I lived in Miami for three years around the turn of the century

That was back when Miami was at the peak of their football "backness." They won their last national championship around that time. I walked into bars all over the city, and never saw a Cane fan watching a game. I saw fans from almost every other P5 fanbase east of the Mississippi, and several from the other side, but no Canes. They can't fill their own stadium, send maybe 100 fans to road games, and people think they are a great program to add? They are a great example of a "smoke and mirrors" program built on hookers and blow...lol

Anyone in South Florida will pump sunshine about the U all day and night

Amen. They’ve been living on reputation for 20 years. Nothing more.**
BNOMO • 07/06/22 10:01 AM ET
Sec and Miami aren’t a match for sure. There’s no pro stadiums in SEC
3TechFanz • 07/06/22 06:50 AM ET
Plus, the U being a small private school is not a fit**

jesuisvtguy • 07/07/22 01:01 PM ET
Weak schedule and bad team lead to those numbers...
Old Line Hokie • 07/06/22 10:02 AM ET
I did, they were 35 last year, far from crushing it 🔗**
