Oops

This blog originates in Georgia, so is it lame if we quote Gone With the Wind? Yes, it is, but it's happening. Apologies.
"There's nothing I hate more than waste, and that's what this is, a waste." That's Rhett Butler talking about the Civil War, then later saying the same thing about this story:

The dismissal of wide receiver Josh Jarboe came after the player appeared in a 74-second, profanity-laced video in which he rapped about guns and shooting people. The video is circulating on the Internet and appears to have been filmed in a university athletic dormitory.

If Josh Jarboe were a duck, right now he'd look like this.

This same quote attributable to so many talented young men with so much to lose (see: Ryan P. of Jacksonville State!). Smooth move there, Josh. File this one under the "18-year-old kids are idiots" tab. You're probably saying, "Gee, if I were a prized recruit with a full scholarship who got in trouble just a few months ago for bringing a gun to school, keeping a low profile would probably be a good idea. So I would." No you wouldn't. You'd be 18, and stupid. When you're that age and male, you're dumb. That's science.

We'll see who picks ol' Josh up. And by that, we mean we'll see who survives the clawing, poking and slapfighting match that Urban Meyer and Nick Saban will have running towards Jarboe. Of course, since Saban signed 58 players this year, we give the edge to Meyer.

As long as it's not Richt.
