I would love to debate Northern.
Post #1 - Yes, the University of Florida and Florida State University were both FOUNDED before the University of Miami. Nobody disputes this. However, I would point out that the University of Miami has been DESEGREGATED longer than both Florida and Florida State, and has been admitting both men and women for longer than Florida and Florida State. So, I don't know, maybe there's something positive to be said about the University of Miami there.
As for the comment about having "less athletic success, less money, and less resources" than Florida and Florida State "both", that is simply not true. It might be arguable about the University of Florida, which has admitted white males for far longer than UM or F$U has, but it is simply not true for Miami when compared to F$U. It's just...not...true...
And to finish out Post #1, how did I just KNOW that he was going to go racist on us, with the "five rangz" Ebonics nonsense...
As for eellss, does anyone know what in the FVCK he is talking about?
---"Ruiz was going to build them a stadium on the back of a high school activity field"? WHAT? No, Ruiz was talking about moving Coral Gables High to a new location, and then using the entirety of the Coral Gables High footprint for a new stadium.
---"Then they were suppose to negotiate the sharing of a new soccer stadium that is being proposed"? So eellss thinks that everything that comes out of Crazy Joe Carrollo's mouth is the truth and should be taken as Gospel? WTF?
---"Forget the stadium"? No, let's not.
---"Now they are proposing to build a $100M football facility that will be the best in the country; nobody knows where it's gonna be built cause there's no land on campus for it"? Really? REALLY? First, it is a $100M all-sports facility. Second, it is a replacement of the 50-year old "old Hecht" building. Third, we know exactly where it is gonna be built. We are tearing down one 2-story building to build a replacement 5 or 6 story building, and we will likely relocate the track for a footprint expansion of the IPF. It's not incredibly complicated. I mean, I guess if "nobody" knows where it's gonna be built, and by "nobody" we mean "nobody on Swampa$$ 247", then I guess he's technically correct.
Please, Mods and Maudes, PLEASE invite some of these 247 Gaytors to join us on this board for some FACTUAL and logical debate...
