Ogletree . . . What!!!

Tucker at the AJC has an article on AO and the coaches. Suspended for one game apparently. Not going to say a lot about the suspension or length of the suspension.

Recently UGA was again . . . not the first time . . . named "#1 Party School". If we stop and take a look at that kind of garbage coming to these young folks from the television media, looks to be a long, slippery slope to me. Almost encouraging the young folks to head to Athens. Just how I feel.

There are a lot of folks that have been and will be in the stadium tomorrow that have been there for 40, 50, 60 years and more. I think about the longevity of the folks that love UGA and its football team, and it really bothers me that the same people that cheer for these players basically get garbage thrown in their faces.

Like I said earlier, don't beat me up too bad, but . . . . . Professional players are fined thousands of dollars and it does not seem to make a difference in the final outcome as to how they will play or act. Haynesworth, Ocho Cinco and others. Pockets full of money and not a damn bit of respect for the game or the public that puts those millions in their pockets.

I feel the same way about some of these 1 game suspensions in college . . . does anyone think that really gets the players attention . . . . they do some other things like run laps, stadium steps, etc. Guess the only way to judge that is down the road a ways.

Heard on the news a few minutes ago that Masoli will be the quarterback at Ole Miss this year. NCAA lost that case. One of not too many times that I was on the side of the NCAA and some its rulings.

All of us on this board will never agree on everything, feel its does not hurt to type what you think and let the chips fall where they will.

Hope that we play a lot of folks tomorrow, also hope that everyone that is able to attend the game has a great Saturday in Athens. Special place, special people.

Go Dawgs! Silver Britches also . . .

I feel sorry for CMR, I truly believe he sets probably the best example these young men have ever seen on how to be a man and live your life. The problem today is these college kids are already set in there ways from how they have been raised before they got to UGA. And it takes time to change them from bad habits, if you can at all by this age. ZM is gone, and I believe CMR is doing the best he can. Iam one who is proud to say he is our coach. GO DAWGSSSSSS!!!!!!!

1. This case seems a bit odd.

2. Who is from Newnan? Goose? What year did you graduate?

3. Buc the NCAA had to let Masoli play because they had let others play under the exact same scenario.

kentdaddy, did not know why Masoli got through the cracks, but he did. If anyone would have a answer on that it would be you.

Personally, still don't like it. kentdaddy, all about the money . . . I think. Pros, college and high school alike.

Kind of lost track . . . . did you find a piece of property in the mountains or still looking?

The NCAA rules say if a player has already graduated he can go to another school to pursue an advanced degree and play immediately if he still has eligibility left.

There was already established case rulings on things like this. Of course Masoli is full of poop about wanting a Masters from Ole Miss in Natchez Trace road paving or whatever he is taking, but the NCAA was not going to win singling him out.

Here is a snippet from ESPN:

Ole Miss quarterback Jeremiah Masoli, after initially being ruled ineligible to play this season by the NCAA, had that decision overturned Friday by an appeals committee.

The skeptics will say he beat the system, and maybe he did. But the way the NCAA bylaws read, he has as much right as anybody to transfer to another school after receiving his undergraduate degree, enroll in a graduate program and be eligible to play right away.

He was never dismissed from the University of Oregon. He graduated from Oregon. He was dismissed from the football team. But the NCAA bylaws expressly state that being dismissed or disqualified from an institution is what requires a player to establish residency for a year before being eligible to play.

Being kicked out of school and being kicked off the team are two different things.

It doesn’t matter that Masoli might have violated the spirit of what the NCAA was trying to establish with this whole graduate school transfer rule.


And of course I do not like the money aspect any more than you do.
