Who actually graduated the U?

Ohhhh, I never said best. I'd have LOVED to have been in and at Miami during your era (although I may not have survived). I think my era just has gravitas in the discussion because it was our last dose of glory and contained the best team in modern college football history.

Fair enough. It's hard being an older guy on this board, so many of the young ones just remember the more recent run.

When I started at UM, we just had long benches for the student section, no "butt-hugger" seat covers. Didn't even have a magnetic strip on our Cane cards (didn't have a Cane card), you just flashed your student ID. Student section was way over-packed with students and their friends, family, and anyone else you could jam through the gate.

I know a lot of folks tailgated in people's yards, but I was fortunate enough to have fraternity alums with parking in one of the OB lots. I have hazy memories of certain games due to massive inebriation. Two consecutive Student Government presidents (Joe Garcia and Bill Barzee) were arrested by the Miami cops in 1986 and 1987, and Bill Barzee was beaten up (his mug shot graced the front page of The Miami Hurricane).

Good times.

I wish. I came from humble beginnings and had to pay my own way thru school which was a small Liberal Arts school in PA. I wish mom and daddy forked it over to allow me to do so, but the lessons I learned are irreplaceable and I have aspirations to be well off enough to send my kids there someday!

I came from humble beginnings, as well.... I was also a young fool who dreamt way too big, and wasn’t financially conscious till my first student loan bill. Between Sallie Mae, Navient, the federal govt, and private lenders....... I’m pretty sure I’m involved in some form of legalized involuntary indentured servitude. That’s on me, no regrets.

I think you’ve made a sound decision. I learned fiscal responsibility the umm “how not to live your life” way... You’re a cane at the end of the day in my book regardless of where you went to school or what your socioeconomic status is.

Do we actually have to have graduated? Because I went to Miami for Law School but then decided lawyering wasn’t for me and I had a soul.

Grow up. Souls are a myth for little kids and old people on their death beds.
