What The U Needs

GuptaKnows said:
It is indeed slipping in those rankings. I checked for myself to see if it was true when I heard people on here talking about it. We are now at #53 but used to be in the forties a handful of years ago.

Before anyone says 53rd is still solid, it is, but the point is it shouldn’t be trending down if the main focus of the school is to improve academics at the foolish expense of the football program.

My degree is from Sun Tan U. It was nothing. After Howard and JJ, it was everything. People in London would stop me to ask where to get Cane gear like I had on. Same thing in Japan. The U was global brand. Foote, Donna and the BOT were as stupid as can be. The value they threw away was, well priceless.

My appliance repair man also attended Sun Tan U. All he remembers was spending the second semester of his only year there in a swimming pool at a fraternity house.

What we need is for the BOT to realize they aren't the Harvard of anywhere. This schools biggest calling card outside the alumni base with an inflated image of the prestige of their diplomas is football and the weather. It is time to do what Miami is good at and is known for, the charade of climbing the US news polls for a few years is over, it is slipping again. Time to re focus on what is really important.

Little expensive for appliance repair but to the point. Back then it had good law, medicine and oceanography but not much else.

what we need is to rid of the slurpers (including fans, admins, ad, bot) that support mediocrity
until this changes the school will be happy with 7-5 and low levels bowls on a yearly basis as long as the program stays clean

if Miami were happy with 7-5 seasons we wouldn't be replacing coaches every 4 years and we would never have fired Coker broseph. think before you post.
 
Maybe they will have an oceanography class to explore this sinking ship Mork is in charge of.

You will have to be certified in deep sea diving to take it though cause Mork is sinking it into the depths..

These kids that come to Miami watch those 30 for 30's about the U and think it's easy to replicate. They thought Miami was just about talking trash and that was it.

Saw it in Dallas up close when our team was talking smack to LSU. I knew right there we were done. These kids today don't have that same toughness that those Canes teams had back in the day.

anyone that knows anything about CANES football knows that the great Miami teams and players were very hard working. no one was ever going to work harder or practice harder than those great CANES. the practices were brutal and more competitive than the games and not for weak asses. most of these kids today could never survive any of that.
 
We had punters that would have played over quite a few starters and back ups on defense, of the past 8 years. Even after Coker mishaps we still looked like the U physically for a while. We lost leadership, players holding each other accountable, nastiness, guys that just refuse to lose. We have some, back then we had team fulls. Days are long gone.

There all elite mouth but not elite talent...........all teams talk back like when we raped texas and had a million penalties..........texas mouthed off back but didnt have the horses. If we dont get elite kids it will be more **** talking and no gameplay, thats where we are and we are going to continue in that direction

DJ Dallas before the season "It doesn't matter who the QB is we beating everybody's a@@" then 7-5 happen. Now that I think out DJ, Cager and Jordan are the biggest twitter frontrunners the team and you never really don't any **** talking from the Defense HMMMMMMMMM?

talkin **** isnt anything new every team does it, we just suck plain and simple. The best players go to other schools the proofs in the NFL just look at it. Our best players arent the super stars no more and most of our last savages are retiring. We are not the same Miami its not even close to being the same Miami we are years and years away. I just dont see how they fix it with the SEc and big money schools raping. I think there momentum is too much to overcomes and the money keeps rolling in for them and rightfully so they put a superior product on the field.....while we look like a USF UCF UTAH Maryland type school
