He wasnt denied or approved. They haven't done anything to his situation yet if Im not mistaken.
This post should have more likes than any other post in this thread. 100% accurate.
IF coach Smart said, sure I'll honor your request of immediate eligibility, Smart would have been obligated to ad the caveat, as long as you're not transferring to another SEC, because that violates SEC transfer rules. In Oct. did Reese already know he would transfer to Ole Miss or another SEC team? That seems to be missing or perhaps I didn't see it.
You understand that law applies to things other than cell phones right? You could get cited for that by messing with the radio or AC. Regardless, I was pointing out your hypocrisy of don't assume the cop's intentions while simultaneously assuming what Reese was cited for. You don't actually know you just assumed the worst.
Kirby's response.
Down voted & flagged for speaking the truth....hang tough bruh & keep preaching!
I don’t think the Georgia hands free law does apply to any of those things actually. The distracted driving law theoretically could, but the way it was written in the article led me to believe that it was a hands free violation since that was specifically mentioned. The fine lines up with the hands free statute too.
At any rate, sorry to Mr. Reese if I wrongly impugned his character with such a serious allegation of moral turpitude.
Sounds like Athens PD need to issue citations for racism. They can meet their quotas and the racists can keep their mouths shut. Two jerks one stone.
This whole thing is very sad.
I don't think he was DV'd for speaking truth. Everyone's perspective should be valued whether we agree or not. I think I most often see DVs on Dawgnation when people say things like, "Poor baby." I think any of us should expect to get DV'd regardless of what point we are trying to make if we use mocking language. I don't think that was PG's intent to mock, but my guess is this kind of dismissal through name calling is what triggered the DVs and not speaking truth. There is a difference. Personally, I welcome any truth PG has to share knowing that he and I have very different views and perspectives. And, I would say that all of our truth speaking is easier for those who disagree with us to relate to when we write more neutrally in tone while not diminishing the truth we are trying to speak and want to have heard.
I think Otis could show the NCAA this thread and he'd probably get his waiver. Yikes.
SAD!
Wait, Police have quotas?
Great comments! I see it as giving UGA and Athens an unneeded black eye...no pun, please! This reflects badly on UGA as an institution. Reese has been lawyerd-up and is attempting to gain immediate eligibility. Recruits see this stuff and could shy away from the seeming "trouble." Mays still lingers in the headlines as well. I am a UGA grad and never saw one day of racial slurring...others obviously have. I was affiliated with the team as well. Times change as do rules. The Athens police? Not one incident during my stint. New officers today...lots of pressures I never saw...culture very different. IMO. Coach Smart is handling it by SEC and NCAA rules. Not so much by emotion. His off-field MO but not his on-field..LOL. He gets excited.
I hope this passes soon. UGA has a very pro-player enviro. Pro family. Not the way Reese portrays it...or Cade Mays. GO DAWGS!!! Let's think FOOTBALL!!!
