As we know, sometimes isn’t what you say. It is how you say it. It took me a long time to learn that lesson.

HELLO AGAIN, Guest! We are back, live! We're still doing some troubleshooting and maintenance to fix a few remaining issues but everything looks stable now (except front page which we're working on over next day or two) Thanks for your patience and support! MUCH appreciated! --Brett (BamaNation) if you see any problems - please post them in the Troubleshooting board!
One of the most important lessons I learned in marriage terms is to address issues with my wife in terms of "we" as opposed to "you."
I.E.: "Honey, we need to do a better job of taking care of X." Which often invites a response such as, "I agree, you do need to do a better job of taking care of X...and Y...and Z."
I resurrected this thread because I wanted to ask a question: As we sit here in November, in the course of all the coverage of UGA heading for a possible “three-peat†has anyone heard anything that relates to what happened last January and the fall out around it? In the course of a UGA game, has anyone on ESPN, SEC Network, CBS, etc. even mentioned it in passing? I can’t say I’ve watched every game with UGA this year, so can’t say for certain.
I couldn’t help but think about the “Brandon Miller†situation last year and how you couldn’t watch an Alabama basketball game without it being on the forefront.
It’s seems what happened there on that January night that led to deaths of UGA player and Athletic Department employee, the injury of another player and devastating injuries to another former Athletic Department employee has seemingly been forgotten. No questions and “let’s move onâ€Â.

Attorneys representing a former University of Georgia football recruiting analyst injured in a crash involving alcohol that killed two members of the program say coaches and staffers regularly drove UGA athletic association rental vehicles after drinking.
The attorneys also allege that UGA’s coaches spent cash during unofficial recruiting visits. Such spending by coaches may have violated NCAA rules, according to court papers filed on Thursday.
I will believe it when I see it.

“My client’s iPhone survived the crash fully intact and contains thousands of pages of recruiting texts describing the inner workings of UGA’s recruiting activities,†Bowles’ attorney Rob Buck said in a statement. “The new texts included in the Amended Complaint establish that the Association was fully aware recruiting staffers were regularly allowed to drive recruits and their families around Athens after drinking alcohol at Association sponsored events.â€Â
But texts published in Bowles’ original complaint, filed in July, cut into UGA’s narrative. Text conversations dated prior to the Jan. 15 crash show Bowles’ supervisors regularly told her and other recruiting analysts they could keep their rental vehicles overnight.
...
“Text messages show that on occasion supervisors and coaches, in effect, encouraged recruiting staff to drink alcohol with football prospects’ families-well aware that staffers would leave the events after consuming alcohol,†the complaint reads.
The texts suggest that recruiting staff drank at Smart’s home during recruiting events. In one text exchange from January 25, 2020, Godwin sent a picture of an empty Corona beer bottle to a football staff group chat that Bowles’ attorneys said was taken in the basement of Smart’s home.
“One down the hatch,†Godwin texted to a group of football program staffers.

These could be smoking guns, UGA might have to suspend 2-3 staffers or even janitors for 4 games next year!!!!
nothing to see here folks, please move along now.

Athens state senator Bill Cowsert, who is representing Carter, a former UGA defensive star, has told a judge he will step away from the cases through April 8. His filing cites a Georgia law that grants lawyer-legislators broad leave from their legal caseload during the legislative session, which typically runs through the first few months of the year. The law allows Cowsert to effectively halt hearings and discovery in the UGA cases, first filed last summer.
UGA lawsuits over fatal crash likely delayed for months
A pair of lawsuits that arose following fatal crash that stunned the University of Georgia football program appears to be on hiatus through April, a delay the lawyer for Devin Willock’s father says benefits defendants Jalen Carter and the UGA athletic association.

So he gets to do nothing on the case for months while he's at the capitol doing nothing for months.
This happens all the time. That's why he was hired.nothing to see here folks, please move along now.
