I'll be disappointed in our coaching staff if that's the case.

1. Your intimate knowledge of what all their (CDS and SW) conversations have been and what all has gone on with the legal proceedings ? And what conditions Coach put on Sammy to make this a learning lesson ?
OR
2. How it appears to the media and other hype-selling organizations ?

Key word: "probably"

leaves a window of opportunity. If he said "definitely" then you have a case.

"probably" not a "chance" leaves a pretty friggin narrow window for him not to play

So will alot of people, but mostly Gamecocks and Auburn Tigers.
I'm fine with it since I have no idea how he's already been punished and how he's handled it. I'll trust the staff on this one.

He's been under punishment probably all summer long
Jul 26, 2012, 1:23 PM
[ in reply to Re: Sammy Watkins will be playing ALL 4 QTRS vs Auburn ] |
|
would you say suspending him for the game would just be to "save face" to the media and the rest of the nation?
Maybe thats important i don't know.. But he is i'm sure doing alot to pay for his mistake for the last 2 months and will until the season starts.
I think if he is suspended for more than a half of the auburn game then it will be for show so the rest of the nation doesn't criticise him (thats an opinion not a truth by the way)
Just sayin' none of us know anything. We don't know if he's been doing community service all summer long or not. So chill out and accept whatever the coaches decide.

I support suspending him for the first half, and have for a while now. See a response I posted above for a quote from Dabo.

Tell us what he has done in the off season since the arrest
Jul 26, 2012, 1:35 PM
[ in reply to Re: He's been under punishment probably all summer long ] |

pertaining to his punishment. What were the guidelines given to him by Dabo and how did he respond? You seem to have a lot of inside knowledge of the situation, so fill us in.

Coaches can't have contact with the players in the summer anyway, so I don't know if we want to open the can of worms of him being punished in the summer.

couldn't have contact with them, how do they avoid them during something like the All-In Cookout? Of course they can talk to them. Just can't coach them.

well, contact is limited in some ways. Making him run or anything like that could definitely be construed as coaching.

the point is, Dabo can lay out Sammy's requirements and he can get plenty of feedback regarding his compliance.

Up until this year (8/11) coaches in the SEC were giving positions to coaches on the S and C staff so that they could coach the players in the off season. Now that the staffs have been reduced by the NCAA this will no longer be allowed in the SEC. Wonder who the first will be to find a way around that rule?

I definitely wish he would play the whole game from a competitive standpoint but I think anything less than sitting him the entire first game sends the wrong message to the rest of the team and as a school.

I think two games, the 2nd and 3rd games he should sit, play the 1st. That would make the chickens go crazy, I would love it. Never seen sc fans be so concerned about what Clemson is doing, well that is wrong because that is all they have ever done. Spot the ball.

All Dabo's doing....
Jul 26, 2012, 1:37 PM
|
|
by not announcing SW's "punishment", is keeping Allbarn off balance on what they have to scheme for. The more they have to practice and prepare for before the game, the more advantageous for CU. There's nothing sinister about no announcement. Ever heard the old expression "keeping your cards close to the vest." That's all this is.
Sammy will most likely miss time in the AU game. We should all be prepared for it. The flip side is you don't have to tell your opponent 35+ days in advance that they don't have to face your #1 player...

I'll follow up by saying that (as far as we know) Sammy hasn't been convicted of ANYTHING yet. "Innocent until proven guilty" anyone? I might counter that the appropriate time to hand down a punishment is AFTER a court of law finds him guilty of something. Talk to us after that happens.
(I haven't seen anywhere that he's been convicted or exonerated. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong either way.)

I'm pretty sure Dabo will sit Sammy the entire AU game - or until Auburn takes the lead - whichever comes first.

I know Sammy has been doing public appearances or well at least one because I was there. He had a person from the Judicial Courts escorting him. And we were told that it was part of his punishment. So I believe he has been working to correct his wrong.
Also you have to look at a persons career not one mistake. He has been a model citizen and leader for the CU Football program and I believe that is enough.
If he does sit for part of the game, I am still faithful that our offense can be strong enough to overcome it for part or for a whole game.

don't apologize to us. It just shows how pathetic your coaching staff is if that is the case.
If you can't beat auburn with their pretty terrible offense without sammy, you guys have bigger problems.

how about compare apples to apples.
the last two times a USC player was caught with pot, they were suspended immediately for at least 1 game (Ladi was 3 games if I am not mistaken)

those are all the things that are affecting this situation. And if they weren't caught in the off season and had perfect records before this issue then this is not apples to apples as you stated.

this year, they lose the O-coordinator and the stud RB. At least initially, their offense will be worse than last year.
And yes. We had a quarterback who was all but incompetent in every game he played last year start that one.

Dabo has already said Sammy WILL miss time. He also said
Jul 26, 2012, 3:04 PM
|
|
that he will be anouncing it right after the team gets back together and he has a chance to talk with Sammy and the team. I am guessing that Sammy will miss atleast the 1st half of the Albarn game. I would imagine that had this happened during the season it would have been a lot more severe. Sammy has had time to do his community service and everythig else above and beyond what Dabo has asked of him.
