re: 680 reports he is not on plane

The thread that keeps on giving. There will be no riots, except those in some posters' heads.

Don't you just love how rumors and crap take off and build a head of steam? When this first broke, eveyone was going crazy saying he would never play again and trying to find the guy who "forced" him to take the money... and then a few days later the same people were going crazy saying that UGA had done right by hiring the lawyer and also saying that he would only get one game. Fast forward once again to the new anti-admin crowd once again saying UGA is at fault - and then throw in some alters stirring the pot, too.

I really am starting to enjoy reading the melts, especially once I realized how pathetic the fanbase on here really is.

Lol that was hyperbole dude, calm down.

He doesnt owe anybody anything in that sense I suppose. But when you do something selfish like he did it affects every other player on the team who worked hard to win the SEC and the playoffs. If we beat Arkansas and he is reinstated but chooses not to return it is a slap in the face to his peers imo.

Is it really selfish? Think about where the money most likely went.

Players who take money very rarely take it for themselves.

Look I get it that his family needs money, but he isnt the only player on the team. He is not the only one who worked all year to be in the position to win the SEC and make the playoff. Most of the players wont play in the NFL and this is the high point of their sport career. It is selfish to not think about them, imo.

This is all a result of fan's frustrations of just not knowing really anything about the situation. My personal frustration is that we are told in a press conference that this decision will be all but wrapped up today. Then we are told by a tweet before sun up yesterday that is isn't. I think if we were told on Wednesday that this will be an ongoing investivation for quite some time, people would throttle it back some. The worst thing is always not knowing. Now that we know for sure he didn't travel to Arkansas, and the bye week next week, we can all shut up about it and focus on the game at hand just like the same group of guys who blasted Mizzou off their home field last week.

His actions dictate it. This is all in response to the thought of him not returning though, not so much originally taking the money.

Of course his teammates dont hate him for it. They probably stand behind him and support him. But if he can come back for UF or AU and this team still has 1 loss I would be fricking pissed off if I played on the team and he just quit.

Yeah, sorry, missed that part. I thought we were talking about whether or not his teammates hate him for selling his name and putting his and their season at risk. I think some were referring to that.

As for leaving the team to prep for the NFL...I personally don't see that as being in his best interest anyways. His teammates aside, I don't see why he'd do it.

Why not? NFL scouts and all have already said that this mess won't affect his stock. So why risk injury? He might as well start preparing himself. I bet in his mind he already has.

Good point. We may as well start facing the truth of not seein him in the red and black. The only thing that he messed up was all the monies he is missing out on by not getting the heisman...
