Let The U Be The U

[TouchMoney26]

Mario keeps talking about not going back to the old days. But those “old days” are literally what built Miami. That edge, that swagger, that attitude, that we are better than you energy. That is what made teams fear us. That is what turned The U into a national problem.


There was another article where he said we don’t need to celebrate, we don’t need to talk, we don’t need to be that same Miami anymore. And I completely disagree. Our best teams and our best players always had that fire. They talked, they celebrated, they got in your face, and then they backed it up by dominating. That is who we are.


So when Mario sits there and says SMU has as much talent as we do, that is crazy to me. We are Miami. We don’t show respect to the other team. We make the other team fear us. We walk in like we run the field. That has always been our DNA. They’re supposed to fear the colors, fear the logo, fear lining up across from a Miami Hurricane.


So yes. We do need to go back.


We need to bring back the talking.
We need to bring back the celebrating.
We need to bring back the swagger.
We need to bring back running up the score and letting everybody know who we are.


Because when Miami is Miami, nobody in the country wants that smoke. The moment we try to act polite and humble and “professional,” we lose what makes us different.


Let the players celebrate.
Let the players talk.
Let us play Miami football.


And let these teams remember why The U was feared in the first place.

Lmao teams didn’t fear us because we talked ****. Teams feared us because we beat the **** out of them and took no prisoners on the field.

Absolutely distorted view on our history and what made us great.

The **** talking don’t hit the same when you are at 2 losses in ******* November

If there talent was as equal I would imagine their NIL budget is equal? We know that’s a joke. I bet we have at least $15m more in NIL being paid if not more. Give me a ******* break.

Physical domination on the field of play is what creates fear in opponents. We had flashes of that earlier in the year. My brother-in-law is a Nole. He said Miami looked like Miami of old in that game. Just a physical beating on each play.

What are you talking about. When did Mario want them to not strike fear in opponents? Should we bring back the turnover chain so we can pull it out when we’re down 35?

The Old Miami came from a place of average and achieved greatness; teams thought the old Canes had something special-players, coaches, swag-that's why they feared the Old Canes. In short, they walked the walk: "Play anybody, anywhere, anytime." Won National Titles.

The New Miami pretended they were from that old greatness but fell off the ladder. Teams now laugh at the New Canes being "back" every season until Groundhog day sets in. They know because they see it, that anybody can beat The New Canes who only talk the talk. Cant even get to one let alone win an ACC Title.

So, IMO what you're suggesting is more of the same; fraudulent. That isn't what wins football games. Talent, coaching, discipline and physicality does.

They had the Old Canes on the sideline, how embarrassing for them. If it were easy anybody could do it - and the dogs they had on those Old Miami teams simply don't exist anymore in a "me first" NIL world.

How about not copying or appropriating something these new Canes had no part building and couldn't carry, and just focus on a couple of 10-win seasons to start with?

It’s not about beating feared, it’s about playing with a certain mindset. This team is uptight, nervous and insecure. They’ve got a collective case of the yips.

The teams OP is talking about played loose and had fun… this team would benefit greatly by looking at the past.

 

[Juancane]

I think it could be argued that Mario is playing exactly like the old days. He's stuck in a world where you handed off on 1st and 2nd down and then threw a short pass somewhere. Where you played super conservative and field position football. The celebration **** - we are still getting penalized for perception from 20 years ago about our teams. It would be dumb as **** to add fuel to that particular fire by celebrating even more.

I see your point, but I agree with OP… hear me out:

The dynasty teams played loose and had fun. This team is uptight and anxious. Remember when the SMU QB fumbled?

Before the refs reviewed the play, when everyone thought we got the ball back…The defense just walked off the field. No celebration, no congratulating teammates. They just turned and walked off. No energy, no excitement, no fun. Thats a problem.

I don’t think OP wants personal fouls, taunting and fake bravado. Which is what we have now. I think he wants a team that’s not scared to make a mistake.

That’s not how our NC teams played. At all.

All our problems would be solved if we just celebrated more and taunted more.....wow

I think OP has a point, but It’s not about showboating, it’s about playing loose, fast and violent. This version of the Hurricanes is obviously not doing any of those things right now… they’re uptight, anxious and scared to make a mistake.

what a horrible take.

Respectfully disagree.
We celebrated plenty and had plenty of bravado in the first 5 games....if it looks like we don't now is because things aren't going well.
I still think we celebrate plenty still but it's not the point.
We are bad and it's not because we are tight and not loose. We are bad, and it's not because of the intangible reasons the OP brought up.
We have REAL tangible problems.

I hate Nick Saban, but that POS had a great quote while addressing his team the year they opened with us and destroyed us.

"LET YOUR PLAY SPEAK LOUDER THAN YOUR WORDS"

Let quote the OP
"That edge, that swagger, that attitude, that we are better than you energy. That is what made teams fear us"

That's peak stupidity. What made them fear us was Jerome Brown, Warren Sapp, Ray Lewis, Ed Reed.....etc etc etc. Legendary football players
