Always allow the judicial process to do its role before condeming anyone!

What B.S. - Miami is "sucking it up" because they finished 7-6 against real teams yet FIU is "planting their flag in the nation's college-football-watching psyche" because they finished 7-6 against JuCo ones?

Keep dreaming,
It's all about the direction the program is headed towards. 12 years ago 7-6 would be a disaster for Miami and fans would have burned the stadium in anger. Now it's: "well at least it’s against real teams" (although no one would mistake the ACC for real competition). Keep the same lackadaisical attitude towards us while we sneak up on you. I love it

There's no sneaking up, believe me, if FIU ever has a respectable team the city of Miami will take notice.
Of course as far as Miami football fans go the only respectable teams are ones competing for National Championships.

I just saw Justin @ Club Space trolling. Adam, he must have been abducted by aliens or still looking for a glory hole.

When he was accused of rape back in December, it was front page on the herald website. The charges are dropped, not even front page of the sports section. The MH is biased against FIU
Also, when the hell is there going to be an article about FIU, about anything???

There are tumbleweeds blowing through this blog. A faint heartbeat can be heard if you listen closely. The Miami Herald is dying a slow, painful death.
