Really hate it for this kid. Not making excuses for him – but a lot of these kids grow up in circumstances that they feel the rules only apply when they get caught. This kid, by all accounts is very likable, at times very quiet – but obviously needs constant oversight to get him on the correct path.

Football is the least of his issues at this point – I hope and pray he will find a better way and get back on the proper way to live a life …. then hipefully their is time for him to develop his talent if that what he wants to do.

There’s really only so much you can do to steer somebody in the right direction. During his commitment press conference, I couldn’t help thinking he sounded dumber than a bag of hammers.

The constitution gives Americans the right to travel freely. Random roadblocks that stop citizens without probable cause is the problem here. Did the officers have shiney boots? Did the occupants of the car have to show their papers? So he had guns? That is constitutional. It’s also legal to carry a gun in one’s car. With the recent history of black atheletes being shot …. carrying a gun seems prudent.

The smartest thing CMR can do is to cut this kid immediately, clearing the way for others to compete for the position. Otherwise, it seems pretty obviuos based on past behavior, that this will NOT be the last issue with this player. He repeated has shown a lack of maturity, and a lack of personal accountability. Both of those things apply to All college students, not just jocks. Maybe he will get things turned around for himself….I hope so, but think he has worn out his welcome as a Dawg.

Richt can’t be blamed for this either. He’s talked the kid, disciplined the kid, suspended the kid, and he still does this. Some people are just bad eggs. You also can’t fault Richt for recruiting him either.

This isn’t the first UGA football player to get into trouble. Either Richt is doing a poor job with discipline or he is continually recruiting guys who can’t be disciplined. How you guys can keep saying that it isn’t Richt’s fault at all is incredible. How many other programs have continual problems like this?

You want to play football for UGA? Better get your behind in bed by midnight and if I catch you out past that, have fun pumping gas for the rest of your life.

It all starts at the top with any organization or any football program. Your weakest link is a strength for your competition. At UGA it all starts at the top with McGarity and Richt. Both are weak and both have shown their weakness over and over again. These two are hurting the UGA football program, and they are becoming a strength to UGA’s rivals. McGarity should have never given Richt an extention after the pitiful performance last year against major competition. Even if it hurt recruiting so be it, rival coaches are using this type of embarrassment to the UGA program against Richt and UGA and it is working very well. The top 4 players in the state have committed to go to UGA’s rivals next year. So if it wasn’t to keep recruiting going well, why would McGarity give Richt an undeserving extention?? SImple answer, McGarity is a puppet, and he is a weak leader. He only has the balls to fire a coach of women’s programs, and he keeps the 3 stooges that are coaching the Men’s top 3 programs. Then you have Richt, who has proven time and time again that he is terrible at evaluating Coaches and high school talent. And not only is he terrible at evaluating Coaches, it’s this lack of ability that costs him when he hires these below average coaches, and thus they have no clue how to evaluate talent, or how to coach the talent up once they get to UGA. Richt is the weakest coach in the SEC east now other than Dooley, and his players don’t respect his authority or his coach’s authority. This happens every year at UGA,so to blame it on players and call them thugs, isn’t totally true.If the players respected their coaches, and if the coaches knew how to teach discipline this wouldn’t happen every single year at UGA. McGarity, and Richt should both be gone after this latest embarrassment to the university, but then again, UGA has no president either. So when you have total lack of leadership from your president, to your A.D. to your head coach, to the asst. coaches, this is what you get. The board of regents should step in and put an end to this embarrassment now, besides this season will be another disaster under Richt and his coaching staff. Want proof, this idiot head coach is so stubborn that he refuses to hire a special team’s coach, after he admitted the S.T. was quote “SCARY”. What is scary is to have a head coach admit this and do nothing about it. UGA=MEDIOCRITY!!

I kept hearing all this talk about our depth at tailback this year, but I never bought into it. We have 2 highly talented but completely unproven Freshman, we have a former walkon who is 5′ 6”, we have Samuel who has been a damn good dog, but doesn’t have top tier SEC RB ability and is unlikely to be available for 1/2 the games due to this history of injuries (though he has been a hard worker and great teamate), and we have another back who is a workhorse, but will also be lucky to play in half the games due to history of injuries. Now that Crowell seemingly ended his career at UGA with his stupidity, we have two guys that have never played at the college level and will likely have one other scholarship experienced back available for any particular game in Samuel or Boo

Richt and Bobo need to sit down with Marshall and Gurley and let them know that while this isn’t the way any of us wanted it to happen, neither is going to RS and they should prepare to play in the first game and every game this season. Gentlemen, here is your OPPORTUNITY.

It’s just a sad story to me Bill. Here’s a young man who just a few years ago was excited about coming to Georgia, maybe becoming a great player there and then moving on to the NFL. At this juncture, he’ll have to hope the felony charges get reduced, he can resume a football career elsewhere and then maybe get drafted.

It’s sad. I don’t really know what else can be done or said. You can only be told so many times what you have to lose, what to do and what not to do. It’s just amazingly disapointing when this happens. It has happened all too frequently at Georgia in the last 5 years.

Bill,

Mark Richt is a good man and he means well, but enough is enough. A felony of ANY kind should be immediate dismissal from the team, whether a weapon is involved or not. Misdemeanor of any kind…two strike rule. Once gets you a trip to the office…second sends you packing.

UGA hasn’t won a National Title in 30 years. The likes of Crowell, a bigger distraction than attraction, will not get UGA there either. He is not a good teammate.

Mark Richt better focus his attention on the other people that were in the car and drop the in-house discipline on them…HARD. Out at 3:45 am and you’re just looking for trouble. I know these other kids were not guilty of anything…except poor judgement. Cut this off at the pass and get rid of Crowell. Off the team and preferably out of Athens for good.

This kid has all the tools, all he needed was direction. I know the coaches can’t and won’t be parental, but this kid has had issues since coming to Athens.

Since my team is not the bull dogs, it doesn’t hurt me, but on a human level, someone needs to help this kid, or he will end up in the wrong place. I hope whereever he lands, he gets help.

Anyone ever consider Richt may take on the very talented trouble makers to try to give them a chance at life. Remember our coach is a missionary and likely does not hesitate to try to give certain kids a leg up in life. Can’t blame him for that, for every ten bad eggs (Ealey, Crowell) if there is one good one than it is worth it. Richt has said many times that he is not only there to be a football coach. Want him there or not, he is doing good things. I am glad he is at UGA.

Every time I tried to point out that this kid looked and acted like trouble, many on this blog accused me of all kind of things that were, of course, asinine. This just seemed so obvious. Good to get him out of Athens asap. Of course, it is not a positive that 4 other players were with the guy past 2AM. This does not bode well for these 4 for sure. We must also wonder how hard this would have been to predict before he was recruited.

Amazing how you grown up losers put this kid so far under the bus, I mean don’t we still live in America where innocent till proven guilty means something, or has social media taken your brains away as well? I’ll admit this doesn’t look good, but Casey Anthony didn’t either and she walked. He’s 19 and God only knows why this kid felt he needed to carry a weapon. Maybe it was because of the constant attention he gets(good or bad) and the fear of people trying to cause him harm. You can take a kid from rough times, but that doesn’t mean that they forget where and how they grew up. From a UGA perspective this is bad, but this kid is fighting for his freedom now, and that’s more important than any first down. UGA Fans shouting Derrick Henry has a clear path must’ve lost your minds! If I’m Henry and I see the way you sense of entitlement brats are hiding behind your overly opinionated, never played ball, or went through this kinda pressure selves. These are young men that you bring in to rake in millions for Universities, and promote them as nothing more than glorified slaves. Doubt that I;m telling the truth? Last year Crowell was your new golden slave, fast, thick, your ticket to national recognition again, now today he’s merely just another loser. Lets be honest, many of you wanna say another sorry Negro, Colored, or worse, but want for fear of being banned. Funny how Mettenberger was eased outta town and his name was not as destroyed. Even though it later came out that he was actually better than Murray, and Athlon has him as the tenth best QB in the country without taking a snap. Crowell what you did young man didn’t destroy Georgia, CMR, or Athens, but it has sadly like Maurice Clarett, LeGarrett Blount, Lawrence Phillips, Ryan Leaf, Stephen Garcia, and a select few more put you in a bad place. Young man get it together, if not in Athens then somewhere and learn the most valuable lesson life has to offer. WHEN GIVEN A STAR, MAINTAIN IT AND GROW WITH IT!

I can’t understand all the hoopla about Crowell! UGA is much much better without him. It’s ludicrous to say that USC will win the east. Crowell was only good for about 30 yards at most anyway. He probably would have taken himself out of the game with an alleged injury. UGA definitely does not need his lack of character on the team who would be an example for incoming freshmen. It’s probably good that he had a few in his car for them to experience first hand how these things can really mess you up!

The bloggers don’t have to throw Crowell under the bus, he already has and it appears the bus has backed up a few times and run over him again and again. Too bad!! Don’t worry about the facts any more than they are already. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, by damn, it must be a duck! The facts speak for themselves: He was driving the car with a gun under the seat of the car. Perhaps he can explain the marijuana smell in the car from eating brownies laced with same! Good luck, IC! It will indeed be interesting to see if he shows up on another SEC team! Bloggers, don’t be surprised if he does! I can think of several who will take him without flinching!!

SSigator, you remind me of somebody gloating and lecturing over the dead person at a funeral. Clueless, out of place, arrogant and kicking dirt in the face of people when they are down all come to mind. This happens all the time in colleges, unfortunately. Just read ESPN, or google it. We could mention Carlos Dunlap getting a DUI in the middle of the night just before the SEC CG you lost to Bama. Here is a quote from a recent ESPN story, “In January, Florida defensive tackle Leon Orr became the sixth Gators player arrested on marijuana charges since head coach Will Muschamp’s hiring after the 2010 season.” Janoris Jenkins, easily as talented at his position as Crowell was at his, was kicked off the Gators after getting busted three times for drugs. Star LB Brandon Spikes was suspended for trying to gouge an opposing player’s eye out! I could go on, but I won’t. Trust me, Einstein, the coaches in Gainesville, Athens, and everywhere else are doing everything they can to prevent these mistakes. Your self serving lectures over the horrible decison making of these kids just shows how little class *you* have.

This is unbelievible… Not shocked though. Heard it from a friend. I assumed it was grades or a drug test. Seems like kids out of Columbus are just trouble. What a waste of football talent.

OldGold1964 – This is not a matter of getting convicted of a crime. The issue here is whether the kid deserves to get kicked off a football team – not whether he is going to spend the rest of his life or a significant part of it in prison (although that may happen). He was stopped after 2 in the morning with a gun. He has been thrown off the team. Hard to argue with the decision, especially with his already having been in trouble before. BTW – Innocent until proven guilty is still the rule in CRIMINAL COURT PROCEEDINGS. It is not the rule in running a football program. Somebody from the 60’s should know better.

Police “smelled marijuana”, but there was none in the car. Hmmm… If the police asked to search the car, then Crowell could have said ‘NO’. Then, the police would have the option to bring in a K9 unit to ’sniff’ the car out. The dog may have found the gun, if trained to do so, but normally they are trained for only drugs. Now, it’s possible with a decent lawyer to beat this charge, because if the police search of the car was for drugs (and smelling pot was probably cause), but they found none, then there’s a chance the search was illegal. Just depends on the specifics. At any rate, it would only be possible for the charge to be dismissed by technicality, but his (short) career is over at UGA, and that’s a good thing in the long run (just my opinion).

He was out of school as soon as he was arrested with the gun on school property.

After a year, depending on how he did at GA Military and if his coach gave him a good recommendation, I would invite him in as a walk on and allow IC to work towards a new football scholarship. Who knows, he might even become a great football player and a model citizen and student.

innocent until proven guilty is true, but there are certain facts that crowell has admitted to already. First, he was in a club where people were smoking pot, he has already had one positive drug test, why put yourself in that situation. Not to mention being around people smoking pot can cause you to test positive. He had an unmarked gun concealed in his car. Even if the gun isn’t yours, why are you letting people borrow your car that would have unmarked guns? This is the guys third discipline problem in less then a year that we know about, there may have been more that we don’t know about.

“Tell me who your friends are, and I’ll tell you who you are.” Crowell is hanging around people that smoke pot and carry around unmarked guns, I have my doubts about the character of crowell.

Crowell was the driver of the car, a 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis registered to his mother, which had four other occupants, all Georgia players: Fellow sophomore and Columbus Carver High product Quintavius Harrow, and incoming freshmen Sheldon Dawson, Blake Tibbs and Josh Harvey-Clemons. All of the passengers were searched, nothing was found, and they were eventually let go.

As he came through, an officer smelled an odor of marijuana. Crowell said they had just come from a club and “that is probably where the smell was from,” according to the report. The police searched and no marijuana was found, but a handgun – a black Luger 9 mm – was found below the driver’s seat. It had an altered serial number, according to the report.

PHILLIP FULMER all over again

Richt is a good coach, but even more impressive, he is a fine man. However, he appears to be starting down the slippery slope of the same mistakes I watched Phillip Fulmer make at Tennessee. Not mistakes that involve not caring for or taking care of your duties to the program, but rather mistakes of caring too much.

Richt gets caught up too much in the struggles of kids he thinks he can help. Unfortunately, they let you down. And sometimes, the fall is not recoverable.

Why does this not surprise me? I’ve been waiting for something like this to happen. It was just a matter of time. Not “IF”, but “WHEN”. Better now than later in the season.

Just got to be out there playing the starring role of the fool. He deserves everything that this type of lifetyle has to offer, and I for one hope he reaps a bountiful harvest of pain and misery. No one deserves it more than he does with the attitude he currently has. The chances of him righting his ship are slim to none. I doubt he will ever be heard from again except for when he’s eventually arrested again (and I believe he will be). I have zero sympathy for individuals like this. Don’t tell me about his tough childhood or explain it away because of youth. When you’ve already been talked to by people who have pointed out what type of hazards await you when you live this type of lifestyle, once should be enough. People like this are a cancer in society. Go back to the “hood” in Columbus, father multiple children with multiple women (supporting none) and continue being a “playa”. That’s where he excels…..

I have a question about the Luger that was found in his car. No one, who knows anything about guns, would file the serial number off of a 9MM Luger (destroying the value of which today runs anywhere from $1500 to $30,000) unless it was stolen. I am sure that a decent police lab could reconstruct the original serial number and run it through the stolen weapons database. It it turns out to be stolen, Isaiah could be in much more trouble then just possession, which as I understand is not against the law if the car was his. Lawyers out there?

If that firearm’s altered serial number is restored using forensic techniques (filing or grinding does not change the structural metal defects caused by stamping), this could get worse. If the gun can be traced to another location out of the state of Georgia (such as Phenix City, adjacent to Columbus), a federal felony crime has been committed. Here are the statutes and penalty:

18 U.S.C 922(k)
Knowing possession, receipt, shipment, or transport of firearm with altered or obliterated serial number (cf. 26 U.S.C 5861(g), (h), (i)

Every comment misses a part of athletics that has totally been forgotten, DISCIPLINE. These young men have none and some will never have any. They will go through life with the idea they can do what they wish without any negative cosequences to themselves. They are pampered from grade school and trained to think the world revolves around them. They are not teamates,they are stars who use their so called teamates as stepping stones to the NFL Their teamates work hard, play through injuries, go to practice, go to class, stay out of trouble. But the star does none of this but beats on his chest like a moron when 10 teamatesw help him score a touchdown. Its not his fault in my opinion. Its his coaches fron grade school, hiigh school, college. They have allowed it. It is probably the greatest example of a complete failure of doing what is best for young people. Who gives a damn about his character when he sells tickets. Its big money driven and I see no end in sight. He see the pros act like idiots every Sunday so why not them?

One of the worst things to happen to college football was the elimination of the athletic dormitories. Great decision, NCAA! At least in an athletic dorm, players could help look after each other and minimize the opportunity for someone to do something stupid. The coaches can’t watch every player all the time. Winning teams need top talent, but they also need players with character. Otherwise, less grounded players will continue to do immature things.

Joe, most of the bashers aren’t UGA fans. The real fans usually hope the best for the players. There are so many weird units who pretend to be Dawg fans here, it would be impossible to draw conclusions from these blog comments. I think VA DAWG, who is obviously a real fan, sums up the Dawg Nation’s attitude well: IC is a great talent and we are all disappointed that his UGA career is over. We wish him the best in getting his life straightened out. It is time to move on, and I was just looking at Gurley and Marshall’s speed–10.7 and 10.44 in the 100M, respectively. Both have plenty of speed, and they both sound very mature. I suspect Malcome will either blossom or fade this year. If he blossoms, he could be gone, along with Richard Samuel. So, I think there are a lot of opportunities in the near future at UGA for both Marshall and Gurley, along with Henry if he decides to become a Dawg. This sure opens up the RB recruiting opportunities.

Good riddance. A rotten,selfish individual, not a team player. Good he is gone before the corrupts the whole team. Probably should have let everyone in the car with him go as well. Better to have average players who play as a team, that have prima donnas who just play for their future pro careers. Maybe the Dogs will be more that mediocre after all. Miracles do happen!

Georgia’s AD needs to call Nick for advice on recruiting top quality players with character. Nick doesn’t put up with all this criminal activity. Georgia recruits too many questions and hopes they turn out

Not so. we recruit themsamemkids as Georgia. We just DEMAND that they behave. Otherwise, they don’t play, and then they go away. That sends a clear message to the rest of the team, something that doesn’t seem to be happening in Athens.

I think it is time to look at the running backs coach. How many running backs have been major distractors on the team over the last few years, the apple does not fall far from the tree. Just saying, Mentorship starts at the immediate leadership level, obviously lacking in the running back department and in the DB department.
