Jamar Hornsby gets the boot from Florida. For once, Urban Meyer does not think the punishment is harsh.
“He is not part of our program,” Meyer said in a statement.
Bra-fucking-vo.
Orson Swindle and Stranko Montana are two men pushing thirty who should know better than to run a college football blog, but evidently don't. Both graduated from the University of Florida, and both agree that college football is far too important to be left to the professionals.

1. Ain’t nobody going to stop rootin’ for their team because of criminal behavior.
2. Ain’t no school that doesn’t have these guys and ain’t none that is gonna be 100% clean in the future.
3. As long as there be millions to be had and poor, under-educated kids are the means to get said millions, this is gonna happen again.
4. Fans of Georgia and their drunken and possibly gay quarterback can suck my left nut.

Continuation T. Arranger @ 36:
Hornsby used somebody else’s credit card. You’re right, that’s comparable to destruction of property, grand theft auto, and putting other people’s lives in danger by driving while intoxicated.
Funny how changing the framing can effect how bad things seem. Oh, and the other difference? Garcia is still on the team. Hornsby isn’t.
My point still stands (My point wasn’t ‘UF > UGA’. It was UGA is not perfect either.)

Conti @ #36…adding a side helping of holier-than-thou to your moral equivalency? Garcia is still in school so the possibility remains that he will surpass Hornsby’s exploits…not wishin’, just sayin’…serial amelioration comes in many flavors, colors and assortments.
And a gratuitous “fuck it” to go with my current state of mind.

#12, Garcia keyed a car and drank beer while under 21. You’re right that’s comparable to what Hornsby did. Sure, whatever you say.

Bra-fucking-vo? Bra-fucking-vo?? Are you kidding me?
Urby gets a bravo from me once I see the verified YouTube video of Hornsby being fed, Fargo-style, into a woodchipper.

Interesting that Meyer’s actions, while timely and appropriate, are viewed as belated and forced. Two sides to every story…Hornsby’s previous indiscretions obviously didn’t have the weight to get him kicked off the team, and whether or not he was guilty of what he was charged with by those on this board, those acts were a little more grey than the black and white they are being painted right now.
The kid screwed up in grand fashion and is paying the price…a lesson learned in an extremely repugnant manner: public humiliation, appearance of moral decrepitude and minor criminal prosecution…and deservedly so.
That said, I find it silly when other fans pound their chests in righteous indignation and proclaim their team-based moral superiority in all things football oriented…personal pride and satisfaction in one’s team is one thing, but to expect that one’s team/school is immune from such acts of a single misguided individual is naive.
(steps off soapbox amid jeers and rotting fruit/vegetable missiles…) Oh, and Dawg Pound…I appreciate your women, but you…not so much.

I think Cincinnati Bengals fans would disagree with this…

Does anyone else think that this reflects badly on the UF boosers? They obviously aren’t paying these kids enough if they have to resort to these kind of heinous acts just to have a little extra spending money.

Mr. Pants,
One assumes that if the card were a garden variety Visa/MC, those things may have happened. Since it was only a BP card, Jamar was limited to the energy drinks, porn mags, and air fresheners available at the average Quick-E-Mart.

I truly hate this.
The fact of the matter is that at age 18, the “law of the land” will discipline those who fail in the ethics and integrity part of life. Shame.

I believe we would actually being going with ‘fourths’ if we took back Hornsby…

You are commending Urban Meyer on “doing the right thing”?
What were his options?
The kid was doing more than waving AK-47s outside of bars.
