• Maybe the Hurricanes Don't Completely Suck at Basketball

  Up until last night, the '09 edition of the University of Miami basketball team had been acting more like a UM football squad circa the 1990s, in all its cocaine-fueled, felonious glory. Except without all the victories. Best of both worlds, really. The school tossed point guard Eddie Rios off the team last month after he admitted to hiding more than $3,400 in stolen electronics -- including a Sony laptop, an Xbox 360, and 12 DVDs -- in a white pillowcase under his dorm-room desk. The C

• Coker Eyeing Coaching Comeback

  Larry Coker got fired from his gig as University of Miami's football coach after a six-loss season, and left the school with a respectable winning percentage of .800 and a national championship. Shortly thereafter, he lost out on a coaching job at Rice and has held some analyst gig at ESPNU ever since.It seems he misses the on-field action and announced he applied to coach the University of Texas at San Antonio Roadrunners football program.The what? The team doesn't exist yet but is scheduled to

• From Valedictorian to Poker Star to Sports Illustrated Bikini Model

  The Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue has hit the newsstands, I repeat, the The Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue has hit the newsstands. Inside you'll find a former Broward area high school valedictorian, and University of Miami law student Vanessa Rousso. She dropped out of UM, and became a bona-fide poker star, and now she gets her very own Sports Illustrated advertorial spread paid for by an online poker site. So, no, she's not an official SI bikini girl, but its close enough.

• UM Sees Not Even the Slightest Bit of Shame in A-Rod's Game

  University of Miami is clearly not embarrassed about naming its baseball stadium after an admitted steroid user. So much so that Alex Rodriguez is front and center on UM's homepage. The media, admittedly, is being overly hard on Rodriguez, considering more than 100 other players tested positive at the same time, but UM is a school that pretends to value integrity in its athletes so much that it suspended the starting quarterback for missing four classes. Of course, maybe if Robert Marve ponie

• What's The Deal With Bryce Brown?

  About a year ago Bryce Brown as a promising, young high school running back orally committed to the University of Miami footballing concern. Makes sense, considering his older brother Arthur is also a Cane, but then Brown found him self the top rated recruit in the entire US of A, and decided to keep his options open well past National Signing Day. His offer from UM officially expires today. The Palm Beach Post claimed yesterday that UM will not offer him another one. See young Bryce made some c

• UM Frat Has Members Arrested For Drug-Related Charges ...Again

  Zeta Beta Tau's official song is "My Brother, Here is my Hand." The chapter at the University of Miami might as well amend it with "...it is full of drugs, so many, many drugs." Today, the Coral Gables Police Department Vice Squad raided the historically Jewish fraternity's house on UM's campus as part of an ongoing investigation into the the sale of drugs. They ended up arresting two members. In November 2007, three members of the same fraternity were arrested for burglary and felony battery af

• UM Addresses The Impact of Econ Crisis

  Nothing is immune to the economic crisis, not even the palm tree'd oasis in Coral Gables known as the University of Miami. After many alumnus expressed their concern, president Donna Shalala sent out a letter to all alum today addressing the impact on UM. Here's the highlights: UM has made a lot of aggressive investments in the past few years. They're confidant they'll play out in the long run, but in the meantime are slowing growth and narrowing focus. That means the previously reported hiring

• UM Tennis Players Invite Fans to Watch Rival Coach "Take It in the Ass"

  via facebookSorry, guys, the Williams sisters are more gangsta than you. Hell, Jelena Jankovic is more gangsta. After Randy Shannon came aboard and decided to portray the football team as a monastery, it's been up to other University of Miami athletes to pick up the slack and keep the spirit of Thug U alive. The UM men's tennis team seems to be willing, in its own inept, frat boy-ish way. They'll play UVA (#1 team in the nation, if you care) this Friday, and some team members have politely asked

• UM Offers Umbrella Escorts To Protect Students From Bird Menace

  still from The Birds I am a victim. This is my story. Last year, because their was literally no parking left anywhere on University of Miami's Coral Gables campus, I parked behind the northern dining hall. While making my way to my car, I was attacked. By a hawk. It came down on my head, scared the crap out of me, and worse, messed up my hair. Sadly, I was not the only one. These birds were allowed to attack students while the faculty sat back and did nothing. Finally, the University of Mi

  After the infamous 2006 brawl, the University of Miami and Florida International University decided to call it quits on their burgeoning rivalry. The football teams haven't played each other since, the baseball teams won't meet this season, and a match in December 2008 between the basketball teams was supposed to be the last time the two schools met in the big three sports for the foreseeable future. Then some weird things happened: mainly a complete economic downturn and the signing of Isi

• UM Just Gives in and Uses the "U" Logo for Everything

  We all know the "U," but did you know the University of Miami had another logo? Some boring green thing. It was actually the school's logo, while the U represented the sports teams. So after surveying alumni, forming focus groups, and probably spending more money on this than necessary, the school will officially adopt the U as the logo for everything. [Herald: All of University of Miami to adopt Hurricanes' 'U' logo]

School President Donna Shalala sent text messages and e-mails around 3 p.m. today asking folks to "stay away from windows." Students are becoming restless. From inside the gym, Senior Joey DiFrancesco says: "To be honest, I'm getting a little pissed off; it's just a B-B gun. I've got somewhere to
