On the one hand - I feel sorry for the guy - he will lose everything - and have to start completely over.  Where else will he find a job paying anything close to 1/2 million $ per year?  Wife will take everything he has of value. 
 
On the other hand - when your job is to be a role model - and you do something that stupid - you get what you deserve. 
 
Glad I am not suppose to be a role model ... 
 
Then again - if someone was paying me 1/2 million I could do things a lot smarter than Mr Evans. 
 
1. Why couldn't he afford a limo or taxi?
 
2. Why couldn't he hire an assistant (and had Univ. of Georgia pay for the assistant) to follow him around and make sure he doesn't do anything this stupid?
 
3. Why would any school want an AD that wears women's panties - even if they are in the schools colors?
 
As dumb as the fisherman that won a $1 million fishing tournament and did not have a fishing license ...

He's gone.   And dont be surprised if you hear about his wife  
suddenly filing for divorce either..... did you see the pic of the  
tramp?  The tramp who...

"The trooper, who noted that Evans had a pair of red panties between  
his legs, asked the athletic director "what her panties were doing  
in his side of the seat. He stated, ‘She took them off and I held  
them because I was just trying to get her home.' "

SERIOUSLY!?!?!  How stupid can you be?

Evans is gone.  He may not even make it to Mid-July.  But I am  
already waiting to hear about all the hell the UGAly pres is gonna  
get because he wouldnt renew Dooleys contract and replaced him with  
Evans..

College football...  always something to talk about.  :)

Police report:  UGA AD urged officer not to arrest

By GREG BLUESTEIN Associated Press Writer
Published: Friday, July 2, 2010 at 3:43 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 2, 2010 at 3:43 p.m.
ATLANTA (AP) - University of Georgia athletic director Damon Evans  
repeatedly referred to his position at the school before his arrest  
on a drunken driving charge and asked the patrol officer if there  
was ``anything you can do without arresting me,'' according to a  
police report released Friday.

Evans told the Georgia State Patrol officer several times he was  
the school's athletic director before he was arrested late  
Wednesday and charged with DUI and failure to maintain a lane,  
according to the report. Also arrested with him was 28-year-old  
Courtney Fuhrmann, who was charged with disorderly conduct.
``I am not trying to bribe you but I am the athletic director of  
the University of Georgia,'' Evans said, according to the officer  
identified in the report as M. Cabe.
The officer also said that Evans asked to be taken to a motel  
instead of jail or to be let off with a warning. According to the  
report, Evans later said: ``I am not trying to bribe you, but is  
there anything you can do without arresting me?''
In the report, the officer noted he found a ``red pair of lady's  
panties between (Evans') legs.'' When he asked Evans, a 40-year-old  
married father of two children, what he was doing with the  
underwear, Evans said: ``She took them off and I held them because  
I was just trying to get her home,'' according to the report.
Evans told the officer that Fuhrmann was nothing more than a  
friend, according to the report. But the officer said that Fuhrmann  
later told him that the two had been seeing each other for ``only a  
week or so.''
``Just to let you know, it will be erased because he is the  
athletic director of UGA and he has that power,'' Fuhrmann told the  
officer, according to the report.
She was charged with disorderly conduct after police said she  
repeatedly ignored warnings to stay inside the 2009 BMW while the  
trooper was conducting the field sobriety test and later acting  
``combative'' in the back seat of the patrol car, according to the  
report.
``I apologize and don't want to use my influence but she is trying  
to protect me,'' the officer said Evans told him.
Fuhrmann told the Associated Press on Friday the charges against  
her are a ``misunderstanding from what the media is portraying it  
as'' but declined to speak further.
Evans and his attorney Steve Weiner did not immediately return  
calls seeking comment, but Evans apologized for the incident during  
a news conference in Athens on Thursday and said he ``failed  
miserably.''
``My behavior and my actions are not indicative of what we teach  
our student athletes,'' he said. ``My actions have put a black  
cloud over our storied program.''
School president Michael Adams said in a statement Thursday he was  
extremely disappointed, but will not decide on disciplinary  
measures until there is a full review by the university staff and  
legal office. A UGA spokesman declined to comment Friday on the  
allegations in the police report.
A bleary-eyed Evans told the officer he drank two vodka martinis at  
a restaurant and another at a nearby bar, according to the report.  
The officer noted that Evans had ``red, bloodshot, watery eyes and  
droopy eyelids'' and that he fumbled through his cards and dropped  
some of the items before he handed over his license.
``I feel pretty good,'' he told the officer, before laughing for no  
apparent reason, according to the report. The trooper said Evans  
later told him: ``We go through life and we all drink and jump in a  
car.''
Evans - a former Georgia football player - became head of the  
athletic department in 2004, replacing Vince Dooley, who was forced  
to step aside after a nasty spat with Adams. Dooley had been at the  
school for 40 years, including 25 years as athletic director.
Evans became the Southeastern Conference's first black athletic  
director and immediately shook up the department. He bolstered the  
department's bottom line but also reduced the number of associate  
and assistant athletics directors and fired three of Dooley's  
longtime lieutenants.
He was the public face of the school's athletic department, and  
starred in a taped message played at every home football game that  
urges fans not to drive under the influence. ``If you drink and  
drive, you lose,'' he says.
Evans, who is set to appear in Atlanta Municipal Court on July 12,  
was arrested minutes before a new five-year contract extension that  
raised his annual pay to $550,000 was to take effect. By the time  
he was escorted to the Atlanta jail, the officer said in the  
report, Evans began to ``cry uncontrollably.''
