No I'm not confusing you I'm simply reading your comment and it sounds like the typical that's gone on around here lately where everyone has something negative to say with some conspiracy theory to how Mario is handling what he's doing. I'm glad to hear you're supporter If so simply understand he's doing what's necessary to get things right.

Agree with pretty much all of that but fans are important and have to always be a concern like it or not. Without fans these guys would be playing intramural football in some park. A head coach cannot take the attitude of F the fans I could care less about them. Unless he wants an empty stadium with a slashed budget.

That said it does make sense to limit availability to our "not all friends of UM" media. Just need to find a balance that keeps people engaged and interested. Modern day football is a brand of entertainment after all.

It's one extreme or another. It's not a matter of **** the fans... Cause actual fans of the program won't all be emotional in the thought process that our head football coaches concern is to appease them outside of with results on the football field... If they're fans than just let the man work. His jobs hard enough without our own supposed fans constantly fanning the flames. Let those same people buy tickets and help sell out all our games than they can ***** & moan till their hearts content. Cause 8 out of 10 our stadium ain't nowhere near full anyhow.

Don't pay him no mind, he's in a sour mood today and bringing the negativity with him.
 
I can't believe Mario is letting local press to see a bit of our warm-up drills!

Heresy! Foolishness! Carelessness!

Giving glimpses of our warm-up drills - hail - might as well pass out our playbooks!

I'm a bit contrary - so if it were me - during those warm-ups - I'd have every receiver drop a ball or two on purpose - have our QB rare back to throw - only to have the ball slip out of his hands . . . and drop onto the ground behind him.

Two or three jump the hike offsides, and a few star players pull up with what looks like a hamstring pull, or grab their knee. Limp off the field like it's going to be deserving of an Academy Award.

That could be fun!

Escort everyone out - and THEN get after it. And laugh and laugh with the subsequent reporting that comes out!

The press wants to complain - shock them! Then let them explain how they reported guys injured - but miraculously seem fine the next day.

Let' 'em chew on that!

Ball touch their hands they are supposed to catch it though....crap is insane because im not a Cowboy fan, but im compelled to root for Dak and his receivers do nothing but ***** him over every week. Where's the pride?

Good discussion about the media in here

I can’t even imagine what would happen to these people if they tried what they do at an Alabama or an LSU. They would receive death threats.

I totally agree that ideally they all work together but I also support Mario telling them all to go **** themselves. Just from the outside looking in Mario gave them a chance and they’ve repeatedly ****ed up.

It’s like ok so you wanna use me and my team for clicks? But you don’t want to work together? Go **** yourselves

In my perspective, a lot of it has to do with the market. The U is still a relatively small, private school, with a relatively small alumni base. The great majority of our fanbase are non-alumni who heat up or cool down based on our performance. If you look at the number of UiF, FSPoo, Fi(eww) graduates in our market area, it's a significant amount. You will find a lot more lizard fans in Miami than you will find Auburn fans in Tuscaloosa, and the Herald is aware of that fact. You think the Ann Arbor paper has a Buckeye section? Yet the Herald has sections for most of the Florida schools, and sportswriters from those schools.
If I had any F's left, they could have 'em.

**** DMoney really jinxed the WRs too huh?

Let’s start calling The Bank “Memos from Silicon Valley Bank” and I guarantee a top 100 commit in 48 hours.

Thats why I said there has to be a balance. This is the problem with everything from a message board to our entire political climate. Everything has to be extreme. All or nothing. 100% my way or nothing at all. Mopes and Slurpers. Rational/objective critical thinking is gone.

But I digress, back to fall camp. How do you feel about this squad? Finally getting close what its supposed to look like??
 
I need an update on the Punter battle. Who's getting those first team reps

As someone not from SFL who knows about 50+ or so college graduates born and raised in Miami. 3… went to Miami. About 20-25 of them went to UF.
