Ray-Ray Armstrong Was Kicked Off Miami’s Football Team
Highly-touted safety Ray-Ray Armstrong is no longer a Miami Hurricane. Al Golden kicked the former five-star recruit off the team. Armstrong was rumored to have mentioned his activity with a booster on twitter.
Rivals’ No. 13 overall recruit in 2009, Armstrong was expected to break out in 2011 after being named second-team All-ACC as a sophomore in 2010, but multiple suspensions limited him to just seven games. He missed four games to start the season for his involvement in the Nevin Shapiro scandal. He also missed time as Miami investigated a dinner with a friend who works for a PR firm.
Armstrong was expected to be one of the top safeties in the country in 2012, and a potential first-round NFL draft pick. He missed the deadline for the supplemental draft and will likely end up in FCS. Miami now has just nine returning starters combined on offense and defense from 2011.

That’s what he gets for stealing a name that should be reserved for a jazz musician.
July 18th, 2012 at 1:49 PM
Well that wasn’t very smart, dummy.
July 18th, 2012 at 1:50 PM
His destiny would have been different if his parents slapped a Le in front of that great name.
July 18th, 2012 at 1:51 PM
Armstrong was rumored to have mentioned his activity with a booster on twitter.
How is that a rumor? He put something on twitter and people saw it.

I can’t wait for the post about the IT department being kicked off the BLS team
July 18th, 2012 at 1:55 PM
Fear the muthafuckin roo!
July 18th, 2012 at 1:55 PM
His name is Ray-Ray, fwiw

July 18th, 2012 at 1:58 PM
You can call me Ray, or you can call me….uhhhhh…Ray.
July 18th, 2012 at 2:00 PM
Switched to Ray-Ray to conform with other news outlets, though he went “Ray Ray” no hyphen on twitter.
July 18th, 2012 at 2:03 PM
Even the Miami Herald didn’t have what he said though. Was it a public thing or was it a DM?
July 18th, 2012 at 2:03 PM
Hmm, maybe it doesn’t even matter to him. I’ve always seen it written with the dash. I’m not very surprised by him being tossed but it’s disappointing. I’m just crossing my fingers and hoping the rumors about Seantrel going next are nothing more than rumors.
July 18th, 2012 at 2:05 PM
Even the Miami Herald didn’t have what he said though. Was it a public thing or was it a DM?
It was public. InsidetheU.com had a story about it when it happened.
July 18th, 2012 at 2:08 PM
So what was the interaction?
July 18th, 2012 at 2:09 PM
is seantrel gonna be awesome this year?
July 18th, 2012 at 2:10 PM
Kissing and heavy petting
July 18th, 2012 at 2:11 PM
So what was the interaction?
It wasn’t anything special, just him and a booster having direct contact.
July 18th, 2012 at 2:12 PM
I’d take him in the 3rd round. If Cliff Harris (eagles) or Janoris Jenkens (rams) plays well this season with NFL group think he could still be drafted high. His infractions are minor compared to the other two.
July 18th, 2012 at 2:13 PM
No fucking way at that pic of Susan Miller Degnan. Looks like Garth or some SNL character. Awesome! Big fan now, big fan.
July 18th, 2012 at 2:13 PM
O/T
Sorry to do this, but this should make some of the people that don’t feel that the Freeh Report is gospel take additional note
“Yet there is no mention in the Freeh report of the trustees’ failed good-governance proposal or the Spanier and Baldwin emails. A spokesman for the Freeh Group declined to comment.”

Seantrel can only be special if he doesn’t get kicked off the team. If he just listens to Coach Kehoe he’ll be great. I worry about him and his stupid dad, though.
July 18th, 2012 at 2:14 PM
His destiny would have been different if his parents slapped a Le in front of that great name.
LeRay-Ray?
As a Miami athlete, does he not get a defense from LeBatard?
July 18th, 2012 at 2:16 PM
I don’t think Janoris or Cliff Harris is going to be much of indicator for a SS with poor coverage skills

Ray, Ray. A story of a young man’s journey from Miami to Minsk.
July 18th, 2012 at 2:19 PM
fucking temporary crown has a crack in the top of it and what looks like a small “pothole” starting to form. Fucking going to let that shit ride until next Monday, assuming it doesn’t come off before the permanent gets put on.
July 18th, 2012 at 2:20 PM
“Well you made a long journey from Miami to Minsk, Ray Ray. You never stopped hoping. now you’re in The U, Ray Ray. When the nay sayers nay you picked up your pace. You said nothing’s going to stop me so get out of my face. I’m having adventures all over the place, Ray Ray!”
July 18th, 2012 at 2:21 PM
Maybe they’re just trying to clear out all the stupid ass names.
July 18th, 2012 at 2:24 PM
yeah, that’s gonna end up in your digestive tract. Had that happen on a temp crown once.
July 18th, 2012 at 2:27 PM
I called the dentist when I noticed this last week. Told them i wasn’t eating anything crunchy or bad for the temp, and the receptionist said “you mean you’re using that side to chew?” and I said “yeah, because you SAID I COULD”.
Fuck lady, don’t try to change the rules now! Good thing I only have 5 more days to go. I mean if TBL’s server can screw up that long, then so can my temporary crown.
July 18th, 2012 at 2:27 PM
Ray-Ray just skyrocketed to the top of the Cowboys draft board-board.
July 18th, 2012 at 2:28 PM
Great talent, but he blew through many chances to just get his head on straight and play ball. Probably will make an NFL roster at some point though.
July 18th, 2012 at 2:31 PM
Goodell already sharpening his banhammer
July 18th, 2012 at 2:33 PM
Sir Spicious, help me out here. How would the Good Governance vote have helped any in this Sandusky case? The vote would have been in 2004, but Spanier and co weren’t made aware of any assaults after the 2001 incident right? So it’s not like this would have prevented any other attacks, or brought attention to Sandusky’s evil actions any sooner right?
July 18th, 2012 at 2:35 PM
He can’t take action for him getting booted from the team can he? Ray Ray already served his suspensions so there really isn’t any more NCAA issues, the dude just wouldn’t buy into Golden’s program.
July 18th, 2012 at 2:38 PM
See how fast he runs at the combine he has great size.
July 18th, 2012 at 2:41 PM
Terrelle Pryor raises an eyebrow?
July 18th, 2012 at 2:43 PM
Pryor left school before his last year because he was facing a massive suspension for the tattoo business. Gooddell decided to carry that suspension over to the NFL. Ray Ray already served his, not facing one.
July 18th, 2012 at 2:45 PM
Pryor hadn’t served his NCAA suspension yet, but asking if Goodell can do something is still an exercise in futility since the rules change by the day (unless you drive drunk, then you’re off limits)
July 18th, 2012 at 2:48 PM
he was actually suspended 4 games for the tatoo business. He left because he was facing a significant investigation in to his finaces coupled with a likely season-long suspension ala Devier Posey (who Pryor accidentally ratted out to the NCAA).
OSU fans should be thanking him for getting out and keeping his mouth shut.
/picks nits.
July 18th, 2012 at 2:50 PM
See how fast he runs at the combine he has great size.
He’s a Hurricane, his combine numbers will be “better than expected.” It’s a tradition
July 18th, 2012 at 2:51 PM
Also, it now seems rather quaint to talk about tattoos and boosters as being verboten to the NCAA, but covering up for child rape, not so much.
