UM’s Graham Glasgow puts his life in Grandma’s hands

quote:

The roots of this living arrangement lie in the off-field trouble that Glasgow, a fifth-year senior starting center, had become entwined. He was arrested on March 15, 2014 for drunken driving and three months later pleaded to a misdemeanor driving while visibly impaired. A year to the date of the initial arrest, a random test revealed he had violated probation by drinking. Probation was extended six months.

“It was around St. Pattie’s weekend,” Glasgow said. “I just made a bad decision again.”


quote:

“(Harbaugh) brought me in the office and that’s when I understood the severity and thought, ‘Uh-oh, something bad could happen,’ ” Glasgow said. “I’m happy things worked out the way they did. Instead of just giving me a whole bunch of punishment, he took a different approach than Coach Hoke would have. There would have been punishment and he would have threatened status.


quote:

Harbaugh phoned Glasgow’s father, Steve, and they discussed options. The first plan was to have Glasgow move back into the dorms, but a fifth-year senior moving into South Quad with freshmen didn’t seem like the right solution.

Enter a 5-foot-1 1/2 grandmother, called “the little Italian” in some circles.

Only a man with Aspergers would come up with that as the best solution.

Honestly, after reading the article, it sounds like it wasn't as terrible of a situation for the guy as I would have imagined.

Yeah, if you were at a school with any sense of discipline you'd have been kicked off the team.

Unless if you're good.
When you're the starter at a contender you get a team vote.

When I read the title I envisioned the center moving in with Harbaugh's grandmother. That would've been better.

How could living with one's grandmother be improper?

UGA fan saying this, really? Most schools won't kick a guy off for failing a drug test, who the hell would kick a guy off for failing an alcohol test?

Obviously someone with no idea about UGA. They have some of the tightest discipline in the SEC.

yeah, really. I think I'm a little more in tune with our program than you. We have kicked people out of school for a first time DUI, as well as an event as minor as grabbing someone's wrist in class to take back a pencil.

So yeah, schools with a sense of discipline when faced with a dude not only getting a DUI but then drinking again while on probation would get in more trouble than staying with granny. If not kicked off then at least gotten a hell of a lot more punishment than this guy did.
