((HT: WPLG-TV))
Two Miami Hurricanes football players are now "former" football players with the school after an incident over the holiday weekend that can only be described as "frightening."
Can't think of any other word to use at the moment...
Jawand Blue and Alexander Figueroa were arrested on charges of sexual battery of a 17-year-old girl and were being held on bonds of $10,000 and $15,000 respectively. Figueroa also had a charge of "possession of a stolen or fictitious driver's license" added.
The police report says that both allegedly gave alcohol to the minor female to the point where she was in a state that she couldn't resist the sex acts the two were performing
Here's the morning report
Athletic Director Blake James released this statement earlier this morning:
“Earlier today, I permanently dismissed Jawand Blue and Alexander Figueroa from the UM football team. The University has also suspended the students from school and barred them from all campus facilities while the University conducts an internal investigation and continues to cooperate with local law enforcement. Any allegation of a sexual assault is extremely serious, and the University will not tolerate conduct that threatens the sanctity and safety of our students and our campus. We hold all of our students – especially student athletes – to the highest standards of moral conduct. The University is committed to maintaining a safe campus environment for all."
UM President Donna Shalala also issued a statement:
"The safety and welfare of our students is fundamental to our mission as a university. We have zero tolerance for sexual assault and gender-based violence," she said. "We will fully and compassionately support the victim of sexual assault. I have spoken to her myself and reassured her of our full support."

DEVELOPING: Franklin Not In Happy Valley Yet... (UPDATED w/7PM Announcement...???)
OSG Sports sources close to the situation at Vanderbilt seem to contradict what Pennsylvania is saying...
Dirty South Sports Report's Jackson Martin is telling us that no one at Vanderbilt- players, coaches, sports information department included- have heard anything about an impending decision for Franklin going back home to take the head coaching gig at Penn State...
Earlier today, ESPN's Brett McMurphy discussed the idea with Jay Crawford that Franklin seems to be going north...
Greg Roman, Mike Munchak, and Al Golden are also candidates...
More when we know more...
1505 UPDATE: Jeff Lockridge of the Tennessean has word from campus via his Twitter...
#Vandy AD David Williams on James Franklin and Penn St. reports: "As of 1:45 p.m. Central, he is still Vanderbilt's football coach.''
1750 UPDATE: From Cory Curtis at WKRN-TV and his Twitter...
Source tells us Vanderbilt expects Penn State to make announcement by 7 PM.
Our Jackson Martin still maintains that no one on campus has any Franklin-based answers on a change of address or a lack of one... so, we'll go with that until we hear otherwise...

Penn St Narrows Coaching Field: Golden and Others To Interview (Update: Golden Offered or Not)
UPDATE 5:00pm 1/3/14:
CaneSport.com reports Al Golden has been offered the Penn State job. If so, take what you read after the CaneSport tweet, with a grain of salt....
However other reports say no. That it hasn't happened.
So who do you believe?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Earlier Story:
So who is it? Al Golden? James Franklin or Mike Munchak?
It depends we guess, on who's website or "expert" you believe in...
Reports are flying fast and furious that Penn State is quickly closing in on a new head coach.
The latest report....it comes from ESPN.com's Joe Schad who says University of Miami head coach Al Golden (a Penn State alum) has agreed to an interview:
And, there's more...
CoachingSearch.com, a very well connected website with lots of inside scoop on coaching moves, reports that Vanderbilt head coach James Franklin will be interviewed on Sunday.
Read that in their daily ticker RIGHT HERE
And ESPN.com's Brett McMurphy adds that Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Munchak, also an alum, and currently still in charge of the Titans, is also going to be interviewed for the gig.
So, does any of this make sense to you?
Golden, does because of his ties. And his apparent love for his alma mater. This despite an arguably better job with a very high profile team.
Franklin however does NOT make sense. Yes, he's from the area, but why would he leave an SEC team that he's had huge success with to take another rebuilding job? Sure, that SEC job is Vanderbilt and yes, Franklin's name comes up for every high profile job. But we just don't think this one makes sense.
As for Munchak, much like Golden, he makes some sense. He's got ties, he's now got the coaching experience. No, he hasn't been incredibly successful with the Titans, but he hasn't been a failure either. You don't often hear of NFL coaches with jobs stepping back, but the Titans are still evaluating Munchak's job and whether or not he'll still have it next season.
Expect something to happen fairly quick. We're guessing Penn State will wait until after Monday's BCS title game to make the announcement, unless it leaks first. But we are very confident it will happen soon and one of these guys is likely to be the hire.

Big Numbers, Big Whoop...Louisville, Miami, Baylor, Pitt
Ranked versus Unranked led to a 17-0 spread and an average score of 47-11...
Some people like it for the idea of getting your back-ups the chance to get reps- just in case...
Others think it's tiresome...
Baylor beat Louisiana-Monroe 70-7 and no one wants to play Baylor
((HT: KWTX-TV))
Iowa put up 59 against a directional Michigan school while Michigan actually just survived a UConn road game...
Savannah State picked up another paycheck traveling to Miami to get whacked by Miami 77-7. The spread was 60 and they covered...
“I know that I can change a program like this,” first-year Savannah State coach Earnest Wilson said. “We aspire to be big-time. A game like this helps us judge where we are. The only difference is depth. I know I have to go out and recruit and get some guys like they have.”
Savannah State got $375,000 for taking the trip to Miami, plus another chance to line up against a ranked program. The game was shortened in the fourth quarter. Wilson and Miami’s Al Golden talked at halftime and agreed to trim 3 minutes off the final quarter.
“I’ve been there,” Golden said. “I’ve been on the other side of those at Temple. He was trying to teach his team how to keep fighting. I’ve been in his shoes.”
Here's the highlights...
In Louisville, Teddy Bridgewater threw four touchdown passes and Louisville's defense allowed a school-record 30 yards, helping the seventh-ranked Cardinals blow out Florida International 72-0. It was the highest scoring game for the Cardinals since a 73-10 victory over Murray State in 2007. It also matched the school's fifth-largest margin of victory.
And in a game that, actually, was entertaining about it...
Pitt and Duke went after each other to the tune of a 58-55 shootout where the Panthers had to run out the clock on the ground...
What this says about Coach Cut and the Duke defense, the HQ doesn't really know... but there should be reason for optimism with the offense...

Florida's Mistakes Cost The Gators, Miami Prevails Giving Head Coach Al Golden A Signature Win
It's hard to win a football game committing five turnovers.
It's impossible when three of those turnovers occur inside the red zone.
The Florida Gators found that out in Sun Life Stadium Saturday. The Gators five turnovers cost them in a 21 to 16 loss to Miami.
The numbers say Florida should have dominated this game.
Florida's offense put up 413 yards of total offense almost doubling Miami's total output of 212
Miami was just 1-11 on third down conversions
Giving the ball up killed the Gators.
Gator quarterback Jeff Driskel threw for a career best 291 yards but his two interceptions were very costly.
"I thought he hit some balls down the field." Florida head coach Will Muschamp said. "I thought he did some nice things in the run game. But you can’t have the turn overs, especially in the red zone. You can’t do that. You can’t make those decisions. We can’t afford to take points off the board in those situations and that’s such an emotional lift for the other team. So that just can’t happen.”
When Miami needed to make plays on defense, the 'Canes got it done coming up with a key fumble or an interception.
Miami head coach Al Golden sprinted off the field with his first signature win as the Hurricane's head coach.
We’ve been through so much." Golden said. "It was almost cathartic, to be honest with you. It was 26 months just unleashed there in the last four or five seconds. I’m proud of these guys. You guys watched us grow – we couldn’t handle this setting a year ago."
It's an important win for the ACC in their "rivalry" with the SEC. If you are keeping score of such things it's SEC 3, ACC 2
Wait until the rivalry games are played on Thanksgiving weekend to see if the ACC can get the best of the SEC with three head to head match-ups.

What Was Mike London Thinking...??? And The Rest Of The Day In The A-Cee-Cee
((HT: ACC Digital Network))
With a minute or so left in regulation, the HQ was wondering out loud why Virginia head coach Mike London wasn't calling time out to force Virginia tech to kick the game-leading field goal a lot earlier than five seconds left in regulation...
Which Beamer did... and turned the game-leading field goal into the game-winning field goal...
The HQ is still scratching our head over that one...
And Vah Tech is now bowl-eligible for the 20th year in a row...
What was Mike London thinking...???
Any ideas...???
In other news, Georgia toyed with Georgia Tech 42-10 in getting ready for Alabama in the Ess-E-Cee... shocking no one...
Apparently, and for good reason, CPJ was berating his team and could be heard through the metal doors separating his team from the civilized world after the game.
Also, Duke and Miami combined for more than 1,200 yards and 97 points and had three straight possessions end in one play scoring drives- one for Duke that was the length of the field...

Canes Ban Themselves Again...
If the HQ was Miami head coach Al Golden, we'd jet right now...
Here was the statement the school put out this morning from AD Blake James...
President Donna Shalala and the school's legal counsel were also involved in the decision.
"Considerable deliberation and discussion based on the status of the NCAA inquiry went into the decision-making process and, while acknowledging the impact that the decision will have on current student-athletes, coaches, alumni and fans, a determination was made that voluntarily withholding the football team from a second postseason was not only a prudent step for the University to take but will also allow for the football program and University to move forward in the most expedited manner possible."
The school is hoping that, by doing this, they can allay the fears of the NCAA when it comes to Uncle Nevin and all of his alleged shenanigans...
It's the second straight year that the school is post-season banning themselves...
After the Canes win over South Florida this weekend, Golden was ready to fire...
"Come at me. Bury me all you want. Attack me all you want. These kids who have stuck it out, who have stayed here, who have never gotten one week in two years without hearing about all this nonsense, don't blame them. And I appreciate all those kids that not only stayed here, but those guys that answered the bell, that answered the call to come here and fix this. And we will get it fixed."
And all the new self-imposed ban does is create a problem for the A-Cee-Cee...
If the Canes beat Duke, they tie for first in the Coastal with Duke. But Georgia Tech will represent the division against Florida State in the Championship Game.
Wake and Virginia Tech need wins to become bowl eligible this weekend...
Got all that...???

Ankles Aren't Supposed To Go That Way...
((HT: ACC/FSSouth))
In the Miami-Georgia Tech game yesterday, it was odd on a lot of levels and unfortunate on one big one...
Miami built a 19-0 lead, lost it, tied the game to send it into overtime at 36 and won in the bottom of the first when Tech couldn't convert a 4th-and-1 in the top half...
All that aside...
This happened to Hurricanes WR Malcolm Lewis...
And it's not for the squeamish...

And it's not for the squeamish...
Miami head coach Al Golden went out onto the field at that point and actually comforted his wide out when he really needed it...
"You could see from about 50 yards away that something was not right,”
Golden said. “When I got out there I just wanted the kid to understand
we were there for him. I think the medical people did a great job to get
it in place and get it back in there. I don’t know what it’s going to
mean for his health. But what a great job by our medical people to do
what they did."
The school has announced that Lewis dislocated his ankle...
The HQ hopes it's not as bad as it looked, but it did look pretty bad...

Uh Oh...Yahoo Sports connects Al Golden with Nevin Shapiro associate
 |
| Al Golden |
So much for University of Miami coach Al Golden saying he is trying to distance the school from the damage done by former booster Nevin Shapiro.
In a somewhat scary report released Friday afternoon, Yahoo Sports reporter Charles Robinson details the relationship between Golden, his staff and former equipment manager and Shapiro co-hort Sean "Pee-Wee" Allen.
Allen is apparently accused of providing improper benefits to Miami players for years and more recently as an "Off-The Books" recruiter for "The U". And the last part...that assignment was given to him by Golden and the staff.
Read Robinson's detailed report RIGHT HERE
The NCAA has yet to act on the multitude of allegations that have been hurled against Miami by them and for that matter, by Shapiro. They say the issue is "Still being investigated".
Okay, why has it taken over a year?
If any--or all of these allegations are true, then Miami needs to pay the price and suffer harsh penalties. But...we aren't convinced that is going to happen. It should, but we don't think it will. We couldn't tell you what the excuse will be. But we believe there will be one.
Surely something will turn up. Right?
Here's the Yahoo! video version...

DEVELOPING: Canes Not Going Bowling
Since the NCAA is still chasing and sorting the adventures of Uncle Nevin on the Miami Hurricanes campus, the university has decided that they will not attend a post-season bowlgame if selected to do so...
"We understand and share the disappointment that our student-athletes, coaches, staff, supporters and fans are feeling but after lengthy discussions among university leaders, athletic administrators and outside counsel, it is a necessary step for our university," Miami said in a statement. "The University of Miami has not self-imposed any other penalties."
Of course, if anyone watched the Miami-South Florida game yesterday, a lot of people would think that the offenses were, indeed, offensive... and neither would be worthy of going to a bowl game...
Here's kicker Jake Wieclaw after kicking the game-winner in the 6-3 snoozefest...

Once Again Virginia Pulls Off A Win Over Miami
Just when you thought the Miami Hurricanes had found their groove the 'Canes stub their toe.
Virginia ended Miami's two game win streak defeating the Hurricanes 28-21 at Sun Life Stadium.
Here's the highlights from Sun Life Stadium. (Thanks ESPN)
"It's a great win. Road victory against a really good team." Virginia head coach Mike London said after the game.
Since London took over as head coach at UVa last season his Cavalier teams seem to own Miami. It's the Wahoos second win in a row of over the Hurricanes.
Miami head coach Al Golden addressed the media after the game.

Miami Declares 8 Ineligible For Maryland, So Far...
Including QB Jacory Harris and LB Sean Spence...
And what this action does, really, is force the NCAA into a more immediate investigation into the eligibility (or lack thereof) of the athletes involved in the current Nevin Shapiro entanglement...
The HQ gets this gambit completely...
Auburn did the same thing with Cam Newton and forced the NCAA's hand into declaring him eligible. Miami is hoping the same thing will happen with their ineligibilities...
Is that a word...??? It is now...
Susan Miller Degnan's piece in the Miami Herald detailing everything is hyah...
Another five players, all believed to be footballers, were not declared ineligible because the school believes the value of the gift was less than $100.
Here's Al Golden having to answer questions about stuff he shouldn't have to answer...
((HT: WFOR-TV Miami))
The only downside to the whole reinstatement process is that the NCAA looks at each case individually, so Miami will have to wait. Golden was set to name all of his eligible players Tuesday as preparation for the game against Maryland...

Miami head coach Al Golden has not released the Hurricanes depth chart for the season opener against Maryland Labor Day night.
According to CBS Sports.com Golden confirmed that at least 12 players will most likely be ruled ineligible by the university in hopes they will be cleared by the NCAA before the season opener.

Remember the Name Nevin Shapiro...
Since he may bring all sorts of fun, allegations, and infractions to the University of Miami before it's all said and done...
Shapiro has a relationship with Da U that goes back almost ten years or so. He claimed that he had players on his yacht and gave a handful of players, what the NCAA would consider, illegal benefits. Some of the alleged incidents occurred in the past four years, which would be within the NCAA's statute of limitations regarding violations.
Miami officials said that when Shapiro first made his allegations nearly a year ago, he and his attorneys refused to provide any facts to the school.
"The university notified the NCAA enforcement officials of these allegations," the school said in a statement. "We are fully cooperating with the NCAA and are conducting a joint investigation. The University of Miami takes these matters very seriously."
Miami head coach Al Golden knows that some things may have gone wrong, but he obviously wouldn't have any idea on what since he wasn't around then...
He addressed the matter before practice...
((HT: WFOR-TV))
Why is Shapiro coming out with all of this now...???
He's coming up on Ponzi scheme charges and has a book coming out as well...
