This time, it's not news of another transfer, but it may turn out to be one...
Redshirt freshman cornerback Jerrard Tarrant of
Tarrant was in contention for not just time on the field as a special teamer, but a starting position on defense. Obviously this is a blow to the Tech program, but in light of recent events, its just the next incident of the week.
What's next for the Techies? A loss to Perriloux and the 'Cocks of Jacksonville State? I’ll bet something happens before that.

Let us not revel in the bad fortune of others, we are hardly one to talk. Seems that Trinton and Justin Bean are in trouble now in Athens. Things happen and lets just be glad that it is nothing more serious than "inappropriate touching", which could mean that they bumped her in the hallway.
I am guessing you do not have a daughter
6 arrests of Georgia Bulldog football players this off-season is bad. Indeed.
How does this stack up with the Georgia Institute of Technology ?
I believe that is the question posed by this blog, is it not ?
Rape is the charge faced by Georgia Tech Starting Cornerback this up-coming season, as described herein before your two (2) replies.
New Tech football coach, Paul Johnson, replaces a coach who has Lost to UGA every single year. The streak stands at 7 and counting.
Paul Johnson hired as his Assistant Director of Player Personnel, little Joey Hamilton, who took his first Georgia Tech paycheck and promptly purchased drugs, hit another vehicle, was so drunk he could not stand up, left the scene rather than provide assistance to to the victim, left the drugs in his ashtray, and was arrested and subsequently Paul Johnson accepted his resignation.
Georgia Tech May 2nd 2008 was once again this season as it was last season assigned an NCAA APR (Academic Progress Rate) for its football team of 951 to UGA at 965.
Every receiver at Tech has quit the program, sure to run its APR down further.
In its other sports, Tech was also a lower APR than UGA in not only football, but also men's basketball and women's basketball. All of those sports Tech Lost to UGA this season. All of these sports Georgia Tech has a lower worse APR than UGA in.
The Tech women's basketball coach refused to shake the hand of Andy Landers offered after the Loss.
This on the heels of Tech also playing Reuben Houston, who led Tech campus security on a wild chase with him jumping from the van full of 91 lbs. of drugs on Tech's campus. Mr. Houston played against UGA, afterwards.
Tech's Isenhour intentionally hits a bird, endangered species, on purpose on a golf course.
Tech also lost to UGA in baseball this season again, as they always also do. The Tech baseball program tried to cover up that Michael Hutts was a heroin user, who died of drugs down there in the slums of Atlanta where this said campus is located.
Oh, yeah.
We have nothing to reply to Tech fans (both of them.)
Right.
Did I mention too that the Georgia Instutite of Technology Lost 6 Football Scholarships for 2007-2008 for NCAA Probation Major Infractions Database Academic Cheating ?
And, Tech ends up not ranked again while UGA ends up Number 2 in the Final AP Poll, a poll in which Georgia Tech has NEVER been ranked Number 1.
Anon 4:18, does having a daughter mean that you irrationally react with horror at the very thought that someone else might touch her? The story says that the girl was pregnant and they touched her stomach.
Now, as a jealous husband, I do get tired of the way half the world thinks that when a woman is pregnant it entitles them to come up and violate her personal space through both ogles and touches. "Oh, when are you do?" they say as they pat the stomach. "Hello, I don't know you."
That sort of thing is annoying and ought to go the way of calling people with Down's Syndrome "mongoloids." It's tacky and inappropriate. But many many people do it and I think most people would balk at calling it "assault."
Now, maybe they did more than simply "touch" her pregnant belly. But so far that's all the stories are even saying is alleged against them.
Now, the Michael Lemon incident is another matter.
At the time of my post, I was not yet aware of the recent incidents involving the UGA players. However, Anon. 5:31 brings up a great point to the first two anon writers. Most of Georgia's past few incidents are minor in both detail and in the infractions themselves. Touching a pregnant woman's stomach? A. Need more insight into this little "situation." B. She was already pregnant. They didn't knock her up, they didn't rape her. They only touched her stomach. That is what confuses me. There's obviously a little more detail that will come out. If not, those two arrests don't mean anything. Sounds like the girl needed some attention.
So, while my post is poking a little fun at GT, we are willing to receive some criticism back in light of recent arrests. We are also willing to criticize ourselves, but like I said, they didn't rape the girl. She was already pregnant. The other incident just sounds like a fight. Who hasn't thrown fists here and there? He deserves to be arrested, but hey, that's the law. At least he didn't ruin another's life.
Michael Lemon was drunk, so he is not going to get his snaps buried on the depth chart behind Roderick Battle anyway. That one is simple battery drunk mad at someone talking to "his" girlfriend, hitting him 3 times.
I would like to say that I do not appreciate it one damn bit that our Bulldogs' football players always find ways to pull such whenever Coach Richt is out of town.
Our athletes are acting like Georgia Tech's.
We are ranked Number 1 in the nation at this time on the average of all pre-season polls.
You try to do a Michael Lemon a favor and this is the thanks you get.
1 would think that playing Georgia Southern, who beat Appalachian State right after they beat Michigan followed by Bowl Game Opponent Central Michigan, then at South Carolina's Steve Spurrier before Arizona State on the road and then Alabama...then the vols then Vanderbilt who beat us 2 years ago and almost did last year too, then NC at LSU, then Florida who was NC the year before with Heisman Trophy QB, then at Kentucky where they beat us 2 years ago too, then at Auburn, followed by Georgia Tech then the SEC Championship Game we have been to 3 of the last 6 years, then another BCS Bowl Game would be more than enough to occupy our football team.
Obviously, the players do not feel that it is enough to occupy themselves during the Summer. When I was at UGA, since I was a walk-on and the school did not pay for me to be there, I went to summer school and took a full load to graduate quicker and save money thereby.
We have all these scholarship football players doing not a damn thing all summer long. And, they obviously have damn little respect for the scholarship we gave them.
God Almighty. What is that 7 arrested already and today July 1.
Chill my brothers; this site (like many others) is incredibly biased and slightly inappropriate ON PURPOSE. That's what college sports are about, irrationally hating someone because they went/go to a school that is an hour away from yours.
As for the alcohol related UGA arrests, these kids are in college they are bound to have fun on occasion and also be caught when they shouldn't be having said fun. Having said this inappropriate touching, assault, and rape are not subjects to be mocked. But the irresponsibility of someone getting arrested for these charges is cause for concern and scorn from anyone able to read a newspaper or an online article.
If you've got a problem with what these guys say, take a second and realize that they are not always 100% serious, actually they are about 50/50 as far as I've seen, and if you can't take a joke or don't have a sense of humor then you need to find another blog.
Oh, and I'm pretty sure no one at UGA has this problem...
