Have pondered this one since Saturday nite and have decided that I don't give a fine piss up a rope what they do with any of them. FIU is a non-player and but for this incident, most of us wouldn't even know they exist, or is so, where the school is located. As for Miami, you reap what you sow. If you recruit thugs, don't be surprised when they bust a cap in yo azz.
"Now, that's what I'm talking about," Thomas said as the brawl raged out of control. "You come into our house, you should get your behind kicked. You don't come into the OB playing that stuff.

I was about to go down the elevator to get in that thing." -Lamar Thomas **courtesy of espn.com Good freakin riddance...

''We don't condone Lamar's statements,'' CSS general manager Mark Fuhrman said. ``He unfortunately got caught in the emotion of it.
