On Friday night, UF welcomed producer and rapper Snoop Dogg to the stage as he performed at our annual Homecoming event, Gator Growl, on Flavet Field.

When our reporter spoke to both law enforcement and Gator Growl officials, their responses were along the lines of, “Eh, it’s probably just a cigarette.” They all turned the other cheek.
