@ben I need a ruling on this.

Man...I'm elder millenial leaning GenX (1981). I'm good with having patience and trying to get things done the right way. I think a lot of people are, generational tropes aside.generation Z needs to come to the realization it takes time to build a program its been 1.5 years
Me tooThose of us who got to experience the Canes of the 80s are lucky, I feel bad for guys who have only been fans for 15-20 years, they have no idea what a joy it was to go to the OB on a Saturday and witness those *** kickin's. I have become apathetic for the most part, although I kind of let myself get sucked in after attending the A&M game, but GT and UNC have reminded me of what we truly are as a program, mediocre.
I'll still watch the Clemson game on Saturday, but I truly expect a lackluster loss in front of about 25k fans. I just won't let it bother me like it used to.
Ha Ha! Gotcha Beat...I was a student at UM starting in 1836. Then the civil war kept me from following the team. Your comment was NOT pointless. All of this silly banter, and crying in our beers, is beyond a shadow of doubt truly pointless. With all the crap going on in this world the collective angst on this site is laughable.Been a fan since 1834. Back then we were known as the fancy olde English style u.

might agree, why didn't we hire Phil Longo( Wisconsin) Garrett Riley( Clemson) ?? or year before that KDillinham (HC AZ)It’s not rocket science. You either out talent your opponent by so much coaching doesn’t matter, or you hire an elite offensive mind to make up for your lack of talent. Miami refuses to do either.
I feel you fam we going to get through it.I've been a fan for much longer than I've gotten to go to games. As some of you know, I'm from VA originally (now living in Eastern KY), and my first in-person game was @VT in 2005. I've traveled to games all over the country pretty much to watch the Canes, including the occasional home game. And I'm gonna use the cliche "I've never lost a tailgate", and I'm happy to claim many of the Canes I've met throughout the years as not just close friends but as a second true family that's gotten me thru some tough times over the past year or two (namely a divorce after about 20'ish years of marriage).
That being said...two things became crystal clear to me Saturday night as I sat in the stands in Chapel Hill and watched us roll over and die in the 2nd half.
1) I've said often that Mario has to be the answer, because if he can't bring us "back" (or "byke"), then I'm not sure anyone short of Schnelly could. *To me* - Mario ain't it. Call me a mope or whatever, I'd love to be proven wrong, but it's starting to look more and more that other than recruiting, there's not much else Mario's good at.
2) Pursuant to point #1 - if Mario isn't it, we aren't gonna ever be "back"/"byke". The U as we've known it in the past isn't coming back. We aren't gonna be a Top 10 program again with the likes of UGA/Bama/tOSU*/etc...and anytime we're ranked...it's moreso fool's gold, and we're closer to the GT's/UNC's of the world than we are the upper eschelon. And we just got beaten by both of those programs.
That all hurts my soul to type out, because I want to be a sunshine-pumper and optimistic. I want to see the good in the program and in the folks representing The U. After seeing waves of Miami fans file out of the stands after the TVD fumble, or after we gave up the TD on 3rd and 20 when we declined making it 2nd and 30, or (when I left) after Omarion Hampton broke our backs with his 60 yard run......my soul/heart for Canes Football is broken. I'm beaten and I'm just at my personal wit's end with it. Life has been kicking my *** enough over the past little bit...I don't need the Canes to pile onto the misery when I'm there in person.
I'll root us on from home as always, for now. I'll travel for the basketball team (hopefully to Rupp for the UK game on 11/28), but I can't justify any more football trips until they get this thing sorted.
