    Look, we have to dispense with the myths. There will be no "50K stadium in the middle of Coral Gables". It's just not going to happen. So let's address the real possibilities of this "and then dealing with traffic" point. People living north of Hard Rock take the Turnpike. All expressway...

    Thank you sir. Not trying to turn every thread into a foodie thread (@IndayArtHauz don't lock this!), but while I have been to New Orleans a lot in the past, I think that Katrina shuffled up the restaurant scene pretty hard, there are spots I used to know about that aren't there any longer. I...

    It's not about "the 80s vs. the 20s". Kids at EVERY college want to party, just like kids at EVERY college want to watch a winning football team. Just because you went to UM when the football team sucked doesn't mean that UM students, forever and ever, will never care about football again. UM...

    Again, where in the FVCK are "metal bleachers" coming from? We need to stop falling for the "anti-stadium" myths. "It's hard to get students out". That's reality everywhere. UM students are not unique. Not every UF or F$U or certainly even UCF student goes to the games. Same thing at...

    The comp stadium I've heard the most is McClane Stadium (Baylor) which is pretty nice. And, yes, UCF went cheap, and they got what they paid for. For the "Palm Beach fans" argument, I don't think I-95 helps much, but I do think that the NW 7th locations (east of Marlins or north of Magic City)...

    I hear what you are saying. I'm not sure where "****ty bleachers instead of stadium seats" and "crappy amenities" comes from, that is just one of those myths built by the anti-UM-stadium crowd. Traffic and parking are the legitimate issues. Both of which are not ideal at Hard Rock, but I...

    I'm not underestimating the amount of people that come from that area, I'm saying that if the make-or-break is "I'm not going to drive an extra 12 miles", then maybe those fans weren't built for this. And if you want to skip the crappy games, that's fine. All I can tell you is that based on...

    I went to Bacon Bros several times a few years ago, not sure if it has declined since then. I spoke with the guys who owned/ran the place back then, they were talking about possibly opening a charcuterie place closer to downtown. They seemed vey committed, so maybe you just caught them at a...

    Because an alum is not gonna whine over an extra 15 miles. An alum enjoys the chance to go to the campus for an hour or two, buy something from AllCanes, take a picture at the U.

    Please stop this bullcrap. First, the "two thousand students" are future alums, people who will be making donations and buying tickets for the next 50 years. Second, it is not "alienating" a bunch of whiny fans in Broward and Palm Beach to ask them to drive an extra 12-15 miles (the...

    I am NOT in South Carolina, but I worked up there for nearly a year (this was a few years ago). They put me up in a corporate condo, so I went out to restaurants with some frequency. My youngest brother lives up in Charlotte and his family has been driving around to some spots in the Carolinas...

    Wait, I found a new ESPN story about a recruit choosing an urban-area private school over Alabama: https://www.espn.com/college-sports/recruiting/football/story/_/id/32890675/five-star-cb-domani-jackson-no-6-recruit-2022-commits-usc

    Shut your filthy mouth. Running that story would eliminate the space they are currently devoting to less-talented players transferring to less prestigious schools. Don't you want to read about the former UCF quarterback transferring to UCLA or the former Nebraska quarterback transferring to...

    Love downtown Greenville (worked up there for nearly a year, this was a few years ago). Not sure if any of the locals have tried this spot, but if you go north on Pete Hollis Boulevard and cross the train tracks, there is an old train depot off to the left that has been converted into a brewery...
