Why do positive “fans” post on here?

Why does there have to be a binary dichotomy between "positive" and "negative" fans? Can't we just evaluate things from an honest neutral perspective? Being an analyst and being critical doesn't necessitate being negative all the time.

Because the negative portion of this fan base isn't being at all logical or objective (for the most part) in their rants, and just ***** to *****. They're ****ed off at 15 years of irrelevancy and are take it out on every new coach, without giving him anytime to right the ship. These are the same people who were hyped all off-season about "The New Miami" and some how let that hype convince them it would be some quick fix—when Diaz meant it as a long-term culture change for the program.

Meanwhile anyone attempting to be logical in regards to the "what is"—they're immediately considered a "slurped" and any buying into giving a new coach a three year window; it's considered homerism or blind loyalty.

Message boards started out (decades back) as a place where fans would come logically discuss their team—and much like anonymous social media culture, as turned into a place where people come to ***** and talk ****.

Do you agree it was another in a series of lazy, uninspiring hires?

All 7 games in the 7-0 were a joke, as were 8 of the 10 games in the 10-0. (The 2 exceptions being the Va Tech and ND games.)

You could say the same thing about the 1991 Hurricanes outside of Florida State.

Yes, the 2013 and 2017 teams were far weaker, but bloody **** we were ranked highly at the end of each streak and had at least the hope of continuing them. I can’t believe you weren’t pleased. It’s like having an attitude in 2001 when we won the NC that “whatever, too many players are leaving - no way we win next year - this org is trash”

Here’s you praising the extension of a then 21-17, 11-13 in the ACC coach. https://www.google.com/amp/s/itsauthing.com/um-finally-gives-randy-shannon-his-due/amp

They are blind sheep that would follow any coach over a cliff filled with lava. They cant see things for what they are

Why do you follow the program then? If you can see things for what they are and believe this program is going to continue to stink for the foreseeable future, why are you wasting your life following it? Do you have so little else going for you that you might as well spend your precious time on earth following a pathetic football team caught in an endless and inevitable cycle of misery? Why come here to yell at strangers about how bad this football team is? Do you just get off on being negative?

If you don't have a positive bias when following your teams, stop following sports. This is meaningless entertainment, enjoy it and be happy.

Some of us are more invested in the University of Miami than just the football team. Yes, I am not happy where the football program is right now, but I'm not ready to lose my mind one way or the other. I support this university.

It’s sad that this has to be explained. I’m as unhappy as anyone about the team’s performance, and if things don’t start looking up will be miserable regarding the program, but most posters here, including the people that run this site, have no real connection to the school or the program, don’t go to games, don’t contribute in any way. They have no measurable impact with the exception of creating negative social media vibes. They are just entitled.

Beats being negative and reading negative posts.

I grew up in the hood and watching people complain all day was never my thing. Got off my *** and made **** happen in life.

Go back in my hood same bums, hos, dealers, killers, robbers, thieves, and dumb ****** on the same corners. I love all my fam and friends but 90% of them spend all day *****ing instead of address or fixing problems in their lives.

So here I try to just sift through the garbage. If we going to be a trash program I’ll still root for the U. But not going to be whining about the **** all the time bruh.

Did anyone check on the bird if it was okay? Okay, seriously though, this is actually real, some birds that make nests on the side of steep mountains have their chicks jump off from their nest perches for their maiden flights. They land safely as long as they don’t hit a ledge below or get swooped on by hawks or eagles. Once on the ground, they learn to fly. ASK ME HOW I KNOW...

Seriously, there’s been almost nothing to be positive about as a Hurricane fan in more than a decade.

And frankly, this Manny Diaz guy looks like one of the bottom 10 FBS coaches. If we somehow turn around the season and go 12-2, I honestly will think it was completely in spite of Diaz and will still want Diaz fired.

If I am not mistaken Candyass2 didn't you just get off the band ? Did Manny smash your women, cause all you have done is complain about Diaz from the get go, and this is the part that makes you a **** sucking troll, you have not done so with any type of constructive criticism as others have eloquently done. You are here to incite, and it's obvious for anyone that has a brain.
 
1. We've been fans through even worse times and REMAIN optimistic.
2. Some are more than fans, some posters are former Canes that are LOYAL, unlike some posters.
3. Some of us have had a relationship with players and follow their careers as once a Cane ALWAYS a Cane.
4. Some of us are simply loyal out of love for the team, the U and the love of attending games like the last ND game with expectations it will happen more often but bottom line is your definition of FAN is absurd, Fans are for life not bandwagon.

While watching the shyteshow against CMU, I was channel surfing so as not to fall asleep, and found this on Nat Geo, or one of them similar channels. Still waiting/dreaming for a hawk to scoop up our chick coaches in free fall.

I’m sure you’re successful. People like you are a sought after commodity - just to put it in crass economic terms.
 
Candycane2 said:
It’s a rather moot point since we’re not going 12-2, but I basically think that if we go 12-2, it’ll have meant that the players completely ignored everything Manny and the coRching staff said during practice and during games.

Is it a moot or a moat?
 
motorcitycane's story is a good lesson. Negativity and complaints won't change your situation. You need to take action.

Miami fans: we're going to keep going 7-5 every season unless we make it abundantly clear that we're not okay with going 7-5 every year.

Take action. Cancel your season tickets. Voice your displeasure. Stop supporting this obvious charade. Get angry.

When 2-2 turns into 7-5 and you guys are preaching patience, please think about this post.

Hope for 10-2, but don't pretend to be stupid if/when we're 7-5.

Peace. God Bless.

This board has always, and will always have problems with this. Completely polar before season and after too.
