The Pilot is in full F-16 mode.
I just do not understand it, man.
FSPoo is (or, at least they were) our biggest rival school. With one month left in the year, Forfeit State is having perhaps the worst year in the history of that program. They paid a lot of money to replace their African-American head football coach with a white disciplinarian from a G-5 school who used to sport corn rows but now doesn't allow headphones or jewelry to be worn into his locker room. This same coach actively decided to de-prioritize South Florida recruiting.
Meanwhile, the athletic department is reportedly struggling to make ends meet following several years of lowered attendance, paying an absurd buyout to Fast Willie, and struggling through even lower attendance in light of covid-19. Before a single game was even played, their new HC was under fire for mischaracterizing purported conversations with his players on racial inequality in America that his star defensive lineman (along with other players) publicly claimed never happened.
Once the games started getting played, it didn't get much better. FSPoo has consistently looked disjointed and horrible. Even the game against UNC was more about how UNC shot themselves in the foot repeatedly for the first half (and they nearly took the game in the second half). They cancel a game against Clem$on that they very clearly did not want to play hours before kickoff. The next week, they cancel another game against UVag hours before kickoff. And it appears yesterday they cancelled their game against Duke (at least they gave their opponent proper notice on that one). Throughout it all, multiple players have either been dismissed from the team, transferred, or opted out of the year (some of them mid-season).
FSPoo is not a burning dumpster fire, it's run-down, leaking nuclear waste facility buried under six feet of diseased elephant ****. And while UM fans around the globe are rightfully celebrating the public embarrassment that is Forfeit State University, we have people defending them by trying to equivocate what that lame program has done with what UM has done in response to covid-19 this season, we have people fact checking smack talk, and we even have a pastor preaching the perils of bearing false witness against FSPoo/Norvell, generally (though, as far as I can tell, the most compelling evidence of anyone lying before the Almighty would be of Norvell himself, when he reportedly lied to the media about meeting with his team to facilitate an open dialogue on racial injustice in America... which Marvin Wilson very publicly said did not happen).
I can understand
@Number1CanesFan missing the forest for the trees a little bit (at least as far as the thread was concerned) and going off on the covid-19 angle because at the end of the day our public health is more important than any football game, but the rest is just baffling behavior for anyone who purports to love this U like we do.
