THE U: MADNESS

So, Ken Dorsey was breaking the soccer team down? Was that the men’s soccer team or the women’s? Just heard a few things….

Ya gotta love Portis. I thought this was pretty funny too in it’s own way:

From Stewart Mandel at SI.com "It’s typical for a team’s defense to be ahead of its offense in the spring — particularly when the defense is as dominant as Miami’s. However, the degree of offensive ineptitude during the Hurricanes’ spring game Saturday was downright troubling, particularly in light of last season’s struggles. QBs Kyle Wright and Kirby Freeman combined for just 77 passing yards, and the running backs netted about three yards a carry. There were 11 three-and-outs, and no pass play went for longer than nine yards.

When I talked with ’Canes coach Larry Coker last week about the impact of his six new assistants — including offensive coordinator Rich Olson — he must have said about 10 times, “We want to do a better job of getting the ball in the hands of our playmakers.” One has to wonder at this point, however: Who are those playmakers?"

Great stuff, thanks.
Portis is amazing as both a player and a character. He may have a career in Hollywood, or at least ESPN, when his playing days are over. That reskins site has pretty much all of em. Sheriff Gonna Getchya, Intspector 2-2, Southeast Jerome, Dollah Bill, all of em (http://clintonportis.com/characters.html).
Match the date, and the press conference, and just laugh. He’s a misunderstood genius.

I’m not exactly a big Hurricane fan but Stewart Mandel has his head up his ass 24/7. Now this poses a logistical problem as to exactly how he types his articles but I’ll leave that paradox up to you guys.
