Kwame Geathers’ father upset over his son’s half-game suspension

I agree completely with Mr. Geathers. UGA always seems to get penalized for infractions and other college teams/players get nothing. If you want to talk about lack of class, start with the Vandy coach who initiated all of this and Logan Stewart.

I can’t ever remember the SEC suspending someone for a personal foul that was flagged on the field. Not saying that it has never happened; just do’t remember it. This has gone way to far, but I can tell you this, he be a nightmare for FL come the second half of that game.

I didn’t see the cheap shot watching the game. After watching the video, Kwame should not get suspended for receiving such a cheap shot to the knee. That will hurt us a lot more than it will Vandy. JJ will have to step it up in the first half if so.

Kind of like Ben Jones going after the Miss State players knees last year. Coach Richt marched his hind end to the sideline and told him not to do that anymore. Then he put him back in. Seems like UGA has been accused of chop blocks before.

Mr. Geathers is correct to be mad. This is embarrasing for the SEC to penalize Kwame. I don’t condon his punch at all but the tape has to be able to be viewed by the SEC and it is clear. Vandy played a dirty game and tried to act as if they did nothing wrong.

Go DAWGS!

Chip – I don’t know if it is you or a supposed “editor”, but the articles and headlines regarding the UGA/Vandy issues have been downright sensationalist and irresponsible.”… upset over his forthcoming suspension”…??? You could say possible, pending… forthcoming sounds as if it has already been decided.

And to characterize Kwame’s reaction as a punch is also a bit harsh. He was clearly the victim of a dirty hit after the whistle had blown and the play stopped. I think any player who is hit from behind unexpectedly after the whistle is going to react with a physical response. His “punch” is more of a rapid push, and it was not followed by any other aggressive movement.

It is obvious when the AJC tries to over-hype issues involving UGA, and I’m sick of it.

Wouldn’t happen to Bama, LSU, FL, or Auburn. The inequality with the way punishment is doled out by the SEC is unexcusable. UGA athletic department needs to quit being so compliant and fight back – tell the SEC to take their two quarter suspension and shove it!

It seems this Vandal coach isn’t as innocent as he makes himself out to be. And for someone to maliciously try to injure another player and allowed to continue to play is on the refs. If they had dealt with this during the game none of the after game drama would have happened. Maybe Slive can review the crew that did that game and determine why it wasn’t addressed.

Jame Franklin is a deceitful, pretentious, self-righteous hyprocrite. Could Grantham have responded in a better way – Yes – He has admitted his fault.

The Vandy coach is a grown adult who has no business coming at 20 year old players after the game. And then yell back at our coach – there was no turning the other cheek. As Richt said walk out and shake hands – that means you too James. Vandy likes to protray themsellves as this clean cut group that plays by the rules. That is the dirtiest, cheating team UGA has played all year. Call a spade a spade !!!

The only reason the SEC even looked at it with such scrutiny is because of what happened at the end of the game. It was pretty classless, but a good marketing ploy by Franklin to come after a UGA player and then say he was looking for Richt, which he clearly was not. Grantham happened to be closer and Franklin started in on him to prove that Vandy is not going to stand by while the big bullies try to walk over them any more and it blew up in his face (so did Grantham, by the way). Once he finally found Richt, he was like “Mr. Richt, your coach yelled at me, sniff, sniff…” and Richt, being the peacekeeper dobbed his tears and told him it was going to be okay.
The after-game incident caused so much conversation and uproar that the SEC went above and beyond to make a statement. Both players were flagged and I, too have to wonder about the double-standard Slive seems to uphold.
Kwame, get all revved up on the sideline in the first half so we can turn you loose on the Gator offensive line in the second half. It might just be a career game for you.

GATA!

Cut blocking, chop blocking and “clipping” are all different. A chop block is when one offensive player is holding up a defender and another offensive player hits the same defender below the waist. Cut blocking is where a single offensive player blocks a single defender below the waste. Clipping is a block from behind (generally below the knee). Cut blocking is legal. Chop blocking and clipping are not. What you see in the video is a clipping. Defensive lineman hate all three!

Sorry Mr. Geathers but you can be penalized for reactions as well. Punching a guy is going to get you suspended. It doesn’t matter what provoked it. If your son would have just walked away then UGA would not have gotten a penalty and your son would play the whole game against UF. You should use this as a teaching experience to let your son know that he cant react like a violent maniac if he gets hit with a cheap shot.

Deal with their issues in private and do so deliberately.

Geathers did nothing that anyone who has ever played the game at any level would not have done.

This is so much easier to say when it isn’t you and it isn’t your son. In fact, you have no way of knowing how you would react in that situation until it is you in that situation. Let someone clearly try to take your knee out and see how you feel. Besides, you say he could have just walked away but quite honestly, that ability was almost taken away from him .. literally. Stewart should be suspended for the year. His signal to the bench and the video of him lining up the hit make it obvious his intentions were to injure.

Have to say that I agree that Kwame was wrong by throwing the punch according to the rules of football. Do i blame him for reacting to the cheep shot after the play was over…. NO. Just being a man. But the penalties for the clip and for the punch after should be thrown and accessed on the field not in the office the next week. If the official thought the penalty was 15 yards… fine… If he thought it should be an ejection…. fine…. eject either or both. But this evaluating penalties the following week and accessing a penalty is for the birds.

1/2 game is OK I guess – shouldn’t retaliate – but usually retailiation is punished with a penalty – but I’m ok with it.

The young Vandy player should pay a heftier price – at least one game I think would suffice –

If the SEC is investigating, they should investigate the “thumbs up”. If a kid it taught/encouraged/coherced into diving at the back of a player’s knee after a play winds down, the coach should be banned from the SEC.

That’s the tragedy – along with the fact that Bradley/Shultz want to find a way to suspend Grantham for scowling on the sideline

I can’t imagine the CMR and the Athletic Dept are not doing something about KG’s suspension, or possible suspension. The UF game is huge and we need everyone. Those who say CMR doesn’t have a pair, how can you make that call, when you all have been slamming Chip for not letting all the facts come out on the suspension. Maybe everything comes out today or tomorrow and Chip is exactly right. I just can’t believe anyone associated with UGA football will not try to appeal. Some of you are rushing to judgment prior to knowing 100% sure of all the facts. Unless you are in the meetings, it is just speculation! But, I do agree with all of you, KG should have knocked the crap out of the Vandy kid. Let’s get ready for UF!! It’s time to change the mojo on that game!! I’m sick of losing to those guys!!

If he knew he was going to get suspended, he should have twisted his helmet or broken his nose to make it really count.

First off I am a Tech fan. Get that out of the way. At first glance and reading the headline, my first thought was that Geathers dad was blowing smoke. Then read the article, but most importantly, saw the video. I totally agree with his Dad. Not so much on him being punished, as anytime you retaliate on the field, there will be punishment. But that was a dangerous block that Logan DECIDED to make on Geathers. I feel that the Vandy coaches do owe an appology. That could have very easily had been the end of his career. An inch either way and Geathers could be sidelined. Kudos to his Dad.

Take off the red lenses for a second fellas. If I had been in Kwame’s position, I’d have gone straight for that kids head with knees and elbows till the chinstrap came off. That is irrelevant, however, b/c this sport is trying to maintain a new “image” so that it no longer appears to be an uncivilized, barbaric sport. They have to send clear messages in these cases. A clear message is: you don’t use your fists to end a confrontation on or off the field. A clear message is: if you take a shot at someone who is unprotected, you will miss playing time. It has nothing to do with a “Who hit Who first”. As disciplined players and young men, sometimes you need to turn the other cheek and take the high road. That’s the league’s stance. As a man, if you take a shot at me, I’m gonna let you know that you picked a fight with the wrong hound. I don’t blame Kwame for sending his own private “Don’t F w/me” message. Grantham should know better, he’s a 45 year old man who saw plenty of TV exposure in the NFL and knows how it affects coaches’ careers. There’s a trade-off that you have to be willing to accept responsibility for. Gain respect/lose playing time. Lose respect/Stay on the field. Totally a judgement call, and, from a team perspective with what’s riding on this season, probably not the right one.

First of all hits like that take place every week in every game. Sometimes out in the open,sometimes in positions where it may not be seen as well. That does not make it right, however punching or swinging at a player is not right as well. I remember a few years ago when an Auburn offensive lineman purposly blocked LSU’s Glen Dorsey at is knees. Dorsey did not miss a game thankfully however he was hampered for the next 3 or 4 games until he was able to get back to full speed. That kids did not serve a suspension by the conference or Auburn. But to say that UGA gets a bad rap is over the top also to say that Franklin is “Whatever he was called” is dumb as well. He is no more classless that Richt. Remember the Florida game when the entire team ran to the endzone to celebrate a TD. I know that it is a rivalry but the principles of sportsmanship should be the same. Then with the UGA players running over to talk smack after the game, is normal in sports to a degree but again you have to wonder if Richt is even pushing the sportsmanship thing at all. I think both coaches are class guys, but Franklin is obviously trying to change the mindset of his players and the program overall.

I did not mean to say that, however what I am saying is that things like this happens several times in every game at every level, however when you see stuff like this happen involving the players of one coach it makes you wonder if he is telling his kids about being hardnosed yet showing good sportsmanship.

After looking at the video numerous times – real time and slow motion – I agree 100% with Geathers father. That was a classic cowardly, dirty, cheap shot by Vandy’s, Logan Stewart, and could have ended Kwame Geathers’ career. The “play” at that point was over and well away from both players. Vandy’s Stewart had no reason to even bump Geathers, much less deliberately attack his knee from behind. There is no excuse to justify what happened and Geathers only reacted instincively as most any competitive player would, when their career is deliberately threatened like that. I can see a penalty being called in the game, for the so called “retaliation” by Geathers, perhaps even a reprimand, but the suspension is B.S.!
The Commissioner and the SEC folks generally do a good job but in this case I feel they are covering their butts by penalizing everyone.

I hope this helps you understand…

(1) The SEC is NOT the NFL .. .so no matter what the rules are there.. they may or may not apply in college football, in other words, NFL rules have no relevance to the league your son plays in.

(2) Your son did wrong. Period. Ask him to be a stand up guy and take responsibility for HIS actions. 2 quarters of football does not seem like much to me. Kwame’s reaction was wrong !! To say he “didnt do anything wrong” is wrong in itself.

I was initially mad that the AJC jumped all over UGA for this game. I am at least pleased with the fact that at least one writer of the AJC has the maturity to come back and tell the whole story as it comes to light. While I’m still not impressed with the tendency for most the of writers (read Jeff Schultz) to bash Georgia at every opportunity, it helps that others (read Chip Towers) operate like professionals. For that I thank you, Chip.

I am sick of the discrepancy in punishmentment meted out by the SEC office and Mike Slive who I have lost all respect for and didn’t have much left anyway after last year. Money drives the SEC office.

I am sick of the way the AJC has long handled stories concerning UGA. Giving that Vanderbilt POS the headlines and how he is benefitting in recruiting…instead of calling out the hypocritical $%^ he really is.

I am also sick of the people at UGA not sticking up for their athletes. Just take it, roll over, and take it again. CMR agreed with Franklin before ever even hearing the other side of the story. And no he hadn’t had time to know the full story. I want my coaches to have my players back and I want my head coach to have the assistant’s backs. Even if they are wrong he needs to hear their side first, discipline them or talk with them, and then respond publicly.

The punch was a reflex at a potentially career ending cheapshot. I could not agree more with the father and Bulldawg Nation (not the woosies on here disguised as UGA or the Tech or Alabama or Florida fans) should all be offended.

If the Vandy recruits love their drama seeking, hyposritical, whiny coach, then help yourself to him.

Go Dawgs!

In the last 3 or 4 seasons UGA players have been involved in situations where they could have substained live changing injuries from reckless,aggressive and prehaps coached behavior from opponents.
The first I remember involved the eye gouging by Brandon Spikes. Last season Nick Fairly tried to injury Aaron Murray the entire game and succeeded with a helmet spear to the back that left Murray rolling in pain on the turf. The lastest was the blind side clip by Logan Stewart in an attempt to “blow out” Gaithers’ knee after play was over in the Vandy game. Some how a personal foul penalty of 15 yards for this “premeditated” behavior seem inadequate. Even the retaliatory responses (for which they were penalized)by Ben Jones against Nick Fairly and the “punch” by Gaithers against Logan Stewart does not do justice. I reaize the game of football is violate and officiating is sometimes poor, but must we wait until a young man is paralyzed to do something. We have “under further review” to determine the spot of the football or whether the receiver actually caught the ball or was he out of bounds. Prehaps there should be a “review” to determine if a dirty player or coach should be removed from the game. Coach Richt what are you doing to protect and defend UGA players?

It’s fans like you Gatormeat that give the entire gator fanbase a bad name. How dare you say such things about people from GA and suggest that the player should have taken Geathers out for good! This is why, as a GA transplant (and longtime fan & alum) to FL, I can’t stand most gator fans, even when I tried to defend you guys when I first moved here. Most of you have no class (all the way to the upper eschelon; i.e. doctors, lawyers, other professionals, etc.), and I have always conducted myself with class. FYI, I grew up with GA kicking florida’s butt, so I know what it is like to be on the other side. You guys were irrelefvant until the 90’s and now think you are the class of the SEC east – what a joke! If any of you knew how to win or lose with class, it would be a different story; however, it is a fact that all of you have no clue how to conduct yourselves with any type of dignity. Oh well, I guess we will just see what happens next week. I, for one, hope this latest news for GA turns out to be a huge positive and we kick your collective arses!! I am tired of being disrespected by a bunch of low class losers in life – you may win most of them (in recent years) on the football field, but you are losers in life if you don’t know how to treat others with respect! We’ll just have to see what happens next week, won’t we a***holes!! Go DAWGS!! For the record, Geathers had a reason to respond like he did – what if somebody tried to take you, or your kid, out of a game for good. And Franklin has the audacity to complain about anything. Looks like Vandy has a bunch of classless coaches who condone that type of play. Hope Franklin gets what he deserves in the long run – just remember KARMA is a Biotch!! Look at your own coach and players in recent years, especially Muschamp this year, then tell me you are justified in saying anything about any other coaches, fans, players. Why do you think everybody else, other than gator fans, can’t stand you guys? And this opinion was prevelant long before you guys were even relevant! Sorry for Geathers and his family that they are having to deal with this!!

I am a life-long Georgia fan and have supported Richt many times when others have criticized him. But I think I have had about enough of him and think it may be time for him to go. For him to walk up to Franklin and be so accepting of the Vanderbilt version of what happened is hard for me to believe. I am not condoning what Coach Grantham did and am not saying that Richt should have yelled back at Franklin, but for him to be so apologetic without getting his own players’ and coach’s versions of the story tells me tht he is more worried about how he is perceived by the media and other coaches than he is about UGA. I really don’t see Les Miles or Saban having that same conversation. Geathers should not have punched the Vandy player, but you have to understand a player’s reaction to a play that is clearly intended to do major harm. Why wasn’t this play called in the first place? And if it is true that the Vandy player was given the thumbs up by the Vandy coaching staff after the dirty play on Geathers, then that film needs to be sent to the SEC and let’s see if they will reprimand Vandy. It seems that Richt and UGA are always just so apologetic to the NCAA and the SEC and then they get huge punishments while other programs take a hard stand and get a free pass. Was Farley ever called for dirty plays? It is just so obvious that the NCAA and SEC make examples out of UGA becasue they know Richt will be just so nice and Christian about it. I am not a Tech fan but I have to respect them for announcing they would challenge the NCAA punishment decision. Richt, if you cannot stand up for UGA, then you need to go.

I think this is great!! No matter what another player does to instigate it, it is against the rules to throw a punch, like Precious Geathers did. A punch thrown is an auto suspension.

I can’t wait to see the second half sea of teal seats on the East side of Everbank!

So worked up about nothing…..If you’re not careful you will the snake bitten Gators and once again leave Jax as a bunch of losers.

This is your best chance to get us, but don’t worry Murray and Crowell will give up the ball 4 more times next weekend. You’ve lost the ability to win in Jax. Losing to UF has permeated the program and losing once again to the Gators is inevitable.

Mr. Robert Geathers is a fine gentleman who along with his sons and other family members have given more to the game of college and professional football than any family I can come up with off the top of my head. That said, the rules should apply equally to all, however, we have come full circle once again with a blatant lack of common sense…………….Mike Slive the so-called head man of the SEC is no man whatsoever…………Mike Slive is more concerned with image, expansion, money, and raw-power than the health and well being of a fine young man who understandably took a reaction shot at a cheap shot player from Vanderbilt……………And hell no, this shot was nothing like the “clip” Ben Jones was guilty of last year. I am an old man, I believe in good sportsmanship, but I do believe more in common sense. I wonder if the Vanderbilt center has written a letter of apology to Kwamme as Ben Jones did after his less violent block. All I can say is God help that Vanderbilt center [soph] when Kwamme lines up against him next year in Athens…………Do you really think BULLDOG NATION, Kwamme Geathers, and his teamates are going to forget?……………Lastly, do you think that Junkyard D might be playing with a tad bit of emotion just to show the Nation they damn well back-up their own…………as well as coach Todd Grantham?………….If by chance Mr. Robert Geathers is reading this, thanks for your contribution to this great game……….and thanks for raising such fine young men…………..Sincerily, RED

If the SEC though we were in the National Title hunt, there would be no suspensions for risk of losing the BCS payouts.

Having lost a football career to a knee injury and then treating knees for many years professionally, any player who shoots at a knee blindside And after the play intends to injure the recipient.Cheap shot doesn`t do that justice. That the act was apparently sanctioned by a coach ranks it in the cesspool of sportsmanship. The interview in which Vandy`s coach defends his player -calling out post game rant initiating a retaliatory reaction from LG clearly illustrates a spoiled brat attitude. The gentleman is nothing but a punk, and Logan should have been suspended for multiple with a warning that future such actions would get him booted. Naysayers and Vandy fans may rant at that, but ending a player`s season at the very least, and possibly a career with someone 350 lbs taking a lateral shot like that, is inexcusable. Mr Geathers is not only right in his indignation, but shows remakable self control. If it were my son and he had been injured, I`d travel to nashville and give the coach a swift kick in the nuts.
