Poor Urban is a tough disciplinarian, but kids will be kids. A kid being a kid is smoking in your apartment, drinking underage, and getting into a drunken fight. Pulling an AK-47 out of the trunk of your car and firing it into the air is in a whole different category. At Florida, Chris Bell would still be on the team.</p></div> http://www.blackshoediaries.com/2009/7/4/937820/poor-urban-doing-his-best cpm126 2009-07-04T02:01:10Z 2009-07-04T02:01:10Z <img alt="0703091400" src="http://cdn3.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/58681/0703091400.jpg" /> <div class="source source-img"><p>Snapped this with my camera while shopping for birthday cards.
