Say my dog ran into the street and got clipped. I have choices. I can have sympathy and take the dog to the vet or say it will cost to much so a bullet in the brain is pennies, but I love my dog and no expense is too much to get her back to health. Worse, your wife discovers she has MS and she will operate in a diminished capacity. You have several choices, divorce or stand by her and care for her. I for one enjoyed every minute I had with my wife with MS until she passed, I've met MS victims who had their family desert them, the family had a choice.
Loyalty, care, love bind us to our loved ones and it is because they have brought us joy. Why am I being so morbid? 58 straight wins at home, 5 National Championships, getting to watch future Hall of Fame players, etc has given me great joy. There were some games we played where I hated leaving the stadium savoring the victories. It was painful when we lost to Ohio State and Penn State or saw players like Rusty Meaderis go down with a career ending injury or Bratton on his final Hurricane play have a crippling injury that diminished his future.. Did we fly banners when we lost that Penn State game which if we played them 9 more times we would beat them all 9.
We fans take our teams seriously to a fault and let emotion override our senses when they stumble and that is when they need us the most. Not those fans who say cancel your season tickets, stay home from games and yes, fly banners. Sorry but I have had much more pleasure watching the Miami Hurricanes then grief. I look forward to the next game like the last ND game where we embarrassed one of our biggest rivals, or cherish the wide FG games or any victory over the noles or gator.
Now is the time to support our team, to recognize that these are young men who hate losing and will strive until they can represent the Hurricane standards. Every team has ups and downs, it is how we fans support them that matters most when they are down. We are Miami Hurricane fans, imagine being a Red Sox or Cubs fan during their demise. We WILL be back better and stronger from the struggles. Will you be supporting the effort or booing when they struggle. As for me and my house, we wear our Hurricane apparel with pride, win, lose or draw. IT'S GREAT TO BE A MIAMI HURRICANE.

I expect criticism and could care less..I'll be there through the trials and await the successes that are sure to come. It's all about that :neonu:

Thought this was about how we dominate when it’s Waxing Crescent! But I didn’t make it past the 2nd sentence, so maybe it eventually got to that
 
Unfortunately I saw nothing this whole season to make me believe the players hate losing. My take is that there is a cadre of players who don't give a rat's *** whether we win or lose. What's ever more discouraging is that there's no one on the team willing to take on leadership role and call out the slackers. It's a gosh **** shame.

How much less could you care?

Nobody wants to give up and abandon the program.


We have realistic expectations of how a team with the talent we have should perform against our schedule.


Very realistic expectations. Nobody else in all of college football so severely underperforms like Miami.


We blame the administration and the people they hire to coach the team.


All we want is a 10 win season and to NOTICEABLY improve every year until we can compete for ACC championships.


Those are very realistic expectations.

We are nothing but an NFL farm team these days.
No joy in that..

I sure hope we'll be back. Red Sox fans waited too long. We won't have to.
 
The way the team played against FIU, I wouldn't be surprised if most of them get waxed on the regular. Except Hedley. Don't beat me up Lou!
