If any team knows about suspensions, it's UGA for sure.....

Aug 28, 2015, 7:43 AM

Before you come here talking smack about Bryant's suspension, don't forget where Odell Thurman is from...

Thurman was suspended by the National Football League for the first four games of the 2006 regular season for violating the league's substance abuse policy. According to sources, Thurman did not return to Cincinnati in time and failed to take the test.

On September 27, 2006, the NFL extended Thurman's suspension for the remainder of the season as a result of the arrest for drunk driving.[3] Thurman's locker was emptied by the Bengals organization. Coach Marvin Lewis said he did not want to see Odell Thurman anywhere near the stadium.

On June 5, ESPN reported that he was wanted for assault in Georgia, for alleged kicking and hitting two men.

On July 25, 2007, Thurman's request for re-instatement into the NFL was denied by commissioner Roger Goodell, so he was not able to play in 2007.[8]

On July 12, 2008, Thurman was indicted by a grand jury for breaking another man's jaw at a Waterpark in Sandusky, Ohio.

On June 2, 2008, Sports Illustrated reported Thurman, recently cut by the Bengals again, had failed his second drug test in three seasons.[13] Four days later, ESPN reported Thurman had been suspended by the NFL indefinitely.

And don't pretend like suspensions aren't part of the culture in Athens, especially after the 2014 and 2013 seasons were filled with suspensions and 2015 ain't over yet.

August 23, 2015- Georgia grad assistant Courtney Coard arrested for DUI. The report indicates that the arresting officer smelled alcohol on Coard, and noted that Coard’s “eyes were blood shot red and watery.” Coard performed poorly on a series of roadside sobriety tests, and at one point, when receiving instructions on performing a test of his balance, Coard “had to use a building he was standing next to to prevent himself from falling,” according to the report.

August 16, 2015- Georgia basketball player J.J. Frazier was arrested overnight on two misdemeanor traffic charges, including driving on a suspended license. Frazier, a junior, was also charged with improper driving and booked into jail at 3:03 a.m. and released 35 minutes later, according to the Athens-Clarke County jail log. Bond was set at $2,000 collectively for the two charges.

January 8, 2015- Tim Jennings- Pulled over for driving 99 mph in a 65 mph zone on Interstate 85 in Georgia on Wednesday, Bears cornerback and former UGA player Tim Jennings told a Gwinnett County police officer he was rushing to get to a parent-teacher conference for which he was late. Yet when confronted about the smell of alcohol on his breath, Jennings was adamant he wasn't drunk while refusing a full field sobriety test.

When the officer requested to use an Alco-Sensor to detect whether alcohol was present on Jennings' breath, Jennings said, “I am not blowing into that #### thing, sir.” Jennings also refused “the nine-step walk and the one-leg stand” sobriety tests, according to the report. Jennings eventually was handcuffed and taken to the Gwinnett County Detention Center, where he was held for about three hours before being released on bond.

December 2014- Isaiah McKenzie, who had three touchdown returns this season, will miss the bowl for discipline reasons.

July 22, 2014- Jonathan Taylor, a Georgia sophomore defensive lineman, was arrested early Tuesday morning on a felony charge of aggravated assault and domestic battery. The arrest stemmed from an incident between Taylor and his girlfriend at a dorm hall, with police saying they found "visible marks" on the girlfriend's neck.

This is the second arrest this year for Taylor, who was one of the four players charged in the check-cashing story back in March. Taylor accepted pre-trial intervention in that case, as did the other three charged players. Taylor was only facing "internal discipline" and no suspension for that case.

June 3, 2014- The short but tumultuous Georgia football career of Tray Matthews has come to an end, according to the player himself. In March Matthews was one of four players on charges related to double-dipping scholarship checks.
February 18, 2014

Georgia announced Tuesday that [Josh] Harvey-Clemons -- the team's third-leading tackler as a sophomore in 2013 and a former five-star recruit -- has been dismissed from the team for a violation of team rules.

May 13- Uriah LeMay, a redshirt freshman wide receiver from Charlotte, N.C., informed UGA on Tuesday of his intent to seek a transfer. That request was granted, and LeMay will leave Athens without ever having played for the Bulldogs. [...] LeMay leaves Athens with a legal matter pending. He was one of the four players charged with theft by deception.

March 18, 2014- Safety Tray Matthews was among four Georgia players that were arrested Monday evening and charged with multiple counts of theft by deception. Matthews was booked into the Clarke County Jail just after 9 p.m. on Monday and charged with three misdemeanor accounts.

Others arrested included wide receiver Uriah LeMay along with defensive lineman Jonathan Taylor and James DeLoach. All four players bonded out late Monday night and there has been no comment from school officials as of yet.

December 23, 2013- Georgia suspended cornerback Sheldon Dawson and safety Josh Harvey-Clemons from the Gator Bowl for an unspecified violation of team rules. This is the second time this season that Harvey-Clemons has been suspended -- he sat out the Bulldogs' season opener against Clemson because of an incident involving marijuana.

November 1, 2013- Georgia wide receiver Justin Scott-Wesley, who is out for the year due to a torn ACL, was arrested on marijuana-related charges Thursday afternoon, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He was released after posting $4,000 in bond three hours later.

August 31, 2013- Georgia kicker Marshall Morgan's suspension for an offseason arrest will carry through Saturday's South Carolina game, Bulldogs coach Mark Richt confirmed on his Monday night call-in radio show.

May 28, 2013- The Georgia Bulldogs will be without starting safety Josh Harvey-Clemons for their season opener against the Clemson Tigers. Harvey-Clemons and tight end Ty Flournoy-Smith were involved in an incident in which campus police found marijuana paraphernalia and signs of marijuana use in their dorm room. Flournoy-Smith is no longer with the football program, and will likely transfer.

February 24, 2013- Georgia tight end Ty Flournoy-Smith is free on bond after being arrested on a misdemeanor charge accusing him of lying about the theft of his textbooks.

And don't forget where Nick Marshall (theft), Zach Mettenberger (sexual battery) , Isaiah Crowell (weapons charges), and others all started their football careers.... No wonder they call it ThUGA.

This is how they get down in Georgia... April 15- Ga. mom arrested on mulitiple charges after playing "naked Twister" with daughter and friends at a party she hosted. She is also accused of having sex with two of them- one was her daughter's boyfriend. “Ms. Lenhardt told her she was asleep in her bed and woke up around 3:30 when she felt someone having sex with her. She stated at first she thought it was the 18-year-old from earlier but then realized it was the 16-year-old, who was in fact her daughter’s boyfriend,” the report said.

So which schools had the most arrests over the past five years? Well, he broke that down as well. And there's a surprise leader.
1. Washington State 31
Holy hell, this is what happens when you're a team that gets no attention and you're located in the middle of nowhere. Is Washington State a football team or a criminal syndicate?
2. Florida 24
Interestingly, if you combine Florida and Ohio State's arrests, Urban Meyer would be number one on this list.
3. Georgia 22
Totally where I would expect to see Georgia, the Bulldogs can't even get the most arrests in the SEC, they Georgia'd it.
3. Texas A&M 22
Fun fact, the only place that carries the Longhorn Network in College Station? Jail.
5. Oklahoma 21
Gotta give it to Bob Stoops, he finished behind three SEC teams even on this list.
6. Iowa State 20
Don't judge. If you lived in Ames, Iowa you'd get arrested too. Jail is actually the most fun attraction within 100 miles.
6. Missouri 20
Lots of people questioned whether Mizzou belonged in the SEC. Leave aside the back-to-back SEC east titles, this arrest record is prima facie evidence that they're in the right conference.
6. Ole Miss 20
Hugh Freeze is going to take these boys straight to church. (Where they will then abscond with the offering plates).
6. West Virginia 20
I'm convinced Morgantown, West Virginia is like Deadwood. Every morning they feed the dead bodies to the hogs.
10. Florida State 19
Imagine what FSU's arrest rate would be if Tallahassee police actually arrested football players.
10. Tennessee 19
The Vols are back, baby. (This also means six of the top ten most arrested teams in the country are from the SEC).
12. Alabama 18
In 2011 I met a sheriff at the Alabama-LSU game in Tuscaloosa. He had a national championship ring that Saban gave him. No joke.
12. Iowa 18
Iowa and Iowa State represents the most felonious rivalry in college football.* *Between two teams that never win anything.
12. Kentucky 18
You'd think Kentucky would be better at football with this arrest rate.
15. LSU 16
LSU's arrest rate is top 15 in the country, yet just the 9th best in the SEC. That's so Les.
15. Marshall 16
The Thundering Herb break up the big five conference football run with some non-major five arrest respect.
15. Oregon State 16
Again, a middle of nowhere Pac 12 school with a huge arrest rate.
15. Pittsburgh 16
Pitt beating out Florida State for the ACC's highest arrest rate would have been a major upset. So of course Pitt kept it close and then choked.
19. Arkansas 14
Fun fact: 12 of these are actually Houston Nutt arrested trying to sneak into Old Country Buffet.
19. Michigan 14
This is all Rich Rod's fault.
19. Oklahoma State 14
This number would have been much higher, but T. Boone Pickens bought the Stillwater police department in 2012.
19. Purdue 14
Even Purdue's arrested football players are bad.
23. Auburn 13
Auburn is ranked 23rd in the nation for arrests, but just 11th in the SEC.
23. Colorado 13
Confession: Every now and then I forget Colorado actually has a football team.
26. Nebraska 12
You know the program is in stiff decline when Nebraska can't even make the top 25 of arrests any more. Lawrence Phillips used to do that by himself.
26. Ohio State 12
Urban Meyer will have them top five in arrests in no time.
28. East Carolina 11
This is the strongest case ECU has made for inclusion in the SEC.
28. Mississippi State 11
Odds someone from State emails asking why the Bulldogs are rated so low here? 100%.
28. Oregon 11
See what happens when you decriminalize weed? No one gets arrested any more.
28. Penn State 11
(Insert Jerry Sandusky was framed comment from Nittany Lion truthers.)
28. TCU 11
The most arrests for a private school. Well done, Gary Patterson.
33. Syracuse 10
This number would be much higher, but in 2010 Syracuse police implemented a new policy: you can't be arrested when there's a foot of snow on the ground.
33. Texas 10
I kind of want to see Urban Meyer get named the head coach of Texas just to see what he could do with this number.
33. Central Michigan 10
33. Middle Tennessee 10
33. Western Kentucky 10
39. Arizona State 9
Arizona State is the only school on this list where the football team actually has a lower arrest rate than the student body.
39. Cincinnati 9
39. Illinois 9
39. South Carolina 9
43. Arizona 8
43. Bowling Green 8
43. Colorado State 8
43. Georgia Southern 8
49. Baylor, Indiana, Louisville, Miami, Michigan State, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Northern Illinois 7
