I remember one of the first huge upset of the :neonu: was when East Carolina had endured a real hurricane, had to move to a neutral field and they upset the :neonu:. I have to admit that watching them celebrate their victory after suffering through a bad hurricane was emotional for any viewer because they upset the bad guys who were the :neonu:.

Whenever any team beats the :neonu: it is an historic accomplishment therefore EVERY game we have a target on our helmets and uniforms with the :neonu:. Our team needs to realize that when they wear the :neonu: they are representing all of the famous and notorious players in our history and EVERY TEAM that plays us is going to play their very best game of the year.
Until our current players recognize what the :neonu: represents to opponents we will continue to suffer unbearable losses. Would we celebrate if we had beat FIU, no way but did fans notice the glowing expression on Butch's face when they beat the :neonu: or the celebration of the FIU fans.
The :neonu: will continue to be a huge target and until those who represent the :neonu: give efforts worthy of wearing the :neonu: we will suffer unexplainable losses. It should never happen against teams where we are favored yet we get a maximum effort when we play the gator, the noles or the irish. That type of effort needs to show up week after week if anyone expects us to be champions again.
Saying IT'S GREAT TO BE A MIAMI HURRICANE doesn't mean diddly unless you perform and ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE!

La Tech would love to smash us will get lots of accolades if they do, we need to take care of business and move on as if they are trash.

Beating this team doesn’t mean ****. You’re living in the past.
 
That may have been true 20 years ago but beating the U now is not historic event except in our mind. We are now a average team that on any given day is beatable. And the answer to would we celebrate if we beat FIU the answer is yes just like we did against CM early in the year.

It's been obvious for a while that this program is in dire need of an *****—as the entitlement class after class seems to get worse, as the University of Miami gets further and further away from relevancy and glory days.

Posts like this are a reminder this fan base is in need of equally as big a realty check.

Whether it's living in the past, not understanding how UM cannot complete financially with football factories (resulting in second-rate coaches, ADs, et al) or this cucked attitude so many have regarding guys like Martell or Thomas and their supposed legacies or talent level—it really is a fun era for non-Canes who couldn't stand Miami being on top, as the fan base is spiraling as bad as the team.

"The U" ... the chains and rings .... the "swag" ... all are relics. UM needs to stop talking and start doing, as everyone has lost their way. Canes still have a "brand"—but it's a facimile and this program needs to go into reinvention-mode just as went into invention-mode back in the late 1970's under Schnelly.

Back then the Canes were nobodies. These days, nothing more than has-beens.

I don’t want to be a dîck but this OP, as written, is just ghey.

We’re dead. Find competence in a new AD or a football AD and hire competence on the field.

Find a fan base that wants to write checks the way alum do at big time state schools with 40K undergrads—and you'll have a start.

Miami fans want a mansion, but this program can only afford a tract home.

Georgia just dumped $200M into their program—the majority of which came from alumni-related donations and fans supporting that program through donations, as well as undying support—living and breathing Bulldogs football, showing up every Saturday in droves. Same stories in Tuscaloosa, Baton Rouge, Auburn, Columbus, Ann Arbor, State College, Gainesville, etc.

Miami has 11K undergrads in a pro-sports metropolis—where most UM fans aren't alum and don't write checks back to the program. When things go south, they check out just as they would on the Dolphins or HEAT.


Fans wants to talk about ACC rev-share or adidas money—great. All these other schools get massive SEC or Big Ten money, as well as massive alumni financial support. Georgia's Magill Society had 1,100+ new members in 2018 at a minimum donation of $25,000-per-head—on top of what they're already raking in from their alum.


Miami better figure out how to do more with what it has, as it's never gonna see the financial backing that will result in a $13M coaching staff salary like Georgia sees—or their NCAA-leading $7M annual recruiting budget.

All these big money schools are playing chess. Miami ain't even playing checkers; it's going Chutes And Ladders style, while missing half the game pieces.

We were* the U.

Now we're LA Tech Jr with Manny & Blake leading the program. Bring Back Mario.

Mario is a clown.

Miami would have to pay an absolute mint for Cristobal—who ain't even all that—and all it would do is getting him more money from Oregon, as Phil Knight ain't looking for a fifth different head coach in eight years in Eugene.

I just want competence dude. Not expecting to compete with the top bag schools anymore. I want to see us beat FIU, UNC, VT, Duke and CMU the way we’re supposed to.
 
We KNOW what we've become but our opponents still thrive and give extra effort whenever they play the U. Why do we play our best games against the gator, the noles and ND...for the same reason lesser teams get sky high for us. I loved the past but know what our future holds if the players we recruit don't get what they are signing up for. Becoming one with the U is family and historic but not if the recruits are casual about wearing the U. We can be great and the talent is on the team but why they lay down when facing inferior teams is a big problem and needs to be resolved. The teams that beat us is because we beat ourselves by lack of effort, not because they were better. We should've beat the gator and we did beat the noles and Va yet lost to VT and GT and FIU. That is on the team period.
