We’ll update when new information is available.
Kirby’s plan is working… Becoming more like Bama every day. Next stop, gun charges.
Pretty sure it’ll get swept under the rug just Greyson Lambert’s arrest in Oxford. We have a newspaper here in Oxford called the ‘Crime Crier’. It shows the mugshots and lists the charges for everyone arrested in a 3 week period in this county and about 5 other counties. Sure enough, there he was, only they spelled his name ‘Grayson Lamb’. Whether the misspelling was intentional or not, that whole incident was kept on the hush hush.
just like Greyson Lambert’s arrest*
UGA would have to win something of importance to claim that. UGA has been wanting to become Alabama for awhile now but that’s a different story.
How many players got in trouble under richt each year?…..
Georgia leads the nation in college football arrests the last decade. They’re not becoming more like anyone else. They’re just being Georgia. This is business as usual for that trash program.
Auburn’s trash and the one national title you won, you paid for. Enjoy living in the past, as minor as it is. Only 2 ten win seasons in the past decade- congrats! had you covered kelvin benjamin you might have a little more to brag about :)
He’s building his transfer resume for Auburn.
At least he’ll have an opportunity to play for championships there.
Thats a good one considering UGA has dominated the farmers at Auburn this century
And that has gotten UGA what? A participation trophy? Maybe you should get some rings made since that’s all you can celebrate.
And we dominate winning titles. Congrats on your “We beat Auburn” trophy. Its the most important one you’ll ever see.
Meanwhile we have more important games to win.
Auburn wins one title and you’d think they’re college football blue blood from the way their fans act haha. It litterally took the barn half a million dollars and what could’ve been the best player ever in college football if he would’ve played more years than 1. Basically if Miss St. could’ve out bid them Miss St. would be celebrating as 2010 NC. But we all know 2010, along with 195whatever are both tainted*
Funny how Georgia fans get upset at other teams rehabilitating players that their team screwed up in the first place.
Or they punish the players by kicking them off the team and then Auburn recruits the convicted felons…and still loses to UGA
:)
Lol. Like they’re going to kick him off the team. Georgia keeps 90% of their criminals. It takes 2-3 arrests usually to get them off.
Amazingly they go to other schools and are productive AND drop that criminal mentality. Seems to be a Georgia thing.
Dang, I was coming here to write that.
So what is that, 2 or 3 arrests so far this year?
7 in 2016
4 in 2015
8 in 2014
4 in 2013
5 in 2012
One day they might win a title other than “most criminals in the SEC”
Damn, his mugshot looks like a video game character that hasn’t been unlocked yet.
No matter what team some of these kids play for they are gonna get in trouble. Some of them after they transfer straighten out because they have already been kicked off of one team they don’t wanna be kicked off another team.
