The Boys of Summer
Just when you thought the wave homoerotic pictures had lifted after the motion picture “300″ faded from the national conciousness, here comes . . . the Miami Hurricanes weight room group hug photo.

(h/t JC Ridley’s photo blog)
Miami’s head coach Randy Shannon sure has changed the culture of the Miami Hurricanes. Apparently they have shunned the Miami street life culture of violence and the drug trade for the more provocative and modern approach of South Beach. It’s too bad the “Men of Summer” can’t become the “Men of Fall” and return to their ways of glory. Still, they are sure to be among the new “must have” and best selling posters in any federal penitentiary gift shop.

Keltic Gator, come on now. I’ll give it to you that the Miami poster with some shirtless, oiled up Canes is right up there with a Wham! video from 1985… but are you REALLY going to ‘go there’ with the federal penitentiary crap?
How many Canes have gotten in hot water this decade as compared to your Gators? Upwards of 16-17 arrests and issues on Urban Myth’s watch since taking over. Can’t say the same for the Canes, brother.
The poster is lame, but so is your trite and played out stab at The U regarding ‘thugs’ and what not.
UiF has absolutely taken the crown as biggest thugs in state several years running now.

Well, Canes305, regardless of what happens, we can both agree on one thing.
The academic problems that Florida State is having are all fun and games to the both of us - until somebody gets hurt.

The penitentiary jab wasn’t aimed at the players themselves but of the “alternative lifestyle” practiced in some prisons and how they would love a poster like that (regardless of who was in it).

Coach Shannon has done an outstanding job cleaning up UM’s program, while still maintainig UM’s great recruiting standards. But let’s not forget, you aren’t even 2 years removed from the above incident.

Yeah . . . the posted video link above says it all. That would NEVER happen with an Urban Meyer football team. So you can say whatever you want about Gainesville cops having nothing better to do than arrest kids with dimebags of pot and for making honest attempts to pay towing fines and retrieve their girlfriend’s cars. But everyone knows who “thug U” is, and it is definitely not UF!

Almost forgot, see you in the swamp cane punks, we’ll see if that baby oil helps you tackle Tim Tebow or Brandon “dimebag” James.

Oh the photo,
Gives new meaning to “hit me deep”
“man to man coverage”
“under center”
I kid, I kid . . .
