Help Me Find A New Football Team To Support

'Canes fans are awful proud of their team, their legacy. Outsiders who claim our fans are 'fair weather', say that out of ignorance.

If you were at ND/Miami 2017, you would know. We may not neccessarily have the numbers of Clemson, Alabama, UF, but we make up for numbers as fans by pure rabidness.

I'm convinced, after living through the probation of the 90's, the mediocrity post '03, the fans that are still around aren't going anywhere. We have one of the most intense fanbases of college football when the chips are on the line.

In the 80's, it was customary to rip an opposing fans shirt off if they dared sit in the West End Zone.

For me, Miami football is special. I wouldn't give a tinkers **** about football if not for the Hurricanes.

One day, we'll be back on top of college football. I don't think we'll ever reach the plateau of 2001 (I don't think ANYONE will), but I think we'll be national championship contenders again.

You are with us; or you get beat by us.

Can you dig it?

Fandom is for life, OP. You think I WANT to suffer all these years under coRch after coRch? God no. But the misery is all part of it. Bandwagoners are welcome in UCF and if you're looking for an NFL team I heard the Patriots look sharp lately.

Hey Guys,

I was a BYU fan, but am looking for a new team.

I have decided to have some fun with it. I’ve put together a list of teams I like, and I’m going to choose the team using the ubiquitous bracket poll.. Help me decide!

One of the teams I am considering is Miami. Please go to my poll and vote. You can find it at www.FootballOrphan.com.

Help this orphan find a home!

Thanks,
The Football Orphan

I hate you with the white-hot fire of a thousand suns.
 
I had 2 family members play football for BYU. I live in BYU country. F*ck BYU. What could possibly make a BYU fan want to be a Hurricanes fan?

Should I move on to Florida State?

I was thinking Florida State. No doubt they losin' fans left and right. Let everybody in to their last game for $10 a ticket. They need help, bad.

Besides, you don't seem like Miami material. No offense...just don't give off that Miami vibe.

Do you like being disapointed? Well, you came to the right place! Here we threaten to fire every head coach at the first sign he will not win us a 6th National Title. We act like that is a badge of honor, when in reality it dissuades most coaches from taking the job. We also pay less for facilities, salaries and have no on campus stadium. Our student base is small and our loyal fans who show up to every game are smaller. We compete for recruits against schools with rabid fans who pay recruits under the table and do NOT give the receipts to Yahoo! sports.

The age of the beta male is finally upon us. These bad posture having, video game playing, weak wristed, offended when you call them a pronoun sisses have officially ruined what it is to be a man. I didn’t get my balls blown off by a Saudi jihadist so you can ***** foot through life needing validation from a bunch of strangers to pick a football team. Go cheer for your powder puff girls high school team where all your boyfriends play or another team that’s full of pansies, the Florida Gators!!!!

You really had your balls blown off by a jihadist?

Have you looked into Clemp$on? They always seem to be on the lookout for men who appreciate male talent.

Sorry, bro, but I'm about as level headed as it gets around here, and my initial reaction to seeing your post was to tell you to go **** your own face with a 737-Max. We are not looking for "fans in search of a new team". We aren't looking to be understood, and most of us came by our Miami fandom in much the same way as jihadi's come by their extremism. It's a tribal pride irreversibly intertwined with a perceived (real in our case) marginalization and derision from the outside world. There is a reason that probably the most enduring catch phrase of ours of the past 30-40 years is "It's a Canes Thing, You Wouldn't Understand."

If you want to join, it requires the ultimate commitment and sacrifice of renouncing all worldly possessions and ties that don't fit in with the Canes lifestyle, and there sure as **** isn't any going back. We do not accept applicants via message board.

You seem much more like a Tigger$ fan to me. But should you decide to join, gear up and show up at HRS on 10/5 and 10/11 with a willingness and instant readiness to throw rocks and/or glass bottles at the opposing team's bus, and to throw water or beer bottles on the field when the ref's make a ridiculously bad call, be ready to rock a place so loud that opposing team fans and players cover their ears when we make a big play. Then be ready to go in to Doak, or ND, or wherever we play all decked out in Canes gear and be treated before a single whistle has been blown as if you are the absolute scum of the earth and snap the necks of baby kittens for pure fun. That is what it is like being a Cane fan. Oh, and you never get a holding or false start call go your way, but the refs are happy to make up penalties against your team and steal national championship trophies from your trophy case after they've been engraved, and the world doesn't give a fvck.

Yeah, you'd probably be better off in Clem$on, where they grab junk, pay their players, and take steroids openly, and the world just thinks they're the cats pajamas.

Good luck, and fvck you for asking.

Sorry bro, we're not gonna beg you to join us... In fact, most of us are probably gonna tell you to go fūck yourself.

Other fanbases will fall all over themselves telling you why you should join them.... We'll tell you that it's a Canes thing and you wouldn't understand.

Btw, really soft to abandon your team like that. Go fūck yourself.

Nothing better than walking around places far from south Florida with canes gear on and running into other canes fans.

I don't think many other fan bases are as outgoing in public as ours is.

The Miami Hurricanes are the U.S. Marines of college football. Small, elite, brotherhood like no other. Cant really describe being a Marine to non-Marines. Its a U Thing, you wouldnt understand. Gotta have the ink on your arm and the sticker on the car. Easy to pick out a Cane in a crowd. Usually the one throwing punches (and 9 times out of 10 it turns out to be IAJJB)
