    Just for the record, it's University of Miami. Miami University is in Ohio.

    You're a jerk. Have a heart, Pata was a good guy. I can't believe you think he deserved to die for going to a college that had a bad reputation 15 years ago. I'm an alum, and this is the first I read about this.

    anyone who says something bad like that is just simply going to go to hell
    i never met the kid but i feel bad for his family. how can you not?
    on cold pizza this morning the video was heart breaking. i dont wish this on anyone.

    you can call miami "thug u" if you want but that doesnt mean a 22 year old kid needs to be shot and killed. and frankly, what does that have to do with anything? If you wanna be an asssshole, do it somewhere else, noone has time for your childish comments. dont discriminate for where he went to college. you just wish you could have went somewhere with a prominent football program like miami, your a sad lonely sack of **** who never did anything with his life, beings your probably 5 foot 1 and 90 pounds so you cant play football anyway so you feel you can be a commentator. would you say this if the guy went to Notre Dame or USC? i doubt it, so stop hating for the wrong reasons and have a heart. because if it was you i would say the same thing, and for the record this has NOTHING to do with football its about a 22 year old who never will have a fair chance probably over something stupid. comments like yours just make you look like a jerk-off and just make people ask why it wasnt you. so maybe you should watch what you say. if you feel that way, i feel sorry for YOU. dont be cruel because the kid played at miami, where you wish would have even had a chance. i will pray for your soul as well as Bryan Pata.

    I have watched Pata in the Orange bowl for the past several years and he always made a great effort and from what I have read was a soft spoken leader both on and off the field. I would not want any player to get hurt (let alone killed) while they are working so hard to try and make a career in Football or any other sport. And to call this tragedy swift justice is totally moronic.
    While it is true that our program is having an unusually difficult season on the field (winning percentage wise), I am pretty confident that the University of Miami will find its way back to the top. Everyone was calling the program dead nine years ago (1997) when we had a bad season. Five years later they are being called one of the greatest teams ever (2002). I know the majority of fans are against UM, and I think the players at UM are okay with that. But have a heart and don't make stupid remarks if you can help it.

    I have to apologize for my statement above. I just saw a story about him on TV and I was very wrong in my assessment of the guy. He was not one of the thugs involved in the brawl against FIU.

    Jerseydriver your comments to me and about me were as bad as the one I made about Pata. I have apologized for what I said. Now it is your turn to apologize to me. If you don't you are no better than all the crap you were throwing at me.

    Regardless of what was said above, and regardless of the NAME of the school - it could be ANY school or ANY Pro team - what bothers the hell out of me is it seems at least once a week we hear:

    'so-and-so was arrested in an altercation outside a bar at 4 a.m.'...........

    or

    'so-and-so was pulled over for speeding, and a subsequent search discovered a hand gun and 2 oz of pot'

    or

    'so-and-so was booked for assault at 3 a.m. outside his former girlfriend's apartment'.

    Doesn't anyone learn ? College OR Pro ??

    you have to remember that i am very close with the miami football team and anything negative is going to trigger me to defend, you can understand that right?

    i told you how i felt and i didnt unload on you the way i would normally but over the computer it is just stupid. now i do feel that you are sincere about realizing you were wrong and you did standup like a man and took it. i accept your apology.

    in return i do apologize nyself for flying off the handle, you understand right? i dont want to start any problems so i will join you and stand up like a man and apologize to you.

    its not for what i said because i am defending the kid. i am apologizing to you for directing it at you. lets just bury it and remember this young man for all the positive things and stop any violence because you can see what it ultimately ends up doing. again sorryto you and another R I P to Bryan Pata

    Agreed. Once again let me say it was a stupid statement and one I should not have made. It will be behind me now and thank you for your response.
