Surely we aren't the only institution with incidents?

That is the question myself and some fellow UGA fans were asking. I couldn't understand why UGA issues were the only ones publicized. Now I think I was given a reason and know why. Apparently, Athens/Clark County police have an online portal where anyone arrested/ given a ticket appears in the portal. Various outlets check this portal every day looking for UGA athletes. Other schools/police departments do not have an online portal. If anyone at another school is involved with the police it is never known unless self reported, the school comes forward or it is so serious a newspaper finds out. So it is essentially swept under the rug.

Is that accurate? It answers why we never hear of incidents at other schools if true... not condoning and UGA actions but I could never figure out why we do not hear about incidents anywhere else.

4:15 ET start is odd, but I kinda like it...

I'm used to KO times like 12, 330 and 7/730 with the odd 530-6pm kick thrown in. Not sure we've had an SEC game kick at this slot in recent memory. That said, I won't mind being able to take in the first quarter or so of the 330 slate before locking in on the dawgs, and should create some nice stagger so I can flip back to those games during halftime. It always irks me when all the interesting games go to halftime around the same time.

I'm asking out of pure ignorance, but is the market rate for parking passes now $200+?

I bought tickets to this weekend's game for 8 people and am broke as a church mouse now lol. I think I could have taken my family on a beach vacation to PCB cheaper than game tickets. I understand that the premium parking passes can command $200+ but is that the going rate for other lots? The whole cost of going to games now amazes me. I go to way more road games than I do home games and am out of the loop. I just assumed we would be able to find parking spots for $50 but apparently I am still living in the 90's. Am I completely wrong in this?

What is a good alternative for parking on gameday besides buying a UGA-issued pass?

Official Austin Recommendations Thread - Food, Drink, Things To Do, Etc.

Somehow I don't believe the Vent has had a thread yet with recommendations on places to eat, drink, hang out, things to do, etc for next weekend's big trip to Austin.

Please drop your suggestions below, as these threads have been very helpful in the past when I've traveled for Dawg games (and just in general to other cities and countries).

Thx and Go Dawgs!

Can someone please explain this to me? We all recruit the same exact kids and I know for a fact that other programs

have arrangements with the campus pd and local pd to handle these situations. I have a friend of 30 years who was a kicker at Bama. I have family members who are big boosters at Auburn. Saban had a deal with local PD and campus PD where they would contact a guy at Bama when any minor crimes took place and if it were more serious Saban would even get involved and he would tell them I will punish them worse than anything you will do by locking them up. It didn't take a lot of arm-twisting cause the PD is all fellow Bama cult members anyway. Same way it was handled at Auburn too.

You can't convince me the same exact thing that we have happening with our program is not happening at Ohio State, Michigan. Texas etc.. I would think Kirby after 2 natty's would be able to make the same type of arrangement in Athens. Why hasn't he?

Big match for volleyball as they host 10K day tonight.

Very interested to see how this plays out. I know the athletic department has been pretty proactive of getting the word and and promoting this event for a bit now. Looks like they’re doing a lot of things before match tonight to help gets fans excited and bring them in.

The team has not been really dominant in conference play this season. Seems to be a bit of a disappointment so far (0-3 in conference and 6-5 overall, sitting dead last I believe).. I do think the fans will show up tonight. Will they get 10k? Probably not but a lot of Stegeman (I think) will be full. The team really needs to cash in on this promotional game and get a win tonight. I think Black is a good coach (I don’t know much about volleyball recruiting) but I think he recruits fairly well. It just seems like we’re always middle of pack to lower in the conference when it comes to conference standings. Feel like this is a big moment for the program. Can’t let fans down if they come out and show out for this event. Team needs to find a way to get the W tonight. Go Dawgs!
