"The U" Preview: Pay For Play x The Fatigues

The Infamous "Pay for Play" Story

Oh Uncle Luke. LOL 

The Infamous "Fatigues" Story

 The Columnist from the Miami Herald at the end sounds like a bigot who doesn't know half what it's like to be the black players on this team... smh
 Here's a snippet from a penn state biased article on the game:
"By then, the Hurricanes were primed to implode in a bizarre display of rebelliousness that still lingers, two decades later. Both teams attended a steak fry, where they were supposed to deliver a brief skit. Penn State's players wore suits and ties. Miami's players wore their black sweat suits, only because, Highsmith insists, the Fiesta Bowl officials told them to. The Penn State punter, John Bruno, made a couple of jokes, dragged out a garbage can labeled with masking tape as Jimmy Johnson's Hair Spray, and made a crack about how much racial harmony there was at Penn State: "We're one big family," he said. "We even let the black guys eat with us at the training table once a week." 

I'd storm out too. It's funny how nobody remembers the racial jokes, but they remember how the "thugs" dressed. Bigots have selective memory I guess... SMH
