07:59 AM ET 07.29 | Al Golden would prefer not to hear the term "swagger" at Miami. "I'm so tired of talking about 'swagger,'" Golden [said]. "Swagger, as it was said to me by Alonzo Highsmith and so many of the other former players, was the by-product. It wasn't the product, it was the by-product. ... For us, the swagger was developed from demonstrated performance, having a chip on your shoulder, and from work ethic. From being the hardest working team and being a tough team, playing with passion. All of the sudden you have people saying Miami plays with swagger. It only takes a couple years where you have kids that think you put on the uniform and automatically get swagger because you wear 'the U.'"

Golden is right, you have to win to have swagger. Without the wins, then you are just a jack arse

It's the new "Golden Rule" I guess - no swagging unless you've earned it ... like he works at Soloman, Smith and Barney or something: "At Miami we make swagger the old fashioned way, we earn it".

Not to be confused with "swagga" which is a natural state of grace perfected by Deion Sanders and being carried on by sundry players even to this day!

Deion went to FSU, the Noles do have their "swagga" back.

BAMA do have the college player w/ the most swag.. DRE

LOL, I was thinking of him when I wrote it. He was nicknamed "swagga". Supposedly, he's been a lot more mature this year and that he's got his mind right, as The Captain would say.

I figured you were.. had to get it out in the open... Does he really have swagga written on his car like the Aubies posted... I thought it was photoshopped but cud be wrong..He is very physically talented.. He def need to put in the mental work... Him and Menzie shud be like having Revis and NNamdi on the same teAM..

I've never actually seen the car., but that could be true. What's even more interesting is who is going around and taking pictures of his car? Hmmmm?
