Blood in the water and they are circling.

They think there's a huge story out there regarding staffers and players and can't wait to get dirt on anyone associated with this tragedy.

The last paragraph, oof. At least they didn't publish those guys' names.

But the team needs to be on notice- they are being followed by "journalists" now. Don't go somewhere or be somewhere that you might not want to be published in the AJC.


ETA- thanks for posting the archive link so they don't get clicks and we don't get paywall.

Some college kids did what college kids do. Up to and including going to titty bars. And then a tragic accident happened. I think most sane people will not be shocked but will be grossed out by the creepy media

Ok, frick the AJC for a lot of this article, but frick them in particular for this graf:

quote:

It is not clear whether Bowles and LeCroy had been assigned to accompany McClendon, Willock or other players the evening of the crash. Their work duties as recruiting analysts — listed in a job description that UGA posted in 2021 for a similar position — included giving tours to football prospects and driving them around the campus and the city. The job posting did not mention accompanying current players on any occasions. If Bowles and LeCroy were not on duty, their socializing with players suggests a possible violation of university rules. In a policy manual for student-athletes, the UGA Athletic Association says coaches and staff members are responsible for avoiding “prohibited consensual relationships” with athletes. This includes behavior that might be deemed “inappropriate,” the document says. The policy does not list all possible examples of inappropriate conduct. However, employees may be fired for violations, the document says.


They essentially just inferred that LeCroy and Bowles are fricking or at least dating Willock and McClendon. That is a ludicrous and unfounded leap of logic that is completely inappropriate and heartless in the wake of a 24-year-old girl’s death.

frick the AJC.

You can bet the AJC will try to now make a living on this story and more.

Agreed.

I've been to toppers. I wasn't a regular there, but if I got treated like a VIP whenever I went in, I might have been.

I don't know what difference it makes whether they were in Boars Head or Toppers, except to make the story more nefarious and get more clicks. Why even publish that. It simply tarnishes the reputation of the recently deceased, and isn't germane to the story, at all. Nobody ever claimed they were coming from a bible study, everyone already knew they were coming from some type of party atmosphere.

Something else of note, it doesn't seem like they failed to negotiate a curve, according to the step by step on the maps. They went off the road before the curve.

With all these details trickling out, for McClendon to be basically unscathed is a true miracle. Being the front seat of a car that splits two telephone poles in half, and being released from the hospital hours later with only bumps and bruises, is absolutely incredible.

Just reprehensible. Even by the AJC's standards.

Hopefully Kirby and Josh tells the AJC they are no longer welcome at pressers and that they can GGF.

Exactly. UGA needs to pull all press credentials for those clowns. No field access, no press conferences, no interviews. Why open the door for someone actively out to smear your name?

Isn't DawgNation owned by the AJC?

I want Kirby to come out with a press conference like Mike Gundy did, calling it garbage.

For reference-

A week after the crash, several football players returned to another site: Toppers, the downtown strip club. Reporters observed them early Sunday in the club’s VIP section, elevated on a platform just behind the dancers’ stage. A bottle of liquor sat in a bucket on a table.


Yep. They are following them, now.

The AJC used to be a good read, outside of Jeff Schultz.

Why would a bottle of liquor sit in a bucket? Was probably shitty overpriced champagne

Yes and it’s probably the only part of that dying rag still making them any money.

Worked at Toppers for a brief period. Really is just another club. Not like ball players can’t get girls when they want.

Rude of AJC to focus on that aspect.

Not really. The shot girl at Boars Head won't show me her anus for a dollar.
