beware the habu
now that's funny
Drew Soicher on 9news just got done doing more Yuri bashing - apparently for the second day in a row. He mentioned that he'd received emails complaining about his previous negativity toward Yuri coming to CU, and used the newscast today to pile on even more.
He definitely took jabs at CU by mentioning that it was not a "good place" for Yuri to get a second chance.
Drew Soicher should stick to his stupid Drew's Clues and shut the hell up.

What's really effed up is that Soicher and Reilly are doing is railing on a kid. Yuri is 17 years old. And, CU is bad because we hope that we can help the kid get better in life and on the field. As a soon to be adult, Yuri will be presented with the opportunity to go down one of two paths... 1) He can bust his ass and become a first day draft choice as a top flight corner with a degree from one of US's best state universities; or, 2) he can flame out and find his way back home in NY.
One of the biggest advantages I see about many of our coaches is that they're able to offer a personal narrative about their experience at the University of Colorado. The coaches have become professionals in their chosen field of coaching and mentors to young men in large part because of the good things that happened to them in Boulder.
We are seeing inroads in recruiting already with our current staff. Yuri Wright is a prime example of that. Starting now, the choice is Yuri's alone to decide where he wants his life to go. Instead of ridiculing the kid for saying the kind of stuff that many of us have said before, we should be happy that he's chosen Boulder to be the place where he gets a fresh start. Unfortunately, faux indignation gets ratings and increases readership. It's too bad that these guys have chosen the low road to get a bump in ratings.

Because a kid said some misguided things on Twitter, he shouldn't be allowed to play Division I football? I'm guessing LSU or Alabama or USC never took a kid that had done anything near what Yuri did.
I commend this kid for wanting to strike out on his own and come to a place far from home. I think he's found a coach in Embree who will let him be himself while also being a strong presence to shape him into a better young man.
F the haters, Yuri. Welcome.

Thanks for the link. That's nice to read, and I wish I could read the rest, but I'm not cool enough.
Summary of the teaser: Yuri manning up.
I like his response.
Summary of the rest: Yuri has liked CU for a year now, and instantly established a rapport with Embree and Brown the first time he met them, which is why he favored CU. Not because all the morally superior schools stopped recruiting him and CU was his only choice.
I'm sure Soicher, Reilly, et al will not ever mention this. The kid messed up and acknowledges it. Lets see how his apology plays in the WWW.
With the job involved in rebuilding this program Embree and the staff don't have time for problems, no matter how talented.
I am certain that Embree and Brown took a very close look at what kind of kid Yuri is. If they had any reason to believe that this issue was anything other than a youthful mistake and not reflective of the character of the young man they would have backed off.
On the other hand Drew Soicher would know about looking stupid on Twitter. If anyone should understand that a mistake can be made it should be him looking at the linked article but he would rather do the typical KUSA hammer CU without the facts acts

On the other hand reading Yuri's statement it looks a lot like he is genuinely sorry and embarrassed by what happened. The apology doesn't read like it was written by a lawyer, agent, or PR guy, it reads like an honest apology from a quality person. Until proven otherwise it should be taken as that.

That's an awesome find, MtnBuff! rep!
Thanks for that. It was especially fun to read the comments on that page referring to Soicher as a d-bag.

The rest of that ESPN article or the new DC article ( http://www.buffzone.com/ci_19822837 ) proves that his "new" twitter is fake.
Gotta love what he said about himself and about JE. I'll admit I was leaning towards him but had my reservations. However, I am definitely on his side now now. I hope we play Michigan during his tenure and he has 3 INTs (1 returned for a TD) and is MVP of the game.

What were P-Rich's tweets about last year when he was saying something about if shes excited then I'm invited or something like that. Nobody said anything bad about that, in fact it was kinda hilarious.
That was Wspy.
Drew Soicher should rent out space on his forehead, it has more surface area than most billboards. In fact, his forehead is so big given his receding hariline, he should rename it the eighthead, it's at least twice as big. That joke deserves a high nine...
He's a seal ****er.
How do you go from Heidi Klum to Drew?
nice try. #swag
