Nothing public on what the 2nd offense was. From what I have gathered, it’s not bad enough for the school to dismiss him, just can’t play. I’m hoping he can get his legal affairs in order, keep enough school credits, and go transfer and play elsewhere. He’s got a young baby mama and the situation with his younger brother. Heaven knows this kid needs to get on the right path quickly.
With the relationship (or lack thereof) between the AJC/Athens PD/UGA, I would say not much is swept away. When CMR left and Smart took over, he really ended reporter access and that’s when the AJC turned on UGA. You can definitely see that some reporters hold a grudge.
Yes, seriously. Dabo has won 2 national titles and gets relentless chirping over 9 and 10-win seasons now. The perception of a coach changes almost overnight once they stop winning at a level people expect.
Just curious, do you actually believe this? I’m assuming that this is just you throwing shade at Kirby and UGA, which is perfectly acceptable and even expected.
Man I’m so glad Kirby didn’t go to TN! If he had it would likely be like experiencing CFB in the 90’s all over again for me. I’m pretty sure we went the entire decade without beating you guys. I was just a kid then, but it’s something I’ll never forget! I was so tired of us getting our butts kicked by TN.
I do honestly think there is a good chance in the near future where GA and TN are both very good at the same time. Could be some very exciting football right around the corner!Your take on this very much makes sense to me. Fair or not, the spotlight about these off-field issues is going to be directly on GA so long as we keep having these troubles. It’s one of the prices you pay for success.
Stupid take that a coach’s priority is to win games and basically ignore everything else.
Dude, as a son to a fire chief and best friends with a dude that works as a detective in Knoxville along with countless other connections to law enforcement in both KC and here in Knoxville…. (Just saying my opinion is educated)
I’ve never understood the “cops are out to get the team” mentality. In my experience most of the local PD are fans of the team and want them to win just like any other fan. They don’t want to players to be trouble makers, unfortunately with the game and money of the sport also comes trouble. Cops are just doing their jobs, there are good ones and bad ones just like any other career.
Hmm
did I ever say that the cops were out to get them? No. Some dingleberry said that the APD and AJC were sweeping stuff away and I denied that was happening due to the soured relationship that happened when Kirby started limiting reporter access. I said reporters held a grudge because of that. Said nothing about the Athens police being “after Kirby”
We were also quick to refute everything involving Bru at USC. Medical professionals alerted police about domestic violence after examing his ex-girlfriend, the school called him a threat to campus, and he had a restraining order against him and the court ordered him to pay $70,000 to the victim (with $30,000 of that covering her legal fees). After all that, we brought him to campus and generally say the doctors, school, and courts were all wrong, but our coaching staff knew better. Now, good for Bru that we haven't heard about any of that happening here, but I still wouldn't want my daughter anywhere near him.
Good point. We mostly only care what these guys do on the football field. If it helps the Vols, we love them and defend any off the field troubles. If they aren’t as great at football as we expect them to be, we throw them out. I’m guilty of this. I was happy we got Bru, but beating up women under any circumstance is wrong. I hope he has learned and changed from his past, and I wish him well, but I’m gonna feel a little torn on Saturdays about how excited I will be when he makes big plays. (I might look past it all when he catches the game winner and silences the Sanford and Son crowd in Athens. I said I was torn.)
