What's the suspension for intentionally trying to permanently blind someone?

One half against Vandy :wall:

In case you missed it, here is a video of Spikes attempting to permanantly disable a UGA player:

BTW, this is the UF suspension, not the SEC's.

Urban Meyer is a tough disciplinarian. I heard at Utah once, when Alex Smith missed an easy throw, he made him attend class. Crazy.

It obviously wasn't going to be something drastic, like make him study something that slightly resembled an NFL playbook.....

That stuff happens under the pile, right?

He just got caught doing it.

I assume so. A lot of former players, turned announcers talk about how ugly it gets under the pile. This is probably just one example on what they are talking about.

I hope he dies a slow painful death and anyone that tries to justify what he did by saying "that's what happens in the pile" can die with him.

Just because "it happens" doesn't mean attempting to blind someone is ok :salut:

its one thing to take a cheap shot while in the pile. but trying to blind someone is too far!

Unacceptable just as it is in rugby over here. Nothing worse in my opinion. No excuses either by saying "it's a man's game" for instance.

Interesting to read former NFL player's perspective of the incident.

wow Urban Meyer is really tough on his dirty players! i bet he will never gouge someones eyes again:ban:

That’s not who he is. That’s not who we are.

Yes it is. He is a thug and should be in prison and it wont be long until he is there.

Meyer then spoke to Spikes and determined he was retaliating after getting his helmet ripped off and eye poked earlier in the game.

That is a lie. Spikes doesn't strap his helmet on and it falls off. He does this hoping to get a penalty. The guy plays without his helmet more than he plays with it.

I'm glad this is getting so much attention...

I hope Tebow gets slammed for acting like what Spikes did was ok. I also hope to date super models. Pretty sure the super model thing has a greater chance of happening.

So far I've heard these excuses from Florida people...

• UGA went after Tebow's eyes
• UGA went after Spikes eyes (he wears a face shield btw)
• Washaun Ealey spit in Spikes face and he was just rubbing the spit back in Ealey's face and not going for his eyes
• UGA ripped Spike's helmet off
• We did the same thing UGA did

:ban:
