1) if true, and the report appears to be, he should be off the team. This does not feel like a he said she said situation
2) massive stretch to call him an offensive weapon lol

It is tragic and disappointing how much is happening at UGA regarding off-field. Accidents happen, people that age can be stupid. I don't expect zero incidents or anything. The racing accident that lead to multiple deaths was terrible but could happen anywhere. Guys continuing to speed afterwards is a culture issue. And the number of domestic violence issues is alarming. That should be zero and for this to be the second in the last few months is a major red flag.

Permanently removing players from the team is not the answer though. I'm not arguing he remains on the team, just that removing him doesn't actually fix anything. That's akin to asking the government to fix a problem it created. It needs to be addressed on the front end, during recruiting. Odds are this guy and Rara will continue to commit violence against women and those weaker than themselves. At this point they're just terrible people and will continue to be

Yeah Chilz35 @Chilz35 and I talked about this awhile back and I agreed that Kirby had done a great job at weeding character guys out. I'm starting to finally think that wasn't entirely accurate.

And I'm sorry but if what the victim and her friend on the phone are claiming turns out to be a fact you cut ties immediately. I'm not even going to quote it but that's about as inhumane as it gets for me.

I also said offensive weapon bc he's had 2 TD's this year. I'd call any guy on any team that through half a season.

I listened to some more of finebaums callers a bit ago and damnit. I love that Vandy beat bama almost as much as my Hogs upsetting the Vols. The main difference is Tennessee fans can be reasonable and don’t expect to win a natty every year. They can appreciate a good game. Bama fans are like spoiled rotten children when you take away their favorite toy

*UGA fans thankful Spurrier is no longer coaching as his commentary on the Dawgs off-the-field behavior would be comedy gold.

Exactly. How about some props to the Vandy kids for bringing it all day long. Don’t tell me those kids didn’t deserve to win after the way they played. Bama fans expect teams to roll over because Bama is Bama. Would love for one of these knuckleheads to look Vandy players in the eyes and tell them they’re not supposed to win. Not supposed to play hard.

According to the Vandy qb that's exactly what the Bama players did the whole game only to eat dick in the end. Warms my heart.

Potential for some really good games this weekend
USCe v Alabama. USC's offense is garbage and it's on the road but the defense is pretty good and it'll be fun to see how Alabama responds
Utah v Arizona St
Penn State at USCw. PSU is slightly favored, Lincoln is trying his best to get that Jimbo buyout money, but the cross-country Big 10 team has not fared well this season. 1-9 I think it was for the away team
Texas v Oklahoma. These SEC conference games are always tough
Florida v Tennessee. Tennessee's offense has been mediocre two straight weeks. Maybe Napier saves his job. Fingers crossed
Ole Miss v LSU. #9 v #13. Winner looks to the playoffs, loser is in a very bad spot
Ohio State v Oregon. Really looking forward to this. A lot on the line
Kansas St v Colorado. Both 4-1, K-State is #18. Playoff implications on the line but this would be big for Coach Prime.
Vanderbilt v Kentucky. This wasn't interesting last week but now it is. Vandy has overachieved, Kentucky underachieved. Kentucky is a big favorite.
Syracuse v NC State. A 5-1 Syracuse?!

Oregon/tOSU and Ole Piss/Lswho are the two I'm looking forward to. Can they all lose?

This UT fan has a schtick on Twitter, where he usually posts statistics related stuff which favors UT (Aggie fans on here should know him, he goes pretty hard against you guys, even published an Aggie fact book). Overall a douche. He starts posting stuff about the Red River Rivalry/Shootout the week or so before the game…..but he often self-owns. He posted the following biggest point differentials in this game’s history:

It's unbelievable in College Station I can't imagine what it's like there. Actually yes.. yes I can. I don't believe they'll run the table until Thanksgiving but it might be interesting if they did.
