Doesn't this guy also have a history of beating women?

I don't know.

I wouldn't say it if I'm not 100% sure.

At first I thought you were confusing Miami with Nebraska, but it turns out you're correct.

Somehow I'm not surprised...

I never heard of the other Florida teams being consistently trashy other than Miami.

Other than the occasional crazy every program gets have Florida and Fla State been like the Hurricanes in the past?

Certainly Miami is in a league of their own. And to the best of my recollection, Florida has avoided legal problems. However, FSU has a lot of issues just within the last five years or so. Just off the top of my head - AJ Nicholson, Adrian McPherson, Derrick Gibson, Sebastian Janikowski, Laveranues Coles and Peter Warrick. And I'm sure I've forgotten some names.

I sort of remember a few lines about them.

Thanks for jarring the memory.

Were you at the game Saturday night?

I was. Great atmosphere, even though the result wasn't what I was hoping to see...

"Furhman was upset Lamar failed to use the N word often enough during the brawl."

Are you sure it wasn't because he threw the boxing gloves away after the brawl?

My frickin satellite went down, I read the crowd was insanely loud, was very bummed to have missed it.

Also read that Joepa and the offensive players said that was the best defense they had faced this year.

Yep, that place was rocking right up until the last series.

Also read that Joepa and the offensive players said that was the best defense they had faced this year.

It certainly looked that way to me. Their D-line is outstanding.

Good.

Totally agree. Say what you will about sports commentators (and I have), that's a new level of unprofessional.

11/4, at Wisconsin. We should be favored in every other game the rest of the season, so if we can pull that one off we could still run the table and finish 9-3 (with all three losses to Top 5 teams). That would be a pretty successful year...

That will be tough going in there. That is a highly underrated team IMO. Should be a great game.

Also consider that Rush got fired for saying something far less inflammatory than attempting to egg on a bench clearing brawl.

Yep...the following is NOT a rant at you GOP.

Speaking of unprofessional, I'd like to take issue with the Big Ten idiots that gave exclusive rights to ESPNU for the Buckeyes game this week.

99% of the people who would tune into that game don't have ESPNU and won't get it just for that game.

Way to go idiots.

I agree. Before the season I had this team at 8-4, with losses to ND, OSU, Michigan and Wisconsin.
