Police Chief Chuck Horton said he judges his tenure at the University by the number of Tennessee games left until his retirement. So far he’s seen 27.

But, while crime has not dramatically increased during his time at the University, he said crowd behavior has changed. In fact, at this year’s Tennessee game his biggest complaint was not about the behavior of visiting fans — but about Georgia fans.

“We got more complaints from people about vomiting,” Horton said. “Some guys told me their fans were chanting ‘Clean up the vomit!’ I can’t recall it being that bad in a long time.”

Horton said he and his staff threw more than 300 people out of the Tennessee game before kickoff.

Horton also said he and his assistant walked up on two women urinating in public at the Clemson game — directly in front of the Public Safety Building that houses the police department.

“It’s disgusting. But, from our point you get use to it, … which is unfortunate,” he said. “You don’t have to be drunk and obnoxious to cheer on your team. But when you’re hitting it hard at six in the morning … that’s not something to really be proud of.”

Whereas the University Police Department has found itself working overtime, the downtown businesses are seeing nothing but profits from Georgia’s winning season.

Employees of Molly O’Shea’s said the Tennessee weekend was their best weekend so far. The bar was sold out of everything but a few bottles of wine and some jalape-o pepper appetizers.

Flanigans’ owner and manager Jason Blatz said business is “definitely good,” an increase he attributes to a football season fans “have been waiting for since the ’80s.”

“All the downtown restaurants and bars are benefitting from this exposure,” Blatz said. “You really have to hand it to the team … their hard work is a lot of the reason.”

Even though most bar owners said there has been little violence, downtown is not immune.

Last Saturday night, a man snuck into the liquor supply room at The Classic City Saloon and attempted to steal a bottle of Jagermeister, said manager Shane Benson.

“I don’t know how he expected to walk around downtown with a bottle of Jager,” Benson said. “It’s not like a plastic cup … a bottle is going to be pretty damn obvious.”

Most of the bars downtown have, or are planning to install within the next few weeks, surveillance cameras to keep an eye on the bar and ensure that IDs are being checked, Blatz said.

“We have five cameras (at Flanigans),” he said. “We can dial in and watch from home … 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.”

Blatz said when a fight breaks out, “nine times out of 10″ if the fighters can get outside they will forget what they are upset about.

“I tell my bouncers that the second they see a struggle, they should take it outside,” he said. “Let the police deal with it from there.”

Horton said usually it’s University visitors, and not the students, who cause him the most trouble during home games.

“I’m not saying students are saints,” he said. “But students generally comply pretty well with what we want … the more violent encounters aren’t with students.”
