HORNSBY BOOTED

Way to go Urbz.

Well done, Urban.
Ironically, his major was listed as Social & Behavioral Sciences. You have failed, sir.

Nice move Hornsby. Blowing a full schlarship and a shot at the NFL for a few bucks is pretty bright. Enjoy prison and a lifetime of welfare – my tax dollars at work.

At least the charges werent that embarrasing, besides using a dead girls credit card, if someone with less sense, say any other SEC player, the credit card charges could have ranged from $300 worth of fireworks to Bang Brothers subscriptions, casino markers, escort services, massage parlors, bar tabs/champagne room-strip club charges, pawn shops for guns, Rent Ur Rimz, Ebay charges, plane tickets, Obama/ Rev Wright donations, you know, the basic path to any “gateway” felonious activity….

so does UM think his own punishment is harsh?

Naughty Mr. Pelican Pants? Please explain these Bang Bros? I had to personally google the term to see what malfeasance you were imputing to our fine student-athletes ;)

WTF are you congratulating Hurb for? Like he had a fuckin choice. I’d love to see how any coach, even a Bowden, could justify keeping this POS.

Seriously, Urban should get props for FINALLY doing the right thing???

That’s like giving an award to a man that pays child support. Newsflash: you don’t pat a man on the back for something he’s supposed to do.

This asshat SHOULD’VE been kicked off after his SECOND infraction last year. But, that’s expecting too much from a “man” like Urban.

Go Dawgs!

Mackey, I’ll remember you said that when Preston Parker suits up next fall.

Yeah, Dawg Pound. There’s no way Richt would let a felony slide! No sir, never. Not even for a walk on Defensive Tackle. Like Tripp Taylor. No sir. Never. UGa is clean as a whistle. A dirty, filthy, siphilytic whistle. I vaguely remember an old adage about a house made of a brittle transparent material, and not hurling projectiles…

My sentiments exactly, Dawg Pound. OK, that’s my one agreement with a UGA fan for the month.

Hokka dokka!!

Jamar, there’s a place for you in Columbia. Contact Mr Stephen Garcia, c/o Wms-Brice Stadium, Bluff Rd., Cola, SC.

He admires your work.

As little as I want to come anywhere near defending this asshole’s actions, theft is an uncomfortably common occurrence among college athletes (even at non-scholarship institutions, it’s a problem). I’ve never really understood why.

So Urbs threw this guy off the team after:

-He was caught selling his free student tickets.
-He was arrested in a fight.
-He ran up a bill on a dead girl’s card.

Uhmmm… yes…. Errr… Thanks for the quick and decisive action Coach. You showed great leadership, by making such a tough choice. I hope the press doesn’t give you too much grief over this unpopular decision that took 3 years to happen.

Agree with Matt.

@ 10 - Tripp Taylor was charged with a misdemeanor, not a felony. Don’t get so excited.

At least he didn’t shit in someone laundry basket while they were still in thier room sleeping (UM Davenport 2002)….Or shoot a chic in her fucking chest TWICE and continue to fuck her while she lay there bleeding…THEN when he was done he took all of her christmas presents (FSU Gibson 1993)…

#15:

Oh yeah, it was his high school friend that was charged with the felony assauly, wasn’t it… Whoops.

Ah well, there’s still Dannell Ellerbe. DUI and GTA in one go. And stayed on the team.

Not You and others, We regret to announce that Tripp Taylor is no longer a Ga Bulldog, and hasn’t been for months. He was charged with a misdemenor, yelling insults and foul language, that charge was laterr dropped. No UGA player has been charged with a felony in a couple of years now, but I am not giving up hope I know that at any time someone could do something idiotic and move Us right to the top of the charts! Look at the Fulmer ratings. Mizzou? Number one for a while and picked by some to win the Big Twelve. WVA, also number one for a while and Pat White on the watch list for the Heisman. Illini, Best season in years and a trip to the Rose Bowl. UGA is loaded with rtalent, but I don’t see how They can compete for a NC with only four points. Oh well, summer is coming and I have faith!

I think Nick Saban is looking for a few more athletes to pull some bonehead moves before August, ya know, to thin out the herd—-“these things have a way of working themselves out” I think is the quote…..I think mentally, after the ULM-Peal Harbor-9/11- Tsunami-6.6 Richter scale earthquake-Hiroshima/Nagasaki-Black Plague-Polio Epidemic debacle, I am sure he made mental notes of “I’m gonna get rid of you, you you, you ,you and definately you, then I gonna yank his scholarship and that guys scholarship and basically the whole scout team, and let the backroom agreement with the Tuscaloosa PD take its course on some of the players I have marked for extinction….Muahhahah…….”
Diabolical Saban-these things happen.

@ 10

I googled “siphilytic whistle” and Travis Henry appeared.

There is a direct correlation between # of team wins and # of team felonies at all levels of football.

1. - As a Michigan State fan during the Bobby Williams era, I disagree heartily with your statement.

Jacksonville State coach Jack Crowe gleefully noted, “After we stoleded Ryan Perrilloux from LSU, Jamar could bring us some solid play on the other side of the ball. We believe we can build a championship team from Fulmer Cup Allstars.”

You Florida fans are treating this poor kid like he had a jaw spasm while he was blowing Tebow. What happened to second chances?

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.

@25
I believe we would actually being going with ‘fourths’ if we took back Hornsby…

Murphy (#24), you may be on to something there……..Fulmer Cup All Star Team each year……Fulmer Cup H**sman………Fulmer Cup Coach of the Year……..maybe even a Fulmer Cup Hall of Fame eventually………..

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.

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.

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.

UF boosters that is.

#22

I think Cincinnati Bengals fans would disagree with this…

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.

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.

#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.

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.

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.)

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.
