SacFalcFan Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Some internal discipline and a public apology, and he'll be good to go.sam montgomery was also one of the players allegedly involved which is pretty big because he is an impt piece to that defense, but as you said internal discipline and public apology. basically the story is some frat boys were there and insulted jordan's girlfriend and would leave her alone so jordan and his group beat them down (that's one story that was being thrown around) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritzblitz 2.0 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Some internal discipline and a public apology, and he'll be good to go.It may not be that easy.Several people who claim to have witnessed the incident tell 9NEWS that around 2 a.m., a young man driving a truck blew his horn to get a group of people blocking the driveway to move at Shady’s on E. Boyd Ave. That’s when they say a group of people pulled the driver out of the truck and began beating him. When a friend of the driver, a Marine who had just returned from training, ran to assist the driver, he was also beaten and thrown to the ground. Ten people who claim to have witnessed the incident say LSU quarterback Jordan Jefferson then kicked the Marine in the head.Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud that Georgia stands for something in this win-at-any cost climate. But I hate the disadvantage we are in because of it, especially from being completely honorable with kids and not oversigning (the 85) for competitive advantage. We can afford significantly fewer mistakes because of it, and it doesn't seem fair.OK, you guys know Richt as well as I do, what would be the punishment if it happened to us?~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd still be arresting people today. It would be chaos. And we'd be without half our team for at least 2 games.

richham Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) Police Seize 49-50 Pairs of Jordan Jefferson's ShoesFirst of all, how many men own 49-50 pairs of shoes??? I guess they are looking for blood or some other evidence.Yeah I though the exact same thing when I saw how many pairs of shoes they took. Woman claims she saw Jefferson kick guy on ground in the head. I'm assuming they took the shoes to find out if that is true. Bouncer and owner of the bar claiming LSU guys were standing around twiddling their thumbs. Lots of witnesses with differing accounts and people involved.I don't think the police care who was involved or why it started. It sounds like they are zeroing in on the fact that someone was beaten bad enough that it fractured three vertebrae and ultimately who was responsible for that specific act.Everything else will be slap on the wrist, fine, one game suspension and some community service.

They are saying the team won't miss a beat. I am hearing that Lee will get the start against Oregon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
