Sammy Watkins arrested last night. No details yet. But if he's suspended for that 1st game, huge break for Auburn.

ETA:

quote:

"Clemson University police arrested two students on drug-related charges early Friday. Samuel B. Watkins IV, 18, a freshman communication studies major from Fort Myers, Fla., and member of the football team, was charged with possession of a controlled substance and simple possession of marijuana, both misdemeanors.

Amadou-Tidiane Daniel Dia, 18, a freshman in parks, recreation and tourism management from Highlands Ranch, Colo., and member of the men’s soccer team, was charged with simple possession of marijuana. The men were arrested when police stopped the car Watkins was driving after an officer saw it scrape against a curb on campus and because the temporary license tag was not illuminated. When the officer pulled the car over in a parking lot off Commons Court, he smelled marijuana. During a search he found marijuana and two pills for which Watkins did not have a prescription.

The men were arrested and taken to the Clemson City Jail. Watkins was released Friday morning on a $1,620 personal recognizance bond, and Dia was released on a $620 personal recognizance bond"

This is Dabo's most important game every year. No way he will suspend him.

His true values will show up here

I'd rather have him over Oregon's De'Anthony Thomas.

he must have killed someone. otherwise, Clemson Police has a policy of not arresting athletes. even if they beat their girlfriend over the head w/ a towel rod sending her to the hospital for stitches.

Au may be able to stay within a TD or even pull the upset if he's out. Should be another high scoring game either way; probably one of the more entertaining games of the weekend. Hopefully Au can pull the upset and not embarrass the SEC again. SEC!

Damn that would be huge for Auburn. Best skill position player in the country. Lot's of stairs and maybe sitting a joke game but no way he sits against Auburn. This is Dabo and Clemson we are talking about.

No way he's suspended.

"We must let the justice system proceed at its on pace and then we will make our decision" or something like that.

It will "proceed at its own pace" until sometime AFTER the Auburn game.
