Are you asking me to defend every statement by an ASU fan? I can't do that and wouldn't think you would want to defend some of your fans and their comments. I read our board and yes our fans were upset over the cancellation and the fact that no game has been rescheduled. Think its fair to say that each fan base is bias towards their team and that is to be expected.
In this post, you speak about the final four and your need to schedule for strength of schedule rating. I wasn't aware that UM was thinking final four but if your AD wants to schedule with these issues in mind, that is his decision. However, if that is the fact, why would he choose to schedule lower division FCS teams rather than a stronger, better rated SOS rated FBS team? The fact that the game wasn't played that particular week end is not the major issue with me. Given that it was your team that had to fly and return home with a storm on its way, that was UM's decision and they made it. But your AD should have been immediately prepared to reschedule or pay the damages due under the contract. Frankly, we wouldn't consider damages of $650K that big of a deal if the ball was in our court, why should it be for UM? If it is was impossible not to reschedule until 20/21, so be it but that was not the case, it was simply more convenient for UM to wait.
Are you retarded?
I am not asking you to "defend" every statement made by an ASU fan, I am asking you to ACKNOWLEDGE that many ASU fans made the statements that I described, and that is why Miami fans (a) don't want our AD to give ASU a dime, and (b) don't want to play ASU for several years.
Do you understand the words coming out of my mouth?
Don't give me a bunch of mealy-mouthed crapola about how "upset" your fans were. People in South Florida lost HOMES. People in South Florida lost LOVED ONES. And yet your horrendous fanbase is complaining about a cancelled football game and a bunch of non-existent "economic impact".
"You weren't aware that Miami was thinking Final Four"? Are you fvck!ing joking? Miami has FIVE national championships. We were ranked in the Top Four at one point last year. We are OBVIOUSLY thinking about the College Football Playoffs. What do you think goes on at a university that is COLLEGE FOOTBALL ROYALTY (I'm quoting a sportswriter, not myself, with that description)? Of course we have to be concerned with Strength of Schedule. That's how the best Power Five programs are constructed and organized.
Look, genius, I've had just about enough of your FAKE (yes I called it fake) "aw shucks" routine and your ongoing choice to ignore the very real-life human concerns that people in the entire state of Florida live with on a daily basis. We face hurricanes, rainstorms, flooding, rising sea levels. Yes, it is all real, and it causes substantial property damage and loss of life. I'm sorry that you can't, and more importantly, WON'T acknowledge these very real concerns.
I don't give a **** about WWASUD (what would ASU do) in a similar situation. I don't care if you would pay the $650K, I don't care if you would reschedule immediately. You want to brag about ASU "never failing to comply with a contract", but you ignore the fact that Miami IS TRYING TO PLAY A GAME IN GODAWFUL JONESBORO ARKANSAS. The only thing preventing us from honoring our end of the contract is a ****y-crybaby routine by your AD (and fans) that are trying to make an issue out of a non-issue (2020/2021 vs. 2024/2025).
Literally, that is the truth. If Miami was truly "afraid" to play ASU or we didn't like your rinky-dink stadium, we would have never made the offer to play in 2024/2025. We certainly would not have made such an offer publicly.
But noooooo. Your AD (and fans) are going to continue to whine over every perceived slight, every tiny indication that (yes, Virginia) our programs are NOT EQUAL and (yes, Virginia) Miami does have superior leverage.
So if you want to prove that you have those tiny inbred Arkansas ********s, then STFU and accept a return game in 2024/2025.
Because every other bleat that comes out of your collective mouths is GARBAGE. It's more excuse-making and myth-building.
If you want to play us, then play us. Don't keep whining about your 30 pieces of silver. You want your "economic impact", you are going to have to endure a 222-0 beatdown in front of your horrified fanbase. You are going to have to watch our defense put their arms up your collective ****** while they pull out your collective still-beating heart.
Other than that, shut your trap and leave our board.
