“As far as being in the situation he
was in, I would say he was very intoxi

pretty professional atmosphere.”
Tom Jackson, vice president for stu

Burnett was asked to leave the box
sometime before the end of the game
because he had violated Sanford
Stadium's alcohol policy.
Burnett later told The Red St Black
that the official escorting him out of the

The stadium alcohol policy states,
“No alcoholic beverages may be brought
into Sanford Stadium,” according to
the Athletic Association website.
Anyone found in possession of alcohol
“will be subject to ejection.”
“It’s my understanding his behavior
was disruptive enough to the point he
was asked to leave,” Meg Amstuts,
executive assistant to the president,
said Monday.

Denson gets
mayor spot
inrun-off
By SARAH QIARRATANA and
DREW HOOKS
The Red & Black
By 9:15 p.m. Tuesday, Athens
Mayor-elect Nancy Denson took
the stage to make her victory
speech.
“It’s not about you, it’s not
about me, it’s about Athens,”
Denson said. “You all have con
tributed to my campaign and I
thank you.”
After leading
most of the night,
Denson's lead grew
to more than 2,000
votes, which incited
cheers from her
supporters filling
the Athens
Buffalo’s.
“We were hoping
for the best victory
tonight,” Athens
small business owner DRee Krohn
said. “I think that she’s better for
small businesses. I know the work
ethic in that family, I know how
she has worked in her own small
businesses and I know that she
will do what needs to be done to
bring better structure to the small
business encouragement for
Athens.”
Throughout her campaign,
Denson emphasized her goals:
bringing more businesses to
Athens and balancing the books.
Many supporters scattered around
Denson’s election party expressed
support for Denson because of her
fiscal experience as the Athens-
Clarke County Tax Commissioner.
“I think her fiscal sense is going
to help the city of Athens, which is
most important. All over the state
of Georgia, like the city of Athens,
is in a fiscal crisis,” said Margaret
Kaiser, Denson’s daughter and

In their six games so far, the
Lady BuUdogs have shot
50-plus percent four times,
which is made all the more
impressive because the team
hit only 50-plus percent from
the field in just two of its 34
games last season.
"We’ve been pleased with
the way we’ve shot the ball
from a percentage standpoint,"
Landers said. “Our inside play
