Sammy Watkins (allegedly) guilty of being a college student
It was announced today that — perhaps the best player for Clemson going into the 2012 season — Sammy Watkins, was arrested for possession of marijuana and Adderall and an Vyvanse. Sound the siren, call the Feds. It looks like Watkins was driving while a college student.
If you know anyone who went to college in the past dozen years, the only thing more common than weed and Adderall was booze. As a matter of fact, it would be silly to count the former two as any less available than the latter one.
The NCAA likes to say “student-athlete,” because it allows colleges to straight-up use athletes for their own gain. If you’re going to use “student-athlete” as a serious phrase, you can’t freak out about every football player associated with “demon weed.” Or Adderall, a widely-used and abused study aid — the old joke on campuses is that it’s easily found from sorority sisters.
So, before you judge Sammy Watkins, realize what he is. A student-athlete. With the “student” part coming first, with all its good and bad qualities.

OK, will Clemson do the “right thing” and get rid of Watkins right away? I seem to remember many Clemson fans saying that USC should have not given Garcia any extra chances.
DUI? NO!, DWI? NO!, Public Disturbance? NO! Possession? Yes…. Only.
Do the Campus PoPo pay some special attention to Sammy’s Cadillac? Sure.
Something smells funny about this, other than the air in the car!

Weed springs eternal but back in the 70′s the study drug of choice was RJS black beauties. Actually, you needed the weed and the beer so you could get to sleep on the weekend.
I knew I loved you. Your coming out with the DWBCS charge explains why.
