As a proud Miami grad (MDCC) I don't give a f*ck about the U's academics

How was 13th grade? Did you get nap time?

 

[cowboycane]

OP can **** off. Sounds like a ***** made Arkansas fan.

 

[NoVaCaneFan]

I could give a **** how much $$$ she raised, our football team plays like garbage in a terrible stadium, Oh Happy Days...

 

[ADELPHI]

OP is a dumbazz as are all of his plumbing colleagues in this thread that feel the U owes them something. The U doesn't owe you unaccomplished ******s ****!

Hey! Owning a plumbing company is worthwhile endeavor. You classist jerk!

The U owes me the last 12 years of my life back.

 

[SpikeUM]

Wow, talk about diverging opinions. There is no reason why we cant be a great university AND have a great sports program. And whomever is the next President is not going to dismantle what Donna did, they will try to build on it.

I can see you stroking your chin strap psuedobeard in satisfaction as you hit the post button, but not before you made sure your sideways hat was perfectly askew.

[bomb]

LOL. More of "lets throw some **** on the wall and see if it sticks?

Bomb, she got strong-armed by a bunch of banana-republicans and lost the most important facility the U has ever known, the OB.

She didn't "lose" it. It reached a point of disrepair (the city owned and maintained it) and would have been $100M+ to do it over. At the time, and this time, and probably all time, no one was going to step up to provide those funds. It took 80 years to get a single $5M gift (thank you Shalala and the Schwartz family) for football. It wasn't ours. We didn't own it. We paid rent. Tough concept for you, I guess.

All you want to do it *****. Ok, what was the solution? Where was that money coming from? The City? LOL. The fan base? ROTFLOL. You're in outer space, man.

The B.U.C. is scarred with empty cement corners because she cowered to the City of Coral Gables setting a terrible precedent.

LOL. It got BUILT! After 80+ years! SHE DID IT!! In Coral Gables, on campus (a miracle). And its great. When we as a fan base show we actually give a **** about filling it every game, then you can worry about maximizing its capacity. Until then, see my note about people rather ***** behind a screen name than write a check with their real name. "Scarred," LOL. Drama much? We have an amazing on-campus facility, that she even sold naming rights to, but you're such a mope you're still *****ing? Ask Coach L or the players what they think. They will laugh at you.

She instituted higher admissions standards that crippled recruiting and bolstered negative recruiting.

These make believe bull**** assumptions always expose who has an agenda and who doesn't. Short of actually cheating to get kids in who they know aren't NCAA qualified, we've pushed a lot of "yikes" kids through. Kids with some troubled backgrounds too. AQM couldn't get in to a bunch of schools, we got him. ****, she's even pushed through kids that the SEC Conference said no to academically. THE ******* SEC!! You're wrong, and obviously don't care about being truthful.

She bungled the Shapiro issue by picking a fight with the NCAA who knew they had nothing and delayed proceedings for two years out of spite.

Bungled? LOL. Do you actually believe your own bull****? We were dead to rights, and compared to our transgressions, we SKATED. You're one of those guys who are never wrong, I know. Last year it was "WE SKATED" and now that its convenient, "THE LIBERAL BUNGLED IT!" She guided us to a miracle conclusion. You can't be serious.

You are a blind man.

And you're a person with a hateful agenda that's a detriment to my school, our fan base, and everything the U stands for. You have no problem flip-flopping, misleading the board and yourself, and just ****ting on everything and everyone. You're part of the problem, not the solution.

I personally never read the lease with the City, though I know the City was responsible for maintaining the Ole Girl, and they did not...

Something went on that none of us will ever know I guess. The City was clearly in breach of the lease agreement, but UM sought neither an injunction or damages. The City had other shady designs, but I still have no idea how Shalala, the BOT, and UM's attorneys sat down and decided there was no worthwhile avenue of litigation.

UM

 

[CanesAreAble]

Alumnus here, and I think the Shalala hate has always been overblown.

Higher academic standards haven't been why we've struggled. Maybe we can't get a guy or two in (particularly JUCOs), but we're still able to pull plenty of talent. Hiring good coaches isn't easy. If it were, powerhouse programs would never have downturns. Schools with ADs that people on this board envy--USC, Florida, and Louisville--have bungled hires; Mike Garrett hired Lane Kiffin, Jeremy Foley hired Will Muschamp (who stinks), and Tom Jurich hired Steve Kragthorpe. How long did it take Bama to get it right? Dubose. Franchione. Price. Shula. Then they finally backed up the brinks truck for Saban, who, luckily for Bama, was dying to get back to the $EC after failing with the Dolphins.

After we fire Golden (and we will), we just need to find the right guy. The rest will take care of itself.

You are right. I don't owe them anything either. Next yr I will keep my $6,000 in my pocket, if the crap continues on the field.

My thoughts exactly nobody gives a **** about Ivy League U and if these pole smokers had their way we would close down sport in Miami to put all resources into the big academic project.

 

[CaneFan79]

As a non-alum, with a Son and Daughter in law who are alums, I think, anecdotally, that most of the recent grads are sad Shalala is leaving. I was purely a fan when she assumed the presidency and her political background scared me. As a parent and now a UM volunteer, I have seen a leader who has driven university advancement to new heights. Trust me, even with an academic scholarship, it was not cheap for my son to attend and would have not been worth the money if UM was still reflective of the despised "Suntan U" label. As a veteran, I appreciate, as did President Bush (43) her work with Bob Dole in shedding light and demanding action concerning the horrible conditions at Walter Reed (that hole is now closed and the Walter Reed name is on Bethesda now).

I have a different political persuasion than President Shalala, but a long military career has helped me spot excellent leaders pretty quickly...Donna Shalala is an excellent leader. Is Al Golden the right man for the UMiami HC job? No, but that is much more Golden's fault then Shalala's.

Finally, I'm reminded that, unlike other college football fanbases, UMiami is not a pompous-acting "Nation," but a family. Family's bicker and quarrel and fight, but in the end Rodney King said it best:
