Sportsmanship Classes in Dade County

Dateline Miami - So let me get this straight - if you attack players from an opposing team in a bench-clearing brawl this makes you qualified to develop a sportsmanship program? What next? Will we have child molesters giving out child ID kits at the mall? Dr. Kevorkian providing home heath care to the elderly? Mike Shula giving advice on how to score touchdowns? Don’t get me wrong. I can understand making these players provide some type of community service. But I think there’s been some credibility lost in the sportsmanship arena for the Miami football team. One more thing: Don’t read that article more than once. It might affect your judgement.

In other news, it seems that Tennessee pulled out all the stops in their victory over Alabama last weekend. Even the mascot got involved. Smokey was accused of biting and Alabama receiver prior to the game. It seems this isn’t the first incident. Wonder if we could get Miami on Tennessee’s schedule next year? THAT would make for some interesting ‘football’.

Charlie Weis is puzzled. His team dropped in the rankings after struggling to beat UCLA. Welcome to the world of every other college football coach Mr. Wies! Notre Dame is the only team I know that can almost lose to the 5th-ranked team in the Pac-10 and still wonder why they aren’t climbing in the rankings. Why don’t we just award Notre Dame the title in the pre-season and let all the other teams play for 2nd place, Charlie?
