Maybe we have certain guests and the sideline is going to be slammed packed and only hand full of older players were allowed .. the ones that jumped on it from before.... also I recall seeing Portis on the sidelines at an away game jumping up and down! so there is more to this story and this is not "Golden not letting old school players stand on sidelines" and I am SURE he was given a good reason and was offered VIP treatment , press box and suit access....

PB helped this program and he earns the ticket to say what he wants but i am not buying this story as its being told

^Portis had media credentials with the ACC Digital Network.

This has been a problem going on for several years. I thought Golden had changed it.

Randall Hill complained about the exact same thing PBuch is complaining about in 2010. He was on the sideline before the FSU game when security told him he had to leave at kickoff. Terrell Buckley saw him, and arranged for him to stand on the Noles side during the game. I think Hill said he just stood behind one of the endzones.

Pat Riley complained about it a few years ago on some podcast with Leon Searcy. Riley said he hadn't been to a game in years because he was essentially told that if you weren't a big donor or some famous person you couldn't get sideline passes and were expected to buy tickets. He was ****ed that he had to pay for tickets while DWade and A-Rod, 2 guys who never played for UM, were allowed on the sideline.

You think Donna wants a bunch of millionaire NFL guys on the sideline? She wants these kids dreaming about accounting, and looking up to Shakespeare, not double a gap blitzes and Ray Lewis.

This **** and her supporters have nearly completely turned us into Wisconsin.

See that's the problem, the millionaires are welcome on the sideline. Edgerrin James, Jeremy Shockey, and the like don't have anything to worry about. It's people like Thrill Hill, Riley, and KC Jones that are cut off and told to purchase tickets.

Wasn't Thrill Hill a first round pick with 7 years in the NFL? Is it more about how much they donate to the program?
 
If true that the Administration is doing this crap to the players that build our legacy I pray to God for FSU to put 60 on our team!!

That's just the way it is. If they did a lottery, the doners would complain if they got shafted.

Miami helped PB just as PB helped Miami. But it's a big family with not many seats at the table.

I'm not surprised people are siding with Kim Jong Al's decision to freeze out a championship winning Miami Hurricane player because he publicly called him out for his poor performances.

Ya'll are creepy.

If you just take a second and read what you wrote...I think its YOU is a bit creepy. The guy burned bridges....
 
Miami is suppose 2 be different n family, families talk about each other but love each other. Every alum slurper or mope should be welcome, jimbo gets it.
 
In Al Golden's first ever press conference he said "I welcome the former players". Randy Shannon was the coach who HATED having former players at the game, especially his former teammates.

Warren Sapp has criticized Golden before and guess who invited Sapp last year to spring practice? Golden

These posts just show how much of a cesspool this place is

LMAO at Golden being "family." Your family member tried to sneak off to Penn State in the middle of the night during the stretch run of recruiting. Zany old Uncle Al had his cell phone on silent while he tried to get the Penn St gig. Golden was looking down at 55 missed calls from James and Shalala, hitting reject so his pocket would stop lighting up. **** out of here.

PBuch has hoisted trophies for this U. He's been on record-breaking teams.

Golden hasn't even won a ****ing bowl game. Dude can't even win his own division. He isn't part of this Miami clique. He's an outsider.

Family? SHEEEEEIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.

I'd give Phil's pass to AJ Highsmith. Give him something real to cry about.

Let's even ignore fact here about the real limitations not imposed by Alfred about the amount of people allowed on the sideline. Let's even assume there's a certain allotment that Alfred can personally choose. Why the **** with the amount of distinguished alumni that we have that would want to be there would Phil even get to sniff the sideline for a game like this? Even if the dude hadn't been an idiot publicly, there are scores and scores of guys with more name recongnition and that have given more back to the program than him. Phil should be thankful they're even offering him suite access.
 
the miami football twitter and facebook account tracks nfl canes all sunday but wouldn't let them in on saturdays.

some may call that ironic.

I call that hypocrisy. this must be changed. nfl ballers coming back to the u is one of few things that miami has that no one else has.
 
Would love to have the players back, but unfortunately there was a deal made that keep us from ,what at one point was being called the death penalty.

P buchannon seems to have soft shoulders to me. Anyone that takes to twitter as much as he does is pretty weak IMO.
