You’ll gouge your eye out!

To sum up the last three weeks: Oh my. A last-minute, game-winning field goal against Arkansas; a sloppy victory in Starkville; another rout of Georgia; and now Gougegate.
I don’t condone what Brandon Spikes did. But football is a violent, violent game, and when Georgia players were blatantly taking their own cheap shots, who knows what Spikes might have been responding to (that the cameras and the officials didn’t catch)?
And: Pat Forde is a douche.
Spikes’ action reminded The Dash of a moment from the 2006 Colonial Athletic Association basketball tournament. Namely, when George Mason guard Tony Skinn groin-punched Hofstra’s Loren Stokes.
Going after a guy’s eyes is more serious because of the potential damage. But the two acts are similarly classless.
Really? Punching a cat in the groin could cause significantly more damage, given Stokes hoped to continue to have testicles in working order. But I digress.
Speaking of working order, this blog will be back in such a state soon. Bring on the Commodores.
