    They handing out participation trophies in Trailerhassee

    The bigger question; what do players do with these rings as that tells you what kind of roster Mike Norvell has. Unless he has a bunch of dogs who gave the rings away to their mom—or girls they're banging, like Lamar Thomas talked about doing in the '90s when i wasn't a ring for a natty—their...

    They handing out participation trophies in Trailerhassee

    Yup, because Florida State actually won three titles and has been a powerhouse over the years. Central Florida was and is always a pretender and second-rate football program, so they ran with their narrative—and to their credit, while nowhere near "national champs" they were at least undefeated...

    Mario “Alpha QB”

    Miami was 2-4 going into that 2021 game with #18 North Carolina State (5-1)—at home, at night—and Van Dyke was 0-2 as a starter, throwing a late road pick to lose at North Carolina a week prior. All dude proved was that he could talk trash and show up in a low pressure game for the Canes where...

    4/17/24 Game 37: Bethune Cookman 16-20 L

    Never in my lifetime did I think this program would bottom out like this. 50 years old. Went to Fraser's camps in the '80s. Omaha was a gimme; Ron always knocking on the door his final few years after two titles in his day and Jim kicking this thing to another gear in the '90s; two rings of...

    4/17/24 Game 37: Bethune Cookman 16-20 L

    The Arteaga hire was worse than (1) extending Morris after getting rolled in a home regional by Stony Brook and Missouri State, 22-4 back in 2012 as well as (2) handing washed-up DiMare the keys in 2019. To promote from within a second time in a row from a regime that was so toxic, tired and...

    jacurri brown in the portal

    Brown showed up at Miami in 2022. Lashlee left for SMU after the 2021 season. What's with our fans' obsession and fear of a two-year Canes o-coordinator who never ran the ball—going 15-8 over that stretch, bailed out often by a scrambling D'Eriq King—as if he's the quarterback guru, or is...

    Why it’s so hard to recruit/beat Ohio State

    … and one that’s been a dominant force for 25 years with only that one Luke Fickell aberration year between Tressel and Meyer. Day is a mid-level manager that can get it done in the day to day but isn’t a crunch time, make your Q4 number, close strong pressure player—your typical 10-2 or 11-1...

    DE Romello Height visiting this weekend

    Who cares what our butthurt fan base thinks? If coaches feel the kid is a fit and all of that **** is in the rearview, that should be good enough for everybody. Grown *** men not wanting a kid on the team because of how he handled his high school recruiting years ago ... relax, ladies. :ROFLMAO:

    The Worst Stretch of UM Sports in My Adult Life

    Fall 2011 into Spring 2012 has to be the worst. Just suffered through four years of Randy Shannon to land Al Golden and weeks before that tie-wearing bozo coaches his first game, Shapirogate hits in August. Canes suffer through 6-6 with that busted 3-4 defense and "the cloud" hovering all...

    The Worst Stretch of UM Sports in My Adult Life

    Miami was a 10-win team last year if Tyler Van Dyke didn't up and forget how to read a zone defense. That kid single-handedly lost this team 3-4 games last year.

    The Worst Stretch of UM Sports in My Adult Life

    Things were marginally better under Mark Richt. At least he gave Miami a thrilling 2017 season and a bowl win the year prior. I was just too little too late with an over the hill head coach who was leaning towards retirement until his alma mater called... and his hiring of Manny Diaz obviously...

    The Worst Stretch of UM Sports in My Adult Life

    Real talk; Miami goes 10-3 last year of Tyler Van Bust doesn't forget how to read a zone defense. Georgia Tech, North Carolina and North Carolina State were all winnable football games with better quarterback play. Bozo threw eight of his 12 interceptions of the year in those three games.

    USF prediction

    Meh. See those bozos in fall. Either way, the amount of convo around South Florida and Alabama last year is hilarious. Tide was in a dogfight without Milroe, who got benched after the Texas game. They were worse without him, brought him back and went on to beat #15 Ole Miss, #17 Tennessee and...

    We win it all 2024 if...

    wE hAvE tHe tALeNt!! Not even close with the two deep and missing some key experience in the secondary, but even IF Miami had "the talent"—it lacks the experience. One ten-win season since 2004. Won the Coastal once. Never won the ACC. Never sniffed the Playoffs. Haven't been anywhere near...

    All Facts IMO (SIAP)

    The "more talented" argument only works when you have talent at the right positions. Jordan Travis saved Florida State the past two years. Michael Penix was the reason Washington made the playoffs. J.J. McCarthy was the heart and should of Michigan. Alabama struggled early with Jalen...

    All Facts IMO (SIAP)

    Why? This was legit a 10-3 team in 2023 if Tyler Van Yips didn't play like pure trash. Fans whining about "cOaCHiNG!!" as if that cat didn't throw 11 touchdowns and one interception the first four games of the year, only to forget how to read a zone defense, where he had 11 interceptions, two...

    All Facts IMO (SIAP)

    Yup. Should take a step forward in 2024 and be a real contender by 2025. Cannot stand how the past two decades all get lumped together; as if Miami wasn't a broke program under Donna Shalala for 16 seasons, with her low-rent hires and hatred for the football program. UM literally just started...

    PODCAST: 2025 RB Alvin Henderson talks Miami

    We really think so? I mean I hope so, but an Alabama kid that has been a heavy Auburn lean from all reports. Would love to keep poaching kids from Saban's old backyard.

    Jason Taylor coaching aspirations, what are they?

    That and he played a decade in Miami, retired in South Florida, continued to live in the area, built a life here with his family, coached at St. Thomas for five years and then took the UM gig. Getting to coach a powerful P5 program with a rich history in your own backyard—versus having to run...

    Gripe about the schedule

    The majority of programs play their conference schedule in full. Urban Meyer tweaked things while at Florida, where he'd put a cream-puff team in late November before rivalry week and Florida State—so he could suspend any kids in trouble, or could rest injured guys going into late season and a...
