Keeping It Real, Cane-Style

If you thought that maybe Willie Williams' departure from Miami meant that maybe they'd lose a bit of their thug edge, wonder no more. Check this story out - Hurricane safety Willie Cooper (Dub-C of 7th-Floor Crew fame) was shot in the ass this morning.

Two great aspects of this story - first, it happened at 6:30 in the morning. Evidently the guys say some strange car outside of their house. What college students are up at 6:30 in the morning? Unless they were up for practice, I'm guessing they had been up all night.

The second nugget here is this sentence from the article, "After Cooper was shot, teammate and roommate Brandon Meriweather pulled a pistol from his pants pocket and fired three times at the person." He had a pistol right there in his pants! At 6:30 AM!

Only at Miami.

I'm so proud to have grown up a Miami fan.

I'm glad I'm not a 2006 U.S. collegiate athlete.It seems drive-bys are an occupational hazard for these guys.

Saw your name here and figured you were coming to bitch about the Barry Bonds witchhunt. In this case, while I think the guy's a cheater and an asshole, I think the prosecutors are going way overboard. If you don't have a case fellas, give it up. He may be a lousy person, but he's not Al Capone. Don't you have more significant things to investigate and prosecute? Here's a tip, keep an eye on the Canes mentioned in this post!
