More from the dreadful Atlantic Coast

Miami-FIU brawl results in 13 ejections

Miami beat Florida International 35-0 Saturday night in a game marred by a wild brawl in the third quarter that had fists flying, helmets swinging and even crutches being used as weapons.

In all, 13 players were ejected -- eight from FIU, five from Miami, and each will likely face a minimum of one-game suspensions. Officials from both conferences, the Atlantic Coast and Sun Belt, are expected to review the game tape to determine if additional sanctions are necessary.

Does it even matter what the circumstances are? Why weren't Miami players classy enough to not engage in a fight with freaking Florida International (anyone heard of this school, anyone?), especially when you are beating them that badly? I mean, stand up for your guy if they are attacked, but really, just think about the scoreboard, or better yet, just think about who you are and who they are.

And UNC has (wait for it) LOST AGAIN! Only 92 yards of passing will do that for you. The only reason why Carolina is not at the bottom of the standing is that other team about 30 miles down the road, Duke. Because we beat a I-AA school. Barely. I really can't wait for these two teams to meet, although it likely does not matter who wins, they both have a lot to be disappointed about.
