Our game day experience is as good as anywhere in the country when the team is rolling. ND players said it was the most raucous place they've ever played at.
The VT and ND games were a sampling of what our home field will be when we start winning consistently and competing for championships. We will do that when the local kids like Surtain and Campbell decide to put on for their city and not some flimsy redneck KKK town in the middle of nowhere where they'll never stay.
I wonder how that "gameday experience" and town love affair was at UiF this year? Funny how we get judged on that front by previous bad years/stretches and everyone else gets judged by their previous good years or best stretches-- especially in the conference where "it just means more".
Exactly. Did you see the gameday experience toward the end of the season in Tallahachee? It looked like our gameday experience when Folden was here.
These dudes need to have some local pride and build something HERE instead of tap dancing for the KKK. Be like Mel Bratton and Alonzo Highsmith and those dudes when they decided that they wanted to make their hometown team the best in the country. Those dudes could have gone anywhere, and UM hadn't won anything when they signed here. They came here on blind faith and with the idea of making a difference and putting on for their city. It worked out beautifully. And those dudes will always be local heroes.
Bennie Blades is another guy who could have gone anywhere. He stayed home. He's had his struggles after his playing days ended, but I'll tell you this: If I or any other local real Canes can ever lend a helping hand to him, we will.
When a piece of excrement like Phony Michel inevitably returns to South Florida and needs work or something else, I'd kick his *** out the door on a rail. I'd do anything legally within my power to make sure guys like him and Kaindoh's Kuck get shunned and blackballed. We need to instill some local pride one way or another.
