Rules don’t concern nor apply to Georgia football
Want to measure the level of humiliation that the UGA football team is facing? Look no further than the lede paragraph on their student newspaper’s breaking news story on RedAndBlack.com:
“Another day, another suspension.”
It’s gotten that bad in Athens. Georgia coach Mark Richt has suspended six players from playing in the Aug 30 season-opener (as the No. 1-ranked team in preseason polls). Here’s your laundry list of Dawgs serving suspension time in the dawg pound:
(Note: UGA football being UGA football pictured to your right).
- Darius Dewberry: Seen on a hospital videotape overturning trash cans and causing other damage.
- Jeff Henson: Arrested and charged with public intoxication and urinating in public. (Also charged with a DUI last November; suspended for the Sugar Bowl.)
- Donavon Baldwin: DUI arrest in January, then suspended indefinitely after an unrelated incident at a bar.
- Fred Munzenmaier: Alcohol-related incident.
- Clint Boling: Reckless-driving charge.
- Michael Lemon: Charged with felony battery last month for allegedly punching a student and breaking his eye socket. Kicked off the team.
- (Unrelated, but still noteworthy) UGA VI (mascot): Dead.
Fellow UGA teammates Donovan Baldwin and Marcus Dowtin are now being treated for injuries suffered in a bar fight earlier Sunday morning.
Should be a fun banquet at the end of the season!
