    It’s a thing it’s going to be reported. Not news one wants to hear but I’d rather hear it here than some other outlet . Don’t think they were racing it would have been different charges . The reckless driving charge is probably due to the speed over a certain posted limit which I believe is 20mph . I understand the here we go again mentality but let’s not suppress it with rainbows and unicorn reporting . What I do have questions about is the Mendoza interview yesterday and why it’s reported on multiple outlets but not here .

    I’ve been charged with speeding before Not that I’m proud of that. Happened if memory serves 1997 or 1998. I haven’t had a traffic violation since then. I could be Very wrong about this but I Think if your 40 or more mph over the posted speed limit it’s considered reckless driving. So for example if you’re doing 75 mph in a 35 mph zone it can be considered reckless driving. IF they are indeed guilty. Some After practice PT and some Community service should be sufficient for UGA. As they will Still have to pay the fines and Might even lose their licenses for a period of time. This was serious enough as it is but just glad it wasn’t something even More serious !! P.S. So what’s going on with Mendoza ??

    LOL, I resemble that remark. But full disclosure I will make a speeding exception when I am 3 minutes from a bathroom and need it now….

    Talking season for college football. Speeding tickets are big news at Georgia especially when law enforcement agencies issue nearly a quarter of a million speeding tickets each year. After all, these two tickets will represent 0.00077% of the tickets issued across the state.

    Having said that, come on UGA athletes. It’s time to wake up & realize when you guys screw up, it’s going to be national news. The NY Times carried this story!!! The rest of the country hates you guys & loves to see Georgia & its athletes get bad press. They follow you guys around waiting for this garbage!

    Just pointing out the obvious… It seems this type of thing begins every year around this time… But for your information… I haven't had a traffic citation since September 9, 1986… That's 39 years, 5 months and 11 days… So… Who's the hypocrite? That's what I thought… 😂

    Good comments and true. These players are under a microscope that the average young or old for that matter people, are not under.

    And just as you said rivals dearly love to see UGA get Any kind of bad press. It just goes with the territory of being a high profile athlete. And if your even a fourth string player at UGA you Are a high profile athlete as compared to many lower echelon schools.

    These young men are Expected live their lives at a high level of ethics on and off the field. So even the smallest troubles they might get into the dirt daubers are gonna try to make more out of it. Is what it is.

    David1: "DN will report this but nothing about the Lady Dawgs upsetting #5 Vandy or the men’s team beating Kentucky at rupp for the first time since 2009."

    ———————————

    And DN should report this, but ignoring the basketball programs is inexcusable—and a clear indication that this publication has less than zero credibility.

    Lolol....Kirby will certainly fill in that gap. No worries. I'm shocked at how low the "bonds" were. Must've been traveling 11 miles over the speed limit, in a speed trap.

    Wonder how many other people were charged during that general time frame....in that general area.

    Lol...good thing I don't live there....but, if I did, i wouldn't be driving around, with my head up my butt. Like some of these modern day geniuses. I don't live anywhere near the Clark County area...but, even I know better.

    Fyi....Camden County is a highly risky County to traverse, doing anything that can be picked up by asatellite.....[i.e.speeding, racing, erratic driving or smuggling]. Kingsbay Subase probaly has a lot to do with that. Lol

    Go get em Big Red. Learn!!! ....That's why you're there.....Sort of. Lol
