South Carolina player arrested early Saturday morning ahead of Clemson game
The South Carolina Gamecocks are finishing their season on Saturday afternoon against rival Clemson in a game that will be tough to win.
Now, they’re dealing with an unwelcome distraction, too, as a backup was arrested on suspicion of DUI on Saturday morning.
Per a report from The Post and Courier, senior punter Michael Almond was arrested in the early hours of Saturday morning:
Almond was arrested Saturday morning and charged with driving under the influence and driving at a greater speed than reasonable under conditions. He was released from jail after posting personal recognizance bonds of $1,017 and $76.88, Columbia police records show.
Obviously, not having a backup punter available won’t have much of an impact (if any) on this game, but it’s still something coach Will Muschamp and his staff had to deal with this morning.
Oh for fugs sake. Why isn’t he at the hotel with the team?
If I was South Carolina’s backup punter, I’d be drunk too.
Man, it must be difficult to find an idea for an article when you you have to “click bait” for an article on our back up punter! Have you asked Coach if this will impact the game planning?
If he’s out that late, he’s probably not with the team
