So what now for Lamar Thomas? It's ironic that the only real loser in the big UofM-FIU battle on Saturday was the guy sitting in the announcer's booth — albeit a guy who wanted to get down there and mix it up, or so he said. Thomas, as you know, was cast adrift by Comcast Southeast Sports on Monda...
I Had A Girl, Donna Was Her Name
It seems as if University of Miami president Donna Shalala is forever defending the behavior of her students — she reminds us a lot of Mrs. Garrett from Facts of Life that way — and Tuesday was no exception. Appearing at a coaches' press conference, the feisty administrator said that it was time t...
Lamar Thomas Speaks (Kind Of)
We're having trouble locating it specifically on CanesTime, the message board for Miami football, but several other Scout.com boards have posted what is allegedly a message from recently fired Miami Hurricanes radio broadcaster Lamar Thomas, whose now infamous tirade about beating down FIU players h...
Also, We're Pretty Sure That's A Facemask Penalty
Welcome to Brawlgate, Day 4, as fallout continues from Saturday's melee between the Hurricanes and Golden Panthers. The Atlantic Coast and Sun Belt Conferences handed out 31 one-game suspensions late Sunday — 18 for Florida International, 13 for Miami — but, as they say, a new wind was about to blow...
Back To You In The Booth, Lamar
So it may not come as a surprise to anyone that more suspensions have come down following the steel cage match between the University of Miami and Florida International football teams on Saturday. A total of 31 players have been dinged — and must sit out their respective games this weekend — 18 from...
Taking Down The Field Goal Posts: Miami Gets Back To Basics
Miami (FL) 35, Florida International 0. There aren't many things that would be able to knock that excellent Auburn/Florida game out of the top spot here, but... a bench-clearing brawl in which thirteen players are ejected is one of them. Eight FIU Golden Panthers and five Miami Hurricanes were sent ...

Some Fans Are, Well, "Special"
Sure, you might, on the surface, think that the University of Tennessee calling a boisterous fan at home and asking her to shut the hell up is over the top, rude and all together unacceptable. But, then again, you haven't actually heard her....
Stalking Lloyd Carr
We are no experts in the field of stalking — really! — but as far as potential stalking targets go, we're not sure we'd include Michigan coach Lloyd Carr as a particularly targetable vessel for rage and frustration. Well, at least not this year....
A Couple Of Expensive Six Packs
We are aware that it's very possible there's much more to come out about the story than has been released, but, taken at face value, the Connecticut football team is awfully strict about player discipline....
Recruiting Makes College Sports Double Plus Unfun
As a fan of college athletics, we will confess to being depressed by the process of recruiting. Some fans are obsessed with it, subscribing to scouting services and reading tea leaves, analyzing every vocal inflection of a 17-year-old kid as if it's going to be an insight to their deeper mindset. (T...
Taking Down The Field Goal Posts: Woo Pig Sooey!
Arkansas 27, (2) Auburn 10. It's rare that upsets of this magnitude are ass-beatings, but there was little doubt about this one. The Razorbacks racked up an astounding 279 yards rushing against that vaunted Auburn defense. And Auburn had two guys with more rushing yards than Auburn's Kenny Irons, ...
