Perhaps we missed it amid his offseason legal matters and Arizona's
strange wild
west recruiting video, but we're pretty sure
running back Ka'Deem Carey didn't change his name.
If he did, well, NCAA.com scooped us, as they've got
news of Da'Keem Carey leading the list of preseason candidates for the
2013 Doak Walker Award for college football's top running back.
Could this be the work of a dyslexic copy editor?
We'd understand if the double capitalization had been botched or the
apostrophe errantly omitted or replaced by a hyphen, but swapping
letters to create a whole new name?
Come on. This guy
was the leading rusher in the nation last season. A consensus
All-American.
Then again, "we get no
respect" has been the mantra for folks around these parts for many
years. When the big networks can't tell the Arizona State Wildcats from
the Arizona Sun Devils -- or whatever -- well, you get the
picture.
