Mainly just made for 18 wheelers. Nothing but extremely rural small towns between Macon and Savannah.

All that said, state patrol. is all over it and he was pretty stupid thinking he wouldn't get caught.

If you’ve ever had the displeasure of being forced to traverse I-16 between Macon and Savannah, you’d understand. The worst interstate highway in the Southeast, period. Certainly the most boring.

Hell, I drove it end to end in less than 90 minutes when I was in college. That averages about 115 mph for the drive.


It's a road. Obey the traffic laws. It's not hard.

I-70 through Kansas will make you want to red line it and get out and push at the same time.

Did he drive it into a woman's stopped car killing her and her dog? Did he shoot someone execution style? Rules out Florida and Bama

That sucks too, but I seem to hit more traffic on 26 than I remember on 16

This is Smith’s second known driving offense. He was previously arrested in January 2022 for speeding in a construction zone and driving on a suspended license. #Eagles.


I just don't understand how these guys with 8 figure contracts struggle to find a local track or drag strip where they could safely drive as fast as they want. Heck, get your agent to reach out to Red Bull or Nascar or something, I'm sure they'd be glad to hook up an NFL player.

I always thought the 2008 Gators were the fastest SEC team in history, but 2021-2022 UGA is peerless apparently

Pfft I’ll see I16 and raise you panhandle I10 driving west on any given afternoon. A green hellscape with the unforgiving sun directly in your eyes and the only respite being billboards for tacky surf shops and warnings of God’s imminent wrath.


You forgot the "Cafe's Risque" billboards. But I find the stretch of 10 between 75 and Jacksonville the worst

Driver’s Ed in Georgia is very different than other states.

No, not the same crime of speeding. But when murder is included in those crimes....murder trumps speeding, don't you think? And the speeders at Georgia is not in one year. It is spread out over 4 years, so 4 different teams. 2008 was all from one team.

Over 20 people arrested for driving offenses…

On the one hand… it’s driving offenses, not drugs or violent crimes.

On the other hand, it has to be especially egregious to be arrested for a driving offenses. Keep it under 100, and don’t hurt anyone, they are probably going to let you go with a ticket…

Oh and don’t drive drunk…


It’s not hard to stay out of jail.

Then you get through Kansas and find that the eastern half of Colorado is the same thing, although you can see Pike's Peak from 100 miles away.

Nope. Right thread. I'll tell you like I told many in the threads going ape over Kiffin. (And no, Kiffin doesn't have a lot of room to point fingers at another school either) None have lilly white histories and it is just odd to see people pointing fingers.

If you don't want to be reminded of past indiscretions of your own players, then I would suggest you not get all faux outraged over other teams problems.

No team has had absolutely no problems with players.

A florida fan has no room to talk about any teams former alum. You hired and coveted a coach that recruited and allowed gang banger killers on your team. Just STFU no one cares about your jealousy of Georgia same as we don't care about Ole puss's jealousy of LoSerU
