AJC Pulls the curtain back on Kirby & UGA "Reckless Culture"

Yes, but were you ever caught, or cause anyone harm? And did you face any consequences?

I don’t expect 18-21 year old ”men“ to be be choir boys, let alone 58-year olds :), especially with traffic regulations, but at what point does enough become enough? When a player kills someone? Reads like Carter was ’involved’ in a fatal crash, and McIntosh could have on his third major offense.

But yeah, this story isn‘t a Baylor-like situation.

I mean have I ever evaded 5-0? Yes, a couple of times. Lol. Harmed anyone? Never.

I wanna be mad and point fingers, but man when I was at this age, I was burning rubber, doing street races down The Shaw, doing donuts hanging out the window, & filming chicks twerking on my car. Sooooooo while I don’t condone any of this, I do know how I got down at that same age.

In other news Water is wet, do you really think any Championship team has not had some of this going on? It's been going on since the dawn of time. You really think all the Canes Championship teams didn't have this going on? Yall are smarter than this, athletes get away with more than the average joe on a consistent basis
 
I get that most people speed, me too. But I think it's bigger than you guys are making it out to be. Reckless driving and racing are totally different than speeding. And a person apparently died in a related car crash.. The death is clearly what drew media attention. Can you imagine what the press would do if our star defender (e.g., Kam) had done something like that?

Usually when a preventable tragedy like that happens, the adults in the room set new protocols to change behavior. Yet the UGA players continue to push the envelope. I'm glad the AJC is writing the article. It's documentation, so that if another person is hurt by these guys racing, Kirby is properly put on the hot seat.
 
I'm not sticking up for anything these guys have done but consider the environment.

You're taking kids that have had massive attention, coaches promising the world, and fans begging them to go to their school and you're putting 100 of these hypermasculine, alpha kids into a pressure cooker known as big time P5 college football.

You ask these kids to be warriors in the weight room, kill each other in practice/games then expect them all to be choir boys off the field.

What do you really expect to happen?

Hmmm rules for thee but not for we

Young and reckless… two words that go synonymous together.

You can only control so much as a coach and then it’s up to them.

If anything I would remind them how fast it can be taken away and trust me I’ve seen it far too many times in my 21 year career.

I would show them the Henry Ruggs case and leave it at that

Wait I was told only Miami media reported negative program news. This can’t be right

If the Athens Journal reported this you’d have a point. Atlanta is more loyal to Georgia Tech than UGA. Our own media (Barry Jackson, Corbin, LeBatard …others) in the dang city loves shyting on the program when we’re down and acting like they supported us all along when we win.
 
I'm willing to bet without going through all the posts evert national championship team has arrests. it really is a part of that dawg mentality. lucky for us we are headed in that direction. Miami hasn't had many arrested and it shows
