[h5]Clemson release [/h5] 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
 
Yo Dre You're another FSU Fan, on another board, it was discussed all that could possibly bolt early for the draft next year, and the lofty expectations for this season, from your fan perspective who could you possibly see leave early, and what are your expectations for this coming season?

Leaving Early I could see Christian Jones, Lamarcus Joyner, Xavier Rhodes, Bjoern Werner, and possibly even Terrance Brooks depending on if he has the type of breakout season, I could expect.

Also, I expect to win the ACC and be in a BCS bowl
 
I wish they would just cut the crap and legalize it already, all these kids getting busted and having people in the media throw dirt on their names for something so benign is such a damn waste of time.

[h1]The Cautionary Tale Of @Bdubstriviaguru [/h1]

On the morning of Monday, April 30th, 2012, something out of the ordinary became apparent on the social media network Twitter. Multiple current Ohio State football players and even a few Ohio State football recruiting targets began to retweet the same motivational quotes from the same origin account. The quotes, perhaps uninterestingly enough, cited Muhammad Ali and read as follows:



Over the course of 46 minutes, this particular individual at tweeted 129 current, former, and prospective student athletes with ties to The Ohio State University. Having seen the account cited by athletes previously, the twitter account affiliated with this site made an observation about the behavior, somewhat in jest, but also critical of the sort of such bizarre practice, even in the ever progressing in absurdity meat market like environment that comprises college athletic recruiting today:

Land-Grant Holy Land @Landgrant33

Because there's nothing weird at all about spending time tweeting motivational quotes at 16-22 year olds: bit.ly/KpXFnx

A few relatively high follower count individuals in the college football branch of the internet retweeted it. Fans and commentators from a variety of backgrounds made observation of the oddities of such behavior, but after a half hour or so, most of the public facing controversy had subsided.

Except on the timeline of the individual responsible for the motivational tweets.

Eric Waugh, or @Bdubstriviaguru as he was known to Ohio State student athletes and fellow fans, had become somewhat under siege. Mostly made up of fans from rival schools, individuals began putting him on blast through the medium, calling him "creepy", "weird", and on to the sort of jawing you'd expect from one rival fan base to another after seeing someone so publicly engage in such irregular behavior.

Waugh himself went on the defensive, professing to be "misunderstood", and ultimately responding to the aforementioned along with a few other individuals who raised objections and spoke openly of notifying Ohio State compliance to make them aware of prospective tampering with recruits.

Land-Grant Holy Land @Landgrant33

@aaronm59 @tjessberger @ramzyn @BdubsTriviaGuru There's nothing acceptable or normal about a grown man tweeting underaged kids, sorry.

@BdubsTriviaGuru Pandering for RTs and committing potential NCAA violations by interacting with unsigned recruits is shameless. Do better.

@Landgrant33 But as for me. OSU has always been my team. I just try to be kind and encouraging. Never any harm meant in it. Just saying.

Waugh wasn't without his defenders, amongst them Ohio State football players Spencer Smith and Jake Russell :

In spite of a few pollyannaish defenders, those more cynical's worries of potential booster-like activity had reason for pause. As recently as two weeks prior, Waugh had been in Columbus for the Ohio State Spring Game, in which he met with current and prospective student athletes after the game at a public autograph signing/picture taking session in the stadium and at a few local sites later that afternoon and the next day:





Waugh and Ohio State receiver Devin Smith



Waugh and Ohio State verbal commits Alex Anzalone, Joey Bosa, and Notre Dame verbal Mike Heuerman.

The behavior, extreme even for garden-variety-super-fans, while certainly against the grain, didn't immediately seem like anything ill spirited. The day after the Spring Game, Waugh met early enrollee defensive back Tyvis Powell and backup quarterback Cardale Jones at a campus area High Street Chipotle which he later thanked them for:

jones-powell-chipotle_medium.png


The sad reality of the situation was much darker.

In 2007, then 27 year old Charles Eric Waugh, was arrested and later pleaded guilty to five counts of possession of matter portraying sexual performances by minors. The FBI office in Oklahoma City had tracked Waugh downloading images of boys younger than 16 engaged in sexual acts and coordinated with the bureau's Louisville office to pursue charges against Waugh. As part of the guilty plea (and due to his lack of a record), Waugh avoided jail time, was placed on probation, made to register as a sex offender for the next 20 years, and forced to complete a two year rehabilitation program that incarcerated offenders must undergo before release. Per the terms of his probation, he also had to comply with various regulations for sex offenders. Amongst them, KRS 17.546 stipulates:
  1. 1."(1) As used in this section:
    1. "Instant messaging or chat room program" means a software program that allows two (2) or more persons to communicate over the Internet in real time using typed text; and
    2. "Social networking Web site" means an Internet Web site that:
      1. Facilitates the social introduction between two (2) or more persons;
      2. Allows a person to create a Web page or a personal profile; and
      3. Provides a person who visits the Web site the opportunity to communicate with another person.
  2. No registrant, as defined in KRS 17.500, shall knowingly or intentionally use a social networking Web site or an instant messaging or chat room program if that Web site or program allows a person who is less than eighteen (18) years of age to access or use the Web site or program.
  3. Any person who violates subsection (2) of this section shall be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor."

Having violated seemingly all of these as well as actually interfaced with under 18 athletes as a result of those interactions with but a year to go on a five year probation, it's difficult to see the situation resolving favorably for Waugh.

The Kentucky State Police were notified of Waugh's behavior and detectives began a case on the situation immediately. After being notified by several parties that Waugh may be a person of interest for compliance reasons Monday afternoon, the university received a comprehensive documentation of Waugh's actions as well as the findings of which specific student athletes and recruits had been dialoguing with him.

Over the course of the next 48 hours, Waugh's twitter account was suspended on two different occasions. During the first, Waugh created a second account, @TOSUGuru. It seemed initially that another flood of motivational tweets coupled with twitter's block and report for spam functionality had resulted in an auto-suspension, but it remains unclear at this time if twitter or law enforcement had their hands in the matter.

After his account was restored Wednesday, both the @Bdubstriviaguru and @TOSUGuru accounts were suspended Thursday morning not long before The Ohio State University sent this mass text to all student athletes:



The accompanying student athlete sent e-mail was reported on by the student paper The Lantern Thursday evening and included the following:
"We strongly recommend that you take the steps (see links below) to block his access to your Twitter and Facebook accounts," Archie said in the email. "In addition, we've enclosed a photograph and a link to a news article regarding this individual. As a reminder, the individuals who you associate with on social networking sites (i.e., Twitter, Facebook) can have negative implications on your reputation and the university. Please remember to choose your ‘social media friends' carefully!"


The e-mail also included instructions on how to unfollow individuals on Facebook and block users on Twitter.

Waugh was also said to delete his Facebook account sometime Wednesday or Thursday evening, but the specifics of such activity was not confirmed at the time this article was published. His mother spoke to The Lantern in defense of her son:
"We're good Christian people. (Charles) is also a Christian boy," Charlene Waugh said. "He's been saved. He's been baptized. He's been on probation for four years and he hasn't had no problems or anything. This situation right here's the only thing we've had in our family."


The immediate visceral reaction to such happening makes it hard to find much empathy, even trying to put a bow on such an unimaginably challenging familial situation.

While it'd be incredibly easy to paint this as another episode of sidewalk Ohio State fans personifying the worst stereotypes of a single fan base, school, place, or region, the unthinkable truth likely lies far closer to that in the internet age, this kind of behavior happens far more than we even realize. Figures like major college football and college basketball players live their lives extremely publicly and are often more easily accessible than ever before.

Players often are coached up on the threat of lurking self interested boosters, street and traditional agents, as well as individuals in their circles of influence that could lead them towards making bad decisions. Perhaps it's time we start teaching them to be more wary of other such dangers.

Rhodes and Werner, followed by Jones (if he performs @ Will like he should. No more tackling like a pansy)

Love Joyner, but there just isn't a big market for a 5'8 safety. But he may leave to provide for his fam. If he was 5'11 it would be a no brainer. He has to show more ball skills. We know he can tackle but at times he went for the tackle when he could have made a play on the ball.  Don't see Brooks leaving w/ 1 year of film.

I have no idea what to expect from that OL, so idk what to make of this years team. No run game and no consistent blocking for EJ and you have the same results from last year. I only expect improvement from each seg, but idk what that turns into as far as W/L
 
Colorado State announces it has expelled football players Nordly Capi, Mike Orakpo and Colton Paulhus.
