Makes sense

Contrary to the overreaction of some commenters at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's web site, I think University of Georgia President Michael Adams's response is a measured one that is both rational and, you know, perfectly sane ...

Adams said workers picked up some 70 tons of trash after Georgia's home opener Saturday against South Carolina. Adams said crews would put out extra trash bags and containers for the next home game against Arizona State on Sept. 26 and pleaded with fans to cooperate.

"There are other things we can do [if the situation doesn't improve]," Adams said. "I don't want to start arresting people or have a heavy police presence. We simply ask people to spend a little more time to maintain our campus."

"I'm pretty hopeful ... because I think it's not just us out-of-touch administrators that are concerned. The students, alumni and faculty" have all raised concerns, Adams said. "We don't want to get a reputation like a British soccer crowd ... I hope we'll get some help out of our fans."
