I was listening to 680 today, and they started a discussion of the UGA spring game. I didn’t catch who they were interviewing regarding it, but the subject of the off-season arrests came up. The interviewee basically stated that he was sure that Kirby impressed upon them the fact that student athletes at UGA are held to a higher standard of character than almost any the school around. There was no reaction to that from the radio staff, but I almost spit my coffee onto the windshield.

I suppose only having 3 players arrested during the off-season is an improvement for them.

I’m pretty sure they are up to 6 or 7 so far, and there’s over 4 months to go until the season starts. They have almost double the number of players arrested since January than GT has had this entire decade.

It’s also incredibly more difficult to get arrested in Atlanta than Athens. You have to seriously screw up in Atl where there’s cops with nothing better to do in Athens.

Why are you listening to talk radio? Don’t play their game - it’s full of morons who do 5-10 min worth of research. Educated, enlightened individuals listen to podcasts or Audible.

I'm with you on not listening to talk radio, but let's not pretend that the barrier to entry for podcasts is anything more than an internet connection and microphone.

I'm not pretending anything. All you need to be a sportstalk radio guy is someone else's microphone and their radio tower. Intelligence isn't required for radio or podcasts.

Podcasts require more deliberate engagement. You have to download individual podcasts / episodes. Talk radio is far more passive. Not to mention, podcasts (as the new entrant for listening audiences) has to actually garner advertising $$ to survive. Therefore, only the good ones survive. Whereas the incumbent (talk radio) has less of an impetus to change.
