Technically, they are the real Miami. Their University was formed before Florida was even a state.

Wikipedia, for all it's flaws, is your friend:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miami_University

Miami University, as it exists today, started in 1885, way after Florida was admitted to the union...It's a tired trope the Miami bookstore puts on T-shirts to be repeated by their students/alum that needs correction...I do it a lot because I live and work in the "The Miami Valley" where the school derives its name.

Fun Facts:

David Hyde, of the Sun Sentinel, is a graduate, a Miami Alum showed me old news clippings

Donna Shalala is not an alum, as reported: She graduated from the Western College for Women in 1962 and it wasn't initially absorbed by Miami until 1974 (guaranteed post down votes with the mention).

Over the years have had MU graduate direct reports and this year is no different: My former Miami womens soccer player is being too quiet and if the REAL Miami falters, staff meeting will take on a whole new vibe.

I have had season tickets for 14 consecutive years, have been to over 200 Canes games, and rarely miss a home game. When I do, I make sure a Canes fan has a ticket.

If you have a problem with my analysis, provide an alternate opinion. Your blind criticism isn't worth a food stamp.

I did give an alternate opinion already you crybaby. You live in South Florida so you should be a season ticket holder. I would be too. My rant came from the fact that you are passing judgement on this season that hasn’t even started. Have a nice day.

If your orthographic prowess is any indicator, you're the quintessential "E before W" guy.

As the old commercials say, Reading is Fundamental. The University founded in 1809 closed its doors in 1873...No students, no faculty, the former campus was a grammar school. It ceased to exist.

Even during the 1932 bankruptcy, UMiami still was an entity and did not close, emerging from it in 1934 re-incorporated.

Now if you want to get love from Donna Shalala for keeping up Oxford's myth, go for it.

I grew up in Toledo and went to Ohio U undergrad (my brother went to Miami of Ohio). I lived and breathed MAC football through my childhood and still watch MAC games whenever I can. That said, we should absolutely roll this team by the 2nd half. They will have one or two players who are ACC caliber kids, but we should manhandle them on both sides of the ball and have them worn down by the second half where we pull away. My guess is Vegas got it right. Its probably a game we win by 2 or 3 TDs.

I guess that’s one way to look at it.

That’s like saying the United States started drinking alcohol after prohibition ended. But whatever man. I’m not that invested in it. I just read the first line on their website.

Not getting the linkage with prohibition; better example would be Old National Airlines based out of Miami whose name was used by another airline at the turn of the century.

Glad your not too

Not really getting the prohibition linkage...However, totally new companies will use old defunct names from time to time; National Airlines comes to mind.

For someone not invested, you verbatim used the line right off the Miami U merchandise about being older than the State of Florida. Interesting.

We can agree the University of Miami needs to win this convincingly.

I wouldn’t know. I’ve never seen Miami Ohio merchandise. I was curious about which school opened first. I googled the university and saw their website. It said they opened in 1809. If it closed down and reopened later, I have no idea.

They are a Mac team.....from me gambling on tuesdays for years...I know their team will be physical at least.

Not expecting a blow out at all....especially with how MTSU did us last year.

Rourke can light it up for sure. Can’t have mental mistakes/blown coverages in the secondary from last year carry over or he can make Miami pay for it.

Side note- taking them +3.5 vs SDSU next week and hoping it goes to +4.
 
Hopefully this offense isn’t as boring as last year’s. I predict the fake Miami to come out fired up and give us a game. 31-27 we pull it out at the end.

Would love to see us finally cover a spread.

Recipe is grind them running the ball in 2H in the 70% humidity weather.

From what I read tho, they got at least 6 transfers from top 40 programs… for whatever it’s worth
