Considering all the comments on the Georgia site linked keep talking about how Georgia has this new "savage" mentality, I think this is the exact culture they are trying to create.  But if you have to tell everyone how "savage" you are, then in reality, you are not really that savage.  I also think that Kirby is going to be running a Saban-eque dirty ass program, so this mentality will be fostered, and you say sour grapes, but I say, a team coming off a shitty 8-5 campaign, having the #3 class is suspect in my opinion as Georgia recruits well, but not at the level we are seeing.

You had me right up to the "bit of sour grapes" Would I or many on this site want him to further represent UM ? Hell no. Furthermore if Harbaugh didn't dismiss him from the team that would definetly cause me to cock an eyebrow. Because of the personal fouls, barfights and the issues with team members that would undoubtably crop up with a kid who clearly has anger issues or if not, he was told to do this by ta-da the Ga. coaching staff. Which would give validity to the people summarily blaming the coaching staff.

Mark Richt ran a pretty clean program and suspended players for good reason.  The example cited is a good one because simultaneously Manziel got literally nothing for the same exact offense.

Historically however, Georgia is one of the dirtiest programs in the NCAA.  This is a program with 6 major NCAA infractions.  They were kind of dirty in the 80's, pretty dirty in the 90's, and up to the early 00's.  Boosters paying players was their largest problem.  I would guess that under Smart we will see a return to the norm for Georgia.

and perhaps there is not a lot of camaraderie built yet on the teams, but I can't believe a teammate didn't go over and physically confront LeCunt. Punk-assed move.

And then laugh as they smack Georgia over the course of their careers. A play like that deserves a dust up afterwards. Smith beat him on the previous reps and shouldve beat his ass after this play.

Irving-Bey, McCaffrey, Thomas etc better be over there ready to throw hands. There is a line drawn between not acting like a goon and also not getting treated like a lil bitch. Somebody should have stepped up for Smith and if I'm coaching that WR group....I'm laying into them. Nobody ever did that to a reciever of mine without having to separate players afterwards.

The kid should be sent home ASAP or at least suspended for the first half of the game.  I guess we can call them the Georgia Bull-y-dogs from here on out.  Thugs.

It was a dick move and completely unnecessary, but I'm also not surprised highly competitive high schoolers on a football field would act that way. I assume he offered a flippant apology afterwards and then will move on.

Those two may have had some words prior to the snap. I don't know what was said, if anything, but Smith better have said something bad about LeCount's momma for him to react like that. 

If that was just over the kid de-committing, LeCount went way over the line. I would expect Coach Smart is dialing LeCount's cell phone and letting him know that if that ever happens in any one of his practices the moment he gets on campus, his ass is getting thrown out for the day.
