I suspect you’ll need another bottle for every time this one gets repeated:
… Garcia acknowledged he strongly considered a transfer, coach Steve Spurrier even agreeing to sign the papers if the quarterback wanted. Garcia graduated with a sociology degree last May and could play somewhere that offered a post-graduate program South Carolina did not.
But Garcia was swayed by tailback Marcus Lattimore and receiver Alshon Jeffery, who encouraged him to withstand the comments and criticism from those outside the team.
“It meant a lot to me,” the quarterback said.
Oy. By the time this is all over, we may be reminiscing fondly about Verne crushes for the GPOOE™ and the two Davids.
Oh baloney. It just happened to be the two biggest stars on the team who inspired Garcia? And like Garcia is going to listen to a rising sophomore?

Wow, a sociology degree. He does have a bright future pumping gas.

Of the five Garcia offenses I think four included alcohol. Given Georgia’s mandatory suspension of 10% of the season for alcohol related suspensions he would have missed at a minimum four games over his four years. Since 10% is actually 1.2 games and Richt has usually given two games for violating the rule it would be closer to eight games. So Garcia would have probably missed anywhere from 4-8 games over his tenure at Georgia if he was not booted out all together and at USC he gets zero games missed with 5 suspensions that obivously he did not learn from. That is a huge difference in how our Instituation and AD handles things versus the Cock way.

You have 3 alcohol related offenses at UGA and you are out of school period. It’s a university rule and the AA has no input.

I heard that Tebow has masturbated with his left hand so much that he can’t even throw the football. Just sayin’.

That is how you get to the top in the SEC and why Richt is palying with one hand tied behind his back. Go to Floridah and smoke all you want. Go to SC, drink all you want. Go to Alab and get paid by clothiers/boosters. Go to Auburn and get paid by the school.

Garcia is probably telling the truth. He probably did strongly consider transferring and SOS knew it. That is the real reason SOS has gotten off Garcia’s ass–not a “complete change in lifestyle” by Garcia, which is nothing but a bunch of BS the USCe athletic department is feeding the media to justify the about face on Garcia by SOS..

Here is a way to punish a guy who doesn’t respect practice and working hard. Suspend him from practice and off season work outs. Makes perfect sense to me.
