Three of the most prominent  members of the Ravens are former Miami Hurricanes, but Ray Lewis, Ed Reed and Willis McGahee haven't razzed rookie linebacker Antwan Barnes about his former school.

Barnes played at Florida International University in Miami last season, when the team brawled with the Hurricanes. Barnes wasn't among the 31 players suspended for the incident, including 18 of his teammates.

Barnes, who  grew  up in  Miami  and played high school ball with and against many future  Hurricanes, said he went to work out with some of them during the offseason as he got ready for his pro workouts. Barnes was one of two fourth-round picks for the Ravens.

"Everything was cool with them,'' Barnes said today. "It was over.''

Aside from this year's rematch with Miami on Sept. 15, Barnes is looking forward to another game on FIU's schedule. FIU is scheduled to play Maryland the week before it plays Miami, and will get the Terrapins at home.

"We almost beat them last year,'' Barnes said of a 14-10 defeat to the Terps that ended with FIU being intercepted at the Maryland 3-yard line. "I think we have a good chance to get them at our place.''

As for the razzing from former Hurricanes now on the Ravens, it's just a matter of time. The rookie will have to perform for the veterans sometime next week. Barnes might want to learn the Miami fight song just in case.
