Without a doubt, but I am not going to act all self righteous ... tell me that you didn't do stupid things when you were college age.

Sure did, and paid the price when I got caught. Of course, I wasn't on a football team that won the last 2 nattys.

I got caught doing 140 MPH on an interstate not yet opened (I-696) ... I was polite to the police and got a ticket for going 10 over. That was back in 1975 (I think I got pulled over for being Black :pound:). No MIPs (Minor in Possession) because the drinking age was 18.

I can tell you that if I had a full-ride scholarship on an elite program with however much NIL money and an NFL career on the line, the frequency of the stupid things I did at that age would drop to 0.

At my current 65, yes ... at 18 ???????

It has gotten absurd. I truly wonder what is happening elsewhere - not as an excuse, our players are shitheads for doing this - but I see this more of an 18-26 year old problem with kids getting NIL and fast cars. I can't imagine it isn't happening elsewhere.

Again, I am not excusing our guys, just wondering what is happening elsewhere.

Dukes of Hazzard was set in Georgia, and I approve of their actions. Athens PD needs to stand the fuck down. Football players bring in revenue. Cops leach off tax payers.

UGA just needs to buy their players really nice Accord and Camry's. Police won't mess with those. Easy to mess with the Lambo that sticks out like a sore thumb.

Then your heroes are not teenage and early 20's men, because a you man with an automobile will do stupid things ... it is a right of passage.

Which is why most are never given 400+ HP machines. Those that do get them, use them. :suds:

Kirby has enough pull in Athens-Clarke County to greatly defund their police department. I think he should use that pull. You’re not landing 5 stars with Camry’s.

Sarcasm? Give me more money and more access to things that can get me into trouble at 18 and I don't settle down.

Kids think they are invincible and are almost never mature enough to think of future consequences

That would be dumb. If funding drops from donations then how do you think they get more money? The answer of course are more speed traps, not less.

Add in that everyone wants to keep the kid happy, so no one tells him "no".

Cut the funding back to where they only have enough for one cop to be on patrol from 9 AM- 3 PM on weekdays, and the patrol car is a 1991 Cown Vic

Tax leachers don’t need to be fucking with real revenue generators

As someone who went to college at the worst possible time (early/mid 2000s when grants and scholarships were nowhere near as prevalent as they are today) and had to take out an absurd amount of student loans since my parents couldn't help me, no sarcasm at all. Even then, knowing what is on the line would've easily been enough for me to not fuck around like that.
