Missing out

I have to agree with Hillary and think that the University of Georgia is making a rather boneheaded decision in not seeking to serve a venue for the World Cup.

However, what's even more disconcerting about this whole ordeal is the fact that it seems that UGA President Michael Adams is relying on the 'dog ate my homework' excuse as justification ...

Staffers in UGA President Michael Adams' office did not actually realize they had the letter until Tuesday, four days after the deadline to respond, university spokesman Tom Jackson said Tuesday.

I mean ... Mother of Mary. Isn't that kind of a fireable offense? I'd reckon to believe that had they actually had the appropriate documents in front of them in a timely fashion they may have opted to give this thing a go. But because they 'misplaced them' they've latched onto a cop-out rationale for this.

Missing out on millions in potential revenue because you couldn't find a letter is, well, kinda bad.

Can someone check Adams's taxes? Did he file them on time this year?
