Disclaimer: until I hear this directly from Mark Richt or Zach Mettenberger or the bouncer at the bar, this is simply what I've been told from three separate sources. One is a former All-SEC player who is still up-close with the program, one is attached to the program and works with Coach Richt on a weekly basis during the season. The third source is simply the third source -- can't say much more without identifying him, but is someone I trust. Very solid, never been wrong. Having said that . . .

ZM being dismissed from the program is because of two things -- 1. There was much more to what happened that night than originally came out and 2. ZM lied to Coach Richt about it.

According to the sources, ZM was seriously intoxicated that night at the bar in Remerton. He was being very inappropriate with his language and then became inappropriate physically. One girl, in particular, works at the bar -- she wasn't on duty that night, but was there with friends and ZM was essentially trying to expose her in the bar in full view of others. The bouncer tossed ZM into the parking lot and that's when the altercation with the police began.

ZM has several friends at VSU that he's known from growing up together in Oconee. Several of these friends are all in the same sorority at VSU and the girl he was allegedly accosting is in that sorority.

ZM then gets back to Athens and lies to Richt about what happened. From what I have heard, ZM told Richt that he had put one hand on each of the girl's hips to move around her when he was trying to the bathroom and she was in the path he was taking between two tables in the bar. No one else backs up that story. Again, this is according to three sources that I trust.

VSU......thought that was a chance when I posted a few months ago that he would eventually transfer because he couldn't beat out AM. Now he wouldn't want to be caught dead in Valdosta.

wlayton, remember your post very well.

Brother, totally agree that he will end up in Valdosta or some place very similar. That is not denouncing VSU, it just makes sense that he has ties there and that will make the cross over easier. At this point, not kicking sand in his face, however in my family you can make one truly serious mistake . . . telling lies.

My hope for UGA is that Coach Richt continues this type of enforcement. There will always be a certain amount of problems in any program . . . . set the bar at a certain level and at that point it is up to the players and coaches to live up to the standards set.

Appears that ZM had a few too many and ended up with a Tiger in his tank.

Great last statement...

How in the world did he think he could get by with lies? Did he not think he would be exposed?....that the coaches are idiots?..... If those are the kind of decisions he makes, I sure don't want his \"decision making\" at QB \"Between the Hedges\".
