Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Wednesday, October 11, 2006

Two weeks ago Georgia star Tasha Humphrey got caught drinking. She's under 21. The Athens police charged her with a misdemeanor, fined her and released her.

Too bad for her the university has been especially worried about student drinking. Coach Andy Landers has now announced his own penalties: Humphrey will miss the season's first six games, double the required minumu sanction.

Coach Landers: "I want to make sure she understands and everyone else understands that it's just flat-out not acceptable.... We don't have a great deal of [rules]. The reason we don't have a lot of rules is that we've not had a lot of unruly people." Maybe not.

Since Humphrey had knee surgery this spring, the early-season rest may be a blessing in disguise. The Dawgs will certainly need her again later on.
