He sure wasn't BITCHING about the officiating when they played Ark. Now the shoe is on the other foot and he can't take it. He's just a WUSSY.

okay should have said COMPLAING. I hope the get their BUTTS kicked hard this year. I'm going to send him a crying towel

regardless of who you root for, freedom of speech is the key here. Unfortunately, it seems to be very much diluted these days.

I'm surprised 'they' didn't give him 300 lashes

So where does it end? Just because he stated his opinion about a call, does not make it an ethical issue. It would only make it an ethical issue if he was forced to sign an ethics document which stated that he would not publicly criticize the officials for it. So now, technically, if an accountant decided to criticize the IRS, for example, about an audit, that accountant could be fined.

i am curious why everyone - and i mean everyone - especially the media - are gator haters? i certainly do not mind people passionate about their teams but it seems it has gone beyond passion and has become really venomous in the media regarding florida. an example is the supposed "eye gouge" - the "victim" even said it wasn't an eye gouge - i mean, why would HE lie?

again, when i say gator haters - i mean people seem to actually hate the young players - not just the team. when did this happen in college football - cause it didn't happen to the seminoles when they were a "dynasty" even though their players committed actual crimes - the media just laughed along with bowden - and what about the canes? - and bringing it up to date - comparing what blount did to spikes - really! - what is going on here?

This is just stupid. The rule is stupid. Coaches have been complaining about officials since the inception of professional sports. NOT allowing public criticism serves only ONE purpose. It allows the institution of college football to pretend that everything is perfect. This is a horrible rule and should be challenged in court.
