2. How DO you fix this problem??? Just how DO you control this many players??? I guess you recruit Wake Forest's recruiting list....."catch-22"??
3. Many schools have these type problems.....geez, UF had a player shoot an AK47 through his apt wall, fortunately he didn't kill somebody...FSU, USC,UM...the list goes on
4. #1. above will do the right thing......

Maybe there isn't a simple answer for PREVENTION. But I think there could be a CURE. At least I would give it a try. First offense:

1. No housing off campus. You live in McWhorter Hall. If it doesn't have enough rooms, we either build another dorm or have some approved housing accommodations.

2. Create a PERMANENT curfew. 9, 10,11, whatever is reasonable. Anyone out after lights out is off the team.

3. Get arrested - off the team.

4. Drug testing is every week. Positive test, off the team.

5. Hit a girl, or anyone else not wearing a football uniform at the time. Off the team.

Basically, on the first offense, your life at UGA becomes very "military". Then see how many people want to smoke grass.

If THAT rule limits recruiting, then who were we recruiting in the first place?

Man what a day for Georgia Football! I'm glad that I'm a believer in the old addages that for everything there is a purpose, every cloud has a Silver lining, and this too shall pass. It makes it easier to deal with knowing that something good will come of all this. I just find that I'm impatient and want whatever it is now, patience is not one of my virtues. Will the man coaching the coaches, Coach 'em up!

He had turned the corner and was heading in the right direction. His attitude toward UGA football had improved and he actually was taking a leadership role on the team.

We all applauded his actions. We gloated over young Mr. Crowell. We looked anxiously toward the forthcoming season. Our featured running back had returned like the prodigal son. We anointed him #1 RB. Our future was the brightest it has been in some time.

Dateline: Athens, GA ; June 29, 2012. Isaiah Crowell Arrested on Gun Charges.

Well, Mr. Corwell, you have blown it. Coach Richt - No More Mr Nice Guy. I read on another board where others are saying we don't need another preacher in Athens, we need a football coach. Act like one and get rid of this thug before he ruins your - I mean OUR football team.

TN Dawg, this post comes the closest to me when I look over the board. Like you, I was drinking the kool aid (maybe not you) coming from IC and the "media" that wants "us" to "believe". Your comment about "Mr. Crowell, you have blown it" is all I need to hear.

Have scanned a lot of boards on this issue of IC, most are tired of what is going on in Athens. By that I mean, coaches have to decide what their "roles" are.

Have to say this . . . . . how long does it take the powers in Athens to figure out what needs to be done for the GOLDEN GOOSE. That would be FOOTBALL.

Question: Why is it that schools can cross our borders and and take the best players away?

There are reasons. May I suggest one? Exactly what started this thread. Come on with other schools and their problems, but if you do that, just give one explanation as to why we have to be a part of that. Will we continue on this path? It has been this way for more than the current problem, goes back years . . . . I have history . . . . thinking most would agree with that, if produced.

Maybe if I could put a "vote" tab up, we could settle where this board is.


Keep IC . . . Yes

Move on . . . Yes

No vote . . . Yes

Personally I'm sick of hearing his name

My vote: Move on, and do it this afternoon.

Yep..

I'm sick of hearing his name. I want to move on and forget he ever existed.

That's the last I have to say about this episode.
