Wow these guys sound like vicious thugs.

"Lemon, who is 6-foot-4, 274 pounds, "punched Mr. Jackson five times before someone pulled Mr. Lemon off. Several of the witnesses advised that several of Mr. Lemon's friends 'huddled' around Mr. Lemon as he was punching Mr. Jackson," the report states."

UGA won't be a safe campus until these monsters are off of it for good.

I hope CMR comes down hard on Lemon, you just can't do stuff like that. But as for the "touching in an insulting manor" thing WTF? I'm not saying that I want people I don't know to touch me, but there is a difference between touching in an "insulting" manor and touching in a "aggresive or harmfull" manor. I hope ACC can see the difference between the two and throw out the allegations from the East Campus Incident.

All these guys are decent guys at heart..not thugs. They work hard to be on that team - harder than most people realize...People make mistakes sometimes... They just have a big target on their backs and should learn to act better than the other 30,000 students here...

"Football head coach Mark Richt is out of town and unavailable to comment."

If being a National Championship coach includes keeping your team "OUT" of jail, then Mark, the Almighty, is failing seriously. It is truly sad watching this highly touted team throw a shot away before the first kickoff.
