I see UM stuff all the time here in SC. We regularly run the roads to Charleston, Greenville, Augusta, Charlotte. See Cane stuff everywhere!

I live in Palm Beach county. Costco and Target have UF and FSU gear and. Nothing for Miami. I assume it has to do w being a private school, and marketing agreements.

I live in PBC as well and have definitely found UM stuff at Costco a number of times.

As far as presence here, I would argue Miami fans actually outnumber UF and FSU fans. You’ll see more UM license plates, flags, shirts etc in central and southern PBC than you will UF or FSU. There is a surprisingly pretty large amount of Miami fans in the Western communities of PBC, Wellington but also Loxahatchee/Acreage area.

More fsu and UF fans in the northern county area (Jupiter, Juno, PBG, North Palm)

I don't see very many Canes fans maybe pass one every now and then on the road. I do get comments from time to time about my Canes hat or shirt.
I'm in Portland Tennessee

Spent the last couple days visiting my nephew and his family in Suwannee County (about 30 miles west of the I-10/I-75 interchange in North Florida for those who might not know).

Might as well have been on the moon for the lack of UM sightings because there was absolutely nothing.

Not anyone around town (Live Oak) when we went out to eat, when we to stores, etc. Zilch.

Stopped by the big truck stop off the interstate and they had a large section set aside for all kinds of college apparel and merchandise.

There was a ton of FSU/UF crap of course and some FAMU stuff.

But surprisingly (to me) there was some UCF and USF clothing, but zero University of Miami things to buy.

I don't remember it ever being that barren for the Canes even when I was a kid in places like rural Escambia County. You could always find at least a UM cap or hoodie or whatever.

Have things changed in the sports marketing business or has UM dropped the ball in some way?

I'm asking because I have no idea — other than it's not how it used to be up here (North Florida)

There’s actually a lot of Cane fans in Lake city and more than ya think in Gainesville. Live oak is more Nole country with some gators. Same as Lake city which is more balanced but leaning Gator. Fun fact Kelly Jennings was from Live Oak. One of the more underrated Canes.
 
Lawrenceville, Georgia but from West Palm Beach. Currently stuck out in Guam doing a few installs, gametime is going to be like 0500 out here but I got my streams ready to go.

Good to hear Cribby

Been gone from NoFlo for a bit now, so it's a little like "are there any of us up here still?"

More disappointed I didn't see any Canes apparel in any of the stores. But maybe that's another matter

Every time I see someone in Houston wearing a Miami shirt I throw up the U. They all look confused. Then I look confused and walk away.
 
Haven't come across another Miami fan where I live in Memphis. Saw a Florida license plate at the store last week.
