More problems at Georgia

I've been someone who dismissed a bunch of Georgia's offseason arrests as "boys being boys" but man, they're really piling up over there. Two players, Donavon Baldwin and Jeff Henson -- both of whom had already been arrested on alcohol-related charges within the last year -- were involved in some more trouble involving booze last night.

Baldwin and freshman Marcus Dowtin were both apparently hit in the face with bottles in a bar fight downtown early Saturday morning and had to seek medical treatment. Henson was arrested separately for public intoxication and public urination.

They've had eight players arrested this year: offensive linemen Clint Boling, Justin Anderson and Trinton Sturdivant; fullback Fred Munzenmaier, defensive back Baldwin, snapper Henson, defensive end Jeremy Lomax and defensive end Michael Lemon.

Lemon (who was also involved in the brawl early Saturday) faces felony battery charges and has been dismissed from the team. Charges against Lomax were dismissed. Mark Richt suspended Baldwin and Henson indefinitely tonight. None of these are especially debilitating arrests, but they've really got to get it together if they're going to come close to living up to their promise this year.

&nbsp &nbsp I wonder if UGA's started camp? Getting wasted, then sweating blood on the practice field early the next morning? I can't even imagine...

&nbsp &nbsp I'll also have to say that I was really worried when Christa Turner stepped down from the Auburn blogging business, but this blog has been a pretty excellent replacement! I'm enjoying it a lot. Particularly good were the comments on Gene Stallings and that family's loss this weekend. Great stuff!
