One of the things I frequently deal with in work is videotape that looks bad, but has to be put in context and the people involved spoken to before you reach conclusions.

If they are a Florida fan do you immediately side with them? Or vice versa for a rival fan? I wouldn't be surprised.

Spikes is clearly driving his hand into the opening in the face mask.
Guys, do not let LG take you down the "lets be sure" road. There is NO DOUBT that Spikes was trying to injure his face.

Don't argue with an idiot.

Sometimes things are blantantly obvious. This is one of those times. No if's, ands, or buts. No different than the Albert Haynesworth incident in the pro's.

I have put t-town on my ignore list. I would wager, however, that he is just insulting me, yet again..

Sometimes they are - you're right. But what I have found is that you don't know whether you are dealing with one of those times or not until you talk to the people involved.

Spikes may simply say I didn't intend to hurt him, and that would not be proof enough for you to dismiss the issue. But, he might say, and here's why with an explanation that makes sense. All I am saying is find that out.

I agree that the initial hand may have been accidental. However, the digging that follows is absolutely deliberate and no amount of spin by you can change that.

He clearly cocks his arm to an angle that there is NO DOUBT what his intentions are. He went after his face.
A UGA lineman sees it and reaches pull his arm away.

Spikes suspended for eye gouge

He's out the first half of the Vandy game, just saw it on ESPN. I honestly think at least a game was deserved.

ESPN just reported Meyer has suspended Spikes for the 1st half of the next game.

Tough penalty. And against Vandy of all teams. How lame is that?

A whole half against Vandy. Oh noes. He should get the same treatment as Blount from Oregon.
