The bigger question for spurrier about Garcia that was NEVER asked is why didn’t he miss ANY games with all the trouble he got into over his 10 yrs(kidding) in Columbia.

There needs to be a comprehensive drug policy implemented in the SEC. A uniform policy. Georgia is doing the right things which could put them at a competitive disadvantage. Kudos for taking a stand and having a school policy with consequences.

@AllTideUp We need a uniform policy for all of the NCAA or we will end up with one conference getting an advantage over all the others.

I liked the way Richt handled this. No died in the wool UGA fan, but institutions have personalities just like people, and part of UGA’s persona is it gets ripped alot, for doing the right thing. I do not agree with a previous poster that the SEC should have a universal policy on offenses. That takes the human element out of it. Richt, and other coaches, take an approach that looks a lot like the “love” described above. Good for them. Other coaches don’t. That may work for them. Bottom line, Richt and UGA seem to walking the walk and talking the talk. Can’t ask much more from a leader and institution to enforce the standards they set. Hope they also are given enough latitude to exercise the human element every now and then. Not all players are born wired the same way.

Richt is a good man and it shows what our society is like sometimes when good men do the right thing and are honest and yet are portrayed as lax.

I think we need uniform drug/crime/arrest policies in the SEC. It’s unfair that some programs are harder on themselves than others and it gives a disincentive to discipline your players if everyone doesn’t have to follow the same rules.

@viciousdawg

No offense and I appreciate you being a regular around here, but Spurrier must’ve been asked about Stephen Garcia 200 times. It was written about, made fun of, etc.

Folks tend to notice when questions are asked about their own team… not when they’re asked about somebody else’s.

Trust me, Spurrier was ripped for Garcia’s fifth chance all last summer.

Thanks for reading,
John

I wish for once the media hypes would have asked Spurrier why Garcia got 9753 chances at SC and Georgia players only get one.
