Reporters ridicule Georgia for Fan Day policies
Georgia held its Fan Day on Saturday, which includes an open practice. Just don’t think about taking any videos or, in the case of media members, live tweeting any observations.

Reporters were asked not to tweet what they observed during the open practice:

@JasonHButt already breaking the rules by live tweeting the no live tweeting rules?
