I was looking for college football videos on Youtube, and ran into this video. (you may want to mute or turn your speakers off)

Almost all black, except for Dorsey and Shockey, and has a who's who of current pro bowl players and league troublemakers. That rap "song" on the video was actually made by players from that year (Ed Reed was one).

Gotta love where Miami took college football, and even pro football. This year was the peak of their program's caste fantasy, as far as I'm concerned. Early 80s teams at least had a few white players, especially at non-taboo positions.

It's fun to see them losing now. I never liked their teams or what they brought to the game. Plus they played in a run down, half empty stadium (probably the only NC contender in history not to sell out its games) - befitting its thuggish players and team's ghetto attitude.

For more Miami thuggishness, watch this wonderful display of humanity, with fellow neighbor thugs from FIU:

For most schools, coaches can get away with saying they are trying to get "underprivileged youths" out of the ghetto, but Miami seems to pride itself in taking the ghetto to the football field, and even makes guys that are raised in "privileged" environments into thugs - like Kellen Winslow Jr.

This site should give out lifetime achievement awards to programs that fulfill the Caste ideals admirably over a long period of time. The first winner would be Miami Hurricanes (Thug U), followed by other Florida schools.

Agreed FieldThrower. Miami U is the most deplorable on a long list of caste programs. The few times I think of The Hurricanes, I can't help but picture the team of convicts from the movie The Longest Yard. Except there is no Burt Reynolds or Adam Sandler to save the day.
