I don't have a problem with a player not helping another one up. I don't condone what Brandon did either, but my husband said he noticed after Brandon's helmet got knocked off the first time that he had been poked in the eye and could even be heard saying "I'll get you back", so I think he was retaliating for a prior attack on him. It's not a good idea, but then Brandon's never impressed me as being a turn the other cheek kind of player.
I don't know if anyone heard the pre-game, but while on a quick Publix run of game supplies I heard Mick and Lee talking about the game and Mick mentioned that last year Urban used the Dawgs end zone dance for motivation and this year the Dawgs were going to try to use the time outs...what did the team use for motivation when Lee was a player. Lee sort of snort and said "We hated them! We just hated them." What more needs to be said, Brandon just hates them! :D ----- Original Message ----- From: Ken Kirkley To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, November 01, 2009 10:12 AM Subject: [gatortalk] Re: Brandon Spikes getting aggressive in the pile I saw this during the game and yes it was dirty play. I don't like to see it, but I do believe this was one of the dirtiest games we have been in. From The beaten pup who refused to give Tebow a hand up off the ground, the chippiness of the pups, the pulling on ankles, etc., etc. The pups came into this game thinking they could smash us in the mouth and we would back down, instead we gave them a taste of their own medicine.
