Lol at thinking this type of loss is ever acceptable at the University of Miami.
I am so tired of not only bad football, but fans who have enabled the soft expectations that we now have at Miami
Again, says who?
This mindset is hilarious. Miami kicked open the door to college football in the early 1980's and upended everything, winning titles and changing the game. Hit with probation a few years, Miami rebuilt with Butch—an unorthodox and optimally-timed comeback as the sport hadn't gone big money yet—but was back in the dumpster when Butch took off in 2001; the program good for as long as Coker still had his recruits.
The past 15 years this little poorly-funded, private school program has been a joke. A president tried to bury it, a con-man almost took it down and low-rent hires have been the name of the game since Davis left. Most fans aren't alum and don't support the program financially or on game day—all while the sport went big money and other program grew leaps and bounds. The big dogs in college football have been playing checkers; the Canes have been playing Chutes & Ladders with Monopoly pieces.
Miami has barely had money around the program for less than a year now—which led to Cristobal, a new staff, Radakovich and some groundwork changes being made—but outside of that, who the f**k is the University of Miami outside of a has-been program with a fan base that still talks about some mythical expectations like it's four decades ago?
This program is three years removed from losing to Florida International, Duke and Louisiana Tech to end a 6-7 season. 7-6 the year before that while Richt went 7-9 after his miracle 10-0 start. Diaz followed up with a joke of a 21-15 run, where he got slaughtered buy Clemson, North Carolina and Alabama the past two years
Honestly, where does this entitled talk about a loss like this not being "acceptable" at Miami? Who is this program to have this type of ego? Y'all sound like Notre Dame fans with these expectations, based on nothing but ancient history.
Miami is 118-85 since the 2005 Peach Bowl, is 0-of-18 in the lowly ACC and has one measly Coastal title, where they got run out of the stadium, 38-3.
These aren't "soft expectation"—this is reality, holmes. Until a coach comes in and changes the culture by willing big again, this is a mediocre program that hasn't done **** in 16 years. The only thing "Miami" are the uniforms and the "U" on he helmets, but it's been a sea of imposters and jokers behind the mask for the past 16 years, outside some talented kids here and there—but never a fully competitive team.
Read the quotes from two offensive lineman this past weekend; saying the team didn't show up, thought they'd just roll over Middle Tennessee, hearts weren't in it, etc. Coaches put a foot their *** in practice all week an we still have a sea of entitled kids running out that tunnel every Saturday.
We can talk about "expectations" again the day Miami deserves to have any expectations. As of now, this team has averaged out to 7-5 every year for the past 16 years—so again, any "expectation" that Miami has "no business" losing to Middle Tennessee is hilarious considering it's lost to Duke multiple times, lost to FIU, lost to Louisiana Tech, almost lost to Central Michigan and Appalachian State over the past handful of years.
The "Decade Of Dominance" Canes this is not.... and hasn't been in two decades.
