LOL...Bubba Bolden liking that post

Times are changing. Did you see what happened up in Tallahassee?

They’re getting emails already. Somebody like me would only rate a call back from somebody like an associate or an assistant A.D., usually somebody from the ticket office. Flake isn’t going to be calling me. I’m not a $1 million contributor. Why should I start sinking big money if I don’t...

I think it would have an impact to be honest. Obviously I’m looking at it from an alumni, and season ticket holder (non-student) and donor perspective. So you may already know that we are being listened to. Obviously whether they do something or not is a different matter altogether, and clearly...

Have you renewed yet? Call your guy, let him know how unhappy you are, it gets back to people, believe me.

Why does everybody torture themselves with worst case scenarios? The boosters at Miami (myself included, aren’t dumb). They know what’s going on. It’s as simple as this. Manny has to impress in 2021. Not squeak by. Impress, ie, show that he can field a stout defense, beat the the teams he’s...

He’s going up against at least 3 very good offenses next year. It’s all on him now. Zero excuses.

Well, it was just an off the cuff remark. It’s not that deep really. I wouldn’t take it too seriously. I’m just jokingly riffing on the fact he doesn’t fit that old cigar-chomping, guayabera-wearing, domino-playing stereotype. The fact is, unless people mentioned he was Cuban, who would even...

Manny is nothing like Bo Pellini, and having lived in South Florida most of my life, most people would barely consider him a Cuban.

Why do you think anything you posted contradicts anything I said? Nothing you posted above directly or indirectly contradicts what I am positing. I know how it works. And the people that have influence and actually guide the decisions, and are listened to regarding football, is a very small...

That’s not really how it works. The BOT members that give a shlt are the ones that make the decisions. The other ones stick to what they know. I don’t think you’ve ever looked at the list of the number of BOT members, it’s extensive, and decisions are deferred to people who have expertise in...

Eight wins will not be deemed a success.

Muddling through is the same as falling flat on his face - to people that hold the purse strings and have a voice. I don’t think that’s what people understand. Patience is very short.

This is exactly what I’m saying. At least people like us get callbacks, and they have to listen to our shlt. It is probably only a tiny handful of huge contributors that are going to have input, if any, to the hiring decision. But like I said whether you contribute $5k, or $500,000 a year, you...

I don’t know what you mean by me being in that room, but if you are implying the room where the decisions are made, that’s not the room I was talking about. I’m talking about people that are significant contributors. In the neighborhood of $5k or more a year. I know that doesn’t sound like a...

...and they will be. Not just season ticket sales which, by the way, does affect revenue, but that was not the only thing I was talking about, therefore revenues will be affected. Talking about the whole deal, it all goes together. Contributions, ticket sales, alumni discontent leading to more...

No that’s reality. You must not know any people that contribute or have season tickets.

Because the people that put money into the program are sick of the bullshlt. When season ticket sales significantly suffer, or don’t increase as much as they should between 2021 and 2022, they’ll have to make a move. Season ticket sales are significantly down for 2021, and believe me it’s not...

I guess you’re not a season ticket holder or a significant booster (thousands per year into the program) or know very many people that are. You’re not reading the room, and by room I mean the people that count and put money into the program

I one-hundred percent hope I’m wrong. I don’t have any agenda against Manny, I hope he succeeds and makes Miami a consistent winner and a playoff contender. Based on his track record, I don’t think he’s the guy for that, but it doesn’t mean that I won’t root for that. I’ll always support my...
