allCanesblog, you might be overreacting a little. The sad thing is I agree with you mostly about the NCAA and this rule. But even you agree that this incident, which is what this article is written about (not Miami in general, just Thomas and his stupid antics). Thomas was classless.
A program that “hates Miami”? Since when? Way to give yourself WAY too much credit. Miami is way down the list as a team that Arizona fans love to hate. At a bare minimum- ASU, USC, Duke , and Oregon all have you beat in terms of programs we “hate”.

Those old Miami teams may have hurt some feelings with their swagger, but so what? You have to earn the right to not get taunted and no one was good enough to stop them at the time. And the Canes took what came to them when they did get beat. It’s college athletics, they’re going to get excited. Let the players have fun during the games. Not the NCAA’s best decision.

All about that []_[]

Finally, someone pointing out what Miami really brought to college football. Due to all of the taunting, brawls, showboating, dancing and hip grinding, the NCAA now has some rules to combat it. However, the unjust aspect of all of this is that Miami was never called for these penalties when it mattered most and now teams that are honestly celebrating and getting flagged. The refs are somewhat to blame for not understand the Miami style of taunting with honest team celebrations but Miami football is to blame for this mess.

There was a very brief clip of it on ESPN’s 30 for 30 series in the episode called “The U” … although the clip was was misidentified as being against Cal State-Long Beach (which had been the Canes’ previous opponent). “The U” still airs occasionally on the ESPN networks, including on ESPN U on Friday at 1 p.m. Tucson time.

CanesBlog,

It was just a story about one moment in time and how it affected one player, in particular. As for the wisdom of the new rule, I agree that it might not be a great idea to put even more emphasis on an official’s “judgment” when it comes to points coming off the board.

The type of piece I’d expect from a Tucson paper and a program that hates Miami.
Lamar Thomas’ antics were over the top, but rest assured that karma caught up with him a year later when George Teague stripped him en route to the end zone in the national title game.
Either way, those over the top antics haven’t been a part of the college game for well over a decade now and these new rules are a joke. That’s not a “Miami fan” talking – it’s a college football fan tired of the gestapos that are the NCAA.
You don’t take points off the board for showboating. That’s ludicrous. This will change the impact of games and again, what does one referee deem ‘showboating’ versus another? It’s all speculative.
So a Miami goes to play a Florida in The Swamp and gets stuck with crooked SEC officials — how is THAT going to turn out? Any visiting team dealing with the foe’s conference referees? NO way this doesn’t create MORE controversy for an already flawed game.

Does any video of that incident exist on the web?
