Cane fans, this is what youve been waiting for

Honestly I had more respect for MIami last year then I did for my own team.
But if I recall correctly they got in a brawl on NATIONAL TELEVISION!
WHat do you not get about that?
And I am not judging by what i saw on TV and in the newspaper. I saw the fight go down and I have watched many times since.
For god sakes a player took his helmet off and was on top of a guy smahing his head in basically. And he only apologized when he was told by Miami officials to do so because they thought that it would get him back on the team.
I know what I am talking about here and you can compare all you want to to Ut but they are about equal.
Oh and compar eUT and Miami in one who has got in a brawl on NATIONAL TELEVISION and who has not?
And since 2 thousand the arrests and charges against UT football players have all been thrown out.
What about the charges on Miami?

Guarantee Miami's trophy case stretches a little further down the hall than UT's.

I am not comparing UT and Miami in wins, losses, ne of that stuff.
I am not even saying that UT is not a school of thugs.
I am just saying that since the brawl last year on National TV I have lost respect for Miami.
You will have to ask Coeburn Cane why UT was brought into the convo. I was just giving my opinion on what I think about Miami since the brawl.

Reddick is who you're speaking of, and he issued the apology before Miami took action against him for his actions and suspended him the rest of the year. He's out this season too because of he popped an ACL in a pickup bball game.

I guess you need to make sure you know how the sitch went down before you point to it man. Reddick apologized of his own volition, and Miami still suspended him. Not the ACC, not the NCAA--Miami's coaching staff took action and suspended him.

jesus christ, reddick has the worst luck ever.

didnt he tear an acl a coupla year ago too?

**CoeburnCane** · May 11th, 2007, 02:37 PM

Yep, he did. I think it was in a game against GT.

P.S.--Enjoy Devine. If he wasn't such a character risk & grades weren't so bad, maybe he could have been a Cane. </div></div>

Thanks for the laugh. Miami turning down character risks and worrying about grades! I thought those were required before getting accepted. Can't wait for the 4 SWVA Miami Hurricane fans to chime in on the greatness of the U and then bring up stats from 30 years ago.

Perpetuate the stereotype, go ahead. That's always easier than looking at anything positive that's happened in the past 10 years at Miami. Miami did some things to earn their image back in the day--never have defended that, never will...but lots of the stuff nowadays that's happened have been brought on Miami by someone else.

FIU Brawl - James Bryant bows to the FIU fan section after scoring a TD, then 2 of FIU's DB's jump our kicker & 3rd string QB on the PAT to touch off the brawl. FIU players were swinging helmets, kicking people, and trying to hit coaches/assistants. But that was all Miami's fault, and FIU's guys were just trying to protect themselves...sure...whatta copout.

Pata's death - Dude gets shot down in cold blood and it's somehow Miami's fault? I've heard people say that it wouldn't have happened if he weren't a Miami football player--I beg to differ. When someone wants to kill somebody randomly, they kill them, Miami football player or not. That'd be like me trying to link the Korean guy to the VT football team somehow...ridiculous.

Meriweather returning fire on a burglar - There was an intruder at the house that Meriweather & Gooden were living in. Gooden gets hit, Meriweather returns fire with a gun that he has a permit for--yet he's a gun-toting thug. For doing something that tons of people wished were possible during the VT shootings--owning a weapon and returning fire on an assailant.

Lots and lots of double-standards when it comes to how people view the stuff that's happened to Miami in the past year or 2.

BTW--Coker and Shannon flat out denied Devine. They said unless he could get his stuff together to qualify under what they require in admissions, not just NCAA, then they wouldn't even offer him. He told them he didn't know if he could do that, so they pulled his offer. Coker kept it on the table for a while, but once he was gone, Shannon pulled it.

Trust me--keep thinking & believing the stereotype guys--Shannon's about to blow that all to pieces w/the type of ship he's going to run at Miami now that he's calling the shots as head man.
