Some of you guys are so negative, I legitimately feel bad for you. I don't know how you go through life that way.

Relax. You live in a beautiful city. Go to the beach. Watch the World Cup. Have a cerveza and a rack of ribs. Give it a rest until football season starts.

I like college football as much as the next guy, but put it in to perspective. Outside a couple states in the south, nobody in the country or around the world gives a single **** about our unpaid 18-22 year old semi-pro football league.

You ever wonder why the best team in our sport is in a hokie, backwater town like Tuscaloosa Alabama and not a major city? That's why. Because nobody in the real world, in places like London, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, gives a single flying **** about college kids playing football.

So take it for what it is. A nice hobby or side-interest. Don't get so ****ing invested and emotional to where it drags you down. Some of you get so worked up and stressed about the minutia surrounding our little school team it's difficult to understand.

How do you reconcile your claim that "the best team in our sport is in a hokie, backwater town like Tuscaloosa Alabama and not a major city [because] nobody in the real world [ie big cities] gives a single flying **** about college kids playing football" with the fact that teams from major cities have also dominated CFB, despite supposedly no one in those cities caring about the team's success?

The success of UM in the 80s, early 90s, and early 2000s followed by USC's run obliterate your mindless theory that a team cannot be the best unless they are from a backwater town.

Having great fan support is not the only factor that goes in to being a successful football program, if success is measured by wins on the field. Miami won in spite of terrible fan support for many years. Thought you would've known that.

So you agree that your original statement was wildly inaccurate.

And apparently you're done with that supposed empathy thing from the original post.

Ibisrules called me a computer geek, which for someone my age is a compliment. I didn't grow up with computers like most of you did. My guess is he's a virgin. Young women want young men who have a little bit of money in their pockets.

There's only two ways to get paid in this world.... you can get paid for entertaining people (athlete, musician), or you can get paid for being smart. This guy isn't entertaining, has too much free time to be an athlete, and seems to think being smart is something to look down upon.

So he can go back to his $7.50 / hr job. And good riddance.
 
If the shoe fits wear it and wear it well. If I were to come to ur old folks home and kick over ur checker board and have my way with ur flabby a$$ed wife you would call me a thug huh?

hey here's an idea...let's all sit around the campfire and sing "kumbayah my Lord" and in doing so the program will reconstitute itself and be badas$$ again.
 
Three posts in a row... you're mad. Don't get mad. Go read a book, young man. Any book, doesn't matter, just one without any pictures in it.
 
who's mad old dude? All i'm saying is if you are not passionate about the state of this program (up or down), then perhaps you can go ride Bamas band wagon or something. I am PASSIONATE about my Miami Hurricanes and have been so since 1981.
 
just like i'm passionate about the state of our military....I served in war and so it makes me feel a certain way to see our Gov't **** on veterans that put their lives on the line.

if I say that our defense has been bad, i'm not being negative. I am pointing out the facts.

No, you would be being captain obvious.

However if you say we have no hope of the defense improving despite many indicators that say otherwise than you're being negative.
 
Oldman, I'm sure you probably already realize this but trying to reason with these entitled narcissistic generation me me me types who can't put things in proper perspective is a lost cause.
They're mostly the weak minded types who's self worth is tied the success of their favorite sports team. Probably why they became Canes fans to begin with and now when things haven't been going so well can't deal with feeling worthless since they probably don't have many positives to draw from.

**** your conformity. Because I like college football and most people like pros I should reevaluate my priorities? You seem really concerned with what other people think. How about you get a mind of your own, stop caring if other people get worked up about stuff they like, and Stop caring about liking **** just cause other people do.

Baby Boomers are the drunken architects of our current political and economic landscape. Maybe you're a Baby Boomer, maybe you're not. But if you are, keep your generational analysis to yourself.
 
What makes me laugh is most of the people who are negative here are negative towards the coaching staff, you know, the guys who do get paid. What's worse is that because the majority of others view other things strongly, that people who are passionate about college football should not be. Who are you to tell people what they should and should not be passionate about. If someone is passionate about anything that the majority is not, they should just stop? You know, there are a lot of people in this world who feel that exact same way about anyone who is passionate about sports in general, professional or not. To them its just a game and they have no interest at all. Should I not care about sports anymore, because they said so?
