Can We Kick Miami Out of The ACC???

                     Ten players were ejected in a brawl that saw players swinging helmets and one come off the bench swinging a crutch.

I've always hated Miami because they epitomized the term "rouge program".  But, I was applauding the ACC when they made the move to nab the Canes and bring them into our neat, cozy little conference.

Screw dat.

Miami has continued to embarrass a conference that prides itself on dignity.  Of course, I say this as the elitists of our conference, Duke, has an ongoing rape case involving it's lacrosse team.  But Miami has tore down that image into a new renegade football image.  Whether it is sigining a guy who had been arrested, like, 1000 times.....or having rap records released about the football team running the train on some coeds.....or this brawl that happened on Saturday....it just bugs me. 

Yep, the ACC asked for it.  The basketball conference sold its soul for football.  First it was the Free Shoes University [aka Florida State] which instantly paid off.....now Miami. 

The fight started when Miami WR James Bryant caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from Kyle Wright and then drew a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. After making the TD catch, he pointed at the Florida International bench, and then took a theatrical bow toward the stands.

And what class.  What freaking class!!!  Miami is rolling over Florida International when this fight started.  FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL!!!!!  They are a Sun Belt team that just got up to D-I a few years ago.  You are pounding them...an 0-7 team....and deciding to taunt.

FIU isn't without blame either.  The Athletic Director should be ashamed.  Well, well, well, well.....the new AD came over from MIAMI after he just left his assistant AD job this week.  Hmmmm. 

Canes QB Kyle Wright said it in the best way a Miami player could:  "It's something they started.  And our guys finished it. ... They're going home with a 35-0 loss and they're 0-7."

I agree with you. Miami is an embarassment and now we see that they only suspended their players 1 game? Simply pathetic.
