hastingshusker Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 Guess I'm the only one interested in this. Wasn't there a big deal made about this kind of thing with a Florida player last year? Quote Link to comment

GMoose Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 The Ben Cotton ordeal has got everyone in a twist. This kind of stuff happens all the time after plays and in piles. Does that make it okay? Absolutely not. But if anyone thinks it only happens to us or everyone is getting away against us is naive. Quote Link to comment

Im not naive enough to think that this never happens, or only happens to us. My point is this has happened before to other teams (I am pretty sure there was a Florida player a year or two ago) and something comes of it. I know it happens...it happens to every team, but when you get caught something should come of it. Im surprised nothing was said on the telecast about it. Quote Link to comment
whateveritis1224 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Brandon Spikes got suspended for a half for trying to gouge an eye. Quote Link to comment

How do you know that he was trying to gouge the guy's eye and not that his fingers got caught in the facemask? It's hard to tell from that picture. If that's the play I think it is where Broyles muffed his second punt, both him and the Nebraska guy dove for the ball, so too me it just looks like he got his finger caught in the facemask. If he really was trying to gouge the guy's eye out, you would have gotten a reaction out of the Nebraska player, but I didn't see any. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 (edited) IIRC Broyles was wincing as he recovered on the sideline right after that. edit--Or I might have been thinking of another play. Edited December 5, 2010 by BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Quote Link to comment
hastingshusker Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 I have it on DVR and we rewound it and Broyles hand goes in and out of the facemask at least two times (could be more but the refs leg was in the way). There is no way you could say that his hand got stuck. Brandon Spikes...THANK YOU I remembered the media making a big deal about it, but couldn't remember the guys name. Quote Link to comment
schuhbdoo Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I remember the NU player let go of the ball right away. Maybe that is why. Quote Link to comment
ZRod Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Brandon Spikes actually suspended himself for what it's worth... Quote Link to comment
hastingshusker Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 Brandon Spikes actually suspended himself for what it's worth... But there was pressure put on him from the media when it was caught. Im wondering why there's nothing here...and no its not "They hate us" or "its Bebe's fault" Quote Link to comment

Im wondering why there's nothing here...and no its not "They hate us" or "its Bebe's fault" Very, very true. But it may have had something to do with them being #1? or top 5 at the time?
