Damon Evans....IDIOT

From espn

Evans, who played wide receiver at Georgia from 1988-92, received a five-year contract extension in February that raised his annual salary to $550,000. His new salary was set to take effect on Thursday.


At the time the school's athletics board awarded Evans with a new contract, Adams told reporters: "He's already become a nationally recognized figure in athletics, and we are fortunate to have him. I think he's done an extraordinary job. ... And there's not been a whiff of impropriety during that six-year period. If you're the president of an institution, that means a whole lot."


A Georgia spokesman said the school was aware of reports of Evans' arrest and anticipated releasing a statement later Thursday

Well guess adams's got more than a whiff now

Well guys .......it gets WORSE.

My source said that the woman he was with was NOT his wife. (could be just "hear-say)


Hmmmmmmm

Not good guys, NOT GOOD! I was hoping the person with him would've been Adams. That way we would've had more reason to get rid of him.

This is NO GOOD at all!

I too have made mistakes (BIG mistakes) in my lifetime. Damon Evans is no different than me in that regard, he made a major mistake. Problem is:

A] He isn't exactly a spring chicken (no "young & dumb" excuses will be granted)

B] He makes more money in 6 months than I will make in the next 5 years (he can afford a cab, or a limo, or a private driver, or a nice hotel room nearby)

C] He's held to a higher standard due to his lofty position!

On the one hand, it is refreshing that this particular alcohol-related arrest didn't involve one of our football players (perhaps they are getting the message FINALLY) but on the other hand, I'm pretty darn certain that having our AD of all people get arrested for a DUI is even more embarrassing to the university as a whole! I'm sure DE feels awful about his lack of better judgment but feeling remorseful after the fact doesn't right the previous wrong.

This is NOT good for UGA

It'll be interesting to see how they "handle" this one

Do you think he'll be canned?

Yes it will be RabunDog & regarding your question about whether or not he will join the unemployment ranks I can only speculate:

My GUESS is that he will be reprimanded & forgiven unless some past incidents have occured during his tenure as AD that none of us are aware of. I guess the passenger's arrest (who they are & what they got arrested for) could also play a role in the final outcome.

Yo firedawg - this is a terrible thing to say but I can't stop - throw in some drugs - we could have had a 2fer - gotten rid of both of them

He should resign, I know we all make mistakes but when you are the A.D. at UGA part of your job is setting an example. You cant kick out all these players for alcohol related incidents and then expect to keep your job, or keep respect of the students, players and coaches. He must Go!!
