I still periodically reiterate that I never approved of the ‘Meyer-cheater’ comments, etc. It’s just assumed that I think that way. And that’s fine; nobody should really expect sports fans to be a rational bunch. ;-)

I believe that Meyer should give a 1-game suspension because

1. Spikes got caught, so I think that there should be something more than a little slap on the wrist (which a suspension of one half is) if for nothing else to tell the big public we-don’t-know-that-football-is-played-dirty-and-war-is-fun crowd that it’s not allowed (even though we all know it’s okay).
2. It’s Vanderbilt for Pete’s sake! Brandon Spikes hasn’t gotten a lot of playing time in some bigger games this year, and Florida is still undefeated.
3. However, on that note, Brandon Spikes is a Senior; he’s given 4 hard-fought years to the University of Florida and seems to be a pretty good guy overall. I know the area where he grew up and my girlfriend, who was in the same graduating class as him, does speak good things of what she knows of him. I suppose I would like to see a full game suspension more than a half-game, but I do believe Mr. Spikes will learn something out of this, so I’m okay with it.

This is from your above comment.

Do I need to embed the Spikes video along with the Williams video? It’s not really that necessary since I already linked to it, but I’ll be called biased if I don’t because then I’m only embedding the malfeasance of one team and not the other. I better do that. Should I run down all the shoving matches and rough play of the game?

For what reason would you mention the roughness of the game if it weren’t to excuse Spikes actions? That is clearly what you are doing. And you are very very appropriately getting blasted for it. If you want the discussion to go away, then simply refrain from trying to justify Spikes actions — as your are plainly doing in the above-quoted portion and previously did at TSK — as some kind of unavoidable direct consequence of a rough, dirty game. No. That is not how it works. Late hits are commonplace. Chippy games are commonplace. A premediated attempt at blinding another man by gouging his eyes out is in a completely different galaxy.

In sum, the reason you are hearing a broken record of criticism, is because you are inviting it - in fact begging for it - with statements like the above-quoted.
