There Was a Hurricane Blowing During “The Brawl” This Weekend

Blustering hot air and typical classless Miami bullsh*t.
From the BROADCAST booth.

Comments made by TV analyst and former Miami player Lamar Thomas during a sideline-clearing brawl involving the Hurricanes and Florida International will be edited out before the game is replayed later this week.
Thomas may also lose his job with Comcast Sports SouthEast, a regional cable network available in 5.5 million homes.
…“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.”
Miami and Florida International have campuses 9 miles apart in Miami-Dade County. It was the first meeting between the two programs, and the Hurricanes went on to win 35-0.
As the fight slowed, Thomas’ comments continued.
“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.”

major dad said “it’s astonishing!” I said no, it’s not. “It’s Miami.” And he agreed. There weren’t t-shirts in the 80’s for the Notre Dame-Miami game that said…

Catholics versus the Convicts

…for nothing. And Donna Shalala says Coker’s job is safe.
THAT’S astonishing.

    How did that old ditty go? Oh, yes…
    Shalala!
    Got me on my knees
    Shalala!
    Prez of Miami
    Shalala!
    She’ll appease the boosters every time
    I’d like to know, did Thomas’ broadcast partner chide him on-air, at all? Because I would have asked him, “Lamar, are you on crack? I thought you gave up drugs when you graduated.” And then we’d both be fired.
