It isn’t well actually. It is just that it will be known for two things. Like the 1991 Cotton Bowl. We blew out Texas. We ran up so many penalties etc that the NCAA started the Miami Rule. Doesn’t mean that Texas gets to say well actually. Just means two things came out of it. Both were news worthy. Same with Miami losing and the flopping that might result in an FIU Rule.

FIU won the game and the record books will never have a "they flopped" next to the result.

Yup. They beat a 6-4 Miami team in a throwaway 2019 season—moving both them and the Canes to 6-5.

It's the highlight of Butch's sad career since leaving North Carolina in shame—his dream job down the road in Coral Gables, while he's stuck at FIU pulling his pud for the rest of his coaching career, celebrating that time he beat a garbage Canes team—while still in the Conference USA basement, where he'll hope to someday be relevant.

Good for him, I guess ... as if anyone cares about the "record books" in a throwaway game between two barely-over-.500 teams.

This ain't 2004 and a 3-4 North Carolina team knocking off #3 Miami and putting 545 yards on Randy Shannon's defense—saving John Bunting's sad job; a game that ultimately cost the Canes the ACC title year one in the conference.

It was a bad FIU team beating a bad Miami team; a program that's been in a 15-year rut. Throw this one on the pile with a slew of other embarrassing losses. It's not like the upset a contender.

Thanks. I was at the game. I was a sophomore. The other thing it is famous for

Following the 1991 Cotton Bowl, the NCAA committee introduced the first ever rule on taunting, dubbing it the "Miami Rule." While playing Texas in the Cotton Bowl, the Hurricanes were penalized 16 times for 202 yards, including nine unsportsmanlike conduct calls, setting both bowl and school records.

You’re insane if you don’t think this represents way more than one bad team beating another. This loss is an indictment of a failed regime, whose chosen savior just got beat by someone they passed on at least twice, who by the way was the guy that put together the last successful team here - probably the greatest college team of all time. It’s an epic story in so many ways and is actually quite humorous if you pull your emotions out of it.

They actually said “I feel ya coach” to the flops. As in emphasizing with Manny. FIU looked bad.

They got the W. Instead of bxtching about the flopping and what Butch said. It's irrelevant to the state of bum *** Miami.
 
None of this would have happened if we won the game, even by one point. Fock you Flake, the Hecht, the BOT.

I think I understand you. You are upset that people are discussing the flops. The important thing is that we lost and what that means as to the state of the program. Well, you would need to contact ESPN if you are upset about the piece they ran.
