Look, no one roots for this team more than me. But this streak is a smoke screen. We are *better* than last year, but we are not a great team. We certainly cannot afford these kind of distractions.

The issue isn’t who we are recruiting and who is on our team. There is no way Bama, LSU, Auburn and the like get higher character players than we do. We all get about the same type of character player when you blend it all together. Some really good, a few bad apples and lot in the middle.

To me, this is coaching and the tone that is set by the leaders of this program. Either this, or all of our rivals just sweep these instances under the carpet.

This team will not compete for anything worthwhile until there is some form of discipline within the ranks. There seems to be more than there was in the past, but we ain’t even close to where we need to be. Yeah, were winning. But peel back the layers…paper tiger.

Hope the guys shape up the GA Way, GO DAWGS!!!

There is no way to know what caused the suspensions due to the typical “violation of team rules” statement from the University, but the fact that Crowell is involved should be troubling to UGa fans and coaches – 2 suspensions in his first year is not a good sign. I always hope that Tech and UGa can recruit fine young men and great athletes, but being 18 yrs old and told you’re the best thing since sliced bread your entire life and being coddled to go along with it most of the time is very detrimental to developing good character. Hopefully, he will learn and turn things around off the field and have a good career at UGa, but I would not put my hard earned money down on it – probably 2 yrs at most and off to the NFL if he’s good enough.

How is this Richt’s fault? How can anyone expect a coaching staff to “control” 85 kids? Instead of raising questions about Richt, why not try to interview their parents? Richt has responded with discipline to every infraction that was made public. Far too much blame on him for these kids behavior and far too much credit to Saban for being tough on discipline. He players get in trouble too. Totally agree with recruiting several top running backs. If Crowell does not get kicked off the team before his junior year, he’ll probably leave for the draft anyway.

He needs a tough lesson in that this is the SEC, you’re going to get nailed on most plays, every athlete on the field is just as good if not better, and it’s not Team Me anymore like in Little League and through High School.

Again, blame the coaching staff for on field lack of discipline. Off the field lack of discipline is primarily on the kids. Richt’s primary job is to win games without violating NCAA rules. All of this “coach speak” about helping them be better men is highly over rated on every level of athletics. They can possibly help the kids who want to be helped but for those who don’t, there’s very little a coach can do. Again, sports journalists, why not attempt to interview a kids parents when he get’s into trouble?

The only thing that I have to say is who are all of you people to criticize and judge others? This kid is maybe 18 or 19 years old… Who can say that they made all the right decisions when they were that age? I know that I can’t. He committed the infraction, he is going to serve his suspension and then come back to the team. As far as him going missing and not having any work ethic. What is his average carries per game? He did not come to UGA till late spring if I remember if not summer (I may be wrong if I am I apologize). He does not have the conditioning yet, for all we know the coaches may be holding him back so he does not get injured…. Just let it be…Get over it and move on…

The one with the week suspension didn’t play that week ‘casue we had a bye week. He played the next week. The one I suspended for the season already had a broken leg and was out for the season anyhow.

Doing drugs or drinking in college is most definitely not “thuggish”. I have a hard time understanding how some of you dress yourselves in the morning.

Thug means a cutthroat or ruffian and derives from the name of an Indian band that committed human sacrifice. What they did was stupid, but calling them “thuggish” is just really, really stupid.

The problem with your logic is it is biased in favor of UGA. Any athlete who cares about his or her future realizes early on that doing any type of ILLEGAL drugs is acknowledging they are not focused on the job at hand and their immediate future. Once a player fails a drug test he or she must take random drug test for the remainder of their career or for a minimum of 2 years. Any athlete who decides to smoke dope( synthetic or real) after the LSU HEADLINES three weeks ago is dumber than a box of rocks.

Stop making excuses and admit on a dumb thug would put themselves over the team.

For those on this blog defending a “college kid” or “college athlete” for drinking, smoking dope or doing illegal things and breaking laws, rules or codes of conduct, please stop the defense. There is no defense for breaking any law or rule. You must be 21 to drink at a bar or be in possession of alcohol, do not smoke, inhale or consume illegal narcotics or be in possession of a firearm.

I guess those defending These three knuckleheads also want to blame Dr. Murray for supplying Michael Jackson with drugs while MJ was doctor shopping and chasing minor boys. The logic is unrealistic. Any serious athlete knows that any bad news will follow them til their playing days are over and a drug test will draw major scrutiny.

As expected, plenty of UGA fans just happy the kids didn’t miss the Florida game and will be back for the Auburn game. Funny thing, that’s exactly how the UGA coaching staff saw it as well. No one is stating that an 18 year old is a saint but what exactly do you teach the other young kids when they see stars get suspended for the New Mexico State game and get to play against Florida and Auburn. No consequences to the kids actions is exactly why UGA is where they are today with displine issues. Keep up the good work, UGA!

The Ghost of Wally and San Diego Dawg said it perfectly and diagnosed a huge part of the problem with our football program the last 4-5 years.

As much as I am NOT a Georgia fan (and I always find their annual suspensions amusing), I do believe in innocent until proven guilty. It’s not hard to believe that he failed the initial test that alerted there might be drugs in his system, but I would think that they would have had to do further testing to determine all of the details. Why put any punishment to the crime until the circumstances were confirmed? I’d like to believe the school acted immediately once they were sure. I guess CMR could have benched him if there was any doubt, but I don’t think he needed to at the time. Whatever. This whole story will be twisted and turned to favor and position.

How predictable was this? Those saying other teams have same character issues must not be paying attention. Those “other teams” play with discipline and always play hard. We play without discipline and loaf a lot. This is just the tip of the ice berg. The players we don’t suspend tweet opposing coaches! We have a bunch of immature prima donna idiots. Time to clean house. We have become the laughing stock of the SEC – rightly so.

Earlier this year when I commented that Crowell (and others) needed a haircut, I was accused of “not liking people who don’t look like me.” I replied this was about who was in charge and had nothing to do with liking or not liking someone. I submit this was so predictable as to be expected. Come on people! Our program is a mess. Wake up and smell the coffee.

None of his team mates said that. Everyone said that Isaiah was working very hard and had a great attitude and team spirit.

You idiots that have already decided that they were using drugs or committing some other crime need to kiss off. You have no evidence of this yet you offer these ridiculous speculative rumors.
