“I live [in] Georgia and would be crucified if my name was released.”

There is something I do blame Todd Gurley for… thinking that a guy this stupid would be discreet.

        This guy was fucking stupid then. If I’m a dealer, unless I offer a ridiculous number of them, why does the player stop accepting offers to sign memorabilia? If I hit you with 10k for a football, sure, you’ll probably stick with me. But the report indicated he wanted something like $8-$25 per signature depending on the number done. For that money, I’d be signing shit for people every day, all day. Fuck you, random guy who gave me a couple hundred dollars.

    “Again, not offended at all if you have no interest. TMZ has seen the video but NP (no payment) offer has been made.

    Again, not trying to get rich. I spent a few grand on the signing and Gurley has since kind of screwed me by doing this with about 30 other guys. The stuff has lost a ton of its value. Just wanna recoup some of my money.”

Not UT or USC because we already have played them and the hammer would have been dropped before their game with Georgia. Not Tech–too soon. Tech would have waited to be closer to the COFH game for maximum effect. Not Mizzou because dropping that bomb 3 days before the Mizzou-UGA game would have been too obvious. Auburn was a possibility but Auburn is in the West and wouldn’t benefit as much as a division rival would. This screamed “FU.” A put up job done by a Gayturd moron.

    If Todd has smart advisors he has played his last free game of football. If the AD got him to confess then I have a degree from the dumbest university in the world. The old saying is that Good guys finish last and UGA is living proof of that.
    If I was Gurley I would issue a statement apologizing to the fans and my teammates but I would not mention the University or the NCAA, both of which can just screw themselves. I would explain that I knew what I was violating the NCAA rules but as a thoughtful black man I felt the rule was Un-American and immoral. That an Organization built for the sole purpose of exploiting for profit 18 to 22 year olds has outlived it’s evil life I will make it up to may fans and teammates by being the best NFL running back I can be.

    I’m numb. Maybe amatuer football and the pageantry and glory of cheering for your alma mater was always a myth. Maybe UGA’s historic role will not be the Gurley affair, but back to 1980 (again) as being the beginning of the end.

    Posting here at #130+ I almost have to wonder if the Senator is ready to quit too. Somehow I envision one day we will find that he’s just stopped posting. No farewell, no rant, just walking away. Look at the recent MNC participants and Heisman winners…is there really anything left to cheer for? Did we all buy in, just a little bit, that Gurley was going to resurrect 1980? Isn’t it clear that will NEVER happen again, not just for UGA, but anybody?
