ESPN's Paul Finebaum says the Hurricanes are frauds — again.

[CANESCANES]

"When you have one of the best quarterbacks and one of the best players in the country, you have to deliver. And the Miami Hurricanes always fail to do that.”

 

[WeBallinBoyz]

…is he wrong here?

And as you can see in my avatar, I am not the biggest Finebaum fan.

[Tinman64]

Yup

 

[Jonnyblaze]

We all knew that was coming.

 

[aleahy]

He’s going to be pushing hard to get a 4th SEC team in the tournament.

 

[Babscanes]

He’s a moron who slurps for Bama and the Sec. but he’s also not wrong in this.

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

That’s putting it lightly

 

[QuattroCane]

His statement is to pump up the SEC, but also purely conjuncture.
Miami lost two road games vs conference opponents that are pretty good teams.

 

[major kong]

He's an old unreconstructed bigot. Miami is everything he hates.

 

[Canes2523]

I mean he's not wrong in his assessment. It's 20+ yrs of this team to not show up when it matters most. Yes we did better in the win column so sure that's progress. Let's not forget we needed absolute miracles for 2 games. We need to step up plain and simple.

 

[TheATLCane]

Bama lost to OU
Ole Miss lost to UF

Paul has his work cut out for him

 

[ADELPHI]

He has an agenda to advance

 

[Miami04]

He’s not wrong. 20 years in the conf and one ACC title game appearance.

SMU is 1 for 1.

 

[Canegetright]

Ladies and gentlemen nothing has changed we're Bill Murray in Groundhog Day.

 

[CaneDawgCrew]

He may be correct but just don’t like intellectual dishonesty.

There are so many frauds this year. No really dominant teams. Oregon beat Idaho by what 10?

Alabama had better wins and we had better losses (on the road too). Noticed how they don’t bring up a ****** ACC school almost beating my Alma Mater Georgia in Georgia? Maybe ACC not so bad?

Should we make it? Maybe but if not it’s understandable.

You can hate Finebaum all you want, and most do. But you can't be upset when you handed him proof to push his narrative.

If Miami stomped the life out of every opponent other than these 2 losses, the debate might be different, especially after the UGA/GT game. But most Miami haters already considered the VT game a loss with the hail mary debate. The Cal game easily could have been a loss. So the narrative coming into Syracuse was this team winning on luck and smoke/mirrors more than talent, so losing in that fashion, with poor defense once again and blowing a 21-point lead, gives these guys all they needed for clickbait and views.

So many fans enjoy the "us vs the world" mentality......until it works against you. You can't have it both ways.

Finebaum and Dinich share the bukkake backroom at SEC Media Day.

 

[Ryanmilli]

Finebaum’s a dinosaur SEC hack who would have all but 2 of the at-large spots going to SEC teams if he had his way. His hot takes are the same every week—righteous indignation about teams that are in ahead of mediocre SEC teams. He doesn’t even think IU should be in—called it a travesty or something similar.

 

[OldhamA]

Paul Finebaum looks like a circumcised *****.
