Good lord, this is such a liberal stance. The role of self-accountability is a thing of the past. How many times do people go to parties or a bar and get over served. Blowing a .18 is twice the legal limit, but certainly isn’t the point where you throw rationality out the window or are a babbling idiot. Maybe I should blame the homeowner for forcing me to take so many shots or the bartender for giving me such strong drinks. Maybe they should lose their jobs?
When you are 21 years old, much less 24 years old, you either know right from wrong or you don’t. I’d blame the parents before a coach…but that is the society we live in today. I feel so hypocritical giving these young adults a free pass on the blame when they can buy alcohol, join the military, be entrusted to raise a family. I guarantee you Kirby had zero to do with that female staffer and Carter is months away from having a professional football team pay him tens of millions. Sounds like feigned outrage because it is UGA. I swear, this site should be called Dawgtalk with how much they live rent-free in our head.
Buzzkill indeed.

You figured it out. I’m Kirby Smart!!! Generally, I just like to read the information, but I get so frustrated on how much we lick the taint of perceived slights. The top articles on a “GT” football board are…UGA player has warrant issued, Mutt Culture, Expansion rumors (where people think UGA is somehow keeping us out of the SEC and people go between SECheat and begging to be in that same culture, Geoff Collings taking a shot at us, a UGA player insulting us in a game two-years ago.

I mean there are going to be GT football articles on this GT football site, right?
Whadaya have? You can click over and talk bball.

I don’t like this saying. I shot my first deer when I was 8.
But let's be honest . . . you are way smarter and more responsible than the average bear. I bet there are a lot of things you would be fine handling that I wouldn't trust many / most folks with. I'm not one for setting rules or laws based on the lowest IQ and character of the bunch. But we also can't just trust everyone with the things that the best among us can handle easily. Remember . . .

I feel it is bad juju to take shots at any one or school for this. I know it makes some people feel better as if we are morally superior, but shoot l, I did a lot of stupid things as a kid, including speeding, racing buddies on back roads in the way to PCB, bad decisions while drinking.
At some point it comes down to personal responsibility. Wasn’t the girl 24? Out late? Drinking and driving? Racing?
I mean, the girl should know better. Sometimes kids are just stupid. And sometimes that leads to awful consequences.
Kids will be stupid and do stupid things. Technically if they're 20-24 they aren't kids anymore but still doing stupid things. The part that gets me is that this just smells of cover up from the school, police, and everybody involved.

You think for a minute that if these were regular students, they wouldn't have charged all of them that night? The headline the next morning would have been two dead because three cars were racing and possibly drunk. (Don't know because it looks like they didn't test the others).

Everybody that had any part in trying to cover this up should be fired and/or locked up. It happens everywhere from high school to the pros and none of it is right but there is a big difference between letting a star player out of a speeding ticket or maybe even having a joint on him and trying to hide that they were part of an event that killed two people.

I'm not even saying they are guilty, I wasn't there and I don't know but it sure sounds like even if they were, we would never find out and they will get off scott free because they are good at a game.

Any athletic administrator with a spine would can Smart for this. UGA won’t because they’ve spent decades looking the other way & covering up player behavior just for an extra couple W’s. Complete lack of control, even condoning this kind of thing. Two people under his leadership are dead because of this. One just cost himself millions of dollars. Mothers send their babies to this man to get to the NFL, but need to start asking at what cost. You don’t see this kind of stuff happening under Nick Saban, and for good reason. He’s got his program in a death grip of control.
No athletic director at a football factory is going to can a coach who just won back-to-back national championships because players died in car wreck doing stupid stuff. Maybe if they were having drinks with the coach prior to the accident; but not when the coach is miles away at home in bed.

Then the AD needs to be fired too.

It is the offseason and we are the little brother, down for the count, dead center of the college football world while our in-state retards are national champions. If we're going to be anything like a good team in the near future, it will require us to deal with that problem. And if you have any ideas for Tech-centric threads, you're free to make a new one just like the rest of us. But it's only just now turned March, I'd pace myself if I were you.
