"Wanna"? "Gone"? Who's writing this stuff in dialect? Watkins, by all accounts, is a good kid. In interviews, he sounds intelligent and mature. Why transcribe his quote and make him sound illiterate?

Isn't that his actual message? Lots of people use

"gonna" or "wanna," and no one thinks they're uneducated.

Also, when someone is quoted, they are supposed to be quoted verbatim.

If you take quotes and "make them proper," you will lose the personality. I can think of some Frank Howard and Danny Ford quotes that would simply not be as meaningful and impactful if you were to "make them proper."

We all know how smart Sammy is. He couldn't do what he does (advise the coaches of a good play...learn the playbook so fast...handle college and football at the same time) if he weren't smart.

Making coot comments makes one sound really stupid. What pisses these coots off more then anything is, they wasn't smart enough to get into Clemson.

sammys interviews are spot on

humble, always talks about the team, coaches, teammates, etc. and he talks a lot of x's and o's in his interviews.

This is a tweet, not an interview, and this is what tweets are supposed to sound - or look - like. If you want to play grammar police, twitter probably isn't for you. or a clemson fan site. get lost coots.
