I haven't seen anyone here deflecting or making excuses. They'll pay a fine, get some points, or whatever the system does these days. They may well receive some internal discipline too, probably something like public service or early morning stadium runs.

wasn't Stetson Bennett granted his last year because he'd spent a year in JUCO? Not by a judge, but by the NCAA? It's been my understanding that JUCO doesn't count toward your NCAA eligibility years.

Stetson redshirted in 2017. Got an extra year because 2020 didn't count against eligibility for anyone.

So you support violating the constitution whenever a president deems it’s an “emergency”?

Sorry, but I no longer pay any attention to idiots lecturing about the Constitution. The US judiciary, including multiple justices sitting on the USSC, ignore the Constitution whenever it suits their purposes. So do the politicians. This is an emergency and if the fools steering the country can't see that, then the Constitution doesn't matter because its era is coming to a rapid end.

That's just clinically delusional to think that beat writers at Alabama or Florida or whatever program cover it up when players in those programs getting arrested for traffic shite, and the information never gets out, which just makes it seem like Georgia football has more traffic-related arrests. Might as well put on a tin foil hat and move back in to your mom's basement and buy a carton of Pop Tarts.

Are you drinking right now, or just can't read what I wrote? Is misrepresenting the debate just your schtick? I said that reporters cover up things every day. I didn't say they "cover up arrests", because that's on the public record, correct? They may not write a headline about every citation for a moving violation , which is what some UGA football reporters have done. Most places they don't turn their football coverage into a vendetta, which some UGA beat writers and reporters have done in recent years.

What "journalists" do cover up is things that aren't in the official govt public record. In the case of sports beat writers, in some places they continuously cover for football players who drive around town at high speeds but don't get arrested, who receive warnings, or a ride home at 2am when they're high. They cover for players who drive like fools, talk shite to the officers and walk away with a citation when the charges could've been much worse. Sometimes they cover for players who commit serious crimes and go uncharged, if the victims cooperate. Local law enforcement can only operate that way with the understanding that the relevant media organizations are friendly and won't make a fuss. It happens everywhere, but less for UGA football players than in some other SEC college towns. Draw a circle around Athens with a radius of 350 miles and you'll find several of those.

I hate to hear that. He used to post occasionally on one of the UGA message boards and seemed like a good guy.

If you really think that... players at other school are getting arrested all the time but we never hear about it because their beat writers never report it, we will just have to agree to disagree.

---

Saying I disagree is a worthless statement. Tell us what you do agree with. Go ahead and give us your logical reason for why UGA football players with fast cars seem to make the news more than players at other schools that recruit the same athletes from the same places and the same backgrounds and the same means to afford fast cars.

When you've identified something that distinguishes UGA from those other places, other than law enforcement or media coverage, we may be getting close to a solution for an age old problem. I'll write it down and send a letter to Kirby.

It's an "ongoing problem", with young males. Especially the ones who own fast cars. They've been driving recklessly since fast cars became available. It's not a "UGA" problem though. They broke the law, they're being punished for it by the legal system with no favoritism. That's how it should work everywhere.

Similar cadence. I know Not Fade Away was a huge song for multiple artists, but I like Cuban Slide better. I just prefer guitar techniques and styles and tones (and signal modulation) from the later era. And the percussion got lot more interesting. About the mid 60's is the inflection point for me.

A really good cover of the Cuban Slide. I saw the Pretenders play this live many years ago, about 30 feet from the stage. Maybe the Warfield Theatre, not sure now. These kids do it as well as the Original.
