Miami and Florida International Brawl

[Basileus777]

Nastiest brawl I have seen in a while. There was punching, stomping, and helmet throwing. The U, what a bunch of thugs. Brandon Merriweather might just lose his first round status for his Marcus Vick impression.

Here is the video:

Alot of ignorant posts here, although thats not surprising, people think of Miami of the 80s and that simply isn't what we are about, post-1994.

FIU started it by punching and kicking a Miami player. I'm glad the kids defended their teammate, GOOD. Although what Reddick did was unnacceptable. Merriweather also went over the line.

I agree with KCChiefsfan88 that this is good in the sense that it will help to get Coker fired. He will get fired anyway though, which is totally necessary. He should have been fired last year. Two straight Peach Bowls are absolute garbage.

Those who live in "lack of institutional control" houses shouldn't throw stones

Seriously.. I heard on ESPN radio that after Miami scored that 2nd touchdown, the dope that caught it decided to taunt the FIU sideline by bowing.. I can see where that might make them mad. I blame "The U" for this entire thing, the guy that came out swinging the helmet and then retreating is a gutless piece of crap. I seriously hope that the next time he plays the team that plays against him takes him out, and I mean career ending. Miami is now a laughing stock, their fans, alumni, current students, and supporters should call for ALOT of people to be kicked off the team for good.

But KU does achieve it's basketball prominence legally and has since I've been watching them. About 50 years. NCAA nitpicking and thuggery are two different things. Miami has a horrible reputation. Don't take my word for it. Ask anybody.

I guess during your "50 years" of following KU basketball "prominence" your selective memory forgets the fact this is the second time in the past 18 years that the Kansas basketball program is facing probation (cough cough, illegal benefits scandal under Larry Brown/postseason ban as a result ring a bell?)

Is that your definition of achieving "basketball prominence legally"?

That is still better than what UCF is... a complete non-factor in the state of Florida whose only claim to fame is dead police officers at team home games, resulting from parking lot shoot-outs.

Insult us all you want. But you can never get rid of your stigma.. and I mean NEVER. By the way, on that Youtube, was that, that bust of an NFL wide reciever lamar Thomas talking about going down there and getting in the fight? If he was anywhere near as tough as he thought he was he would have been able to actually start for the Buccaneers.

While the brawl was cool to watch, it was totally uncalled for. Besides the POS Miami Hurricanes deserve everything they get out of this.

I'd take Brandon Merriweather on my team he's a good player and atleast if someone ****s up one your players he'll do something about it that's more than we have now.

You're a f**cking idiot.

I loved it when Penn State humiliated those army fatigue wearing, insult hurling, dinner crashing, punks in the 86 championship game. Miami players' behavior during that week leading up to the game was disgraceful.

It's that type of punkish behavior that is uniquely Miami Hurricane football. It's been a very distinct tradition. Kellen, "the warrior," Winslow, Jr. summed it up best with his tirade, IMO.

That's the way they've been teaching it at the "THE U" for years.

I would have to say that you just might be the idiot.

Here are a few facts about the game that most of your jackballs know nothing about.

FIU had three late hit penalties on the Canes during the first three quarters. One they slammed the QB, the other they late Hit James out of bounds and the other they pounded Kenny Phillips late. Those are the two stars of the UM offense and the best player on Defense. I don't think it was by chance they took shots at UMs best players.

The footage of the fight has already revealed that FIU started it when their player took a swing at Cyrim Wimbs. Then they took a run at the UM HOLDER and slammed him like a rag doll. After that it was on and the benches cleared.

For all of those saying UM is thugs, you might want to take a look at FIU as well. They not only had more player ejected, they started the fight.

On to the UM players that I saw that should be suspended from a few games. Reddick who swung his helmet is a complete idiot. he should not see the field again this year. That was a cheap act and should not be tolerated. The other was Merriweather. He is clearly seen stomping a guys thigh. While that might not quite be the most heinous act that happened in that fight it was visible and should be punished as well.

Let's not forget the one FIU player that was out there swinging a crutch. I guess he gets a pass from you people because he is not a Cane. Since he was swinging at the Canes it is OK.

Overall it was a terrible scene but I can tell you if someone started a fight when I played I would have been there to back up my guys as well. If some jackoff took a run at a Chiefs player and the entire sideline just watched him get pummeled you would be calling them pussies. Once again since it is UM we all know they are thugs.

In the grand scheme it doesn't really matter what people think of UM. You people have hated them forever and that is OK with me. I would it rather be a small number of fans who support them.

I could have swore I saw a couple of KU backers ripping the canes. If I am wrong was your school just not caught for cheating? Did you not have a player go commando and try to bust up some Taco Bell drive thru worker? Check your own closets before opening your mouths all the time.

[NewChief]

Who is the absolute fool commentator that was running his mouth? That guy should be fired. Completely glorifying Miami's role and saying that he would have liked to run down there and get a piece of that action. Good lord, have some professionalism.

You are 100% correct, but remember the taunting by the Miami player that scored the touchdown. The NCAA needs to come down HARD on both of these schools. But for the Cane fan to try and defend what his team did is what got me going. There was no excuse for what either team did. This isn't a 1st for Miami, as far as I'm concerned they should be place on probation and go to no bowl game this year or next, but we know that won't happen because it would cost the NCAA and the ACC money. FIU should recieve the same punishment.
