Flat Tire on I-95 in Jacksonville

The only thing upsetting is bong smokers like you Krinkle and Atlamaha Arm fisherman is how you guys defend everything no matter wrong or right
I bet you 3 were crying when Willie Martinez was fired. I know Altamaha dope was.

tampa: That fat guy with a flat tire dbag is lonely. What will he do if he can’t come on here acting like a dawg fan (which clearly did not attend UGA)? He lives with his parents at 35yrs old and again smells weird and is lonely. I try and keep the dbag company when time allows. BTW, he is factless!!!!

Just because you clean toilets for the University of Georgia doesnt mean you attend or have graduated from UGA

Fat guy with flat tire: your dbag skills are priceless! What fact have you ever provided? How is the unemployment life treating you? As a matter of fact you are a dbag troll that still lives with his parents at the age of 35. You are the bottom of the earth that got personal btw. Change your sheets and brush you teeth for gods sakes.

What is nonsense about this fact
People wanting to talk about how great of a coach Richt has been they spout off 100 wins ok
But you look at things that are most important such as how Richt fares in big games and you find that
Richt is 29-26 against top 25 opponents
8-11 against top 10 opponents
Hasnt beat a ranked team in 2 yrs
All with the talent that UGA has had
So thats nonsense

When you can come up with facts like my 4:21 posts to counter an argument instead of an 8 year old response of “your fired loser moron”

I encourage each of you to read the “1969 Graduate” piece posted at 12:53 pm. Hats off to 1969 for a carefully crafted and accurate posting on the state of UGA football and why it exists as it does today. Congrats to 1969 Graduate for a timely post.

If we had the news and media coverage we have today when Dooley was coach he never would have lasted 2 years at Georgia. Those boys were wild back then and Vince would have been defending them from sunrise to sunset. Relax people. I am sure none of you ever got tipsy, smoked a joint or had sex before marriage but be merciful to these bad and sinful boys. Yeah, they messed up. No we’re not happy about. And yes, we wish they were good little boys like we were when we went to UGA. Sh!t happens. Let’s see if they learn from their mistakes before we exile them to the human waste bin. I hope they will but if not, there will be a time to deal with it.

I agree with 1969
Yea when UGA has been a National Champion of player arrests since 2005 I guess we cant blame Richt for that either according to the bong smokers aka
Tampa Dawg, WDE, Mr. Kinky, and Altamaha Dope
They love to overlook those embarrasments of the UGA program

Some post touched on it, but it is not about the “he said/she said” on the pot issue. It is about conditioning and getting the most production out of the recruits. Bottom line, IC is not in good shape. This is what happens to all those 5* players.

Yes Flat Tire that is nonsense. The VAST majority of MAJOR college programs would kill to have those numbers over a 10 year span. Have they had some down times the last couple of years? Yup. Do all teams have down years? Yup. I know, I know .. we could have had Will Muschamp right? Or we could have brought in Dan Mullen at the end of last year right?

I am a tech fan, but give the guys a break,,most of the folks on here that complain they smoked a little weed are the same guys stone drunk at their game and drive home drunk…they party their way and you party yours…how many kids at UGA and Gt smoked some weed this year but the ball players are all you care about…and all that are put in the spotlight

Yup those same teams keep on losing to ranked teams, those same teams keep losing to the same team those same teams have losing records to top opponents all with having the #2 best talent in that 10 yr span dont they
Wait with no national title and having to hope other teams lose out so you can go to your conference championship game
Yup that about sums it up

OSU, under Tressel didn’t beat every ranked team they played. USC with the monster classes they had, didn’t beat every ranked team they played. Let’s just keep firing through coaches though until we get a title right?
BTW, what 2 things do those two schools have in common?
1. They got their NC
2. They got their NCAA punishments. Careful what you wish for.

Go dawgs I must disagree. Murray’s passes were not poorly thrown for the 2 td’s . Those recievers were blanketed and he put it in the only place our guy had a chance to make the play. Even at that it did take a great catch. Glad you don’t hate Murray. Good kid, talented and yes, a tad too inconsistent but he does bleed red and black.

K2 is illegal (I think) in every state now but, it doesn’t matter if it’s K2 or Pot. It’s a forbidden chemical by the Athletic department.
K2 I understand to be akin man made meth. Seems the health risks are greater than smoking weed. Why not just smoke weed? *shrugs*

“Does Tech even give drug tests to it’s SA’s?
The ESPN writer was on 790 The Zone and said Richt orders drug tests as soon as he
has a reason to suspect someone has been abusing drugs, and that he had wider
information that his happened over the summer, and that all involved passed the
screening.
But have you ever heard of Tech players suspended for recreational drugs? Based on
what I’ve read concerning tuis incident, all of that is completely up to the school and
it’s AD; he NCAA tests for performance enhancers but nothing else.
While we he world is hammering us for suspending Crowell for dope, why is nobody
questioning the leniency and testing frequency at other programs?
Tech doesn’t suspend on the first positive drug test – and what do we know about
whether or not they test at all? If they never have any suspensions, you can assume
one of three thingsTech
1- Tech players never do drugs (lol)
2- Tech always nips it the bud after the first positive test
3- Tech does not test, or they warn their players a test is coming
Number 1 is laughable, number 2 would seem nice, but this is an athletic department
that actually saw a baseball player overdose on heroin, and the odds he never did any
testable drugs before that are nil IMO.
On number three, they just got smacked by the NCAA for warming a kid that he was
going to be questioned. They have also been smacked for playing kids they knew to
be inelligible. Thy have established a culture of hireling facts rather than risk losing
players for games – the total opposite of our own “air all be dirty laundry” approach.
The local media has relished going all Woodward and Bernstein on Greg McGarrity.
Let’s see if they turn to Tech and ask some hard questions concerning their drug
policies.
Just don’t hold your breath for that to happen. ”
From a blogger on another site….now Yechmites posting as Dawg fans, Dawg fans being irrational and other ignorant posters criticizing CMR….put that in your pipe and smoke it….

You reap what you sow. If Richt wants to continue recruiting alcoholics, drug users, and miscreants, then he’ll continue having to deal with losers like Crowell and Washington.
Maybe Washington learned something and will straighten himself out, but Crowell shows every sign of being a perennial loser, far more likely to be sweeping an NFL stadium than playing in one.

Trying to compare the failings of the UGA players with Tech players is a losing proposition, son.

Maybe not, it’s just as likely that he gets it together. We’ll see. Can’t really know what that first issue was and could very well be some sort of meeting/study tardiness or just a lazy effort that Wednesday. Richt is really handling this kid with a lot more personal attention than normal. Personally, I don’t think Crowell has as much issues as some previous players, and It just seems as if he is really trying to get out in front of it with some tough love, he must think there is something there.

OkieDawg is right on about all of this. Clean out all the deadbeats,put the fear of God in CMR about all of this nonsense or find a coach who will clean house.Cut your shoulder length hair and drug tests often or quit and get off the team.Where is a General George Patton type of coach when we need him? People are sick and tired of this!

Enough already with all the CMR bashing. While these athletes may be kids in some eyes, I am not too old to remember what it is like to be that age. They are young adults and should be held accountable for their actions – not CMR. It is easy to knock the man, too easy for me to hop aboard that wagon. I can argue for and against him as the HC. Maybe he is too soft, perhaps we are just given more info than other fans. Maybe he will bring a NC to us, perhaps not. As long as he is the HC and he is giving us his best, I cannot attack him personally. When it comes to the Xs and Os, he is fair game.

103-36 best winning % of any SEC coach and in top 10 of all college coaches in football. How many schools have a coach with that kinf of record. Dawgs are on rise 2 more good/great recruiting classes and playing for NC not out of question.
Extend CMR contract now and recruits roll in and championships follow.

TampaDawg at 2:07,
TD, read the handbook they give out that I referenced above. It gives specific guidelines that the schools must follow and can even put a school on suspension if too much crap goes on in the dope dept. Yes, they do, for the most part leave it up to the schools to punish the individuals but they make up the rules as to what the student has to know, and he has to sign a a mandated NCAA form letter acknowledging that the athlete has read the NCAA guidelines, and agrees to comply with them. My understanding is he also has to sign a letter of agreement, stating that he has read and understands the UGA guidelines, and punishment possible as well. The NCAA is very much involved in setting the guideline and educating these kids about drugs and policies. In fact they have a whole department devoted to compliance issues in this area. UGA’s is one of the toughest policies and punishment schedules in the NCAA. There are a few that are tougher but that is mostly like at a college supported by a denomination. I applaud UGA for their tough stand, in light of other schools that are win first and turn the head the other way, until it becomes impossible, to let the person continue to play anymore without losing all credibility. Steve Spurrier-Steve Garcia travesty comes to mind.

Issues like this are the easy way for Richt bashers to come back after several games of relative calm in the front. AJC have found another issue to hang over the head of the UGA faithful. To those who say that this does not happen in other schools athletic programs are plain simple delusional. What is worse bashing the head of other people in a bar fight or these. LOL

I think those Richt haters should forget about this issue as the more they dwell on it the more entrenched Richt become in his position. The hater will not determine the fate of Richt. It will be those old conservative athletic board members and big contributors.
To the haters, you will not affect the future of Richt. LOL

There are some grown @ss men in this blog crying like little girls over a sport, team, coach, and administration that they have no power to even influence, let alone change.
Who cares. Did anyone fire an AK-47 at an impound lot owner or text death threats to their girlfriend?
Pot should be legal anyway. I couldn’t care less if athletes smoke pot.
