Gators' Matt Elam Cited For Alcohol Possession (Again)

Florida football had gone a fair while without a run-in with the law, I suppose: Gators safety Matt Elam was cited early Sunday morning for underage alcohol possession, according to the Gainesville Sun.

Gainesville Police spokesperson Tscharna Senn said officers saw Elam at 100 NW First Avenue with a plastic cup that contained a dark liquid. When he saw the officers, they say, he threw the cup down. It was later found to contain Hennessy cognac and Coca-Cola, police said.

It's not the first time Elam, 19, has been cited for underage alcohol possession, but at least Elam's taste has improved. Henny and Coke is a couple rungs up the ladder of Stupid Alcoholic Beverages College-Aged Underage Drinkers Drink from the Four Loko he was cited for holding in a parking lot last August, THOUGH UNDERAGE DRINKING IS BAD AND DON'T DO IT, OKAY?

No word on punishment from Will Muschamp yet, but it's a safe bet that Elam will probably be doing some extra running this week.

Still though…Henny and Coke? Really Elam?

Man up and drink a Jack and Coke, or a Crown and Coke. Seriously. I didn’t think even think they made Hennessey anymore. But I agree. It is still a step up from Four Loko. Which should be men should be banned from drinking in the first place. With punishment of deportation.

And another thing. What are these kids saying now-a-days that gets them cited. I was pulled over, found walking down the street…etc. Not drunk, but had obviously had a few, and was never cited. Just asked to pour out what I had left and was sent on my way. I should teach a class on that. It ain’t hard.

It also depends on the time of year.

People seem to be more likely to be cited during the summer or first few weeks of a semester. It’s the whole “oh you like you’ll get away with it because it’s the summer and the campus isn’t as full?” I could probably put together an interesting pie chart on people I know that were cited during those times and it would be a huge piece of the pie. They want to “set an example.” PLEASE!

If he threw the cup down....

wouldn’t the drink have spilled? How then could the cops identify the contents? Don’t the cops have better things to do with their time???

I believe the official name for the identification is...

…The Concrete Lick Test.
