" GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- With all the negative attention "weighing heavy on his heart," Florida linebacker Brandon Spikes asked to serve a full-game suspension for apparently trying to gouge the eyes of a Georgia running back.
Coach Urban Meyer obliged, saying Wednesday that it was in the top-ranked Gators' best interest that Spikes sit out Saturday's game against Vanderbilt.
"I really don't want to be a distraction to the team," Spikes said after practice. "I want the guys to prepare without any negative things going on, and I feel like if I would play, it would be a big thing going on. I'm just trying to stay out of the way and just motivate the guys." "

This is stupid. As a Gator fan and a football fan this is stupid. Way to act soft Spikes...do something hard and then act like a soft wussy. Play the game, play the game tough and don't regret poking at someones eye. Poking eyes in pile-ups goes all the way back to the days of pee wee. Do what you have to do to win, take your half game suspension and move on...its not like you pulled an Albert Haynesworth and stomped his head out with your cleat.
The #1 Gators are facing off against a 2-7 Vanderbuilt team. Spikes will not be missed and Florida will win by 50. Count on it.
GO GATORS
