the_archfiendDamned if I know why the commute from the University of Miami-Ohio to seemingly anywhere in the Pittsburgh area causes dangerous weirdos to come out in droves.
First it was Ben Roethlisberger, a Miami-Ohio alum who apparently engaged in the same sort of crap he pulled later on as a Pittsburgh Steeler; now it's ex-Miami head coach Mike Haywood, who may go down in history as one of the few head coaches to lose a job before he lost a single game:

Pitt moved swiftly to oust Haywood following an arrest that sullied a university that is proud of its Big Ten-like academics. It also raised questions why Haywood -- who had only two seasons as a mid-major head coach, including a one-win season -- was chosen Dec. 16 following a brief search.
Haywood was arrested about 3 p.m. Friday after a custody issue developed with a woman with whom Haywood has a child, police said. The unidentified woman told police that Haywood grabbed her by the arm and neck and pushed her as she tried to leave the home that Haywood owns in South Bend, Ind., where he once was a Notre Dame assistant.
Assistant St. Joseph County Police Chief Bill Redman said the woman had marks on her neck, arms and back.
I get the sinking feeling that the worst of Haywood's troubles will be the firing; Roethlisberger didn't get charged, either. My love/hate affair with sports veers much closer to "hate" at moments like this.
