It is ironic that this shows up on our board, but part of it is due to the reputation of St. Richt. I remember my Georgia bretheren shaking their heads at me when UT was going through similar hardships, and reminding me of what a fine man St. Richt was. All the while they were assuring me that this kind of thing would never happen on his watch. If nothing else, we get to watch another fan base squirm a little. Especially when they thought they were immune.
In a way it is sad that a college student cannot walk down the street with a beer without being arrested. Overzealous campus policemen bother me a bit (though I have no disdain for law enforcement in general), but rules are rules even if they are stupid. Twenty years ago these same campus patrolmen would have walked these guys straight to their dorms or right over to the coaches house. Right or wrong I truly miss those days.
The topic is worth mentioning on this board for one simple reason. We know by experience that these off the field issues can dramatically affect the direction of a program.
