Miami’s fanbase and Florida’s fanbase are incredibly different, and as an alumna of both universities, I know both very well.

Miami, for example, is 9-2, and has a chance to make the CFB. Miami has a top 10 recruiting class and is known to have a strong NIL budget. Miami went 10-2 last year and has been on an upward trajectory. Yet a good portion of the fanbase wants the HC fired, and many people stopped showing up to games as soon as Miami wasn’t a lock to make the CFP. Miami fans are the first to knock down their own players, their coaches, and everything else about the program.

Florida, on the other hand, is 3-8. They are experiencing their fourth losing season over the past five years. They just fired their HC, who is named in a UF lawsuit with a previous recruit over an NIL payment that never came to fruition. Yet this HC still had a great deal of support even last season, and going into this season, because he backed his way into an 8-4 season. They saw DJ Lagway, and his stats, and all of his injuries, and how he missed the entire spring and summer, and STILL thought he was a lock for the Heisman this year, and that they had a good shot of getting to the NC this year. Even after SpongeBath Billy got fired, we see that the fanbase believes the UF job is the #1 job in the country and has zero cons.

Miami fans err on pessimism, while Florida fans err on optimism. They are on the opposite sides of the spectrum. I used this year as an example, but I’ve seen this phenomenon during each one’s championship years, mediocre years, and poor years.

If pessimism has proven prophetic, over a very long 20 years, Is it still pessimism?
