Dear Miami: Now THIS is How You Discipline Thugs

The Biscuit

Recently, two Texas Tech players were bus-ted after burglarizing a local home.  Specifically, they took some electronics gear - maybe a DVD player, or an Xbox360.  You know, innocent kid stuff.

Ok okay Miami, I know what you think I’m going to say now.  You thought I’d say “Hey, good job guys, way to go!  Now let’s play some Bond.”  Ummm, no, Miami.  That’s what your thug-hugging @$$’s would say.

Texas Tech did exactly what a team should do when something like this goes down:  they kicked the kids to the curb.  Off the team.  Done and done.

Q’s favorite person, Donna Shanananana (hey hey hey goodbye) would say:  “Those are good kids.  They should be told they were wrong, and they should sit out a game, and then they should be able to come back and be college football stars again.”  But I couldn’t disagree more. 

 Why?  Because NO ONE ELSE GETS THOSE BREAKS.  Kids get caught stealing and they GO TO JAIL.  Ask the local gangbangers in your town.  I’m pretty sure that they don’t lift some Twinkies from the QuickieMart and then suddenly get a full scholarship.  It just doesn’t happen.  

Behavior like this should not be tolerated.  Not by society. Not by schools, and certainly not by football programs.  AND IT WON’T BE BY THE BISCUIT, HOLLA!  All Miami does is encourage the behavior to continue. 

Sadly, I might in some twisted and sick way understand it if The Big U were any good.  You know, they might be afraid of losing some games and becoming a joke of a program (again).  But they SUCKED ALREADY.  So there was nothing to lose, except any small sense of dignity and respect they may have gained over the past few years.

 Ummm, too late.
