One reason Robert Marve's confidantes are so upset about his suspension was the explanation that Miami coach Randy Shannon offered privately for not informing him earlier. To suggest Marve might not be as motivated to work hard if he knew about the suspension sooner was a serious misreading of his character and work ethic, a very close confidante said.

"You will learn to hate me. But you will learn to respect me. I will make you hard. A killing machine. Praying for war." R Lee Ermey, playing coach Shannon in the TV movie about the U.

Marve should just keep his trap shut and play by the rules. You got in trouble and suspended for the first game against a weak opponent. Big whoop. Take it like a man and respond positively. Stop whining. Your a college football player who has the chance to be THE MAN at a major football school as a freshman!

Some things never change.

What is this "confidante" garbage? If you can't get it straight from the mouth of Marve, it's not a story.

Confidante=soon to be posse

DO_WORK_SON ..I agree. What the heck kind of "confidantes" could a kid have? Are we talking about his Aunt Tillie, Bubba Kravitz from Algebra class? The title says the kid is upset, the article speaks only of his "confidants" Give the kid a break and send the writer back to journalism 101.

How Dare the coach act like he's in charge or something! Next thing you know he'll be calling plays the freshman QB doesn't approve of either in some mad power grab. It's funny how the fact he's being suspended for multiple criminal offenses doesn't seem to phase this guy, but how the coach tells him the results of his actions has him and his preteen posse up in arms. I guess he'll demand a trade now

Next thing you know they'll be interviewing him in the locker room after the game and he will tell them he is a soldier.

UGH, this anonymous "confidante" (with whom I'm 100% sure is advocating for Marve and has no other motive) is making him out to be an only child whining to his parents because his coach made him do laps. The whole thing is bogus and doesn't deserve our attention, at least in a positive way. This punk kid should learn to zip it.

Take your punishment, work that much harder and stay out of trouble, prove yourself before you open your mouth. Its a business at that level, and you're not a commodity.

I would be more upset with your barber!

Agree with SVT Jer here. This isn't a story. This is the Miami Herald trying to make a whole lot of something out of nothing.

Yo Hillbillydeluxe... Did you read the response directly from Marve that SVTJer posted? or can you read

August 27, 2008  01:11 PM ET

Jacory Harris May use this game as a starting point and we may never see Marve start at Miami. There have been too many times in the past where something like this has happened and the guy who loses his job is never heard from again.
