On a scale of 1-10


Aug 13, 2013, 3:43 PM

How tight will the Georgia kickers sphincter be if his first kick in a college game is the opening kick off against Clemson, in front of 85+ screaming fans, on national television, with Sammy Watkins standing in the endzone. I'm thinking there is a good chance he hits a snap hook into the sideline stands.

Didn't they lose their starting kicker?

Personally I woualdn't suspend him. It's not like he was bombing down the street at 80 mph with an open bottle of jim beam and a bag weed. The kid was doing what alot of people do during the fourth of July holiday.

Aug 13, 2013, 4:23 PM

I'd venture to say that, at least, 75 to 80% of all boaters are unaware that there are "rules", regarding proper boating.

Getting drunk and operating a boat is just as dumb as operating any other vehicle.

Aug 13, 2013, 4:21 PM [ in reply to Re: The fact that he wasn't suspended immediately ]

makes it OK?

He was chaged with boating under the influence which is just as serious as driving under the inluence and he reused to submit to a blood acohol test.

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.


Refusing to submit to any test, of any kind, is smart.

No need to provide authority with evidence. From a legal standpoint, if I were in his shoes, I wouldn't submit either.

Yup, another Hi-Five

If you know you're guilty why give them the ammunition. Let them get a warrant for a blood draw, by the time they get it, and get you to the hospital, you might be under the limit.

From a legal standpoint, if I knew I was guilty and the test would simply confirm it, I would have probably refused the test too.

he was towing two people on a tube behind a boat without a spotter which is also illegal. Once they stopped him, they could smell the alcohol on him. That is when Game Management asked him and he refused to submit to the test.

Granted, he does seem to be a magnet for kids with character or integrity issues but once he get's them on campus, if they screw-up or do something illegal, unlike some other coaches in the $EC, Richt generally suspends them for it.

How tight is your kickers sphincter going on game day? Must be a little nervous about not having a kicker in a big game. Also, does your team plan on handing us the game like you did last year against USCe or are we going to have to earn it?

Also, I'm curious about your faith in your untested freshmen kicker facing a big time, hostile environment for his first game. I know my dig piddles on the rug when he gets nervous, I'm expecting the same from your guy. Like I said, snap hook into the sideline stands, which is probably better than not getting it to the endzone and giving Sammy a chance with it in his hands.

Re: Just curious on your thoughts


Aug 13, 2013, 4:37 PM

Well considering that Marshall Morgan missed quite a few fgs last year I'm not convinced that he would be an asset. If it does come down to a fg though I suppose I'll just have to hold my breath. Our kickers haven't faired that well the last couple of seasons.

I'm not saying our players are saints, but if one of your best player had the same issue that got a couple of our players suspended last year for four games, I wouldn't stand in judgment. I would never question Watkins' character for getting into trouble a ton of college students get in trouble for. I was an RA at UGA in the 80s, and kids got in trouble for weed back then too.

A era of great defense and conservative offenses made the kickers be the difference in winning or losing.

O how times have changed.

Of course kickoffs have changed also. Nearly every kicker can easily kick it through the endzone.
