That’s true but I banned him flat out - now reduced to 2 days. Insult a Maude and go. I’m not having uncontrollable anarchy and chaos in charge here. This place needs some order, some decorum and some structure - otherwise it becomes unmanageable and unreadable very quickly. I personally stopped verbally insulting people as much as I can help it a while ago - to be part of the solution not the problem of insults which was killing readership until it was gotten under control. If we let it go then it spirals out of control.

@RVACane I see that you are trying to change the culture under your watch; but much like Mario, it's going to take a cycle or two to get your type of posters here.

Thank you. I personally don’t call kids names or think it’s a good thing.

I get the anger when people feel like a local kid trolled or disrespected UM as a general matter. This is a UM football board of mouth foaming fans. It’s not going to be an accepting place for that. Look at when Blissainthe did the U down. It was what I’d expect here. Me myself, I’m still mad about the Teddy Bridgewater throat slash. 😂

Insults amongst posters or at Maudes though I do have a say in. That stuff can escalate things on the board.

And maybe cool your jets on the UM slander. Recognize the university is bigger than the football program. And as a university, UM provides a lot to the community. One personal example: once upon a time it provided this local Cuban kid (and member of the local community) a full scholarship and an opportunity. And I'm not the only one on this board who was provided that sort of opportunity... UM provides students literally millions in scholarship money every year.

Beyond that, another example is UM's Community Health Improvement program plus Jackson Health's financial assistance programs provide quite a bit of free healthcare every year (Jackson Health Foundation alone gave $13.8 million of aid in FY 2020). If you want to keep it to UM athletics, they give out tickets to the local community all the time... Teacher Appreciation games (they just gave away 400 tickets to teachers for Southern Miss)... Hometown Hero (4,300 tickets donated to veterans and their families in the 2019-2020 season, and military appreciation game is 11/26 against Pitt this year)... Watsco Kids and Youth Football initiatives to give local kids tickets to men's and women's basketball games and football games... and a bunch of other community projects, local school visits, and initiatives each year.

Yes, the football program itself has been up and down (and over the last two decades, mostly down). A lot of that falls on the current and previous administrations. Some past coaches foolishly burned bridges in the community. And under some staffs the football program itself has done more to give back locally (like under Richt), while under other coaches it has done less (like under Folden).

But again, the university is bigger than the football team. Could the university do more? Sure, you can always do more. But UM does plenty. And it does a metric ****-ton more than 99.99% of the people clamoring about what UM doesn't do for the local community.

Now if people just want to hate on UM because it's a private university instead of a public university, and it sits at the edge of Coral Gables instead of Allapattah? I'm not sure what to say to them. UM can't change that. But maybe they should try rooting for FIU and see if that public university out in west Dade suits them better. I will continue to support this university and football program.
