“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

It will be very interesting what will happen to him. If it were Foley it would be worse with the recent DUIs we’ve had.
FWIW, I think that’s at least double score, if not triple score, in the Fulmer Cup. Even if it’s not enough to put in the top, it should be at least an honorable mention.

LikeLike
There is no way the charges will be reduced no matter who his lawyer is. Too much light on this and too much heat would be put on any prosecutor and/or judge that did that. I have been critical of AD Damon Evans on this blog repeatedly because I felt he was too young for the job when hired and I felt he made some mistakes running the AD, particularly regarding football. That said, I think it would be wrong for the guy to get fired over this. DUI is a serious matter that is punishable by a fine, community service and sometimes jailtime. Nowhere in the GA Code does it say “the defendant shall be fired from his job.” Moreover, DUI is not murder, armed robbery or any other “crime of moral turpitude.” There is a serious danger here IMO. If every time somebody did something they shouldn’t do that person was fired from his job over it we would soon become the equivalent of a totalitarian society with the almighty press and employers serving in the role of dictator instead of the government. You may recall that I was one of the few who felt (and said publicly and on this blog) that Mett got a raw deal–he should have been given an opportunity to WORK his way back on the team. Same here. AD Evans should get reprimanded and be given a second chance. If this had not happened I would have been among the first to support his ouster or demotion to AAD because of job performance issues, but not for this and not this way.

LikeLike
He has to go.
He is a public figure, paid with taxpayer money.
Ironic that this comes on the day when we found out that UGA Athletics has hit its lowest point, performance-wise, since 1997. Therefore, it is apparent that Damon is not getting it done with victories.
Look at football revenues, specifically ticket sales. Down 80% from just two years ago. Guess what, that means the budget is about to shrink.
Damon was scheduled to get a $100,000 raise today. Guess what, we can find someone else to do just as well as he has, and now we can probably get someone cheaper as well.
Throw that in with this public embarrassment, on the heels of Gov. Sonny Perdue’s UGA Alum intern getting killed by a drunk driver, and Evans MUST BE REMOVED TODAY.
There are no if, ands or buts. There is no waiting on a public trial. If this guy is allowed to keep his job, I would hope that every UGA fan on earth with any character would immediately rescind all donations to the school .
This is pathetic, and there must be a message sent. In addition to Evans, I truly believe that Donald Leebern should be removed from the Board of Regents and that Michael Adams should be removed as president, but at least getting rid of Damon would begin cleansing what has become an endemic problem in Athens.
It is time to clean up the mess over there.
LikeLike
Point #1: He is not paid with taxpayer money. He is paid by the UGA Athletic Association which is funded by donations and ticket sales and is completely independent of the University.
Point #2: I know many people in my industry that were given a second chance and have done great things in their lives and careers after going through a similar situation. While a DUI is unforgiveable, it is a momentary lapse in judgment. One momentary lapse in judgment to me does not equate to a complete inability to perform one’s duties at his job. So please spare me the righteous indignation comparing this to the unfortunate situation that happened to the Governor’s intern a few weeks ago.
The man has done well at his position at the Athletic Association. UGA’s Athletic Association is one of the few AA’s in the NCAA that operates in the black.

That’s ridiculous. A DUI is, of course, a lapse in judgment. A deliberate decision would be to pick up a gun without checking to see if it’s loaded, pointing it at another person, and pulling the trigger. Most DUIs are about drinking a few beers, feeling fine, believing you’re not significantly impaired, and ending up slightly over the legal limit, which is much lower today than it was a few years ago.
If you’re really this outraged about driving impaired, I assume you’re in favor of rescinding the drivers licenses of everyone over the age of 65, right?

I would agree with you Charles D IF, and only if, there is truth to the “rumors” of ongoing misbehavior and he has been given a warning. I think a warning to an adult is sufficient to set a zero tolerance performance standard, and enforce it.

I disagree. Everything ebbs and flows from time to time. The greatest programs in all sports have taken a step back once in awhile. I don’t see the “clear downward trend”.
Additionally, it’s laughable to say that the department and UGA sports in general just “runs itself”.
A lot of factors go into that ticket revenue number you are all hung up on now. One of which are the ridiculous donations that went into a preseason #1 ranking back then – nowhere to go but down after that. The second of which is the little thing called a recession that hit every athletic department hard.
The football team is poised to bounce back and I expect the clear upward trend of the basketball program to continue. Our other sports should be competitive for the foreseeable future as well.
This incident is undoubtedly unfortunate. But outside of that, Damon Evans is at the very least a good athletic director (I actually think he’s a bit better than that [imho]).

I don’t want the man fired for this, but it’s humiliating for the University, and if they do end up canning him over it, I’ll be fine with it.

I laughed it off because it could have just as easily been me, but the fact that he got in a car and drove through Atlanta in that state gives me some serious concerns.
In any event, if he manages to keep his position with the University (which I think he will), it will be pretty fun the next time UGA has to suspend an athlete for an alcohol-related offense. The athletic administration has lost the moral high ground on that one.

Why exactly would you stick with the Dogs after the Jan Kemp scandal and the Jim Harrick and son scandal, but this is the last straw?

I don’t get it. Explain yourself. Frankly if Michael Adams got caught raping goats on acid and he wasn’t fired, its not even crossing my mind to not be a Dog fan. I don’t mean to say that there is nothing that could happen that would alienate me from the program, but it would have to be something more than the conduct of an administrator in conjunction with less than optimal consequences.

Is Michael Adams on acid or is the goat? That makes a difference for me. Personally, I found the continued use of directional kicking to be far more heinous than the items mentioned above.

Now you are making this complicated. Not sure that it much matters whether its the goats that are on acid unless of course it was ingested involutarily via some conduct of Mr. Adams which might be marginally worse than using the acid himself. Seems a dangerous proposition to have sex with a goat that is on acid though. You’d think there would be enough confusion in the goat as it was. Now if it were a date rape drug administered to the goat that might actually be seen as more humane in its own context, however, I think I’d still take the position that Adams should be replaced. Of course, I held that position before the goat, the acid or the date rape drug. So I guess, in the end, I disagree on the import of my lack of complete clarity on the issue of which party is on acid in the Adams Goat Sex and Acid Scandal.

Rep. I gotta disagree with your forgoing assessment. I favor not firing Damon Evans (see my post above). But no, he has not done so hot as AD. Good revenue stream from sale of seats at games (every year every game is a sellout), TV, etc. all of which was set up before he ever showed up. Not so hot profit on sales of UGA sanctioned merchandise, license fees, etc.This is masked by how incredibly profitable the other stuff is. UGA is actually middle of the SEC pack for all operations, near bottom for the license fees and merchandise. Also, I don’t want to beat it to death (I already did last September) but opening up in Stillwater as fodder for the grand opening of the new Okie State stadium funded by Boone Pickens was just asking for it–galactically stupid. It was the “coming out party” for the Cowboys with home-cookin’ referees serving Dawg as the hors’devours for the Pokes. Saw it coming a mile away and was saying so before the game to everybody. Howcome Damon did not see that too and avoid it? There are plenty of other examples. The job of the AD is to put his team in the best possible position to win. CMR tries to do that. AD Evans gets in the way, IMO. This crazy “branding” idea he has about flying to the other side of the country to play OOC games in midseason hurts, not helps, the program. The way to “brand” is to win games and championships like Bama and FLA. You do not see those teams making the same kind of scheduling errors because they have smart ADs. I could go on but I won’t.

That this is where we are, that our Athletics Director who refuses to build us an Indoor Practice Facility and who refuses to build us a gym with more than 10,000 seats unless he can come up with the cash up-front when the whole world buys real estate on 30-year mortgages, teaches us that he thinks we should refuse a breathalyzer, is a sad state of affairs for a team who has faced more of these charges than every other school.
We had our Offensive Coordinator convicted of DUI just 4 years ago, Neil Callaway.
Great example for the kids.
Fire Damon Evans.
Michael F. Adam$ hired Damon Evans before he was ready for this job. Adam$ did this to personally challenge Vincent J. Dooley for supremacy at UGA.
Rampant arrests and suspensions for 10 years of the Coach Richt Era and for 7 of these years, Damon Evans has turned a deaf ear, allowing it to reach this crescendo of 40 arrests / suspensions of football players and athletic directors at The University of Georgia since February 2007, three years.
$2,750,000
I VOID that CONTRACT herewith.
Pay Damon Evans starting Thursday two million seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars over 5 years with $20,000 raises after each year of the contract.
Not counting all the spiffs.
Like being out at Midnight just before the 4th of July weekend with a younger gal over a dozen years younger than he a pretty girl also DRUNK AS A SKUNK and unable to even listen to the Trooper tell her repeatedly to stay in the BMW, Damon Evan with a wife at home and family.
THIS IS THE REAL ISSUE.
For this.
I think not.
Resign.
As a matter of fact, you can directly correlate the decisions of Damon Evans as AD with the results on the field for a football program which has historically been the # 11 best in the nation in Wins All-Time in 1-A Football, yet over the last 4 years has been instead 38-14 good for # 19 in the nation in won / lost record over the last 4 years with a 10-10 SEC East record over the last 4 years good for # 3 in The SEC East, and a 20-12 record over the last 4 years good for a # 4 in The SEC position for this once Proud University of Georgia.
Director of Athletics hand-picked by Michael F. Adams when he was NOT READY.
Neil Callaway was NOT fired by Damon Evans.
He should have been and was totally ineffective and doomed to failure since his DUI.
I can just see it now. Pictures of The University of Georgia with our DRUNK AS A SKUNK shamed Director of Athletics humiliating UGA telling EVERYONE ELSE to not drive when they drink. 2-faced smashed AD.
No wonder we have all these arrest issues and no wonder our football program and all the other programs have fallen off the face of the earth as his tenure endures. Perhaps now Michael F. Adam$ will hire as Our Athletics Director in charge of all our Coaches and all our Student-Athletes, someone who has
ACTUALLY COACHED BEFORE.
You cannot suspend the person who is in CHARGE.
Tailgaters cannot any longer enjoy their time on Game Days, Players are KICKED off the football team recently, but Damon Evans married can go get DRUNK AS A SKUNK with a young gal at Midnight and keep his job he was NEVER READY FOR in the first place.
Michael F. Adam$’ hands are tied on this one.
