If you want to blame someone for overreacting, I guess you would blame McDavis. That's who sent the email saying the university was closed and employees were to leave campus (causing the most massive traffic jam I've ever seen in Athens). Just saw a story on the news with a quote from McDavis saying if he errs, he will always err in favor of the safety of students, faculty and staff. So there you go. Overreaction, probably. But a sad sign of the times.
The robbery happened in the parking lot of Station St. Apts. and the guy ran to West Green. Maybe the university made a mistake in not locking down then to try to make it easier to find him ... by the time 3 hrs had gone by and he hadn't been caught, the guy could've been anywhere.
He still hasn't been caught, but other local law enforcement officials have been called in to assist. (I get a mental picture of Barney Fife putting his bullet in his gun.) Classes are to resume as normal tomorrow.
I'm just relieved to hear the game is rescheduled. I was all pissed off because I was worried it would count against us like a forfeit!
