Couldn't happen to a better guy
Former Miami backup linebacker Willie Williams might wish that his posse had kept its collective mouth shut.
Williams, who asked UM to release him from his scholarship last month, reportedly upset over not having cracked the starting lineup, is having a hard time finding a new college to call home.
The news this week showed just how desperate he might be getting - he sought a spot on the roster at Pearl River Community College in Mississippi, which is, to its credit, the top-ranked junior-college team in this year's preseason polls.
That said, it's still a juco - and, significantly, it doesn't want Williams.
"He failed to reach some stipulations we set, and I'll just leave it at that," coach Tim Hatten said of his decision to not offer Williams a spot on his team.
It's hard to figure that Williams, who had a lengthy criminal record prior to enrolling at Miami, would fail to reach somebody else's stipulations, isn't it?
Being a backup for the 'Canes is probably looking pretty good at this point.
