There’s definitely some of that. But also a lot of “why did we hire Rad?” “We’re sitting on our hands” “looks like it’s the Big12 for us” in here as well.
I get that, but the thread is 4 years old.
Rad -- "Radtirement Mode" still applies. Questioning what he does and his overall impact remains fair.
Sitting on our hands -- There was an ebb and flow throughout the lawsuit where people, even the biggest homers, questioned whether we should have gotten involved -- then of course when it worked out well, they returned acting like they knew it would all along. Up until about a month ago with football success, the adminstration deserved zero benefit of the doubt after 2 decades of incompetence --- be honest, if not for Mario adapting and the football run, another late season fold and there would be more questions than answers --- we will see how the Adidas / Nike deal plays out.
XII is a reasonable discussion - Do I think it is a Power 2? - No. Do I personally preferred it vs the B1G? No. BUT they appear well run vs the ACC. The ACC does us no favors. The XII appears rising vs. ACC dying. I think
@Memnon and
@RVACane raise fair points in the discussion. Miami fans will always have a victim mentality --- every other thread is that way -- so Tobacco Road vs. B1G Bullies vs. SEC Good Ole Boys -- we'll remain full of officiating tears for the foreseeable future... But the XII has no one entrenched, we'd all be outcasts or bad boys, but we would be the biggest brand by far.
It is likely Miami to the B1G - which is my preference for academics and athletics. I am not worried about dancing partners -- and if you listened to this thread, we've been a ****, we've had so many since the rumor mill started.
