Oh ****. That he even feels the need to tweet support for Blake means that seat is hooooot. Perfect.

get the billboard up asap!

 

[Consigliere]

It's sad that going at Blake James and the BOT on twitter's going to be more entertaining than this coming season. But I'm for this course of action.

The BOTs are content with apathy and zero accountability approach. This is what you get with self inflicted cancer.

Yes, and falling into being one of the top 60-ish universities in the country doesn't mean we "don't have good academics". There are 22 million people in the 20-24 demographic, and 21.5 million of them will not have a UM-caliber education.

Wow, you don’t get it. Wow.

Side note: Top 60, talk about moving the bar.

Don't get what? Your hyperbole? The academics at UM are better than anything most of the population will ever receive.

So when we were #47 we were fine, but being #60 means we "don't have good academics"? Should UM students just drop out and start driving for Uber?

Sht ain’t that hard man.
Hire Danny white
Give manny the support staff he needs
Increase recruiting budget
Get a state of the art locker room and players lounge.
Give the great players and their awards the respect they deserve instead of mixing all the sports together at the shcwartz center.
That sht is definitely in the budget,
But they have the balls to say their committed?!!
You do the above and If manny sht the bed you have everything in place for recruiting and showing an elite coach you mean business.

It's not the position, it's the trend.

Fine, then say that. But don't act as though our students aren't earning valuable degrees.

Please not this conversation again.

Didn't someone start talking about academics before I did?

You are new here and they are not entirely wrong. You’re arguing semantics. The school is going in the wrong direction across the board. Talk less, listen more.

They are wrong when they say "we don't have good academics" when they should have said "our US News and World Report ranking has been declining".

No. Not at all. Academics have been falling here consistently and try comparing us to other public schools in Florida. Some have been improving and our school has been falling. So no, you don’t get it.

Speaking of insane hyperbole, love your Uber example.

But "we don't have good academics", so why stay in school?

Don't get angry about being called out for making a silly comment. Carry on with your message board superiority.

Listen to what? Incorrect, emotional statements?

We're not M.I.T., but UM grads go into the workforce with a fighting chance.

So do FSU students. Even when they were ranked in the 100s. So do FAU students when they were ranked in the hundreds. Actually, every college graduate has a fighting chance in the workforce.
