The U -- In all it's glory

Lamar Thomas, former University of Miami football player turned short time commentator, was fired for comments made during the brawl with FIU, yet another embarassing Miami moment. 

"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. You're across the ocean over there. You're across the city. You can't come over to our place talking noise like that. You'll get your butt beat. I was about to go down the elevator to get in that thing."

That was followed by:

"I say, why don't they just meet outside in the tunnel after the ball game and get it on some more? You don't come into the OB, baby," Thomas said. "We've had a down couple years but you don't come in here talking smack. Not in our house."

It just goes to show, not only does Miami recruit thugs, but it grooms, them and sends them out into the world. 

In all honesty though, jokes aside, has anyone really seen the saddest part of this incident?  The university of Miami got into a brawl with FIU -- Florida International University.  How many folks outside of Miami-Dade county knew what FIU stood for before Saturday night?
