WTF?
Her Loyal Sons — Seriously, WTF? I’m somewhat at a loss for how to approach College Football, and Notre Dame, right now. Everything is all over the freaking place… Brandon Spikes pokes out eyes. (Boo). The dude who’s eye he tried to poke is 100% COOL WITH IT. WTF? Blount gets a season-long suspension for a punch that, at worst, could make a dude a little woozy.

Everybody freaks out, saying how it was just a slap on the wrist, how Meyer sacrificed his values for an over-emphasis on winning. Twist!... The dude who got his eyes gouged says he doesn't think Spikes should be suspended with some inexplicable quotes: ...
