Oh how far the Miami Mean Machine have fallen. Apparently too many players were parolled.

Some dumba-- is doing testing work on an open mike.
C'mon guys. Pay attention.

[BrianTinBigD]

Wonder what 2 spare mid market sports flunkies will be doing the play by play on Cheapa$$ Sports TV?

[JesuitPony]

[Mustangs35SMU]

Here we go. SMU vs Tulane Next.

[Mustangs35SMU]

Doesn't look like that many people are there.

[Mustangs35SMU]

SMU is on the field and Tulane is about to follow.

[BrianTinBigD]

Carter Blackburn and Brian Jones are doing the game. Should be a treat. Apparently everyone is still on the BLVD, oh wait. Apparently nobody cares. There were more at the Allen v. Plano game last night.
