In related news, the University of Miami inducted 18 members of their team into their school's Hall of Fame for "behavior reinforcing the traditions of our program." Lamar Thomas, color commentator on the broadcast and former UM receiver, was the recipient of an honorary doctorate.

Lifer, maybe you can tell me but was the game broadcasted on a miami hurricanes channel? I guess maybe it would be similar to KNTV (or whatever its called) in Denton? I'm hoping thats the case, and a third party station wouldn't hire someone that ignorant.

Does anyone know the fan website for the Miami Thugs..I mean the Hurricanes ?

It was on Comcast, not a university station.

just heard on dan patrick's show Thomas' reaction to the brawl. Unbelievable...he's the dumbest man alive...and has an arrest record for beating his old lady a few times and threatening suicide....nice hire.

Lamar Thomas at his finest...

[GreenBrigadeDebbie]

This was the first time that I read what Lamar said and boy, what a jerk! I would have been laughing up a storm had FIU beaten Miami after all that smack Lamar said. Boy, talk about eating crow...

Anyway, I personally think he should be fired. What he said was uncalled for!

[UNTLifer]

Based upon his grasp of the English language and proper grammer, I can see why he was highly sought after for this position.

What a dumbass.

[SCREAMING EAGLE-66]

---Considering what Miami has done (about nothing really) it might be best that all non-conference opponents (including us) just cancel their games with Miami... It would sent a message of disapproval.

---Strock at FUI has tried to do the right thing and have correct penalities and removal from the FIU team... Miami has just blown it off..... listen to the Miami President's comments.

As hat reporter in that article said, Miami is Miami and at this point, they have no desire to be anything more than that. I remember the ridiculous team discipline they showed in the Cotton Bowl 10+ years ago vs Texas and thought then they were thugs. And to think they have done nothing to improve their image since then.
