The rest of us don't give a fvck about the U's academics.

We only care about the football team. If you want to tout academics go to canesnerds.com

That is all.

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.

Bunch of pu55ies I swear, no one gives a *** if people can color in between the lines. Nikka we here for football and we need someone who embraces thug u. When u have Fsu fans a U*** scared of who we hire and hoping it's an academic person that's all u need to know.

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?

LMAO... no worries buddy. That "College" degree didn't really help out but I've owned my own business for the past 12 years and do quite well.


Go Canes!

Why don't you ask the same UM professors that teach there, arrogant prick.

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:

Best post on here in a long time. And thanks for your service - to both our country and the U.

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 ****ING 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.

With all that money she has pumped into research name one thing she accomplished?

Just a hunch, physical education major?

 

[UMFarArcher]

Here's the ugly truth.

Outside the 305, the University of Miami is really not widely known across the nation. Yes, it's a good school, but no, not anything like other schools. When folks decide to study a particular discipline across the other 49 states, and half the state of Florida, Miami is, well, just not at the top of everyone's list.

Now. There is one quarterly event that in the past had everyone in the nation thinking of Miami - and that USED to be during football season. It was the greatest marketing tool ever. No amount of money could buy the name recognition, nor the national awareness of the University of Miami like the football team provided.

The "U" quickly became a universally recognized logo. The "U" used to conjure up visions of athletic excellence, blended with showmanship, quickness, and toughness - all qualities that all Americans admire even in their favorite cinema experiences.

We're not ever going to become an Ivy League school. Never. When I think of Brown, I think of UPS, as does the rest of the nation. It is what it is.

Get over yourselves on the academics. The academics will take care of themselves, but the mechanism that promotes the U, and gives the greatest marketing awareness for the dollar - is the football program.

No really good coach ever costs a university a single dollar. A really good coach pays for his own salary, and then some. When you're an annual winner, you generate more revenue, more product awareness, more academic interest, and more bottom line dollars. Even stuffy-assed boosters get excited when you're a National Contender every year.

But it's hard to get excited by a siht, weak-assed program, that is a has-been.

Fund Butch, fund two coordinators at a million apiece to guarantee top national coordinators, and then get out of the way. That's all the BOT has to do for their beloved University of Miami.

another hunch you didnt make into a real ivy league school so now your clinging on to the next best thing? Trying to make your degree worth more than it really is? My next guess you was a virgin who had hard time getting until you got into your twenties? Keep up the good work geek

This is so stupid that I didn't bother reading anything else. 54% of UM's student body is from outside of Florida.

If it were true. It's really just something made up by someone who knows absolutely nothing about the University.

Pretty sure we got you figured out? Didnt get into IVY league ? Nobody else takes Miami as academic school accept people who're trying to make them feel accomplished :qR12ZEhp37hu.jpg:

The only thing someone with a "degree" from MDCC is coffee for someone with a degree from the U.

 

[Bennubird]

You can have success both academically and athletically. We'll never be an SEC school in terms of our priorities, but we don't have to be. As UMArcher said, let the football program take care of itself and give up the money to bring in a real staff.

A bunch of dumb mudda f*ckers responding to my sarcastic post. News for you asshle, the U ain't in the top half academically in the conference. Now go get yoyr coffee you f*cking prick

 

[capefearcane]

This is a stupid-a$$ thread. Glad you're a fan but get over it, you want an academically challenged school to root for try FSU or just give it up and root for the Dolphins. The U has done more for Miami/Dade then any other institution. Proud of my school and proud of our Hurricanes. We'll be back.
