Richt debunked the non-sense Moreno rumors floating around a few weeks ago while speaking at the Augusta Bulldog Club.Richt shot down Internet rumors that coaches had sent home star tailback Knowshon Moreno last month. It was the first question posed to him by fans. "We did not send him home," Richt said. "I'm the only one in charge of being able to send anybody home and I didn't send him home. Knowshon is a wonderful guy and wonderful spirit.Look guys...I'm no genius, but I know this. If Mark Richt were pissed at his franchise tailback, the LAST thing he would do is let him out of his sight. Stupidest load of bullshit rumor in a while.

Every season some douche bag creates a rumor about a star player being in trouble. Every year it's false (except for the Paul Oliver story...one out of 100 ain't exactly a solid batting average).
All that said, Moreno did get into some "trouble" way back in October 2006 (his redshirt year) over a noise violation involving a minor celebration in his dorm room after the Ole Miss win. Apparently Moreno didn't make the trip with the team, and he was having a good time in his room ... well within the acceptable time frame for making noise.
Long story short, he was cited for the noise and the student judiciary forced him to write a 2 page paper on noise pollution as punishment. What follows is spiteful comedy of the highest order.
