It’s the only thing they’ve ever had to recruit against us. It became more and more of an issue when the losses started. It became and even bigger issue when saban started the arms race with the facilities.

Miami was never a place to come for the traditional college experience. It was a place where you made your name on the field competing against the hardest working kids. It was place where you made a business decision. A business decision based on competing winning and going to the nfl. Do you think anyone that was recruited by um in 99-2002 gave a crap about 90k fans against mcnee state?
Do you think they gave a crap about an on campus stadium.

It’s a different time now I know but Miami has enough juice on campus and at hardrock that if you win no one will give a fck about a nicer place to store your pads or 50k for famu.
Why give a fck about that when your smacking top 10 teams across the face. And now more than ever with the population boom in sofla and the new stadium I guarantee attendance is the last thing we have to worry about if we’re winning

The attendance is also a tired narrative when articles like this come out:

LOOK: The Swamp embarrassingly empty minutes prior to Florida kickoff vs. Colorado State

Not a good look for the Gators.

Yep. One of my best friends at UM Law was half-Irish, half-Cuban. He DEFINITELY got all-Irish DNA on the physical appearance. I used to love watching the reactions when someone would say something about Hispanic people and he would respond in perfect Spanish. At the same time, another great friend from law school was 100% Italian, and it was funny to watch people react when they tried to talk to her in Spanish, they just thought she was some kind of Cuban sellout.

People need to be careful with assumptions based on appearance.

My best friend from law school, and still, is half Cuban and half Persian. That's two volatile cultures to procreate and he doesn't disappoint. My favorite UF memory with him was actually leaving the game in 08. This extremely overweight Gator fan in overalls was yelling at Miami fans "sucks to be you" while throwing up the downwards U. My friend deadpan without missing a step looks him in the eye and responds with "look who's talking, diabetes." Never seen a soul leave a body so quick in my life.

All true. I grew up on the Beach and went away to school for the see the world experience but I went to school in DC.

I’m pretty sure that the guy that made the statement about Miami and Atlanta is from Ocala, IIRC. When he said what he said, I thought the same thing you did.

Years ago my father had some land in some central Florida towns like Ocala and he was dealing with a buyer. Not knowing that my father’s ******, the guy asked: “How the **** do you live in Miami? Down there you’ve got nothing but Blacks, Cubans and Jews.”

When people like this say or think something about 1 minority group or ethnicity, no one should think they don’t say or think badly about others, like yours and mine, when they’re with their friends.

Horrible losses for us last year. Yet here we are about to pass them on the trail. They’ve won 2 NY6 bowl games in a row and we’ve gone 7-6 & 6-7. They should be destroying us in recruiting. What happens if we win more and they win less?

If Manny can just win ten* games (with this new schedule something like 8-1 if we play nine or whatnot), they will be big mad.

Outside of racism, it's just fear of the unfamiliar. Every place has areas to avoid. It's the fear of not knowing where those area that get people to rationalize not going there.

I’d love it if he decided to bypass the gaytors and pick someone else. Unfortunately this gives them cover on a Palmetto whiff and adds a highly ranked player to their class. Is what it is. We got Kam and JW who I assume were our top 2 targets. Can’t take every one. It’s a great problem to have.

It’s in VIP so I can’t see it but I wonder if they think they beat out us and LSU for Collier and if they now think this means they’re getting Taylor and/or Marshall?

Believe's they get Collier with LSU in the second position. Miami trailing. No info on the reasoning other than stating "based on lastest intel gathered" without describing what the intel is.
