Geriatric Fisticuffs


Another day, another way Regent and UGA non-graduate Don Leebern makes both the State and University of Georgia proud.

In an altercation involving barking dogs, Leebern, 68, and Mason Bentley, 48, the son of former Athens may Upshaw Bentley, settled a dispute like mature adults with an oldster donnybrook in the middle of the street.

[Tastes Great or Less Filling? Let's settle this once and for all.]

The fight was witnessed by Leebern's wife lady friend, UGA gymnastics coach Suzanne Yoculan. Bentley suffered a broken nose and a punctured lung.

According to the article, Bentley--bleeding from his nose and knuckles after getting whipped by an old dude of nearly 70--also threatened to get his AK-47 from his house.

Stay Classy, Oconee County.

[Don't mess with old dudes, especially ones who co-habitate with gymnastics coaches]

Update: Photo of post-fracas Bentley.



Maybe this is how Leebern has stayed on the Board of Regents for so long: "If you can whip me, you can take my seat!" Either that, or buying Governors.
