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. And, in traditional Snoop Dogg fashion, the man himself had with him what we can only assume was a joint — for the record, we’re avoiding the use of “marijuana cigarette” because the word cigarette implies tobacco, not just because we’re hip like that.

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.
