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.
