Yea, you have to think USF is out of it for Brown.

Its amazing to me that Miami can have a bad season, be facing unprecedented NCAA sanctions, have no fan base to speak of....and still out recruit us. Are they still paying kids and buying them prostitutes or something?

Prostitutes? Hey, you should be thanking us for our economic stimulus package. We are able to employ the USF grads somehow.

Oh here come the Canes fans (AKA people who did not graduate from college or have any affiliation what so ever to the University of Miami but feel the need to bash other people's alma maters despite not having one of their own).

Awesome.

You can post on any board. Its up to you whether or not you want other teams fans to see it.

ROTFL. You guys are funny.

20 years ago you didnt have a football team? Who did U root for?

Boom!

Well put Brannen, the amount of dislike for UM is so pitiful.

The fact is USF is still a baby team.

The other fact is they beat UM last year.

Another fact is, they played UM streight up this year until they hurt our QB again.

Another fact is this may be the best year UM will have in a while once they get punished for their cheating, again.

Another fact is, it's sad when people don't know when the party is over.

It's like watching your grandfather going to a hot spot and try to be cool. The whole world is watching, and it's sad.

Correct, that's why you guys don't have the pull yet. UM has more National Championships in the last 30 years than anyone right now. That's most of our lifetime, and a part of these recruits. The desire to put UM back together does not seem to go away.

As far as sanctions, if you look at them objectively, they probably won't be as bad as you or anyone thinks. What's been proven, UM has been punished for so far.

Truth is, if UM and FSU get back to what they were 10 years ago, college football would benefit greatly because of it. It would also mean more for USF when you you guys play us. There isn't much to be upset about, Sam Barrington and Kayvon Webster choose you guys.

30 years is a long time for the facebook generation, read even shorter attention spans than my MTV generation. To be truthful when talking about recruits, and the effect your record has, you probably should look at a much shorter span of perhaps 4-5 years. The time that they are actually getting fully involved in football the time when these kids are actually starting topay attention to the games and the tradition.

Unfortunately for Miami they have started to become less and less relevant especially since they left the Big East. The mighty ACC schedule appears to have been a bit to rough for them.

The funny thing about most Miami fans is that they still hold on to this belief that they are a formidable program. Miami may still get some great recruiting classes but all those classes do is help the argument that stars don't mean all that much in the grand scheme of things. A perfect example would be your #1 rated class of 2008. Your #7 ranked class of 2009. Your #13 ranked class of 2010. Your unranked class of 2011... is there a trend here as well?

Final rankings? 2008 - unranked. 2009 - 15. 2010 - unranked. 2011 - unranked.

For fans that declare themselves a powerhouse, or even a nationally relevant program, thats pretty uninspiring. Miami has a storied history, that much is true, however the present is embarassing to the past.
