Quote Of The Day

“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

we all know what those team rules means. I say forget talent, forget who they are, pull scholarships and move on. Let a little weed cost a multi thousand dollar free ride, then ask hey was it worth it? Set the example, no one should be given special treatment.

Understand Marijuana is legal and not considered a drug in many places. Alcohol is much worse and there are no medicinal benefits.

if it is indeed academics, I stand corrected…however there is no excuse for failing a class with all the help available, and no i do not believe they should be dismissed or lose scholarship over grades, but limit social activity until the minimum is met…

Just ridiculous – athletes get every opportunity to get their academics in order with tutoring, preferential scheduling, an academic center only available to them, and academic counseling. They should be able to do the minimum to stay eligible.

Anyone notice that DB has turned into a consistent trouble spot? Suspensions, poor play, attrition. But no, its totally unrelated to the DB coach. It’s all just a coincidence. Ahem, the guy’s also a poor recruiter.

Do you not recall the first four games of 2012 when Mitchell was pressed into DB duty to help us get to mid-season? Not blaming the coach for the problems, these players are adults and totally responsible for their actions, but the past two seasons the defense has had more than their share of problems with availability and performance.
LikeLike
The overall defense, yes. DBs in particular, no. I recall a pass defense last year that was pretty dang solid once the players returned from suspension and started gelling.

I would think that the coach(es)receive academic updates from time to time on these kids. Yet King Richt stated in an interview that no one was in jeopardy of missing the bowl game. I know, finals are a huge part of the grade, but Richt intentionally skipped a few practices to allow these kids study time (sarcasm for those keeping score at home). What is a Dawg fan to do?

Do what they always do. Wait until next year. They should be used to that by now.

This may be slightly OT since this could be all about grades, but following up on gatri’s comment, it is time a move was made to level the rules for students who are not athletes when it comes to drugs and alcohol. I am proud of the stance UGA has taken about adherence to rules for players, and disgusted the NCAA and SEC haven’t standardized the rules for all member institutions. The stated ideal has always been not giving any special treatment for athletes but the truth is, “everyday” students are skating by to easily. Punishments, suspensions, monetary “fines”/costs, public admonishments, etc. should be equalized for Biffy and Buffy from Buckhead to match what athletes face.
Upfront disclaimer: I am strongly in favor of changes to the current alcohol laws in all states, and marijuana laws in the majority of states, so don’t think I am wanting more people punished for smoking marijuana or drinking above age 18. On the contrary, I feel enforcing the laws strictly will cause them to be modified to be more reasonable to reflect society’s view and allow law enforcement to focus on real crime. UGA should be forced to randomly test ALL students, or none at all. Have the ABH and other newspapers publish the names of all students who are caught violating the Puritanical rules,, or publish/report none at all. Standardize the university even if the NCAA cannot step up and standardize it’s member schools. Adams and the UGA administration have been hypocrites on the issue, not true believers of “cleaning up” campus behavior. Singling out a visible portion of the student population ignores the much bigger problem for the sake of self promoting themselves. Equal efforts should be put against all students/employees, particularly those who receive any sort of aid from public funds, or receive compensation from UGA….including professors.

Actually if its drug related wouldn’t JHC have to sit out a total o 5 games. Since it would be his second drug suspension.
