Yesterday towards the end of the day i gave up and started trolling. I agree it's completely hypocritical haha. Im just tired of the "Athens is so badass thats why our players get in trouble the cops are worse than anywhere in the world (pauses 30 seconds to masterbate to Athens)" argument.

Every team has problems, including UT. But i would not say our problems appear to be returning. Our arrests are largely due to once party where 9 or so athletes got cited for MIP. Other than that (sayign this as someone whohas watched UT very closely the past 5 years) our player's condut has improved immensly since the arrival of Butch Jones. Unlike Dooley, who they could walk all over, CBJ holds the guilty party and the rest of the team accountable for bad behavior. Every team's system is different, including UGA. There's not really a right or wrong argument to make here. It's all just different.

The fact of the matter is, these kids are athletes. When they get arrested, it's news. When your average 20 year old gets arrested, nobody bats an eye. It just seems UGA players tend to stick in the spotlight moreso than players from most schools.

I figured! Sometimes you just got to have a little fun and troll!

I never really understood the Athens PD argument, myself. Other students seem to make it through Athens just fine.

I honestly have no idea why Georgia seems to have so many off season problems.

But I think it is time we did something different. From what I understand, Richt has begun a mentoring program....putting upper classmen with FR/So. Hopefully that will help.

While this seems to be true, we do seem to have more sticking in that spotlight. And it is not a spotlight we want to be in.
