UGA’s Adams on (1) A.J. Green case and (2) football arrests
ATHENS – University of Georgia president Michael Adams said the school did everything it could to get star wide receiver A.J. Green’s suspension reduced, but he did not quarrel with the NCAA’s rejection of the appeal.
“It’s certainly not too light,” Adams said of Green’s four-game suspension,”and yet I’m not in a position to criticize the NCAA. They are trying to send a message about contact with agents and agent runners and representatives.”
Green was suspended for selling his Independence Bowl jersey to a person the NCAA considers an agent, former North Carolina football player Chris Hawkins. An NCAA committee late Friday rejected Georgia’s attempt to get the suspension shortened.
“I don’t think A.J. knew what he was dealing with,” Adams said, meaning an agent. But the fact Hawkins met the NCAA definition of an agent is “part of why I believe they stuck with four games instead of less,” Adams said.
Adams, in an interview before Saturday’s game against Arkansas, said the university got “the best counsel and advice you can get to make an appeal. . . . I think the university did everything to help [Green] that the university could have done.”
Adams acknowledged it “clearly” would be against the rules for a player to sell a jersey to a non-agent as well.
“It was a mistake, and frankly I think it’s time to move on,” Adams said. “He’s a star player and an important player, I understand all of that. . . . But you don’t build a whole season around one player.
“At the end of the year, maybe he’s fresher than some of the defensive backs that are covering him. I’ll try to look on the bright side.”
++++++++++++++
On another topic, Adams said he spoke to “every employee” of the Athletic Association in a recent staff meeting, delivering the message that he wants a stop put to the off-field problems on the football team. Nine players have been arrested this year.
“They don’t like it any better than I do, and I think they’ll deal with it,” Adams said of the athletics staff. “You’re dealing with 19-year-olds, and we have more [arrests] in the general student body than I would like. But we have had too much in the football team. And so we expect the coaches and the AD’s to provide role models and leadership for their players, and I told the whole Athletic Association staff that.”
He reiterated what he calls the “three Adams rules”:
“You follow NCAA and SEC guidelines. You go to class. And you stay out of trouble.
“You don’t have to be Phi Beta Kappa, but you have to do those three things to play here,” Adams said. “It’s an honor to put on the jersey that says Georgia. And so we expect people to represent us in a positive fashion, on and off the field. That is not an unrealistic expectation.”
Adams wasn’t specific on how the coaches and athletics staff should address the problem. “I don’t tell them how to do their jobs, and they don’t tell me how to do mine,” he said. “But the message there is pretty clear, and I think everybody is in sync now.”
Adams said new athletic director Greg McGarity “feels as strongly or more strongly about [the issue] than I do, and I’m going to depend on him and the coaches to manage it.”

This whole drama continues to plague the DAWGS. I thought Da Drama went to Tennessee with his boy hood idle Nance but AJ’s huge mistake has distracted this team to a horrible year it looks like.

As I sit here we are down 17-7 at the half. Would AJ help in this game?
Yes and no. Yes- he would be a much needed shot in the arm to a struggling offense, but then again he still does not play defense and without pressure on Mallett this will go into the L column.

These guys need to step up and call this what it is – CRAP!!!! There is no way that Dareus gets 2 games and Green gets 4! If there is a reason why there is a difference in punishment then the NCAA should have to come out and say it! I bet you that Dareus started naming names and that is why he got 2 instead of 4!!!!

I think that this has been a major team distraction. I would either kick Green off the team or suspend him for season. The fact that he is not a decoy on every play is a death to this offense. Just incredibly stupid move.

First of all I didn’t realize our university president was on a first name basis with our players. Probably not the norm across the country. The guy Green was dealing with appears to be a bad guy and the president is dismissing the whole relationship as innocent? The “agent” currently faces felony drug trafficking charges. Come on. Let’s be honest with ourselves and get rid of the bad apples. About one out of every ten of our FB players have been arrested this year- hopefully not indicative of the entire student body as the president insinuates. It is time to get an administration that will quit covering up and start cleaning up!

Green got four games because he did not come clean with the investigators and because UGA is a rogue program. Adams, the guy who gave us Jim Harrick and Tony Cole, wants arrests to stop. We’ll see if anyone pays attention.

At this point, it’s clear to everyone that the whole program at UGA is sleazo crap. You have a $4 million coach who can’t win, 9 arrests this year, and a coach who has no concept of what discipline is.
It won’t make much difference now, but yes, just dismiss Green. He looks like a retarded neanderthal pacing the sidelines.
It’s time to clean house in Athens and start over.

A.J. Green and Herschel Walker; two players who forever trarnished themselves because of agents and ignorance. Green have probably cost the DAWGS a fine season and a first team All American award.
Walker probably cost himself the chance to be a 4 time All American, a back-too-back Heisman trophy, and a chance at a medal in the 1984 summer Olympics in either the sprints or the Decathlon (remember he was a great shot put man in h.s.) all for a few bucks in a league and team that are virtually forgotten.
I hope both you guys regret your stupid and egotistical decisions for the rest of your lives!

This was defeat those of Bulldog Nation should not accept with nod and shrug. Period! Time to clear the rathole out. Completely! New defensive fraud too. No excuses! Forget AJ Green. Forget freshman QB. Excuses are for perennial losers! Oh. I see. Fire up those excuses Wretch! Will become expert at them before end of season. Totally gutless and heartless.

AJ should be gone and never associated with UGA football again. Seeing his selfish face in the sidelines and reading about his Tweeting about his plight makes me sick.

If selling a jersey is against the rules, it’s against the rules. I don’t have a problem with that. Any time any player gets caught selling football memorabilia the punishment should be the same. If that’s four games, it’s four games. I don’t have a problem with that, either.
Claiming that some common street thug drug dealer is an “agent” just because he is a football player groupie, then implying that selling the jersey to him, instead of to any other random fan, is going too far. Unless the NCAA sends each player a list of every person they consider an agent, it’s impossible for a player to distinguish an agent from anyone else in the world. The fact that selling a jersey to anyone should be all that matters. Whether the NCAA considers that person an agent, a fan, or a circus clown should have nothing to do with it.
All that aside, if UGA can’t win without one particular player, they have much deeper problems than AJ Green. After today’s game, that looks to be the case.

I cannot for the life of me understand how these HUGE major college football schools, especially in the SEC, continue to allow the NCAA to dictate such ludicrous, unfair, and program damaging rulings against them. Also the players are pampered too much. I played college football as quarterback, offensive captain, and team captain during the period 1962-1966. In order to earn my “full football scholarship”, I had to maintain at least a B [3.0] average, borrow money from the National Defense Student Loan Program at the insistance of the school, AND work as a janitor at night after the season at a local junior high school cleaning 19 classrooms, 4 bathrooms, and 2 hallways each and EVERY night from November until the summer break. Myself and two other civilians cleaned the entire school during the summers. All of that money went to the school and my training table meal ticket was automatically cut off each year immediately after the last game of the football season. It was root little pig or die. I have no regrets and went on to a successful military career. Players during these times have it too easy. I realize with such emphasis on materialism nowadays within our society in general along with the fact that today’s student-athletes [and their families] are basically broke and often financially destitute — this makes makes them easy targets for unscrupulous characters of ALL types such as agents, win-at-all-costs coaches, overly enthusiastic alumni, and spurious interlopers. But, I say remove this guy A.J. Green from the team and when any other players are arrested, tried, and convicted of crimes, they too should be sent packing. That will clean up the program — trust me. Sometimes you must win off the field before you can win on the field and once again there will be a place for student-athletes who possess character, morals, a penchant for hard work, and strong values.

Shoot at least we won the 1980 National Championship! Who cares if we only beat three teams with winning records that year? (Forida 8-4; South Carolina 7-5; and Notre Dame 9-2-1 but tied winless GT). I know many media outlets like ESPN called us the weakest National Championship team ever….but hey…We still won it! With our CURRENT COACH we had better enjoy that 1980 title because we likely will never see another!

Don’t think AJ would have made a difference, looks like a bad year for the dawgs. 0-2, how many of you were not worried about SC or Ark? Looks like they took you to the woodshed and beat your so called 4 and 5 star recruits pretty bad. Too bad Bama does a better job of evaluating talent and then actually doing something with it.
Why would Crowell want to go to UGA when, he could actually have a good chance at the Heisman at Bama?

Georgia looks terrible in every facet of the game. They were completely out-coached. Mike Bobo has got to be the worst play caller that I have seen. I mean it is 3rd and 5 and he calls a play that has all the receivers running routs 20 yards down the field and all we needed is 5 yards to keep the possible game winning drive alive. He plays not to lose, when he should be calling plays to win the game. Bobo is about as sorry as it gets when it comes to play calling.

Change the Attitude

I have to believe that we need to get back to basics and start with greatly enhancing the players’ attitudes and try to present a more professional look among the team. When they have made a good play, get up, congratulate one another and get back to the huddle. ACT LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN THERE BEFORE. Surely it’s not the first time you’ve made a stop, gained 3 yards, caught a pass, made a touchdown or grabbed an interception.The jumping up and down, beating your chest, shaking your hand in front of your face (what is up with that anyway?), running toward the crowd, all the thug-like hand motions…knock it off. Act a little more professional. Respect yourselves, the coaches, the fans and your opponents. All that jumping around and acting like nuts does nothing but reflect badly on you and the program. Besides, YOU would not have made that play without your teammates doing their job. Why can’t the coaches get that through to them? I am an alumni and been watching the Dawgs for over 50 years and I cannot remember when I have been more embarrassed by their actions on and off the field. I, for one, am sick of it. …by the wayand starting off 0-2 in the SEC, you have to realize that none of you are “all that”. Get back to basics, act like professionals, play like we know you can and make the Dawg Nation proud.

Write instead about the kid who is and deserves to be our #1 WR. Kris Durham. That’s who you should be writing about.
Write instead about WHY the kids don’t know the rules. Isn’t there some class that the athletic dept teaches these kids the rules? Find out why that isn’t happening. I would think the coaches and AD would make sure that the kids are aware of the basic rules.

Adams is working for Green? I would think he would be working for the University and thinking of kicking Green off the campus, not representing him. What do these fraternity houses do that is so wrong that the need to kick them off campus is the only alternative, when you have a key player associating with a gangster, maybe effecting the outcome of Georgia games. This certainly would explain the under productivity of this team. They are on the take.

Hey Awful – NCAA reported that Dareus was most forthcoming and honest of any player that they ever interviewed. Exactly the opposite of Dez Bryant who got the entire 2009 season off for lying
(well he did play against UGA early in the season). I have to believe that AJ Green was not totally forthcoming……he may have been honest about not travelling to Miami but I suspect he was less than totally honest about the jersey. So he got 2 games for the misconduct and 2 more for lying to the judge.
Why does it require the President of the university to hold a meeting and tell the Athletic Dept that everyone will follow the rules, students will attend class, and everyone will stay out of trouble??. The fact that Adams felt such was necessary is a biting commentary on where the Athletic Program at UGA has gone………

ZM was on moron and he is gone. The other UGA moron trouble makers, all except D. Jackson and M. Robinson, are still on campus. If any team leader stands up and says ENOUGH ……….then it just might divide this team. I say that is what has happened and THAT IS WHY UGA is not playing decent ball. We are a divided ……….selfish squad right now.
If the voters do not like the POTUS is it “becaus of R—-m” and that is the UGA affliction. The main man is AJ Green and his single, selfish action has destoyed UGA ball for this year.
With that in mind, I as Coach would let the under class men play now and let AJ and two or three others walk. Set the tone now.

UGA won vs Arkansas their first SEC title in nearly 20+ years under Richt. Then, UGA was a well coached, oiled football team with heads up players like R Brown, and D Greene and Pollack and Thomas Davis and Sean Jones and Musa Smith,etc.
In that SEC title game in the Dome, UGA blocked a punt from Arkasas that was a bad, low snap and it may have even bounced and UGA picked it up and scored. TD !! Heads up ball, baby.
Last Saturday the same thing happened to Arkansas and in about the same spot around the Ark 45 and the snap was low, bouncing and UGA TURNED THEIR BACK on an opportunity to score or at LEAST PUT UGA in a spot for a nice FG. The punter, after he quit guffawing, RAN for a 16 yd first down. See? A tale of two teams this is.
UGA under this same man is only NOW going through the motions. We are lifeless and flat just like Mark Richt. He has family health issues, he wants to be a missionary and all are wonderful but resign please.
This comment proves all of the nay sayers right. 2010 will be one ugly year. Sad, it should not be happening and it will adversely impact our 2011 recruiting too. Too much un certainty going forward at UGA.

Can’t gripe about AJ Green getting suspended.
But it does seem strange that Dareus accepts an outright $1700 gift just free and clear and only gets a two game suspension, while Green sells a jersey for $1000 and gets suspended twice as long. If there are any “extra” factors there that influence the decisions, then release all the info. If Green was not as forthcoming as he should have been, then tell us. If this is going to be a “teaching moment”, then let everyone know what the lesson should be…and maybe it’ll keep another player from a similar action in the future.

Adams is playing light on this issue. It is obvious how ignorant he is on the importance of A J Green to this football team. Every team has one player, that if they lose that one player, the objectivity of the team is totally effected. A J Green was and is that player for this year, for this team.
Two weeks in a row. Two games in a row, that we have lost by a small enough amount, that if A J Green was active, there is the likelyhood that he would have made the difference. I presented this very example several weeks ago. I said then, maybe in slightly different wording, “If we miss winning a game that he is out, by one touchdown, or each game by one touchdown, would A J Green not be worth at least the average of one touchdown per game?”
We lost by that margin, and yes, he would have mede the difference, numerous times over, on numerous plays. My point is this. The punishment does not meet the offense. Too long of a punishment, for this low level amount of a rule break, when others committed worse offenses, with people who are agents. The idiot that caused the problem does not even claim to be an agent, he claims to be a collector, and he supposedly still has the jersey.
The NCAA may think they are helping, but, what good does this do in the long run, to the quality of one team to be put in question, because of as minor of an offense as this one? What if UGA wins out, all of the games, once A J Green returns? What does that say about the quality of our team, in comparison to the last two games? Especially if there is not way otherwise to win the east and to play the west winner, which probably will be Alabama.

You Dawg fans who keep repeating “30-24″ like a mantra enjoy yourselves all you want. The thing is… Tech alumni and fans have lives that don’t depend entirely on what a bunch of kids does on Saturday afternoons. College sports are fun to follow, but the biggest reason for going to college is to get an education.
UGA fans don’t seem to care about anything but football, and they don’t care if their players are enrolled in silly majors that no parents who are paying the bills would send their kids to UGA for. The very few football and basketball players who graduate have no job opportunities and end up unemployed or working in menial jobs that hardly require a college degree.
Georgia Tech is a real school with serious academic standards, and that includes scholarshipped athletes. UGA has a long history of being a party school, where parents send their kids for an easy degree, even if the degree itself is practically worthless.
Jan Kemp exposed the crap going on at UGA with athletes being enrolled in courses a ten-year-old kid could pass. That was almost three decades ago, and nothing has changed. If anything, the abuses are more blatant today. Way too many illiterate morons are being recruited, and the very high arrest rate shows clearly that Richt does not care if his players have any morals or self-discipline.
The bottom line is that most Tech fans have very good jobs and productive lives that don’t depend on Tech’s football record for their happiness in life. It would be great to beat UGA more often, but when you put scholar-athletes up against thug-athletes, it’s usually no contest.
It’s pretty pathetic to see UGA fans who typically have never been within miles of a college classroom and who live or die with UGA’s weekly results on the football field.
So keep on posting your “30-24″ all you want, especially since you’re home with plenty of time on your hands. I wish you well, maybe you’ll get lucky and get your old job back at the Waffle House before your unemployment checks stop coming.

Geez…A.J. Green is the most over-hyped WR in college football history. Kris Durham is just as productive and maybe better than Green. The team and fans need to move on from this clown Green who cost UGA the LSU game last year with his selfish actions.

Like most UGA fans, I have seen a lot more downs than ups lately. Players getting arrested really peeves me and any self-respecting UGA alum. There is a wide communications gap between how the players think they can do what they danm please, and what UGA alums think is acceptable. Will SOMEBODY stand up and tell the players to behave or get the helle out of UGA, and pay back every danm cent they have ever taken from the athletic scholarship program. I get razzed nearly every day about the gangbangers at UGA.

Richt sucks and has no control over his OC. Our DC sucks too. Where did this overrated clown come from. Our QB is a midget that doesn’t know when to get rid of the ball and our D just got lit up by Arkansas. Arkansas???? We suck!!

A walk across campus now before a home game seems like just a normal walk anywhere because of Adams.
He shouldn’t even be allowed in the stadium to give an interview.

Alabama Player: 1) gets on a plane to attend a party hosted by an agent 2) the agent paid for everything ($1,700) 3) 2 game suspension
Georgia Player: 1) is contacted by an individual about purchasing his jersey 2) the individual buys a jersey given to green for $1,000 3) the “individual” happens to meet the definition of an agent by the NCAA 4) 4 game suspension
Which is worse and who should recieve the harsher punishment? Take this example and flip the teams. Would you get a different result? Hell yes you would. Green would still get 4 and BAMA’s DL would get 2 games. you know why?? Michael Adams doesn’t give a flip about the football team! We need to stop talking about firing CMR and make sure we get Adams out of Athens!!!! And Quick!!!

I am trying to understand how Caleb King misses a block against Florida in 2008 and rides the pine for two games because of it but Washaun Ealey misses THREE blocks against Arkansas and is named starter for the next week. What the heck is going on???? Start Carlton Thomas if you have to, send a freaking message about what Ealey did in that game!!!

Message business…If the NCAA is sending a message by giving A.J. a 4 game suspension for dealing with a drug dealer/NFL agent, why can’t UGA use A.J. to send a message too and kick him off the team for being selfish and stupid.

Let me start by saying I hope we run the table the rest of the season. Back to earth tells me we have some issues. Issues usually breed more issues. We appear to have a talent problem and a coaching problem. I give Grantham and co. a pass. He’s working with what we have, and did hold Carolina to 3 second half points. I knew Saturday was going to be not good for two reasons. I knew Arkansas could score. I knew we couldn’t. RF QB aside, with 10 returning starters, this should not be happening. How hot does it get in Athens? Does Mark have this year and next to work things out ? Will he be TOLD to can Bobo? This year is going to hurt. We have always looked at our schedule and asked who we’ll beat. The question now turns to who can we beat. Go Dawgs !

Am I disappointed that UGA is 1-2 with 2 losses in the SEC? Of couse I am. Despite the fact the Dawgs have a redshirt freshman at QB as well as a brand new defensive scheme installed that is making use of players that were not recruited for this new defense I like many fans ignored logic that said we should expect a learning curve and set my hopes high. Unfortunately logic won out over the words of the sports pundits, but I think the Dawgs will turn this season around.
What never ceases to amaze and sadden me are the haters who get so much joy out of UGA’s football team suffering from a down period. I can sort of understand how a fan of a rival program would smirk or laugh with friends when their opponents lose etc… but I have never been to a rival teams message board or posted about a story concerning a rival team that didn’t mention UGA.
No matter how bummed out the Bulldog’s losses make me, it must be nothing compared to the misery these haters live with every day. How pathetic and miserable does a person have to be to haunt websites every day so he can gloat not about his teams fortune but about another teams misfortune? Maybe these sad pitiful haters have been crapped on so often every day these anonymous diatribes are an attempt to get even with what they see as an unjust world.
I’ll leave the armchair psychiatry for someone else for now as I await the response from some of the sad truly pitiable haters that so love the AJC sports pages. I am sure they will insist they are oh so successful and really quite happy and popular. Sadly that will make them not only haters but liars as well.

Please fellow Dawg fans lets stop beating our chests about owning the state of Georgia and bad-mouthing Tech. That has been obvious since the sixties. We need to concentrate on winning SEC games and getting our arrests and losses down. CMR looks totally stressed out and overwhelmed on the sideline shots of him during games and I’m sure the players must see that also. Our offensive line looks average and Ealey looks average. Murray will eventually be a good qb but it will take time. I feel Grantham will be a fine DC in time also. The bottom line is that UGA athletes are just not as talented as some of the other SEC schools so we need to be very resourceful and strategic in our play. This is definitely a rebuilding season but let’s just focus on trying to improve from game to game. We were better against Arkansas than we were against SC.

To deal with the football players troubles and arrests, the coaches….COACHES need to recruit better people and not just thugs that want to play ball. Definetely there has to be some sort of psychological analysis, background check, teacher/admisnistration (at the HS level) recommendation aboiut that student’s behaviour, accountability, honesty, moral, attendance, study skills, commitment, norm follower, etc., etc, etc……………..
If a student athlete shows borderline grade on these and other objectives, then………………..I don’t give a rats ass about having a so, so student at my university, period. I don’t care if he is Clark Kent in disguise.

If the Dawgs had played with intensity we would be 3-0 right now even without AJ and that’s a fact.

Uiniversities get the by product of the GREAT public education we have. When the HSs start kicking ass and players out of teams for not going to school, missbehaving in class, giving the grade so they can be elegible, stping the balloney the parents (rich) throw at the schools and padd the pockets of cxoaches to MAKE their “children” startno matter if they deserve it or not, the….., only then, colleges and universities will get a quality HS by product. And as such, colleges and universities won’t have to worry about the students stupidity they get into. There are honorable academic schools in ythe country. But they work hard at it and make no appologies for being tough on academics and student’s responsibility a primary taget. But….the leftovers are not QUALITY and so….the colleges and universities must make the best of that thin line that exists between academics and pro wannabe athletes.

Hate to say it but, those in charge at UGA are too soft. And that Ealey or easy dancing around beside the huddle at the Ark game—man –I dont care if your 12 or 70 years old. Get out there and play football and then go home. We dont care about your j—gle habits. And if you dont like it—take that Green loser with you and get out of TOWN!!!!!! Man Georgia has turned into a laughing matter. It is truely hard to relate to.—Gotta go kill some mosquitos and cook hamburgers on the grill.

I got a great idea. Let St. Richt suspend anyone arrested for the first game of the season against the sisters of the poor. That would really teach them a lesson and put the fear into the other players. Or how about recruiting some character kids instead of just 5 “star” guys that will listen and give it their all on Saturday for UGA instead of just looking for a way to the NFL. Say what you will, but this is some of the problem. Besides, we do not seem to be doing to well with our 4 and 5 “star” recruits as it is right now.

Please…..A.J Green’s Agent / Drug Dealer was just arrested again on I-20 near Madison with a sizable amount of Crack Cocaine…wrapped in foil…covered with peanut butter and doused with pepper. How, if you’re a true American citizen can you condone the criminal, immoral behaviour that has occurred in the UGA athelitics department over the past decades??? Do you have no shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!
