So that's what we do now? Complain about penalties that weren't called? Georgia had a pretty legit gripe when Spikes attempted to gouge out Ealey's eyes, so Florida comes back with this? Not even a dirty hit, but a late one? Let it go, Meyer. Act like the bigger team for once.

I can see an 'Urban' renewal in 2 or 3 years...

... meaning, Meyer will move on to an NFL challenge.

His ego is huge enough for him to take his Mickey Mouse offense to the pros... where it will attain the same result as Lou Holtz's and Steve Spurrier's.

what good does it do now? A really really late flag thrown?

Like starting a campfire to divert the attention away from the forest fire. He needs to move on to Capital Hill.

If you would have done the right thing with Spikes initially Urb, this would have gone away. That joke of a suspension you handed out is your own damn fault. One of your best players got caught trying to gouge out someone's freakin eye. Maybe as good a football player as he is, he might also be just that stupid.

That would have to be a huge ego to go down that road. I gotta believe that coaches learned a lot from the Spurrier fiasco.

Did Spurrier learn from Holtz?...

... there are tremendous egos involved man.

Besides, not all college coaches fail.

Remember, Bill Walsh was at Stanford, John Robinson was at USC...

Walsh attained ultimate success (Super Bowl) and Robinson had moderate success (consistent playoff teams).

Look like The Pope is taking a page from Spurrier who use to cry repeatedly about FSU hitting Wuerfful late....

Wahhhhhhhhh!!

Get off the cross Meyer someone else needs the wood. Big baby.

Complaining about another penalty... It's getting tiring. Meyer won't get "reprimanded" anyway like Kiffin or the MSU coach.

I so wish everyone would just **** about that... Apparently none of you have ever played football, or know anyone who ever has... That crap and alot worse happens in the scrum from HighSchool to the NFL.

I'm so anxious to see if the new SEC rules on speaking out against the officials apply the chosen one.

Actually we, UGA, didn't even gripe about the gouge...that was just something that was caught on youtube. In fact Mark Richt and even Ealey (the eye gouge victim) said they understood...it's a tough game, it's a rivarly, it happens.

Why in the world Urban is coming out with this now, I have no idea. Especially when Mark Richt defended Spikes.

I'm with you, Ramone.

That was one chippy game, even for Florida-Georgia standards. Live and let live I think is everyone's answer to that game...

But what the f is Meyer thinking with this move? Of course he's an incredibly cocky dude, but I've never seen him make a bad political step. To come out with this on a Wednesday means it's a calculated step, not emotional.

IMO, it's completely uncalled for. I'll be interested to see what happens. No Spikes AND no Meyer v Vandy?

That would even the spread a bit!

Obviously the ref had something in his eye.

What shall we name the SEC? The unsportsman conference or the whining conference? I'll stick with the much over rated conference. How about the national championship game being Oregon/Florida. No penalties for unsportsmanship and the winner will be cleared of all sins.

Or up his nose.

Complaining after the fact will never get results it will only make you look silly...

Jimmy "there are no East Carolinas in the NFL" Johnson. If he stays the Boys get 4-5 straight. Instead he leaves, Switzer screws things up and squeaks out a 3rd before Jerry trashes the team. Boys haven't been back since andhaven't won a playoff game since 96.

I didn't say it doesn't happen. We all know (especially those of us who played past pee-wee) it does. But back then there were not cameras everywhere. Spikes is a dummy.
