I’m heading up to the lake with a few old friends to prepare for tomorrow, so posting will be somewhere between light and non-existent for the rest of the day. (Besides, if things go according to plan, I won’t be sober enough to post anything you’d care to read anyway.)
I will have a game day post up early tomorrow, though. I hope you’ll take it as an invitation to comment on the day’s developments.
Those of you going to Athens, stay safe.

It’s time again for me to make another snarky comment about the criminal cesspool that is UGA football, then you can all jump on me, noting what a great guy Richt is, how he recently dumped a reserve QB for sexual assault (what a disciplinarian!), and Richt is better than most SEC coaches (in your opinions).
Having lived most of my life in Florida, I’ve had a front row seat for the theater of misbehavior staged by Richt’s tutor and mentor, Bobby Bowden. This is the same crapola Bowden pulled for decades. He charmed the media – what a great guy! what a fine Christian! – while he fielded a team of felons and dismissed all charges with “aw shucks” and “dadgummit”. That FINALLY changed with the Adrian McPherson scandal and it appears the media has similarly run out of patience for Richt’s nice guy image.

Shocked, simply shocked, that frolics, detours and misdemeanors occur at places like UGA and FSU. That would never happen at Irwin’s place in Hogtown.

I welcome snarky comments, as opposed to the usual incoherence.
But yes. I think you’re on to something. I think Richt should be disciplined. We should fine him for each arrest.
And we shouldn’t hold football players to higher standards either. If a non-athlete, UGA student is arrested for emerging from an alley, we should fine his English teacher. Underage possession of alcohol should get the math professor fined. I’ll leave it to Seriously to suss out a chart of the appropriate department/dollar amount for each violation.
But I think it’s safe to say that, if the police chief apologizes for his officer’s “zeal” and states that the arrest shouldn’t have been made and will be used as a teachable moment of when not to arrest someone in the future, it should obviously be a double fine.

“Those of you going to Athens, stay safe.”…and always remember that before entering Clarke County, which is proud to be designated as the first county in Georgia to be a martial law police state, keep your license in a place where you can find it when you get pulled over, make sure you have no outstanding bench warrants, stay out of alleys and if you do find yourself trapped in an alley, look both ways before you emerge and always borrow a helmet before you get on someone’s motor scooter.

CMR’s got bigger things on his mind now. First, Spurrier is strutting like a banty rooster again after his complete and total Brazilian wax of Larry The Hat Fedora last night,
“We had 41 points with 11 minutes left or something,” Spurrier said. “I was thinking for a while there that we might for the first time ever score 50 here, but we couldn’t do it. We need to score 50 some time.”

Next, there’s this helmet thing and all that.
Then, somebody told him that Al Davis had moved to North Korea.

I don’t think our team is a bunch of thugs or CMR isn’t sincer in his efforts. I do worry that our lack of respect for the law will translate to a lack of respect for the rules of the game. I.e., does anyone worry our penalty woes will continue?

So what exact amount should the law consider acceptable when it comes to stealing? Yeah, it’s a flippin’ bicycle helmet so it shouldn’t be hard to buy his own. So since theft is ok by you I guess I shouldn’t expect you to understand the spirit of my comment was related to all 9 arrests not just Ogletree.
But I did notice there were not any real drive-killing penalties other than the back to back offsides. We’ll so how it goes when the game gets more emotional.
