Upward Soccer

Soccer season started yesterday at Olive. I am coaching Christopher and Kaitlyn's team once again. Next season Christopher will be playing in the 1st-2nd grade group.

The first game went really good, Kaitlyn scored twice and Christopher scored once. There's a lot of potential on our team and we have really good kids.

The U

I have been a fan of THE University of Miami (Coral Gables, not the pretender in OH) for a long time. Suffered through losing, bad coaches and rules violations.
This latest revelation of the corruption of school officials, coaches and players is just an indication of the lack of sense of a number of people.
It's unfortunate that the new basketball and football coaches have to suffer through the penalties for what prior coaches either overlooked, condoned or "just didn't know about." Right, head coaches are notoriously anal about everything, so rules violations just don't register. Give me a break.
It looks like that in this latest case, school officials, i.e. president, AD and others, turned a blind eye to indications of problems and the outright violations that were going on.
At the very least, the school President needs to be fired immediately, along with the Athletic Director.
Donna Shalala was always a dubious choice in my opinion, she was a flunky for Bill Clinton and really has never brought anything to the University. Well, not until now.
It's going to be hard to hang in with the U after this latest fiasco, much more so if those in charge don't pay the penalty for their looking the other way.
