From Athens - "AQWIA"

So no one here has had a beer or 2 or a mixed drink at a restaurant and driven? EVER?????

I know OC I've been out with him before during football season he doesn't drink AT ALL. And from what I'm hearing he was barely over the legal limit and that is why he was in and out so fast last night.

But go ahead put me on blast I'm sure you all will.

stanger, most all of us have been there (fortunately I was never caught).......my main reference was towards him making that mistake before DRAFT DAY, not very smart.....cost him some bucks.

Obviously don't condone anyone drinking and driving either.....including myself when I did it in college....yes I was stupid then as well.

stanger, not sure why you would think that a blast is coming your way. It was not a very smart thing to do, and there is one thing for sure, Orson Charles is a very smart individual.

As we get older, we reflect, in our younger years made some of the same mistakes.

As for your last statement, maybe you should not be so sure as to how folks will act in a given situation. OC's life is not over, could be that this is one of the lessons learned the hard way that serve to make his adult life a time to stop, look and listen. There are life lessons that come the hard way, but make all of us better down the road. I said OUCH for a reason. That reason is because myself along with a lot of folks care about Orson Charles, not just those of you that have been close to him in Athens, many down my way know what an outstanding individual Orson Charles is.

Sorry sorry sorry very bad day at work and was'nt thinking clearly when I posted that. On another side note. Kinda heard a strange story from a guy I meet at the bank today. He brought something up to me that I've never heard ANYTHING about. And I never thought about it either.

BUT on game day has everyone ever noticed the Gwinnett police that are there and NOT the Athens Clark Co.? He's saying the reason your hearing of all the Dawgs getting arrested is because Clark County has it out for the Dawgs because the football program uses the Gwinnett Shef. department and not Athens Clark Co. And that's why in the past 3 years we've been dealing with a lot of problems and that most of the cases are'nt as bad as they seem.

Like I said I just heard this today. He says he's source banks with him and they have a suite together on game day. But it's the first I've heard of this and the first time I've ever seen or talked to this guy.

How can Gwinnett Co police have any jurisdiction over Athens? How could they arrest anybody at the games etc etc? So, why would UGA hire them? Guess I don't know much about law enforcement.

Just don't get caught!
