so why has Eric abandoned the hive? I know he had a baby, but that was almost a year ago and he's deleted his profile.
 
Forgot to mention that I think this particular officer who talked smack to him is a total tool. Should probably be made to eat his words if they are true.

If you believe you are a professional, you must act that way in your profession at all times. Otherwise, you are just considering it a job and should probably go get another one.
 
Kid was looking to decommit awhile ago, when he was talking about taking visits to other schools. Better to know now than right before signing day.

Since when do the GTPD handle seating problems that do not involve altercations, drunks, etc? I thought we paid a lot of money to those people in the yellow shirts/jackets to handle those situations.

Well, the big winner here is sewak. CPJ has now found a fall guy to deflect any blame away from jello boy..

When the seating guys and the woman babysitting the recruits get cursed at by unruly recruit and his family, security gets called in.

He will enjoy his family getting free trips and his Alabama degree in Underwater Basket Weaving and his six kids on welfare. Long term it is a failed plan, but short term it feels good. I will laugh at him and throw my fries on the floor.
 
He would have been treated a lot worse by Tech professors. If he couldn't handle this little shaft, what would he have done when the Platonic Shaft was pulled out and displayed in all its magnificence come testing time.
 
The real asshat in all this my have been JJ's mom. Can't really blame JJ so much for sticking up for his mom; but I do blame his mom for escalating the seating situation and dragging the family into it. Nice going mom, you may have just cost your son a scholly to a FBS program and set him up to play at Shorter or some other similar outpost for few years.
 
I did notice that the yellow shirt folks were much friendlier for this game than usual. "Welcome to Bobby Dodd Stadium" was said a few times as we made our way in also "Have a nice night, drive safe" on the way out. I wonder if it has anything to do with the security guy acting like a grizzly bear at the bottom endzone after the FSU game. He was being really rough with students that were trying to get to the field.

He can try to spin this any way he wants, but the truth is that he, and his family, left the seating area reserved for recruits and went to exclusive reserved seating area where other people already had tickets. When people saw their seats had been taken, an usher was sent to ask the recruit, his mother, and brother to return to their assigned seats with the rest of the recruits, and they got aggressive, so the GA Tech Police and a GA Tech recruiting escort was called over to try to calm the matter,. At that time, the recruit and his family tried to claim they were being racially profiled because the Police were called over and they were told to vacate the seats. The truth is they should have never been in the seats in the first place, they were asked nicely to return to their seats and refused, and they escallated the conflict and Paul Johnson pulled his offer.

If the events truly played as described by the alum in the Lettermen's Club, then this is 100% true. The mom should have understood her involvement and left the area without incident.
 
yeah, the school in the South that has a much larger average black student population that any SEC school, most any other ACC school and one of the most diverse student bodies in all of the country ... and what this kid sees is "racial profiling"

please go elsewhere, and take your momma with you

if you threaten to decommit if a cop doesnt let you sit somewhere where you are not supposed to sit, and then do it because of the cops actions, then you are not only a moron, but a whiny bitch.

mr recruit: please try this at any other stadium and see how often it works out for you.

My exact thoughts.
 
I tried to describe as accurately as I could what I saw. The latter part of my post was strictly my opinion. I can understand how in the heat of the moment, there was anger and hostility. The officer who intervened did a great job in keeping things from getting very ugly. He led the group out of the stands with no appearance of any kind of coercion. In fact, I doubt any of the people who observed the group leaving would have thought that the officer and the three people were connected at all. Based on the outcome of the entire incident, I was very surprised that the recruit would cite it as a reason to decommit. It was only my opinion based on what I saw that I would not want the young man representing Georgia Tech. My opinion has not changed but it doesn't matter. The best response to the incident is the same as the best response to the season. It's over. Let it go.
 
This is all well and good, but as it all played out, well, truthfully I'm bummed. I was really dying to know if he was going to be the one to finally usher in a new 007 era by successfully jumping off a bridge onto a moving train.
 
I went to the UGAg/USuCk game in 2009, the one that trashed the campus so badly, with some friends of mine. We were on about the 10 yard line lower deck near the scoreboard side of the field. I walked down to get a pic of the stadium from the endzone student section before the game (it was early and empty) and security asked me to leave the area. I told him I just wanted to take a pic and would return to my seat. I took the pic and went back to my section as asked. These things are really pretty simple if you just follow rules

Edited: I originally said GT

There's a lot more to being a Tech man than being a sensitive little bitch. Good riddance to this fool and good luck playing for Awbun or wherever. We don't need him.

I believe he was a 3 star. Awbun won't even look at him.
