College football made me sick this weekend...

Are you kidding me? What a turn of events in college football. First, the Hokies are much worse than I ever thought. This team lacks leadership, starting at the top (that's you Beamer).

Second, Miami's bench clearing brawl was one of the more disgusting events I've seen in awhile. I understand fighting, but come on, stomping on people when they are laying on the ground defenseless and swinging your helmet as a weapon is a bit over the line. I expected several Miami players (especially the dude who was stomping on people and then running away cowardly) to be kicked off the team. Well, guess what, that guy is the defensive captain, so let's just suspend him for one game. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? According to Miami's president Donna Shalala:

"I believe that the young men we have recruited for our football team are young men of great character," Shalala said. "But they did a very bad thing."

Ya think? Hmm, maybe the one game suspensions you handed out will teach them a lesson....maybe not. Donna, wake up, any player who was out there trying to maim or end the career of another player should be kicked off the team immediately. That would send the message. You have done nothing to dissuade these players from doing this again.

At least FIU got it right. They kicked two players off of the team and suspended 16 others indefinitely.

As for my Hokies, according to Frank Beamer "What we're going to do is work like heck to make people proud of how we play on the field and what we do off the field." Blah, blah, blah. We've heard this same song and dance for years now. So far this team has had 3 players arrested this year. Each receiving a one game suspension. Give me a break. Four personal fouls last week against BC makes me so proud to be a Hokie. :(
