Where are they now? - Alan Judd

The sad part for Judd is that he was largely right about UGA having a culture problem. He just got way too far out over his skis with the conspiracy shite and trying to pull sexual assault into the mix with no actual evidence to the allegation. Arrogance and ego did him in.

To be fair, it's not a UGA-specific problem, it's a college football problem, this shite happens everywhere with 18-23 year old High-T males that are ultra competitive and not necessarily of high intellect. Also, other college programs don't have an AJC type of machine with a microscope up their arse 24 hours a day.

I don’t disagree with any of that. But when perception is reality, we have a very real problem we have to deal with that others simply don’t (even if it’s happening in Gainesville, Tuscaloosa, Knoxville, etc all the same)

Chip Towers' career was nearly ruined because the editor decided to put his name in the byline right next to Judd's, because Judd had pulled some ancillary information from Chip's previous reporting of routine UGA news. So dude puts out a sensational hit piece on UGA and then puts Chip's name in the byline, that is some really fricked up shite.

Been nice to bankrupt the AJC. They continue to be a pain and have been since Kemp.

As has been noted there is an issue with wreckless driving, but Athens is unlike most college towns, bigger than the small ones and smaller than the 1M plus cities where cops have to much to do.

UGA isn't alone it's just not covered elsewhere. At the point we should sue stillanatus for making stupid fast cars....

There is a story out there of Saban supposedly riding with a player in the players car to something in Birmingham etc. Where the State Patrol chases them for speeding and he calls someone and the state patrol just stops chasing them. Never happen in Georgia.

A South Carolina police officer has been fired after posting details of a traffic stop of Clemson coach Dabo Swinney on a University of South Carolina message board.

CPl. Michael McClatchy was fired Monday for using company equipment to detail his version of the events, Pickens (S.C.) Police Department chief Rodney Gregory said in a statement Friday.

On Sept. 3, McClatchy stopped a vehicle driven by Swinney for speeding, according to Gregory, who said the Clemson coach was traveling 63 mph in a 35 mph zone.

Swinney told McClatchy that he was late for his radio show at the BI-LO supermarket in Pickens, where he was pulled over. The officer cited Swinney for speeding, but reduced the penalty to a minimum fine and points, according to Gregory.

Last Friday, McClatchy posted his details of the events at 247sports.com in order to "clear the air for all involved."

In the posting, McClatchy said he believed Swinney "thought he would be excused for the violation and continue to his (radio) appointment." He also said Swinney and his brother, who was a passenger, were asked to have a seat in the vehicle but did not.

Swinney's brother, a retired Alabama police officer, according to the Pickens County Courier, asked that McClatchy take into consideration his more than 30 years of experience as a cop, McClatchy wrote on 247sports.com.

McClatchy added that after he gave Swinney a citation, the Clemson coach gave him "what I would call an unfriendly glare, shook his head and proceeded to enter Bi-lo."

The posting eventually was taken off the website, according to the Courier.

Gregory said both McClatchy and Swinney acted in a professional manner during the incident but that McClatchy was fired for violation of city computer policy, violation of code of ethics and violation of general orders.

McClatchy recently had been promoted, according to Gregory.

The police chief added that Swinney paid his citation and apologized for being involved in the situation.
