Miami will never have a "bag game" for a couple reasons.
1. the City of Miami. the reason why the bag game is so alive and well in SEC country is because many of these schools are located in nothing to do small towns. Football MAKES those areas and football is a RELIGION an OBSESSION and worth creating these "foundations" for. It brings personal happiness to many and becomes the commonly woven fabric that holds those area's societies/ communities together.
2. The culture of south Florida is so anti-Miami its sickening. I've never seen so much hatred for the "hometown" team. not all but many of these street agents, optimist coaches, high school coaches, grandmamas, mamas, and librarian/retired fire fighter fathers are so willing to sell out to the highest SEC bidder for the "come-up".
3. Been there done that. Yeah it was Nevin and yeah it wasn't as organized as the SEC but we had some type of "bag game" and the **** glorified cheerleader/booster went emotionally scarred female on us and ratted everything out when he didn't get his "return investment" from the players.
4. In SEC country boosters end up being not only ALUMNI but local Lawyers, Bankers, Principals, Judges and Plant owners all the way down to "Betty Sue the waitress" and "Bubba the janitor". EVERYBODY and their mama support their "dawgs", "hogs" "roll tide" etc.......
Our best hope would be for us to 1. set up a
"serviceable" foundation secretly funded by Miami NFL players, The Rock, Rick Ross, A-Rod and enthusiastic rich local cane fans that all have unbreakable pride in this U and want to see us win. 2. establish an unspoken code of honor (snitches get stiches). 3. I win the lottery and start the "Orange Sabastian Foundation" myself.
*joking about 1, 2 and 3. kinda
just sick of seeing Miami's return to elite CF being delayed due to a cheating system to poaches our best talent.
