Triple Jack,

I am sure he is a nice boy who happens to be misunderstood.....

[JBC13]

come on fellas...These are just misunderstood college kids....

IF you believe that you are a fucking idiot.....I guarantee over 50% have rap sheets.......Most of these guys are hardened criminal thugs......If you think anything else you are naive......Look at the Canes players that came out guns a blazin about 2 months ago.....

This is what i hate about sports....We glorify thugs....and then pretend we are surprised when something like this happens.....This is how they behave in the hood.....How can we expect anything different.....You can take the homie out of the hood...but you can't take the hood out of the homey....

I hear the same shit...."You would fight too"....Yeah...maybe, but i would not be kicking someone in the face nor swinging my helmet as a weapon......

Typical hit and run ghetto fighting....Never anything straight up about it!!!

i never said they were misunderstood.....so dont go putting words in my mouth....my first post was refering to the fight the other night.....and that is how they beheave in the "hood" if there is a fight going on they are gonna defend there teammates not sit there and watch or think about the consequences.....i love how because someone acts different than you they are a bunch of thugs and we should sit here and make up some rap song and stereotype....i already said what they did was completley wrong....but what are you gonna do when a fight breaks out watch fiu jump your teammate.

your a complete moron

in case you havent noticed about every college football team in the country has a bunch of "thugs" on there team....im not saying what they did was right by any means but if another team starts trying to fight you what are you gonna do? sit there and watch? all these kids that play college football dont usually come from the best neighborhoods, thats there mentality, the way they grew up.....but because thats different form the way most people who watch college football grew up they are just a bunch of thugs i guess Like i said what they did was wrong but what are you gonna do when someone starts a fight with you....it's a lose lose situation.

Jeff, other teams with thugs don't stomp on guys.

if another team starts trying to fight you what are you gonna do?

You are placing all the blame on FIU for the brawl?

We see melees in sports all the time. What happened last weekend was disgraceful. What fucking moron, first enters the brawl without his helmet and second, uses it as a weapon???

[frankb03]

i dont know if coker should be held accountable....he cant control them off the field.

Of course he's accountable. It's called discipline. It starts at the top. Coker is at the top. The Miami athletic director is also accountable. He's allowed this behavior for years. He should be fired along with Coker.

Coker at season end will be fired.

even espn said fiu started the shoving....an fiu guy came on the field with a crutch and started swinging it.....i said it before and i will say it agian im not saying what they did was right at all....but a fight broke out...people are gonna jump in no matter what team it is...where are all the threads about clemson and south carolina being a bunch of thugs? i dont remember seeing those anywhere.

[TwoTonTony]

your a complete moron

dude you are naive....I would fight to answer your question, but i would never kick a man in the face when down, nor use a helmet as a weapon......I fought in brooklyn and taught fighting in the inner city.....i know how things are bro......

In that type of situation a football fight.....you just pair off and get your teammates out of there......what they did was inflammatory and yes it does go back to the ghetto and the anniuncer made a point of it saying they can not come over here and talk mess.....What the fuck is this the crypts and bloods???? You are supposed to be representing a university the last time i checked .....not your block....

And by the way i do not appreciate the moron comments....I was making light of things...

[frankb03]

You can take the homie out of the hood...but you can't take the hood out of the homey....

Well said. I couldn't agree more!

[TwoTonTony]

JBC.......go put on your phat farm gear!!

I agree, what they did is completely wrong. It's wrong no matter what team and what sport. However, the problem here... IMO is that Miami has a history of incidents such as this.

never mind my apology......i dont wear phat farm either....sorry i dont sit here and stereotype.....but i do drive a navigator with 22" rims so maybe i should go buy some phat farm gear.
