We'll probably do more on this later, but let me just say this. Without giving a full blown "vouch"....the word out of Athens....if you ranked all 85 scholarship football players at Georgia, Blake Barnes would come in around 80th to 85th of kids least likely to get arrested for anything.That said...what sort of dipshit walks down Lumpkin Street at 3:00 am with an open beer? That's a freshman move. Academic seniors (redshirt juniors) like Barnes should know that the Athens and UGA cops live for the open container arrest. That's their holy grail along side jaywalking tickets and shaking down
Best I can figure, the cop was driving Mudcat's Car since the two players were on foot.
And yes, this means that Tripp Chandler, our starting TE, will likely miss the Oklahoma State game and at least part of the South Carolina game. The good news is that we've got tight ends all over the place. The bad news is that Chandler is a solid (or better) blocker, and our ultra young/green OL could have benefited from his assistance in those early games.
More later. We're consulting our chief legal counselor currently.
