VIDEO: Georgia WR George Pickens Ejected for Throwing Punch at Georgia Tech Defender During Brawl
By Mark Powell
Leave it to a freshman to lose his cool in a rivalry game. Unfortunately for Georgia, it's one of their top receiving threats for Jake Fromm. George Pickens was ejected after throwing a punch at a Georgia Tech defender, stemming from the same play in which they got tangled up during a fade route to the end zone. The resulting ejection could force Pickens to sit out the first half of the Dawgs' next game against LSU in the SEC Championship.

Now, the SEC doesn't have to honor the rule which would have Pickens sit out the first half in next week's game, and expect Georgia to fight the decision tooth and nail.
George Pickens with an all-time stupid decision to get himself ejected and compromise his status for the game Georgia must win next week. Unbelievable.

Nonetheless, consider this another example of some less-than-clean, ol' fashioned hate.
