I don't recall that one.

all you cane haters should read the SI article by stewart mandel after the brawl.

To quote him:
"You might not believe this -- you might not want to believe this -- but over the past decade, Miami has had fewer player arrests or NCAA-related incidents than almost any other major program in the country. Miami has not had 20-plus incidents involving shoplifting, assault, gun charges and failed drug tests over the past two years, as Tennessee has. Miami has not had to dismiss a star player for earning money through a phony job, as Oklahoma has. Miami has not had a star linebacker accused of sexual assault on the eve of its bowl game as Florida State did last year. And Miami's most recent Academic Progress Rate (956) placed it in the top 20 to 30 percent of all Division I football programs."

I know this contradicts an earlier post, but it's true.

It's all about the U baby!

Why would they want to worry about facts when perception is reality?

can you say art schliter(sp?)

VT has plenty of players get in trouble with the law. I do think it's 2 less than UGA and 3 less than Miami but 2 more than LSU and 6 more than USC. They are tied with OSU, Michigan and UT IIRC.

LSU and the Canes got into one that was probably as bad as that a couple years ago, I believe. However, I also don't blame Miami for the fight against FIU. FIU started the fight and I think the Canes reacted about the way I would expect them to react. In a sport like football, it's very easy for things to escalate. You have a bunch of guys who feed off of adrenaline and aggression in order to play the game, then, you take a cheap shot at a defenseless holder...FIU deserved what they got.

If Miami hadn't jumped in on the fight everybody would be calling them punks because they let FIU do that to their player. It was a no-win situation for the Canes. Either they look like p***ies or they go out there and defend their own. In this case, I think Miami did what they had to do. It shouldn't have gotten as bad as it did, but someone had to do something.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

And LSU won

The U of Miami isn't bad. It's the culture in the city of Miami that's the problem. You could call them "thug U" but if we look at every place in Miami, I'm sure we can say that the Pharmacies in Miami are "thug pharmacies" and there's also "thug pizza shops", "thug high schools", "thug car dealerships" and "thug shoe stores". It's like Washington D.C. politically...a good person can move to Miami and become caught up in some bad stuff that's all around them...the party scene, the drug scene from all of the immigrants and aliens and rappers that live there, we know there are a lot of whores there for parties and spring/summer breaks...

It's not the University that has the problems with laws and morals, it's the entire city and most of its inhabitants.

SO...should we now start bashing Virginia and West Virginia schools like we do Florida schools?

The Vick brothers, Pacman...

Not all florida schools are that bad.
Like I posted, Miami is the worst since 1983. (that's in the country, not just florida) But I did see many articles about the schools in virginia. I guess they are trying to catch Miami.

By the way, your last post is true as well...it has a lot to do with the city. I would never in a million years live in Miami.
