Nickel and diming Urban Meyer

Posted on: November 6, 2009 1:50 pm
Mike Slive is for real. Well, his threat is for real.

The SEC commissioner wasn't playing around when he fined Urban Meyer $30,000 for a mild rebuke of officials. There is no truth to the rumor, though, Brandon Spikes escalated the fine to $60,000.

While this amounts to nothing more than a used Lexus for his kids, the fine is still significant for Meyer. It sends a clear message that Slive isn't fooling around. Just wondering why it took 50 hours from the time Meyer said, "That was a penalty, in my opinion," to the time the fine was handed down.

Batting next, Lane Kiffin. Can he keep his mouth shut?

not even close - the SEC & Bowl Corruption System

I don't think any rational observer thinks the SEC is "kidding around" - they know that the fix is in to get 2 undefeated teams to play in the SEC NCG.  This silly diversional tactic fell flat.  The officiating speaks for itself.   Even if coaches are silenced, our eyes still work.

I think its hillarious that Kiffin got everything going and Meyer criticizes is the one to get penalized.  All the talk about Kiffin running his mouth, and Meyer is the one that got fined.  I bet Kiffin has a nice smirk on his face about now.
And to answer you  question.  No.  Kiffin cant keep his mouth shut, but he knows how far to take it.  Apparantly that's one lesson Meyer could learn from Kiffin.

What is hillarious is your ID.  Ha ha ha.  Guess you'll have that one for a long time!  Urban Myer is about winning championships and that's what we do.  UT.....not so much.  I think the highest paid coach in the country can afford $30K.  Chump change which is something I'm sure you chumps understand.  Go Gators, looking forward to kicking some volunteer booty around again next year.   1998,  Ha Ha Ha!

Swamplife:


    Go ahead and be giddy for the rest of this season because they (NCAA) will not allow Tim Tebow another year of eligibility...awe shucks! Remember as you fling dung other SEC schools way that this fine conference was built by Alabama and Tennessee many a moon's ago, and not just since Spurrier came into the SEC which is about the length of your school's success...period! Tennessee still holds the record in the NCAA for longest streak without back-to-back losing seasons...so who's chump-poo???

What is hillarious is your ID.What is hillarious is how many bandwagon Gator fans there are nowadays being Florida never even won the SEC outright before 1990.
Yes,  I am proud of that 98 championship and the great football I've seen since the late 80's from  UT.  I just wonder how long these Gator chumps, I mean fans,  will support Florida once they start losing again?  My guess is they will just jump on the next bandwagon that comes along.  In about 2 years,  the UT one will be full so get on now.

lol.  It's not like Urban Meyer himself is going to pay this.  The media will suffer in so much as the majority of the SEC coaches are now going to restrict their comments to the bare minimum.  Little of this, little of that.  Interview over. 

Ho Hum.  Case over, let's play ball.

The way I remember it, Florida was absolutely destroyed by Nebraska in the Championship game in Jan. 1997, then UT took a similar drubbing from Nebraska the next year. Then UT won the National Championship before Spurrier got his, so whatever.........

it's still 3-1 in Vegas that between UT and Florida that the Gators  will land on probation first, and it takes a LOT to be put on probation.

As for who got fined, who really cares anyway. The one correct comment here is that you can silence the coaches, but we all have eyes.
And I'm a UT fan but I'll defend Meyer here. If  "That was a penalty, in my opinion," can draw a 30K or 60K fine then the SEC needs to be shut down and put out of business. Who is running the SEC anyway? Joseph Stalin? A fine should be for unreasonable or unprofessional criticism, but not a generic "opinion".

it's a ridiculous fine no matter who you cheer for.

Ok Dodd, you got what you asked for, Meyer was punished.  Now can you please move on to someone else?  Your constant Meyer bashing is getting old.  Maybe a case of writer's block?

The Gators will be back to losing after Shane Matthews leaves. After Wuerfel is gone. After Doug Johnson? Maybe Grossman? How about Leak? Well I guess it's really over after Tebow is gone. Give it a rest. Florida has been the best team in the SEC since 1990. That's about a quarter of the SEC's existance. Maybe this Florida is good thing isn't quite a fad anymore. Florida hasn't had a losing season in 20 years. No one else in the conference can make that claim.
