I used to take this **** personally.
But there's no shame in admitting it. More or less, he's right.
Sure, you can add some more context like that Miami is a small private school in an affluent suburb of Miami with approximately 10,000 undergraduates. And that this bandwagon concept is true for all Miami teams. But still, he's right: The City of Miami offers so much else to do that the team, the product, the show must be good, it must be fun. It's got to get the people going.
You and me will sit in the scorching hot sun to watch our team go 6-6. Almost nobody else will. Those slackjawed snaggletooths in Tuscaloosa have nothing better to do, Miamians do.
But when we're winning, when we're hot, the city pays attention. The product's good. They show up. And because the City of Miami is ****, and because the Canes infused panache into the college game, and because we've got the best color combination in sports, and because we've won five national championships, and because we produced Michael Irvin and Ray Lewis and all the GOATs, and because we talk good ****, everybody in the country comes running.
