Hifi--take this white trash type of post to the Florida board. Carter doesn't matter---and it's just your hard on against UGA due to being a Gator fan.
BTW--you sure weren't quick to post Carl Johnson--OL on CURRENT Gator team's arrest were you? I don't expect it--but if you are going to be this white trash typical Gator--then be consistent and post about the mistakes the Gators make too.

Certainly no inconsistency intended RDF. Carl Johnson's ex girlfriend had requested a restraining order and a temporary restraining order was issued. A week later, he got on a bus and sat down, diagonally across from her. He never said anything. The people on the bus that neither had any comments, and said that they didn't notice anything unusual. One lady said that he "pretty much stared at the floor." His ex-girlfriend said that he looked at her "menacingly." When the bus got to "The Hub," they both got off.
Those are the facts.
Incidentally, there were no incidents while on the bus or immediately after getting off. In fact, they were each heading their separate ways. She apparently waved down a UPD officer and it went from there.
Now the opinions: the Hub is one of the 3 busiest stops on Campus and is certainly THE Busiest for fooball players, due to its proximity to the athletic dorms. That he got off at that stop certainly means very little.
A temporary restraining order is issued until both sides can tell their story in front of the appropriate authorities. That being said, it is binding, and as the law is written, it is his obligation to comply, not hers. So when he gets on the bus, it is his responsibility to get off as soon as possible. Since several stops went by, he was in violation, regardless of anything else that did/didn't go on.
My opinion, is that he was intending to go to the hub and did just that. Did he understand that doing so would be a violation of the restraining order? I don't know, but my gut instinct is yes.
My far more major concerns are with the claimed behavior during their relationship. It sounds to me like he is a loose cannon. She said that he said stuff like wanting to shoot someone who deserved it. She told him not to and that he would go to jail. He responded that at least it would then be worth it. I don't know the circumstances, nor do I even know if such comments are accurate, but my gut instinct is that she wouldn't have made up such outlandish comments out of thin air.
All of that being said, I am not confident that Mr. Johnson will ever suit up for the Gators again.
Fair?
As for Quincy Carter, you are way off base. As a former National Spotlight athlete, he is newsworthy. The fact that he was a Ga. Alum is irrelevent to that. I haven't posted any random story on a former Bulldog that wasn't a Nationally recognized personality have I? No, I haven't. Your response, however, is somewhat predictable.
If truth be told, I kind of like Quincy Carter. I'm not really sure why, but it probably has to do with some interview I heard in the past, or article that I read about him. Either way, there's certainly no animosity, as I don't think he ever beat the Gators. If he did, it was only once.
