Troubled player finds home

"Willie Williams has landed in small-town USA, far away from his old hangouts, for one final chance to approach the hype that followed the talented but trouble-prone linebacker out of high school.

The former Parade All-American is taking his game to Division II Glenville State in West Virginia, a place known for giving second chances to tarnished athletes.

Miami and Louisville it's not. The hilltop college is in a town of 1,500 people and in a county with only two grocery stores and four gas stations. The nearest big city, Pittsburgh, is 157 miles to the north.

Kicked off the Louisville team in September after his arrest on drug charges, Williams arrived at Glenville in January for the second semester, played spring football and is paying his own way to take two summer classes toward a degree in business administration."

So my new favorite team is mos def Glenville State.

Thoughts?

i just booked a flight to West Virginia for Glenvilles homecoming game.

I plan on going out pretty hard with Willie the night before the game, then getting some good video of him at the game (if we make it, might sleep in).

Then I am going to get some solid post game feedback as well as a breakdown of our meal plans for the night.

He will also be writing a few diaries for me about the Glenville state campus, etc. He wants us to know how he is being treated and all.

At this point is it even about Willie trying to play college ball or trying to get a degree? I think he is just looking to pass the time somewhere..
