Congrats to the Gators on their 10th arrest since the national championship game, somehow without one story questioning whether Meyer has lost control of his program!

And the tenth came in style, too — a food fight.

Hardly a food fight. It was more an argument between customers and an employee at a sandwich shop. I haven't seen the full report, but there's always a chance that the employee made rude comments or said something that might have been misinterpreted.

Maybe -- SO THROW A SANDWICH AT HIM!! GOOD IDEA!!

But here's some solid reporting from that article: "The report did not specify exactly what kind of sandwich struck the victim."

I don't know about you, but I always get offended when people ask me to pay for the chips I'm eating. I usually throw things at them, too.
 
I'm sure he'll be suspended for the directional-school game next year, whenever that is.

Gators open with Hawaii, Miami and Tennessee next season.

Ole Miss is fourth. That will totally be the suspension day.

Meanwhile, no one will write one word blasting Meyer for having 10 players arrested in one year.
 
Cunningham and former Florida linebacker Jon Demps were arrested at 2:49 a.m

The time explains it all.

Well, at least some of it.

Can you imagine if Ohio State or Miami had that many arrests in the same span?
 
Ohio University does not have to imagine:

And OSU kind of doesn't have to imagine:

Ohio State's been pretty good the last year and a half.
 
These incidents some of you are getting worked about include a kid getting arrested for putting a parking boot in the trunk of his car, a guy getting impatient getting a car out of a towing yard, and now the great cup fight. Oooooh, that's some scary stuff! Another guy even had weed!

And they never write one word about the one who does all the missionary work overseas!

Oh ... wait ... they have.
