why do the negative folks bother to even post here.

It's an easy fix.

You can put all these negative posters on ignore. So it doesn't keep you up at night and in return. It will stop you from starting bait threads. Trying to get people to attack you.

You want happy thoughts. They want to *****. I don't give a **** either way as long as people talk Miami football and keep it civil.

What a stupid response from a MOD no less, spend more time trying to clean up the site from the trolls and less time trying to be cute.

If posters like you spent more time tossing these so called negative posters on ignore. The board would be pretty clean on your side.

That would be too easy wouldn't it? You want people banned for not agreeing with your side.

Both side want the same thing. The board cleaned from the guys that don't agree with them.

When it can all be controlled by you. By simply putting people on ignore.

Saying something negative isn't trolling though. If someones the type that gets their feelings hurt and mood real sads when someone doesn't say something nice and chipper, then they need to hit the ignore button or stay far away from sports.

There comes a time when you (as a rational human being) have to realize that this isnt the dominant program it once was, and likely never will be again.

There is 3-5 schools in the country that will do whatever it takes to be a dominant football program. At one point we were in that category, but unfortunately that time is long gone.

I have accepted that we are a mid tier ACC team and nothing more. Every once in a while we will have a crazy season and we'll win like 10 games and win the coastal or something, but that it this programs ceiling now. ACC coastal champs, maybe NY6 bowl winners once in a blue moon. But thats it.

Be happy with beating FSU and winning the coastal once every 3-4 years, or stop following this program unless you're actively donating money to the athletic department and working to improve things.

The glory days are long gone, and college football has passed the University of Miami by.

Accept it.

Some of us just want to see the program get back to relevance instead of a perpetual mid level ACC Coastal team. I view those people as the true Canes fans but you do you.

Everyone wants Miami to get back to relevance; but judging this program week-by-week, or snap-by-snap—without being realistic in regards to how far this thing has fallen and how a new staff needs time to get it right—is just flat-out idiotic.

There is a complete denial and ability to comprehend that what this program current is, versus what they want it to—despite 15 years of irrelevance, five head coaches over a 14-year span, a 1-of-15- run regarding Coastal Division titles (and no ACC crowns) and something like a 99-73 record since Coker's final game in Boise.

All these people keep talking about some "standard" that is LONG GONE as this sport has grown at a rapid rate, regarding finances and overall parity across the board.

Why isn't Miami "back"—because of a lack of continuity; firing coaches every few years (after making the wrong hires) ... it's always one step forward, five steps back.

We have a fan base that was chest-thumping all off-season about "The New Miami"—as if it was some instant-fix, instead of a long-term culture change and what Diaz is building the program towards.

Delusional fans get heightened expectations and then are constantly let down and bitter when they're not met.

There were two types of fans in 2017—those who looked at 10-0 and were screaming "PLAYOFFS!! WE WANT CLEMSON!!! CANES ARE BACK!!!" and then the logical fan who saw glaring weaknesses, sub-par quarterback play and some miracle finishes against FSU, GT, UNC, and Cute and knew this was realistically 7-3 team at that point of the season, instead of one that was riding momentum (all the way through Notre Dame) and was getting all the breaks.


The fact people come on this site and **** and moan every week over every letting thing—yet were the same one screaming "12-0!" to start the season ... that's on them, not the coaches.

Great, everyone WANTS to get back to relevance — but what moves made over the past 15 years have done ANYTHING to put Miami any closer to that goal? A cheap hire in Randy Shannon and a waste of four years? A low-rent hire in Al Golden when no one else wanted the job—and a waste of five years? Nevin Shapiro and an NCAA investigation during that span, a well?

Mark Richt coming in well-intended but learning after three years he wasn't hard-wired to do a young man's job of rebuilding a program from the ground up — which rolled the "wasted years" count to 12 seasons, not counting those 3-4 years Coker cruised on autopilot.

Nobody has been home to run this program for a decade-and-a-half—yet people are confused as to why the culture is broken and Miami can't take the necessary steps to get back to relevancy?

What was Einstein's definition of insanity—doing the same thing over and over, but expecting different results?

At some point people need to process things like adults and look at this program as a whole—especially the decisions made over the past 15 seasons—instead of spouting off tired nonsense about the way things used to be, what the standard use to be, how it used to be "national championship, or bust" and blah, blah, blah.

News flash; Notre Dame was a force in the leather helmet era and outside of that 1988 stolen title, has been irrelevant for about half a century.

Pitt was a force with Tony Dorsett in the 1970s, too. What happened to that era? Long gone.

Nebraska was a force under Tom Osborne, but everything soon changed and they're irrelevant as ****.

For some reason a part of this fan base wants to believe this program is somehow above 15 years worth of bad decisions, as well as a big money sport growing at a rapid pace in which Miami is now struggling to keep up.

.... to that point, people need to go read that recent ESPN article on Georgia and the $200,000,000 upgrade they just did to get from "good" to "great"—AFTER two years where Smart had them knocking on the door; especially the part where there were 1,100 new donors in the past year who pledged $25,000 or more to the program.

Meanwhile Miami fans barely buy season tickets and are still rocking old nineties Nike apparel.

It is a different ballgame these days, people. Sooner you accept that, better off you'll be.

Doesn't mean the Canes can't win the ACC at some point and reach the Playoffs—but a perennial power like big money SEC schools; never gonna happen.

Georgia spent $7M on recruiting the past three years and their staff's totally annual budget is over $13M.

GTFOH. Different world.
 
I can’t think of many positives to post about
For every good thing we have 2-3 more bad things

I saw that article.

I'd be curious to see the number Miami has spent on the football program since 2005 TOTAL. Probably right around the same UGA has spent since hiring Kirby alone.

So your oblivious to the constant trashing of every thread by the trolls...good job, good effort. No, do your job and MODERATE the board. I visit multiple team sites and none are as much as a cluster as this. Take a look around.
 
You'd think with the number of people complaining that Miami doesn't spend enough, there'd be a back log of donations from fans so the athletic department could keep up financially with the top tier programs.

This is for Canes FANS so all I can assume is the super negative posters are not fans but simply want to denigrate OUR team. I wish they would find another team to ROOT for since they are not ROOTING for our team.

What do you think sports internet forums are for, circle jerking each other? If you can't commiserate, what's the point? I don't need to type pretend bs to fake recruits into thinking it's all roses here.

I see, so if we just turn a blind eye to the trolls from other fan bases and the trolls that are taking pleasure in our demise it would be more convenient for you and yours ? Huh. I think you have misunderstood the point of this thread. This was not aimed at posters who are actual cane fans and are ****ed off about the state of the program, most of them practice a little something called constructive criticism. Got no beef with them

I am talking about ***** who don't belong here i.e. trolls from other fan bases and posters whose only purpose is to show up to make sure that the dead horse is beat over and over again.

If I can get a bull**** infraction because you and yours don't like the way I lay down some truth. then i can surely ask you to do what you agreed to do when you took on this task.
 
Man go back and read some of the threads where Posters all sunshine pumping some BS. There is always one or two posters calling bull**** and majority of the time they are right. Sometimes there is truth in negativity. This Central Michigan game clearly tells us something is not working in Coral Gables. People on this site seem this movie before, they know what’s going on. I agree some people on here do just hate for no reason. But the grand majority these cats are calling it like they see it.

I see that you have not reported any post for trolling.

Report function is available to you. Post that have been reported get handled. Sorry but there doesn't seem to be many mods roaming the halls. So when i log in the 1st thing i deal with are reports. Then i start looking at threads. I don't live on here any more for personal health reason. So excuse me for not doing the job that these other sites do.

I gave a simple solution. You want too get butt hurt for using a feature that avoids seeing these trolls. Actually two features, ignore and report post.

Please give them a try. I bet if you did. You would see the problems disappearing. I wonder also how many of those others are free sites and how many active mods they have. You can always feel free to message @Andrew or @DMoney and become a mod yourself. Then you can do what i seem to not be able too pull off.

You're a chump. You think you have some god-given right to dictate the content of others' posts? GTFOH with that pollyanna bull****.

Funny. I want what's best for our players, and that just happens to be what's best for fans. Do the players want to win? Yes. Do fans want them to win? Yes. So, what the heck is the problem?

Dude, I have watched your posts for a while have you been critical sure, have you been negative probably, should you be called out for it, No, because you attempt to do so constructively. This thread was directed at the trolls from other fan bases who run around here with impunity pretending to be cane fans. This was directed at the "fans" who are not in anguish but who are actually taking pleasure in our demise and yes some of them are long time posters.

18 years of mediocrity and terrible coaching do that. We are as fabs as others but we have learn to see and smell shi$t fast and from far away.
