Found a photo of the device. Take a ride in this and you tend to buckle the seat belt later.

thriller, noticing the ages of those on the sidelines watching and participating in the training class.

TN Dawg, your post is spot on. Well put.

Time for some of these highly paid football coaches to stop looking past correctible mistakes with a smile and nudge. As you say, laws are made to be enforced whether we agree with them or not.

I am on John Atkins side, he is a UGA student, as well as a football player. Here is hoping that some of that gray matter works as well for him behind the wheel as it does on the football field.

Buc still having some problems with JHC and his approach to rules and regulations. Lots of talent headed to Athens such as Brendan Langley. Realize it takes time to learn the "system". Appears to me that it is possible, thinking along the lines of Tray Matthews and his efforts thus far. JHC appears to be walking a fine line, my opinion. Not the first time he has made a mistake that comes close to playing the role of BMOC. Young fellow that JHC was hanging with seemed off course from the beginning. Like I said, just my opinion. As Grantham has said "too often" with his defensive players stepping out of line . . . . next man up. I agree.

Buc, I haven't found anyone yet who understands what JHC could POSSIBLY have been thinking when he took a hit on that reefer. Obviously he wasn't thinking at all . . . kids rarely do . . . but c'mon - you've got MILLION$ of reasons not to light up.

Nobody is ever going to convince me pot isn't addictive. I hear it all the time, "I can quit anytime I want to, I just don't want to". Tell it to someone who actually believes that lame excuse.

Put an NFL sized contract in front of my face, and I'll give up LOTS of substances. I can't understand the thought processes of anyone who actually has the potential to have one of those contract$ laid out in front of him to sign and still lights up. My opinion is that they have gotten themselves addicted and just can't quit hitting the bong. At least THAT motivation makes sense - lack of thinking - lack of maturity, even in a kid like that, just doesn't make any sense to me. I think it has to be an addiction.

I'm still trying to figure out what something that happened 12 years ago has to do with todays world. We could go back even further in that case where there were no seatbelts and I was running around in the back seat like a spoiled brat. Thank God somebody was thinking about how to save lives and not how unfair it was/is to uphold a meaningful law and went even further to include child seats.

The sun shines on a different Dawg every day

Chief, looked at his numbers . . . . Appears that the author of the particular post being discussed is 29 years of age. What is there to say about that . . . . C'mon Man . . . . Sounds a lot like the "dude" that controls the AJC Recruiting Section. Takes some longer than others. There will always be those that "spout" answers, they however do not understand "solutions". Read that somewhere. :)

thriller, some things I can understand. There is however a time and place for anything that we do on "our time". JHC has forgotten one simple fact of life . . . . when he signed on to play football at UGA, he knew that some changes in his lifestyle had to or should change.

More and more I come to the conclusion that JHC is in his way of thinking . . . . the BMOC. Body grew, talent grew with college coaching, one thing missing . . . . GRAY/GREY MATTER.

Grantham said for all of us to see . . . . JHC will be one of the eleven (11) when the season starts. (Will play somewhere). Grantham missed on that one. JHC thinks he is above the fray, soon to find out that there are others that play football, and play it well. Will watch this turn of events closely.

Still have too many memories of IC leading "us" down the path. Anyone remember the "cold shoulder" that IC gave Mark Richt? Did it for the entire nation to see. Wonder why the shadows are cast on UGA, and Spurrier speak? I sure as heck do. What is different here? Maybe he should have played for Florida as some in his family wanted him to do. Perfect candidate for Urban Meyer and his "special list". I call BS on JHC.
