and you have 5 players suspended ...I put that on them testing the new coach. But then there was this guy, Ramon Buchanan, who seems to think the good (bad) old days are back. Under Shannon the 'Canes rarely were seen on the police blotter. Is Al Golden going back to the past to revive the program? Of course it could also just be one guy acting like a jerk as well. For the record I don't think Al Golden has any kind of reputation as being lax on discipline. I don't know if he's tough either though. Hurricanes
I'll take the bait... The five players were suspended for non academic reasons. AKA not meeting Coach Goldens new rules like no wearing of hats in class, being late for class or being late for team meetings among other things. It made Seantrel Hendersons dad so mad he flew unanounced into Miami and said that he might transfer his son out of Miami. The answer to him was Coach Golden is on vacation but if you would have called us to let us know you were coming we could have worked out a meeting. If you want to have your son transfer that is your business and we will write up the papers to start the process. Seantrel later that day confessed that he was in the wrong and his Dad retracted his earlier statements. Being a child of a policeman and having a brother-in-law who is a policeman in Coral Gables where Buchanan was arrested it seems Buchanan thought it was unfair that he be arrested. He not only resisted arrest he head butted one of the policemen, spit in anothers face and cried out that I'm a football player on the Miami Hurricanes you can't do **** to me. The immediate result for the fifth year senior was that he is suspended indefinitely and is off the team, adios don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out... As far as opposing fans seeming to need Miami to put on the Darth Vader mask and be the incarnate of evil again the year is 2011 and Don Johnson of the 1980's is only on in re-runs of Miami Vice and oh yeah the Miami Hurricanes are not going to go back to the bad ole days of 25-30 years ago.
I thought the 5 guys who were suspended probably were testing the new coach to see if he was going to be like Shannon. The guy who got into it with the cops is obviously and idiot. Wasn't really trying to bait you, really!! :wink: :wink:
