Finebaum on ESPN: Miami is the most underrated team in the Top 25

[Empirical Cane]

He must be getting some very encouraging news out of Greentree to make a statement like that. He hates everything about us.

I can diiiiig iiiiit!

Mario putting in the work to befriend those people from day one. Mario has a real 1 on 1 coach-charm that he works on these media people.

**** Pawl Finebum anyway. Saban’s cuck bytch……

 

[252cane]

McElroy said the same. Said Miami got as much talent as anybody outside the top 4-5 teams

 

[JG13]

Maybe how about we win some games before we start sucking each other's ****s?

@JG14 and @HurricanePhilly disagree

 

[dorsey1]

I don’t care about preseason rankings especially now-

That’s probably been the most positive thing Finebaum has said about us in years-

Nobody cares-

Win games period.

 

[kyle_schick]

I dont give a single **** about anything him and Steven a Smith have to say about anything ever.

You have an interesting celebration tradition.

 

[MovingZen]

finbum talking nice about our Canes is like visiting Thailand. For a couple seconds you're like oh wow but then it's all disappointment because you just know there's a **** there.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Too late Paw. The bandwagon is full.

Heather Dinich agreed. I guess Dannyboycane really turned her around with his pillow talk...

 

[TheOriginalCane]

**** Bud Elliott. He just complimented Miami, which is highly unlikely to end up in the SEC on ESPN.

We’re not exactly going to be sneaking up on teams this year. National expectations actually match fan expectations for once.

True but feels like teams are always up for playing us. Whether it’s the hatred or motivation from the coaches or the players or both, teams just love kicking our ***

It’s because we’re a brand. It’s why TV still loves us and why conferences are still interested despite us being very average for 20 years.

I lived in Orlando when UCF beat a pre-Saban Alabama team. Didn’t matter that they were like a 4-7 team that year. All that mattered was UCF beat Alabama.

This is a forgotten intangible that goes against us. It does seem every team we play is highly motivated to beat us. High effort usually beats talent and we rarely sneak up on anyone on our schedule. We need to flip this to "fear" and "intimidation" where teams are afraid to play us.

No doubt. And that U evokes a lot of emotion no matter what

You can tell when we play certain teams and you hear their coaches talk and I’m like yeah that dude grew up in the 80s and 90s ******* HATING Miami

 

[CreativeCane]

Or—hear me out Bud—ESPN is so sick and tired of FSU complaining and the way their fans went after the network.

Or maybe they saw the team quit before the bowl game and replace a lot of starters with unknown commodities and DJU at QB.

Those old Miami teams changed the culture of college football and let’s face it, there’s a lot of folks out there that aren’t “for the culture”.
