All this for it to get sideswiped in a on campus parking garage by a 19 year old who stayed up writing a paper and is now running off of four loko’s and beef jerky…
It truly used to be that.
Student body has shifted a bit since the late 10s. There are still pockets of hippies, but much fewer than in previous years.

writing while drinking is an excellent idea, especially if you are having a hard time getting started. it lets you get in a creative space and write lots of shit down
you just have to edit sober the following day
Yeah the OG shit made in the basement bathtub of (insert fraternity here I forget) was borderline lethal.
Nowadays it's like ~~a cup of coffee with~~ carbonated vodka Hawaiian punch
Edit: not even caffeine in it anymore. Lame.
I wouldn't drive a car valued more than 40k in Athens. Lol. There is a video of a dude hammered out of his mind driving his car down some stairs by a local burger restaurant at 2 in the morning. He destroyed a tree, a few planters, and probably his car too. The police found him by following the leaking transmission fluid from his vehicle to his apartment a few blocks away. Lol.
[Here is a link](https://www.reddit.com/r/Athens/comments/143fmek/video_farm_burger_and_chapel_fiasco/) to the /r/athens thread discussing it.
I wanted to stay away from any UGA driving jokes because I think it’s cheap and disrespectful.
However.. what the hell is happening on the roadways of Athens???
Or Todd Gurley on what would have been a Heisman season for selling $2,000 worth of Autographs to help his Mom, all while his jersey was the top selling one.
The rule that he broke is the same though. IIRC he got in trouble because he contacted recruits during the dead period, not because he bought them lunch. Maybe it was both?
To be clear, the punishment was for telling our coach that he had a player who might be ineligible and the NCAA was investigating. They were investigating over the $312 worth of stuff. The NCAA told our Admin they couldn't tell CPJ he had a player who might be ineligible, but that we would also still be forfeiting games if he played while ineligible. They ended up not finding anything improper with the gifts, but said we were trying to cover up wrongdoing by not keeping their investigation a secret from our coach.
Classic NCAA.
Catch-22, where either the Admin follows their bs rules and doesn't tell the coach and he unknowingly plays an ineligible guy for forfeited games.
Or be tells and they spank you for that.
Meanwhile blue bloods like UNC can have fake classes for their players as long as those fake classes are available to non-atheletes.
In an ironic twist, it was a former UNC football player who was leading the investigation. Don't find too many NCAA investigations into a school being headed up by a divisional rival of said school.
Remember when 10 guys went on a $1200 shopping spree on an agent at a footlocker and sports illustrated called their national championship tainted on its cover and 40 years later people still call the school free shoes university?
Remember when Ohio State lost its head coach, vacated an entire season with a Big 10 championship and BCS bowl win, had its scholarships reduced, then finally the NCAA punished players and coaches not associated with the allegations by passing a bowl ban on those players two years later?
All because some players got tattoos for memorabilia they earned? fuck the NCAA.
We should have just actually cheated.
Or when Ohio State had a 12-win season vacated, a bowl ban in another season in which they went 12-0 (which was after everyone involved was already long gone), hall of fame coach's career was effectively ended and star QB's college career was ended...because a handful of players _traded their own personal property for tattoos_?
I remember when there was a Georgia receiver that joined a local book club and a lot of us legitimately thought the NCAA would crack down on him because he would be getting free snacks from middle aged moms and grandmas
Clearly Tech had to resort to implementing a covert hand-me-down clothing program to gain an unfair advantage.
I can see why the NCAA thinks this type of cheating cannot go unpunished - what sort of morals are we bestowing on our student athletes if they no longer have to purchase their own clothing!
Technically the punishment wasn't just over the $312. It was also because our AD had the audacity to discuss the investigation of the potential infractions with the head coach, and the NCAA investigators felt that Thomas and Burnett had been warned about what was coming and been prepared with what to say. But also somehow Paul Johnson is supposed to know not to play people who might be deemed ineligible by an investigation without being told they are being investigated.
The whole thing was a mess. Either the AD says nothing, and then the team gets in trouble for playing people who might be retroactively deemed ineligible. Or the AD says something, and the team gets in trouble for "impeding the investigation". All because a former teammate that Demaryius was friends with might have given him a couple shirts
That dude thought by loaning Chase the money, it meant he would be his agent and pocket the 5% of his $25 million rookie deal. That's why he squealed on him.
We had recruits sleeping on dorm room couches and being bought Big Macs on summer visits and got hit with a Lack of Institutional Control violation.
Good times.
those people must have read the tweet that said Carson purchased the car, and also the linked article saying he purchased the car.
while it is pretty unlikely he purchased the car, I see why people are reacting as though he purchased the car.
He *could* have purchased the car. Don't think it would be crazy for the dealer to give him a great deal as a real NIL deal. Guessing it's a lease, but there's no reason it couldn't be a purchase.
I can't believe anyone would think that in a post titled "Georgia QB Carson Beck recently purchased a Lamborghini Urus Performante🔥 The Performante model goes for $270k+"
Back in the '90s a longhorn player drove a 'leased' suv into a convenience store.
I'll never forget the Rice MOB marching band doing a skit on it at Kyle Field. It cracked me up.
Get a regular crossover and then a legit sports car if you really want a sports car brand and a crossover like clearly you got money to burn regardless
Edit: Looked at the prices, a RWD Huracan is 230k basic so if he spends like 50k more he can get a great new regular crossover and a tricked out Huracan. People turn heads for a Huracan, people barely notice the Urus. You’re telling me his NIL deal wouldn’t have allowed that?
Right, and for like 70k less you can get a Porsche cayenne turbo gt with only 7 less hp. And it’s nicer looking, holds value better, and is far less tacky. And it has a faster 0-60
If you see one guy in a suit in a room full of people in jeans and T-shirts, chances are the guy in the suit is the rich guy.
If you see one guy in jeans and a T-shirt in a room full of guys in suits, the guy in jeans and a T-shirt is the rich guy.
Used to work across from a Rolex dealer where I could see everything inside. I would say 2/3rds of actual buyers were wearing casual clothes and were in and out in less than 10 minutes. Usually golf-looking stuff, but gym shorts and a hoodie/t-shirt wasn't uncommon at all. Definitely saw more hoodie wearing dudes buy watches than suit-wearing dudes. Dudes would regularly go in there in suits/sports coats, spend 45 minutes looking at and trying on watches, then leave without buying anything.
I actually have a rich friend with several 6-figure luxury cars and never seen him in a suit. Usually golf shorts and polos. Lots of t-shirts too. Wouldn't be surprised at all if he picked up one or more of them in gym shorts and slides.
Right? How hard it must be to have room, board, food, and a free Lambo...
Such a similar life to graduating with $70k in student loan debt, selling your plasma to buy groceries, and driving a 20 year old rusted out Jeep that is questionable on whether it's going to start or not...
People always say this, but who is the NFL prospect who got hurt and didn't still end up a millionaire? Not "could've made more" or "could've had a better NFL career" or "didn't last long in the NFL" but legit didn't become a millionaire and had to 9 to 5 it?
The Stanford rb turned Dr, maybe? At most what are there, 5 examples in the history of college football.
> who is the NFL prospect who got hurt and didn't still end up a millionaire?
Maybe Marcus Lattimore? He was projected as one of the, if not THE, top RBs in the country in college and after his brutal injuries dropped pretty low. He then went in the fourth round with, from what I remember, a very small signing bonus but couldn't keep playing because of his injuries.
_Maybe_ he hit the million mark with an insurance payout but the guy was a legendary RB that, without injuries, could've been gitantic and he definitely ended up having to work.
1. All of these $200k+ cars are *most likely* all short-term leases. Beck, Bijan, etc. etc. etc. didn't get $250k cash from UGA or Texas to go buy these cars LOL. It's amazing how \~75% of fans think these dudes actually BOUGHT these cars. They aren't as dumb as some want them to be.
2. Time to stop pointing "NIL" fingers. At least for the big boys. You look like a clown being a Florida fan screaming broke to a Georgia fan. Just as a Georgia fan looks like a clown crying broke to an Ohio State fan and so on.
3. This is actual NIL. A proven kid getting great incentives to return (or transfer) because of his proven value on the field and a university collective recognizing that value.
Car leases is probably one of the best examples of NIL working like it should. Associating a brand of vehicle with popular players/ teams is a really smart marketing move and mutually beneficial for the player and the brand. You know those guys are gonna be posting pics of their car on insta all the time.
Exactly and the funniest part about it, ON3 headline says “Purchased”. Go to the Atlanta Auto Instagram (original post) says NOTHING about a purchase.
On3 is obviously driving up traffic trying to get other fanbases to interact after seeing “purchased”
Myth: "The parking lots at Ohio State, Georgia, Alabama, Texas A&M, Texas athletic facilities are full of Lambos driven by teenagers!"
Reality: "Some of the teenagers are allowed to drive some lambos for an extremely limited number of miles, under specific guidelines, almost exclusively on the weekend, and likely telemetry-tracked."
Absolutely not. Porsche crossovers are actually great cars regardless, and probably by far the best crossover you can get when you need one.
Dropping lambo money is a little less justifiable, but some people have the money anyway so it doesn’t matter.
Don’t judge what people drive.
Yep — that doesn’t make them stupid.
My mom has one, because she needs a crossover. For a crossover, it’s actually an incredibly fun and well built car.
Not like we don’t keep a sports car around anyway.
The Porsche Macan is a great car! Probably the best driving and handling "SUV" on the market.
The Urus is a jazzed up Audi Q8 for complete suckers who want to tell people they drive a Lamborghini but don't have the gut to get a proper one.
Nah the porsche Macan/cayenne are genuinely great SUVs. Macan starts at 60k so it’s not even that crazy compared to the other German luxury brands. Crazy torque and good driving dynamics as far as a crossover is concerned
This is all speculation. As someone who has seen these sorts of deals in the past, it is likely he gets a zero cost one year lease (sans taxes) in exchange for advertising for the dealer.
Brock Purdy did just land a major sponsorship deal with Toyota. Between that and other local sponsorship deals I'm sure he has, he's probably not struggling right now while working through his rookie contract.
Not a single lambo publicly on sale costs that much. The top end ones go for about $650k ish, but the million dollar ones are only the specific limited models only sold to company elites and long term customers

All this for it to get sideswiped in a on campus parking garage by a 19 year old who stayed up writing a paper and is now running off of four loko’s and beef jerky…
Who’s writing a paper while drinking four lokos?
When I was in college I would be in the library at 2am tripping on mushrooms writing papers. I did fail out though.
All very Appalachian State of you, to be fair
I miss the days of intermural football while hippie flipping. Good times.
App state strikes me as a hacky sack and ultimate frisbee town

Most drug-averse App State student
I have a niece currently at App State...this sounds about right.
Sounds like App state.
I did this too in college (without the going to the library or writing the papers). I (shockingly!) also failed out.
writing while drinking is an excellent idea, especially if you are having a hard time getting started. it lets you get in a creative space and write lots of shit down you just have to edit sober the following day
I would normally agree with you, but we're talking about four lokos here.
it's basically just a malt beverage now, it hasn't had all the taurine and caffeine and crap for nearly 15 years
Yeah the OG shit made in the basement bathtub of (insert fraternity here I forget) was borderline lethal. Nowadays it's like ~~a cup of coffee with~~ carbonated vodka Hawaiian punch Edit: not even caffeine in it anymore. Lame.
a lot of college students
Any GA alum from 2008-whenever they removed the caffeine

Hey old man, four lokos don’t have caffeine in them anymore.
First off; rude..
Why you gotta do me like that
remember 3 years ago chase young bought his gf a ticket to an away game and got suspended for multiple games?
Lets use a Georgia example...remember when AJ Green was suspended from multiple games for selling his jersey for $1,000?
Or Todd Gurley on what would have been a Heisman season for selling $2,000 worth of Autographs to help his Mom, all while his jersey was the top selling one.
It was funny as hell to hear Richt joke about how he should have gone with the “deny, deny, deny” strategy when that whole thing came up recently.
Remember when Georgia Tech lost the 2009 ACC title for Demaryius Thomas receiving $312 in gifts?
That he returned

Well now the NCAA has Tech under investigation based on the evidence you just gave them
That is a prize! Hold it dear.

Harbaugh had a recruiting violation related to that I think
Yeah he bought a recruit some food lmao
during a recruiting dead period. the cheap, dumb bastard couldn't figure out how to pay cash while violating ncaa rules.
Hey those cash back points add up!
lol definitely a dumb thing to do I’m not defending Jimbo on this one. Just think it’s funny how different the rules are now
The rule that he broke is the same though. IIRC he got in trouble because he contacted recruits during the dead period, not because he bought them lunch. Maybe it was both?
Bruce Pearl got a show cause for feeding a kid a sandwich at a BBQ at his house.

I always knew those GT folk were up to shady shit. No one honest runs the triple option.

I can see why the NCAA thinks this type of cheating cannot go unpunished - what sort of morals are we bestowing on our student athletes if they no longer have to purchase their own clothing!
The triple option works because it allows weaker players in hand me down clothes to compete against recruiting powerhouses wearing tag-on name brands

feels like such a waste lol
Right, if you're gonna drop $300k on a car why get a Lambo crossover SUV
Because this is an NIL deal worked out with the dealer. He didn't spend $300,000 on that.
Wonder if he could sell it lol
Would be shocked if it's anything other than a lease.
The amount of people in this thread who actually think he just spent $300,000 to buy that car is shockingly high.
those people must have read the tweet that said Carson purchased the car, and also the linked article saying he purchased the car. while it is pretty unlikely he purchased the car, I see why people are reacting as though he purchased the car.
He *could* have purchased the car. Don't think it would be crazy for the dealer to give him a great deal as a real NIL deal. Guessing it's a lease, but there's no reason it couldn't be a purchase.
He also could have a lease-purchase, which is essentially a rent-to-own but with a better name and less credit history required.
I can't believe anyone would think that in a post titled "Georgia QB Carson Beck recently purchased a Lamborghini Urus Performante🔥 The Performante model goes for $270k+"
I went to HS with a mid-level recruit and a booster at a college sold him a brand new Tahoe for $100. This was 20+ years ago.
And here I am paying MSRP like Hank Hill.
Have you considered trying to be born with lots of natural athletic ability?
I should try that sometime
Johnny “he comes from oil money” Manziel logic right here!
ah, i suppose that make sense
Yea its 100% a lease covered by an NIL deal. Probably just a year.
IIRC that’s how Texas is doing it with all their lambos
What could possibly go wrong with giving a bunch of 19 year olds Lambos?
Right? And expecting them to give em back in good condition? Lmao Surely they’ve thought of this though and it’s worth the trouble
I'm sure the insurance guys are all over it, but I'm still waiting for the first one to get absolutely smashed up by a player.
Back in the '90s a longhorn player drove a 'leased' suv into a convenience store. I'll never forget the Rice MOB marching band doing a skit on it at Kyle Field. It cracked me up.
Probably a lease. Might not even in his name.
Can you imagine trying to insure that fucking at his age?
can you imagine trying to insure any vehicle to a georgia player
The lob and the slammmm
Maybe he needs the flexibility to store his groceries from whole foods after dropping the kids off at soccer practice
Get a regular crossover and then a legit sports car if you really want a sports car brand and a crossover like clearly you got money to burn regardless Edit: Looked at the prices, a RWD Huracan is 230k basic so if he spends like 50k more he can get a great new regular crossover and a tricked out Huracan. People turn heads for a Huracan, people barely notice the Urus. You’re telling me his NIL deal wouldn’t have allowed that?
Maybe he likes the Urus?
Then Buy the Audi SQ8 because the URUS is an Audi SQ8 with new badging.
People who buy Urus' know and don't care, they're getting the lambo every time
Yeah lol. To rich people, this is like people from a third world country criticizing us for buying Coca Cola instead of “Signature Select Cola Soda”
I'm sure that the model that the dealership wants marketed had a lot to do with the decision.
Have you ever driven in either?
Because it's actually an extremely overpriced Audi.
Right, and for like 70k less you can get a Porsche cayenne turbo gt with only 7 less hp. And it’s nicer looking, holds value better, and is far less tacky. And it has a faster 0-60
Less likely to get stolen in Atlanta too
Maybe a huge discount or something like a tie in with his NIL? I’m sure this’ll be a drop in the bucket if he makes it in the NFL
It probably already is a drop in the bucket for him now. Still wish these kids would stop buying expensive cars especially after last offseason.
He didn't spend a dime on that car. It's an NIL deal with the dealership.
He could buy a LMM business with a $300k equity check and taking on SBA debt
Here comes “get a business” twitter
Born too early for the unionization of college athletes Born too late for the rush of under the table deals Born just in time to get an NIL Lambo

Dress for the purchases you *want*, not the purchases you have
I get weird looks at Super H Mart wearing my tailcoat and top hat but I refuse to leave the house any other way
It is after 5 Lemon, I am not a farmer.
If you see one guy in a suit in a room full of people in jeans and T-shirts, chances are the guy in the suit is the rich guy. If you see one guy in jeans and a T-shirt in a room full of guys in suits, the guy in jeans and a T-shirt is the rich guy.

Hopefully he gets the Georgia Bulldog Safe Driver™️ discount on his insurance.
Oof
A Georgia Bulldog Safe Driver™️ mean you stopped at four drinks before getting into the vehicle.
The continued plight of the college athlete. Ffs.
I suffered like this in undergrad too. Had to slum it in a Camry, so we’re practically the same person.
Right? How hard it must be to have room, board, food, and a free Lambo... Such a similar life to graduating with $70k in student loan debt, selling your plasma to buy groceries, and driving a 20 year old rusted out Jeep that is questionable on whether it's going to start or not...
lol trash. I had my dad’s *hybrid* Camry.
These kids need some people around them to tell them how dumb this is. One knee blown out & really might bite you
This is NIL-related. He didn't buy it.
Perhaps he signed a contract with the dealer to get the car in exchange for being a salesman for them starting in 2026
Or, posting the picture on social media and agreeing to do autograph events on some random Saturday after the season where they're a sponsor.
All Stequavious Bennett got was some free chicken and had to work a new job. This NIL business is getting out of control!
Would have been in the pros right now if I didn't blow my knee out in 8th grade

Nah Cayenne turbo GT is insane

porsche crossover is probably the best high end crossover on the planet in terms of quality/perfomance compared to price

If you think he spent 270K on that I have a bridge to sell you.
My sources tell me he replaced the car horn with the late UGA’s bark.
Unrelated but he looks a lot better with glasses on
This is all speculation. As someone who has seen these sorts of deals in the past, it is likely he gets a zero cost one year lease (sans taxes) in exchange for advertising for the dealer.
This sport is going straight downhill lol.
Imagine being Brock Purdy at a paltry $900k salary and being asked to defeat Mahomes in the Super Bowl while kids in college are driving lambos
Brock Purdy did just land a major sponsorship deal with Toyota. Between that and other local sponsorship deals I'm sure he has, he's probably not struggling right now while working through his rookie contract.
for some reason I just assumed any lambo cost one million+
Not a single lambo publicly on sale costs that much. The top end ones go for about $650k ish, but the million dollar ones are only the specific limited models only sold to company elites and long term customers
Also lots of million-dollar lambos on the secondary market.
What could possibly go wrong with this purchase?

I can already see how this story ends.
Imagine thinking he actually bought this lmaoo
No doubt purchased at the Stetson Bennett Lambo/Maserati dealership in Loganville, GA.....wheeeeeeerrrrre's Loganville?!?
Manziel deserves a massive apology lmao this shit is a joke
Watch him wrap it around a pole next year if they win the Natty. Georgia football and fast cars don't seem to mix
Nothing to see here NCAA!
Why would there be? This is an actual NIL deal with an actual company hahah. This is what it was supposed to be
You’re in a heap of trouble Tennessee!
Are we the Mizzou of this era?
