Claims he
wrote song
By BRIANA GERDEMAN
The Red & Black
An Athens man accused
the University Athletic
Association of using a song
he wrote without compen
sating him, according to a
civil action.
He claims his song,
played at University foot
ball games, has caused the
football team to win.
The plaintiff, Louis
Edward Williams, said in
the action that when he
was in junior high school,
he wrote a song—" Dooley’s
Junkyard Dawgs” that
has since been played at
University football games.
He said the song is
incorrectly attributed to
James Brown, and the
Athletic Association has
not given him credit or any
payment for the song. He
says he is owed tens of mil
lions of dollars.
When asked for com
ment, Williams refused.
The University has
caused him “harms, hurts,
damages and incorrigible
and irreparable injuries” by
using his song, Williams
wrote in the documents.
In addition to the
Athletic Association, the
action accuses several
other important University
figures, including the
University Athletic
Association, former foot
ball coach and athletic

By POLINA MARINOVA

It takes more than an ID to get
into some bars downtown.
Blake Pippin, a senior from
Thomaston, said he has been
turned away from bars for his
clothing, asked to step down after
dancing on a block and was
recently sprayed with water by an
owner while he was wearing a
Halloween costume.
Asa result, Pippin and more
than 500 others are part of a

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
This was supposed to be
the year the tide turned.
Georgia was the
favorite and playing the
best it had played all
season, riding high off a
three-game winning
streak, facing the most
vulnerable Florida team
in recent memory sans
their beloved Georgia
killer, Tim Tebow.
Although it took
more than the usual 60
minutes for the first
time In the game’s his
tory, Florida delivered
another devastating loss
to Georgia for the
18th time in the last 21
years—pulling Georgia’s
hopes of winning the
SEC East off of life sup
port.

Facebook. The event encourages
patrons of Fahrenheit bar, former
ly known as Firehouse, to go to
other bars in Athens that “do not
discriminate.”
“To me, it was Just about
respect. And yes, I am a gay man
and you might not accept me, but
you need to respect me,” he said.
“I respect them because they’re
not a gay ban but then at the
same time, if you didn’t want me

that before I got in there. There

handled what they did without
the physical aspect of it."
Last week. Pippin was wearing
a Cruella de VII costume when he
entered Fahrenheit. He went
downstairs and saw the bar was
empty, so he turned to leave. As
he was leaving, he said he was
“sprayed with water numerous
times,” by a man Pippin said was
the bartender and owner of
Fahrenheit.
“I turned around to leave and I
felt something hit me,” Pippin
said. “So I turned around to see
what it was, and then it hit me in
to swallow.”
It was a loss that fol

Bulldogs cope with
‘heartbreaMng loss’
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
Greg McGarity’s face
summed up the outcome
of Saturday’s game.
Georgia’s first-year ath
letic director was leaning
against the wall of the
Bulldogs’ tunnel inside
Everßank Field with his
arms folded and his feet
crossed in the minutes fol
lowing the Bulldogs’ 34-31
overtime loss to the
Florida Gators.
His absent-minded
stare expressed the same
emotion that I’m sure was
felt throughout Georgia’s
locker room disappoint
ment, heartbreak and frus
tration. He stood still, by
himself, as Florida fans
celebrated in the stands
and Florida players
danced on the field.
That same heartbreak
on McGarity’s face was
also evident on the faces
of the Georgia players as
they solemnly filed ofTthe
field and headed toward
the locker room after forc
ing an overtime period for
the first time in the storied

the face. I got ticked. I was like,
‘What the hell’s going on? Why
are you shooting me with water?’
He kept on doing It to where I
left.”
He called the bar the next day
to talk to the owner, but he said
his call has not been returned.
When contacted by The Red &
Black, Brian Durden, bartender
and owner of Fahrenheit, declined
comrrient.
Pippin said he has been asked
by Fahrenheit management to

rivalry between the two
SEC schools.
Comerback Brandon
Boykin said it was the
most heartbreaking loss
he’s suffered in his football
career.
“Losing to Florida, we
were right there,” Boykin
said. “This is the game
that everybody waits for.
This was our chance to
contend for the SEC East.
And just to lose it like that
really, really sucks.”
Of the five losses
Georgia has suffered this
season, the players
seemed most upset after
losing to Mississippi State.
But the pure heartbreak
factor was most palpable
in post-game interviews
Saturday.
