I hung out at with Earl Sr. at a tailgate YEARS ago. Earl Jr. had just started to play at the "Pop Warner" level, and I told him that I would be excited to see Earl Jr. play for Miami. Never would have imagined that it would all go so poorly...

That’s alright. I met the Olsen family at the Orange Bowl and told a young Kevin that I was looking forward to seeing him play for Miami too.
 
Any updates on Norvell's arrest?

In hindsight, HRS--especially since the reno--has been a GREAT blessing: we have access to a GREAT, world class stadium, and didn't have to pay to build it, nor renovate it--nor even pay for its upkeep!

This has freed monies up to build on-campus facilities, pay a great (first-rate) coaching staff, and pay players--instead of renovating an ancient stadium into a new one to attempt to create more revenue long-term.

I understand that fans want Miami to have their own stadium but I don’t think most fans understand the costs and how long it would take to actually start turning a profit. Most college stadiums are ancient and were built when construction prices were much cheaper than today. FSU’s renovation is setting them back financially for years. Imagine how strapped the UM athletic department would be if they had to purchase outrageously expensive Miami property and build a multi billion dollar facility on it? Maybe it would start to pay off in 2048.

I'm so over it. Perfectly content with HRS.
 
Remember they came into the season saying we would fall off because it was a 1 man team with Cam and portal players last season. Now its we are loaded and cant win the ACC. Purgatory for a decade atleast incoming. U can check teams trajectory and ours is clear. The roster is getting better, overall. We played them and made them look like a JV team for 3 and a half quarters. Ohio and Texas played, it was 14-7. Ohio and Indiana played it was 13-10. Ohio at home and neutral site. We win 10-3 on the road in an elimination game and we supposed to feel bad. Lol ok.

I once did an analysis of how much Texas has spent renovating their stadium over the years; it’s hundreds of millions of dollars. That’s the challenge with an on campus stadium.

Eh, for now they are. We’ve had our down years too. I think it would have to take more than just two years for the rivalry to end.

If they truly do fall off a cliff and become similar to a directional school in terms of budget, recruiting, and they go over a decade or more without beating us, then maybe it’s up for discussion. But it’s a bit premature for that now. Definitely looks like it could be heading that way though.

Florida State could be brought back in relatively quick fashion (3 years) under the appropriate circumstances. They would need their own version of Mario and the funding to primarily retain their top players as well as add key portal talents.
 
They really are the most delusional fans ever. Pumping their chests out over a higher YPC average.....how many of those yards came vs back to back FCA teams? Same with the rest of their offensive production. Their players are jumping ship, and the administration has done everybody but come out and say they are punting on the 26 season. Hate to see it
