Georgia AD Greg McGarity 'angry' about cancellation, fears Vanderbilt won't make up game
Georgia AD Greg McGarity has seen enough to share his feelings about other programs who aren't disciplined enough or don't care enough to maintain protocol

Damnit Vandy
Well, there's nothing really to do about it but cross your fingers and hope both Mizzou and Vandy get played....but at least the situation in the SEC isn't as bad as the lack of games in the B1G. Will Ohio State even make the playoffs or could Texas A&M slip in?
What a complete and utter embarrassment Vandy is for our conference... They are a joke when it comes to competitive college athletics minus a few good seasons of baseball and a few sports sprinkled in.
The SEC office should send the lost revenue over to UGA if this game is not played on the 19th and I'm betting this game never happens
Vandy is a top flight education school but so is UGA and there is no reason for this game to be cancelled at the last minute without a good reason other than we can't field a dam team.... Vandy is the black eye on the best conference in America!!!
I bet their lady kicker was ready to go because she is probably tougher than her teammates.
Don't you just get the feeling this "game" will never get played? I feel very badly for our seniors. Maybe, by Dec. 19, Richard LeCounte will be well enough to participate, if it is played?
So the truth comes out about a girl trotting out and dribbling a “perfect” squib kick that would have gone out of bounds. Vandy wanted the press regardless of the players wishes (there has to be at least a dozen Vandy players that could have produced the same results) and now the Dawg’s seniors lose their opportunity for Senior Day recognition because of a threatened player revolt. Thanks Vandy, but what else should we expect when the SEC allows a member to share in the millions of dollars of football revenue although their football program is run as an intramural sport.
Maybe they could tell the players who revolted that the young lady isn't going to travel with them. then they could field a team? ANy chance?
Hopefully uga will do something for the seniors so they can have there day. And I really hope this is finally the thing keep kirby i the butt and start running the scores up instead all this respect crap
Vandy needs to be in the ACC, Big10, Independent or Group 5 bunch. No concentration on football at all, doesn't match up with SEC credentials. Their football can't compete just look at the history of it it's embarrassing to the SEC - who ever let them in in the first place???
Have a g day game
So, Vandy cancels on Friday, but it's because of covid. Wow!
It would be better if the acting coach just came out and said, we don't have out heart in it as a team. Making bogus excuses almost makes it worse.
"reports surfaced players were threatening not to play on account of Vanderbilt utilizing a female as its kicker against the Tigers."
It wasn't just that they played a female. It was also because she was allowed/encouraged/egged on to address the team a halftime. She didn't earn it. She wasn't there lifting weights, running, or sweating in the summer with the team. Vandy turned the hard work of those players into an ESPN inspired publicity stunt. They have every right to be mad.
I have a good idea...If Ohio State can't get in enough games then lets bring them to Athens to play....Now I know this will never happen in a million years but would it be great if they could create games like this in a few days time,,,,didn't BYU and Coastal Carolina do it?
"...the academically-oriented SEC school..." First, I should hope that every SEC school is "academically-oriented" and recognizes that football and all athletics are only a part of the academic mission of the institutions. Second, it seems to be written as if to claim the high academic standards of Vanderbilt are a reason why it couldn't/wouldn't send the team to Athens. Everybody is dealing with this thing, let's have a little empathy for others' challenges; after all, it might be us cancelling the next week. I'm disappointed the Dawgs aren't playing tomorrow also, but blaming it on Vanderbilt's academics? Come on, we're better than that!
