There is an ongoing Athens-Clarke County Police investigation into allegations of rape leveled against Georgia Bulldog football player Adam Anderson. Anderson is 22 years old, a senior linebacker from Rome. The rape complaint comes from a 21 year-old woman who says it happened one week ago. Anderson, who has not been arrested or charged, has been suspended and will not play in tomorrow’s home game against the Missouri Tigers. Anderson has been projected as a top round pick in next year’s NFL Draft.

We are on the eve of the final home conference game for the Georgia Bulldog football team: the top-ranked Bulldogs will host the unranked Missouri Tigers in an SEC East showdown set for Saturday, with a noon kick and television on ESPN.
