Georgia RB Isaiah Crowell dismissed after weapons charge

(US Presswire)

About 12 hours after running back Isaiah Crowell was arrested on three weapons charges, coach Mark Richt announced the former No. 1 recruit in the country had been dismissed from the team.

"We have a dedicated and committed group of men who are working hard to prepare for the coming season," said Richt in a statement. "Our total focus will be directed toward the team and this effort."

Although the statement was brief, it didn't seem to leave room for Crowell to return.

According to the Athens Clarke County booking report, Crowell was arrested by Athens police at 3:37 a.m., at which time he was booked into the Athens Clarke County jail. The county's online jail booking report states Crowell bonded out at 12:44 p.m.

A police spokesman told UGASports that Crowell's arrest came following an early-morning stop at a police checkpoint on East Campus Road and Green Street on the Georgia campus. Four other individuals were in the car, but they were not arrested.

According to the spokesman, Crowell's car was stopped at 2:20 when an officer reported smelling the odor of marijuana. Crowell's car was searched, no marijuana was found but police did locate a 9-mm Luger handgun with the altered serial number. The gun was found under the driver's seat.

Two of the charges were felonies and the other was a misdemeanor and Crowell was originally booked on a $7,500 bond, which was raised to $9,500.

However, being dismissed from the Georgia football team might be the least of Crowell's problems. According to ESPN's Mark Schlabach, Crowell could face severe charges for his gun possession.

"Crowell facing 2-5 yrs on gun in school zone charge & 1-5 yrs on altered serial numbers, according to Georgia sentencing guidelines"

Because of potential jail time, it's hard to speculate where Crowell might try to restart his career. He rushed for 850 yards and five touchdowns in an injury-riddled first season with the Bulldogs.

But he also had trouble following the rules. He was suspended for the Vanderbilt game on Oct. 15 for unknown disciplinary reasons and again for the Nov. 5 game against New Mexico State for failing a drug test.

As of right now, this is an unfortunate end to what could have been a promising career.

Making Steve Spurrier look like a prophet.....did not want to move SC's game against Georgia to later in the season because you could always count on them having a couple of players suspended for the first couple of games each year.

My buddies and I do a football trip every year and this year we are doing South Carolina and UGA. This should help the home team.

Out of the top 7 RB recruits last year now only 2 are with their original school.

Seriously, all college players need specific training on how to not get arrested. This should happen in the summer, before fall camp. The first and main point is that you only break one law at a time. Smoking weed, no guns, pot in the car:drive the speed limit, have the need to have a gun in Athens, GA, leave it at home: punching someone: make sure you're not drunk and they are, Loud party:once you're drunk, leave. Again, the emphasis is on only one law violation at a time. Pass this along.

Beginning with the 2014 regular season a four-team playoff will decide college football’s national champion, with participants chosen by a 15-member selection committee after the final week of play.

Rejoice! After months of hovering and circling, the 12 BCS commissioners and 12 university presidents of the presidential oversight committee have officially stamped the BCS with an expiration date — Jan. 8, 2014.

That’s the day after the final BCS National Championship Game, which, ironically, will be held in the Rose Bowl — the site of the bowl that has proven a major sticking point in the long history of playoff proposals and debate in college football.

In the BCS’s place, the commissioners and presidents have completed work on a four-team playoff system that will take place a little more than a week.

More to come, obviously.

The two semifinal games will be held at two of six first-tier bowls each year.

A non-traditional host will stage the national championship game, much like the BCS National Title game had no “bowl” affiliation. This title game, however, will be bided out year-to-year, as the Super Bowl is

Now teams will just be whining that they should have been the 4th team in. Even with 8 teams there would be complaining. Imagine the 8th seed winning the playoff and being crowned national champion.

This guy was a problem from the beginning. This wasn't surprising to anybody who's watched his limited career with Georgia. He came to Georgia last year and had to be dragged to workouts, was suspended for the Vandy game last year b/c of an "unspecified team rules violation," and then was suspended four games later b/c he popped hot on a piss test. As a fan, expectations were curbed as soon as the work ethic thing hit the message boards.

There is no doubting Crowell's talent (850 yards, 4.6 YPC, played in only 7 of 12 games in just his freshman year) , but there is also no doubt about the guy's maturity level. The team is better off without him.

Georgia should be fine though. Depth at running back is ridiculous.

Agreed. I was listening to ESPN yesterday and they were talking about how the 4 will eventually go to 8...eventually to 12. With so many teams playing in the country I think it's just too difficult to appease everyone.

lets just go back to 10 bowl games and letting people vote for the champ

DS1119

To me the logical thing would be the conference winners go to the playoffs...but then you have the seeding issues...the actual strengths of the conferences, etc. The actual bowl and playoff systems are all gimmicky to me anyhow. It's almost to me either take the objectivity or the sujectivity out of the decision for a national champ. You can't have it both.

It's almost time for some real football. No scandals, no playoff talk.... just good ol' Saturday football. The weekend of September 1st will be here soon!
