Brandon Spike is without question the best defender on the Gators. Where do you think he ranks amongst other LBs in the country? He didn't have an interception leading into Saturday's game... then he caught two!
I'd put him behind Mauluagu of USC and maybe Laurinaitis at Ohio St. He's not far behind them though.
That punt was unacceptable.
I'd suspend him for the first defensive series against Kentucky, but I'm sure I'm the only Gator fan that feels this way.

Granted that was stupid but I don't think what you suggest is necessary.
^^ I think you're overreacting. Let the players have some fun. It was a blow out game and Spikes was enjoying himself. Do you think Caldwell was wrong for throwing the ball into the stands against FSU last year?
What Caldwell did was slightly different.
Caldwell was performing a "tradition" that I believe Carlos Alvarez started. Caldwell had earned that right; he was a senior, it was his last game in the Swamp, and he was probably excited that he was going to finish his Gator career 4-0 against FSU.
So no, I didn't have a problem with what Caldwell did.
Then you shouldn't have a problem with what Spikes did either. It's contradictory. Spikes was excited that his td helped seal the blow-out victory against the number 3 team in the nation. Just like Cladwell was excited he was going 4-0 against FSU.
I believe Spikes play has "giving him the right" to celebrate after a HUGE touchdown like that.
