BJCrawford 1,568 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I thought pettway was suspended the first game before he ever got hurt this year? Do I have the timing incorrect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That tells me when a player is on the field, the coaches keep them in check, but when they aren't, they are allowed to spin out of control. Which is extra disturbing considering the dangers of mixing recreational drugs with pain meds. I have been hearing SW was a very well known partier since before he ever took a snap. Pettway was suspended the opening game after playing in the bowl game. He was not firing up out of boredom. These are upper classmen not being responsible. They had all the guidance and education parents could give a kid, probably more. Hopefully they grow tf up and not let this define them. So far it may have.

doc4aday 1,887 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I wish he could get on with a CFL team and get his act together and show once again what he can do. Say a prayer for this kid. He did give us a lot of great football and I thank him for that. I say no piling on this kid and pray that something will work out for him. I would think if he shows he can get it together and get on with a CFL team, he could turn this into a pro career down the path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While some think they should be put to higher standards because of their opportunity, which is a fair argument the reality is they are no different than any other student finding them self in college. Yes, except the other students aren't under threat of a Urine Drug Test at any time during a year. Being a D1 athlete comes with responsibilities not imposed on other students. Most athletes are goal oriented and know to get to a certain level of excellence they must follow the rules put in place by authorities of the sport and maintain their rigorous preparation schedule. I always took the UDT as a good reason not to do it. And still do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You weren't talking to the right people then. Their dang sure was talk of it. Maybe not on public AUF forums because we have rules on not posting stuff w/out a link, especially on something like this but as I'm sure has already been reiterated, the talk was there.

3rdgeneration 6,469 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Isn't the Heisman bronze? And I just can't decide whose job it is to babysit the injured players. I think it is a good thought to want to take care of them, but it is not very realistic, in my opinion. I am just highly disappointed in Kam Pettway. First and foremost, he is a dad. His actions not only affect his future, but that of his child's as well. I truly hope that he can get it together, for the sake of that child. I also feel badly for the coaches and staff who have invested in him and other kids, only to watch them piss (for lack of a better word) it all away. Has to be heart breaking.
