This is really the only thing that gets my Jimmies rustled in all the "UGA is teh thUGA!!!!1111oneoneoneunouno!!!111 stuff"

2 of the 7 teams in the SEC West are going to start a player at QB that was kicked out of UGA.

People point out how we have a lot of players suspeded or players kicked off as if that indicates a lack of discipline.

Maybe the reason you hear a lot about UGA players misbehavior is that it comes with an automatic suspension most of the time.
Sports Illustrated on UGA drug policy
quote:

Georgia's policy calls for a 10-percent of the season (one game in football) suspension for the first offense and a 30-percent of the season (four games in football) suspension for a second positive. At all but two other schools in the SEC (Kentucky and Mississippi State), a player who tests positive the first time does not miss a game. At Alabama and LSU, the two programs that faced off for the national title last year, a second positive test forces a suspension of at most two games. At Florida, a second positive for marijuana results in a one-game suspension. (To see a conference-by-conference list of athletic department drug policies, check out the one compiled by CBSSports.com's Brett McMurphy in November.) By dinging players for one game on the first positive and four on the second, Georgia's substance-abuse policy hurts the program in two ways:


It's not about other teams being shady and UGA being so noble, I'd argue football player behavior is basically similar at all the high-profile schools, you are just going to hear about more misbehavior at places with stricter suspension policies. So then mouth-breathers (many of whom grew up in Georgia but couldn't get in UGA) can return to "Marc Rich has l0st control of thUGA!!!111"
