I'm not generalizing the entire Georgia football team, but there is something to be said about their star players recent actions. Even staff members recent actions. You cannot put the blame entirely on Kirby Smart. These are "grown ups" and not high schoolers. But, their recent actions do reflect their program and have serious complications.

What happened to the age ole adage, that kids will be kids? Does that only apply to COLUMBUS, OHIO? FIRST of all, most of these infractions were committed, however ill advised, by ADULTS! Did you not act the fool in high school and beyond? You sound JUST like the AJC. (Atlanta Urinal Constipation fish wrapper) which appears to have a specific agenda to trash UGA football. I even had a firsthand account of their underhandedness, while being interviewed as an apparent expert on SOWEGA prep football. All they are about is stretching the truth, and cherry-picking comments to fit their agenda, for the purpose of sensationalism. In a thirty minute phone interview. The reporter took nearly EVERYTHING I stated out of context, in an attempt to shed a bad light on one of the most fertile, per capita areas of the country, for top tier talent.

HELL, MOST of you boys can't even handle your own kids, much less trying to wetnurse EIGHTY-FIVE in the case of UGA Football. And don't forget the felony rape charges bestowed upon a prospective FIRST ROUNDER during the 2021 season. He was one of our premier pass rushers, gone after the Florida game in MIDSEASON. Why don't we address the common denominator for most of these lil tykes, the elephant in the room, as it were. Many of whom are from disadvantaged environments, attempting to sow their oats. And UGA only takes the creme de la creme, both athletically and with regards to character. What does THAT tell you about the kids in the REST of the programs in the NCAA, who attempt to BUY their talent? LOOKS as though they may just have more media and law enforcement looking the other way, in their particular areas.

And as an aside, to my knowledge, only ONE of these charges are considered more than misdemeanors. And that was issued in 2021. And his lil misadventures cost him tens of millions of future dollars in the NFL, and a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP ring.

Sure, but not to my knowledge did I get a team mate killed while drag racing. There's a fine line between "boys will be boys" and "boys will be men." Somewhere along the line the latter isn't being reinforced enough. I don't blame Kirby for what happened, nor should he be, but this still is a reflection of the program that should be addressed by Kirby. The spotlight always shines brighter on college football athletics, and especially if youv'e had the kind of success UGA has. Now comes the tough part, how to handle this spotlight appropriately.

SOOOO, you know for a FACT that Jalen was involved in drag racing? To my knowledge, he hasn't been charged with ANY felony. If what transpired WAS such. I would think that he would be currently incarcerated by the Clarke County Sheriff's Department. But HEY, let's not let FACTS get in the way of a good story.

If it is to be addressed, as you say. WHAT, EXACTLY, would you have he and the program do? With the exception of Master Stetson going bonkers in a drunken stupor in Dallas, this is a cultural thing, and always has been. Our coach at Colquitt use to wetnurse his lil tykes 24/7/365, EXCEPT during the GHSA mandated 'dead week'. He kept many of his players out of harm's way, by taking them out of violent environments, and even housing them on his own palatial estate. BUT during THAT week, no supervision, for whatever reason, is allowed. ANYWHO, during the Spring of 2015, our rising All American RB and a bunch of his bros. Felt behooved to break into a citizen of Norman Park home in Colquitt County, to borrow a quantity of rifles and handguns from this fellow's collection. And during the proceedings, the owner was subsequently shot in the leg, and bled out on the way to the hospital. And thus, the end of a promising career at the college and possibly pro level. Had they had proper supervision, chances are that this homeowner would still be alive. And the RB would have no doubt gone on to stardom on our 2015 National Championship team.

I ask you, was THIS ALSO a reflection upon the Colquitt County program?

Pretty sure that answer the question as to whether he was drag racing or not. Despite only be charged with a possible misdeamenor, Jalen will still have to live with fact that two people within the program lost their lives because of their cumulative actions. Could very well have been Jalen that tragically lost his life. Kirby's a smart guy, (not an oxymoron) he knows there are some things within his program, and he will address them.

Not sure if too many parents would view having their son stay at the coach's "palatial estate" without apprehension. I understand there is good intention, but living with your coach kind of crosses a lot boundaries.

If this NFL thing don't work out. They're practicing for NASCAR as an avocation! And if you diss ONE, you diss ALL. Because EVERYBODY at UGA is a STAR, or they wouldn't be there!

It is being reported that Jalen Carter came in 9 lbs over his combine weight and couldn't complete his pro day workout. Talk about a dude peeing away some $s....

Living with the coach until issues were addressed, (in his guest house) were the order of the day. And on occasion, the 'PARENT' WAS the issue. Other times, it was the local bros which the aforementioned parent couldn't control around their son.

At this writing, gang participation has become a real thing in Georgia. As I'm certain is the case throughout many parts of America. And it will continue to flourish, until the bull is taken by the horns, so to speak, and the issue is solved. And the avalanche of new participants coming across OUR Southern border, only exacerbates the issues, exponentially. In a sentence, many of these kids owe their freedoms and their futures, to the greatest coach in America. I ask you, how many coaches do YOU know, who would have taken a hands-on approach to these issues? I PERSONALLY, know not MANY!
