Fleming still strong with Miami, focused on winning states

[BrentIsACuckGBRsucks]

Lived in PA and now I. Ohio and it's called States

No mercy till Hershey

Been confused as to why y'all call it "states" down here as long as I've followed Miami football lol. That's definitely a Florida thing.

Same. You are playing for the championship of one state, not two. Just like when some say “ my moms “ like they have more than one. Whatever. Good luck to the young man in winning states.

Don’t assume their fathers gender identity.

Yup, they sure do over on the KCMO side.

His acceleration is off the charts. When I watched his highlights I was thinking Santana Moss as well.

Hopefully so, but something tells me he could flip.

[skeeter]

I'm from Cincinnati and we never called it "states". I'm just talking about people calling it State versus states.

What do you call it?

State?

 

[AllAboutTheU]

What do you call it?

State?

We'd say that we're going to State, not "States".

 

[can4life]

He seems like an easy going kid. He will fit in well at the U.

 

[canenok]

Semantics. But apparently from some of the replies definitely not just a Florida thing.

In that context you’re correct. But in Fleming’s context state’s is indicative of multiple games to win the title, not multiple states. State’s not being a singular event. It’s all about context. Writer could’ve helped out by using State’s in stead of states. But it’s trivial to say the least.
Also here’s an example of similar terminology. An athlete stating they’re aiming for World’s in their bid for the World championship. There’s only one world to which we compete.
