THIS HAS TO BE AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE!!
If Adams is STUPID enough to do that.....there would be a lynch mob after him! And I can say that I would be right in the middle of it! What Adams needs to realize is that UGA is NOT about him, UGA IS ABOUT TRADITION! And UGA is at the TOP of out tradition food chain.
DOWN WITH ADAMS!!
I think we need to start a petetion to oust Adams! What he doesn't realize is that with him being a state employee...... HE WORKS FOR US!
fire_dawg, I was away from the computer for a while, came back with the thought in my head about April 1. Went back and checked David Hale's site just to be sure that this was not a joke. Nothing has changed on his site about this.
Interesting that you mentioned April 1.
If this turns out to be a joke . . . . the joke is not on us, it will be on someone that could jepordize a rising sports journalism career. Cannot believe that David would joke in this manner.
Below are a few paragraphs concerning Adams and his use of some UGA monies.
Rich Whitt builds a case in \"Behind the Hedges\" that Adams is a mediocre fundraiser, has made bad decisions that cost UGA millions of dollars and has used money donated to the university for questionable expenditures such as a $9,000 party for his son's law school graduation.
Adams and UGA officials dismissed the book as a rehash of yesterday's news - the epic struggle of the UGA Foundation's Board of Trustees to get Adams fired in 2003 and 2004.
The foundation's board manages about half a billion dollars for the benefit of UGA academic programs.
\"The book retells one side of an old story that is long since resolved. The university has moved on,\" said Tom Jackson, UGA vice president for public affairs.
So now Adams is going to stop tailgating, wonder how much that will affect fund raising at UGA. Tailgating not being enough, trying to cap that with a 10th Street, PETA intrusion into OUR AFFAIRS. Adams is a sick PUPPY, but not of the UGA type.
