“Well, that escalated quickly...”
-Ron Burgandy
S t u p i d things...
I stole a couch from a sorority at 4am with a good friend and cops tried to arrest me...
We put a tarp In my friends truck and filled it up with water. We had a mix of guys and coeds riding in the back with a freshman as a “lifeguard “ ... that policeman thought it was hilarious...
But nobody’s life was in danger... to me, that’s where “boys will be boys” gets very negligent.
au contraire mon frère. It is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to ride in the back of a truck. If you would have been in an accident, everyone in the back of the truck could have been hurt.
Also, that sorority girl that sleeping on that couch could have been hurt if she had fallen off while you were carrying her.
I don’t want to start an unnecessary thread, so this is completely random post. I am rewatching the SECCG, and am reminded: 1. officiating was horrible, 2. Gary Danielson is horrible, and 3. our lady fans are the prettiest in the land. Sorry for digressing.
Charging two for simple possession when one tells them it is his is asinine, In this day and age you can be charged with anything it is what you are convicted of that matters. Believe me I know that full well. The bad part is the charges are put out publicly but when it is overturned are dismissed you never hear a word about it
Yes I do, and no I dont.... if we go out, either myself or my wife becomes DD... know what that is?
I have no problem with them smoking marijuana. If they want to do it in their room or at someone's house, that's fine. But u get behind the wheel and I believe you belong in jail.
But to your original post about mistakes. Mistakes are accidents, no one makes a mistake on purpose. DUI isn't a mistake, it's a choice. Do you think they accidently smoke marijuana, or they accidently started driving?
You can stop waiting now!!!!!!!
Just really wish UGA would change THIS policy .
BAMA kids are found in the ACT, stolen handguns in their possession etc but gets let off and misses NO TIME from the field
UTenn’s players smoke on campus, get caught and are asked to politely turn themselves in WEEKS after the incident happens
UF’s PLAYERS. . . . Not even worth working my thumb out that much tonight
OKLAHOMA PLAYERS ARE 1 BEING ACCUSED OF RAPE, yet free to play in this amazingly national televised upcoming game w/ no punishment 2) beating up WOMEN at bars and allowed to remain apart of the program
Natrez (Chauncey Rivers for that matter) smokes a joint by him lonesome OR enjoys a car ride w/ a buddy/teammate/BROTHER from the same city (Atlanta) and ppl act like he should be exiled and never to return.(never had a violent act or disrespectful outburst such as grabbing his N U T S or shooing the bird to opposing fans)
UGA policy’s ONLY shoot ourselves in the foot.

I thought DD was Drunk Driver

Said it before and all about having a good time, but I politely disagree with you on the policy. Make no bones about I want to win more than Kirby's wallet, but I am proud we do things differently than some. Couldn't help but think "trash" while reading your statements about the others schools. We are better than that.
Kids/adults make mistakes and some (not all) are quick to forgive. However, people aren't as quick to forgive when its the 4th time Patrick has been either involved or around the same thing that requires forgiveness. Also the timing of the arrest really doesn't help his rep either.
Added the Under Age because I know lots of teenagers who drink illegally and never drive. My daughter included. Uber is a wonderful thing when teaching our youth to drink responsibly before they head off to college. Yes, I am on the side that the drinking age should still be 18 or 19 to allow youth to learn the social aspects of drinking responsibly while living under their parents roof. Coincidence that the use of drugs Exploded after the bench mark years of 1985-1990 when the age was pushed to 21 nationally? Do the research.
Not excusing it; just somewhat sympathetic , KNOW we’re only hurting ourselves with these policy’s, honestly think im just looking at it from a younger adults perspective and someone who just graduated college w/ a bachelors of science in Criminal Justice
Bama/O$U players (won ALOT more than UGA over the past few years) have come out on the record at NFL combines stating they’ve failed multiple drug test that mainstream media has never reported and we hold those kids on pedistols , but if our administration kept things in house like many of these other schools we would not be having this conversation.
I think with marijuana being decriminalized in many areas of the country, with it being a NON-jailable offense in Atlanta and many other places why are we holding on to these 20-30 year old policy’s when we don’t even have State laws that havent been in place as long/have been revised #TimesChange #ThingsChange
Everyone else laughs at us , then sweeps their dirt under the rug and handle things internally.
Just wish the best for a FRIEND guys lol (Natrez)
It’s ALL #GoDawgs
i think it is safe to say that there are many people who have never driven under the influence. i have had a couple drinks, but always under the limit. that goes all the way back to high school. but, i don't think I'm special for saying that. most of my friends from church could say the same thing. there are some errors you can make life in like getting angry or doing something mean you regret, but driving under the influence means one is ok killing someone else even in negligence. i think whay made that so clear and helped me not dui was a girl in my high school who got in an accident while dui and suffered brain damage. she came back to school a year later but it was more to be there because she couldn't process anything beyond about 2nd grade level stuff. it was a daily reminder to all of us unfortunately.
Actually, you just proved my point. You admit to having a couple of drinks and then driving. Once you drink alcohol and then drive, you are under the influence of alcohol. While you may be under the legal limit, study after study shows that any amount of alcohol delays your reaction time. While you think that you are fine to drive or under the legal limit, your reaction time is delayed.
I hear you Joe. Times do change. Is it the policy or the actions that is hurting us? Pot, policy, or DUI that hurt the team? I argue action and selfish action at that. Not the 3 offense policy that covers a wide range of things. Not pot, I’m sure they aren’t the only ones smoking just are to open about it. It’s the actions. Set the DUI aside. They have been asked not to do something and yet they still do it and even act careless about it. Consequences for actions is something I am working on with my 3 year old daughter. Multiple teaching moments with her lately. Shouldn’t be the same with adults.
Pot will eventually be considered normal and on the same level as alcohol, but items such as DUI, unlawful carry of weapons, hitting chicks, will never be swept under the rug at UGA.
Oh and wish nothing but the best for the two of them.
He didn't prove anything. It has been shown on numerous studies that a person can drink a certain amount and not be under the influence to the point that it affects/impairs their ability to drive (thus the reason that there are limits). You are trying to split hairs to prop up your pointless argument.
