Sigh. Can't the season start already?
This is that time of the year when college football coaches and fans are just praying their teams can enter the season intact. Every program suffers casualties during the off-season: injuries, non-qualifying signees, and my favorite, off-season arrests.
Georgia's Washaun Ealey becomes just the latest in a long and distinguished line of Dawgs to be arrested and charged with an array of minor traffic violations. Early this morning, Ealey allegedly hit a parked car while driving a vehicle that wasn't his. Apparently, he was warned by a UGA Parking Services employee not to leave the scene before the police arrived, but fled the scene regardless.
You can read the details of the incident here; I'm not writing a recap. Like every other Dawg fan, I'm concerned with the impact Ealey's arrest and subsequent punishment will have on the season. Bottom line: this is a MINOR criminal offense. Ealey should be reprimanded accordingly.
No doubt Ealey will serve at least a one-game suspension and have the chance to appreciate a few sunrises over Sanford Stadium. I'm all about making an example of a player when this stuff happens, but I'm interested in hearing what Bulldog Nation thinks should happen.
Comment below; let us here at Sports Down South know how you'd handle the Ealey situation.

Running should be a given. The dawg in me says a 1 game suspension is fine but I think he will get 2 games. Maybe Richt should wait and see what Spurrier does with his 9 before he decides on Ealey!
