It's going to take innocents being killed before Kirby, AD department, and the Georgia BOR to do something about this. Some attack lawyers are gonna shred the program with it's past record and failure to gain control of the situation.


I think it will definitely lead to Mad Max like-apocalpyse long before Kirby can do anything to stop it and the gangs will take over the highways! Good grief, dude...

I guess it'll just be a waiting game until someone gets killed over this nonsense. Good luck to Georgia.

At this point Kirby has to say “if you are arrested for this, you are automatically off the team. No exceptions”.

That’s the only way this will stop


you are off the team for speeding

People get speeding tickets all the time. Sign the ticket and go about their business. Take driver's ed. or pay the ticket and move on, happens everyday.

Being arrested for speeding is another thing altogether.

At this point just build a race track for the athletes. That has gotta be better than putting up these headlines every week.

They have a race track. It's called Echo Park Speedway. It used to be called Atlanta Motor Speedway.

No dice. At Georgia, we use these type incidents to better the young men and mold them into productive members of society. This will serve as an excellent character shaping event.


It’s clearly not taking.

Are there any conspiracy theories regarding this? I mean this is getting absurd


Not a conspiracy, just that APD decides to arrest athletes for this type of stuff.

Just the other day, my buddy got a super speeding ticket for going 105 on I-85 South of Newnan. He has to pay the original speeding ticket + an additional $200 fine.

In Athens, they arrest you and charge a $26 bail

Obviously it’s a problem, but just more awareness since they arrest the kids. I am sure elsewhere, they just ticket a kid and no one ever knows

No one is “defending them.” We are simply saying that there is more awareness since they actually arrest the kids instead of just giving them a ticket and moving on.

Kids are stupid. Kids that get paid a shitload and have fast cars are more stupid. Football players in general tend to be more stupid than the average kid too.

We just can’t compare it to other Universities because they arent dumb enough to arrest people for speeding

No other school in the SEC, let alone the country, would tell players that. Just stop.

I maintain that the only reasons you even heard about this is because of the assholes at the AJC and the assholes running Athens-Clarke County PD plus UGAPD. The two law enforcement agencies have had stiffys for UGA students (not just student athletes) since I was enrolled in the early 90s. And the AJC goes after UGA any time it can.
