Busy Day for Sitting In UGA-Tech Bowls

((HT: AJC- Roberson, Tucker))

First, since Georgia Tech is playing today in Shreveport against the Air Force... there really don't seem to be a lot of players left...

Three players, including starting outside linebacker Anthony Egbuniwe, were suspended from the first half of the Independence Bowl because they missed Friday night’s curfew.

The other two players are reserve defensive backs Michael Peterson and Louis Young.

Starting safety Mario Edwards was already ruled ineligible earlier this week after failing to meet Tech’s academic standards. Reserve outside linebacker Anthony Barnes and reserve defensive end Robert Hall, also failed to meet the NCAA’s academic standards.

In addition, starting wide receiver Stephen Hill was ruled out, also for failing to meet Tech’s academic standards.

Notice a trend...???
Here's Macon Telegraph reporter Coley Harvey reporting from a very windy parking lot on his keys to the game...

Now to all the Georgia stuff...
Tailback Caleb King, backup cornerback Derek Owens and reserve offensive lineman A.J. Harmon won’t play in the Liberty Bowl because of academic issues.

According to UGA, King won’t be allowed to play in the game because he violated the athletics department’s attendance policy by missing five academic-related appointments, while Owens and Harmon are ineligible for the game under NCAA academic rules. Those rules require players to earn at least six credit hours in the semester preceding a bowl.

Figures...

Here's a feature that CSTV ran when King was leaving high school asking if he was going to be the next Herschel Walker...

The HQ laughs and points an index finger in the direction of the video below...


Waste, waste, waste...
