... :biggrin2:

 

[NBF_Bama_Cavalry]

Well, kinda a classy move by Spikes. Doesn't make up for it, but still...

After last Saturday, using "classy" and "Spikes" in the same sentence doesn't fit. Come to think of it, Florida and class doesn't fit either. Maybe they should just change their name from "Gators" to "Hurricanes".
