The brawl lasted about five minutes, and it took officials several more minutes to sort out the penalties. Players from both sides appeared to be swinging helmets, and one injured FIU player came onto the field swinging a crutch at Miami players.

I've got to see this. Does FIU do video feeds. It would be worth paying $10-$12 to see this.

They just reshowed it on TBS. I saw a replay earlier but this one showed all of it. It honestly looked to me like FIU started the actual brawl. But the Miami players were fighting way way dirty. Using helmets and stomping and kicking with their cleats.

count 'em... 13 ejections!

After Miami beat Texas in the Cotton Bowl one year, the NCAA made a video to explain taunting rules violations. Over 3/4 of the examples were Miami players!

FIU won the fight from the video I saw, and they looked to have not even half as much players as UM

FIU also had more players suspended.

Miami causing fights, who woulda thunk it!?

What an ass. You don't encourage this type of behavior in sports. He should have been condemning it, but he sounded like an ex-UM player who probably washed up in the NFL.

I know our players sometimes lack emotional control, but would we let anything like this happen?

You, my friend, are a genius. That's former Canes WR Lamar Thomas, who did just that.

He has a nice college career, though is most notable from having George Teague just take the ball out of his hands from behind after catching a long bomb in the NC game.....

what a disgrace.

I believe we are scheduled to take on Miami in 08 ,if DD is still here maybe we should just have all the players take kickboxing and not worry about the football game

That color comentator is nothing but a piece of trash.

[UNTFan23]

James Bryant caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from Kyle Wright, then drew a 15-yard flag for unsportsmanlike conduct. After that catch, he appeared to point at the FIU bench, then took a theatrical bow.

Moments later, Peattie kicked the extra point and the brawl started.

Not surprising in the least bit. The comments made by one of the commentators only provides more proof of how thuggish the players are at Miami.

[OldTimer]

I was watching the replays (several) on TV of the brawl and distinctly remember that 10 players from each team were kicked out of the game....wonder where the 13 ejection number came from.

[GreenTiger_OriginalAcct]

Doesn't the NCAA have some control over who announces the games? I would certainly hope that guy has does his last game. If have not heard the audio, just think Keith Jackson, then go to the opposite end of the scale in terms of class, talent, and professionalism and you will get the general idea.

Why does the Miami coach get his team to start chanting at the end?

According to the thug color comentator, they are chanting "We ready, we ready, we ready."

[UNTSIG]

well after last weeks game against FIU, many of you said that with programs like UNT and FIU that ANY publicity is good publicity.... is this good publicity for FIU? I mean, the whole country IS talking about them today!

[eppy4life]

i think fiu just wanted to prove to espn.com that they could be involved in more than just a "pillow fight"
