Fins to honor 09 Gators title team?

[CANDolphan]

Nope. A decade of boring irrelevance and Dolphins attendance is still nowhere near the worst. Also, UM is a private school with a stadium that is an hour off campus and has a student body that is a fraction of other top 25 teams. Even with those factors and that they've been a terrible team the last few years, their attendance always ranks in the top half of Division I. They pull in 5 times their student body. UF and FSU have triple the students, close proximity to their stadiums, and no competing entertainment. It's sort of hilarious to see someone living in Jacksonville insult Miami for not supporting their teams..

I'm originally from South Florida, I moved up here for work. Now, this may be a foreign concept to you, but work is what you do when you want to get out of a ****ty area and make money in order to sustain a better being for yourself and loved ones. I plan on moving back to Jupiter when I can, but for the time being, there aren't many corporate attorney gigs down there so I have to make do :)

Dolphins attendance is still nowhere near the worst? Where are you getting that, because we are ranked 16th in the NFL in attendance, both in numbers and % of stadium seated per game? There are hidden numbers you have to look into... including the stupid crap you just spouted about Jacksonville (assuming about the Jaguars)

Did you know that Jacksonville sold out more games than Miami last season? Did you know that Miami has some of the cheapest tickets in the nfl in terms of features games? Did you know that within their own territory, Jacksonville has more televisions tuned to the jaguars game per household than all but TWO NFL teams? (Green Bay and New England). That's pretty damn good for a team with the label of having ****ty attendance.

There's a reason the ONE time Miami made the playoffs in the last SEVEN years, we still weren't sold out. I'm not blaming Miami for having bad attendance - they are a private school. That's true. No question about it. But you can't have your cake and eat it too. One moment, you're blabbing about how the Canes' faithful are going to come out in ferocious numbers and boo the Gators in that stadium, then the next you're trying to explain why they are one of the worst teams in home field attendance. But wait, tell me again that it's because people in Miami have better things to do than support their university?

But continue spouting ignorant bull****, it reminds me of home! I love the Dolphins with all my heart, I had someone I consider family PLAY for the Dolphins for multiple years, and I'm real enough to know that attendance for the Dolphins somewhat sucks, because we have a pretty bandwagon fanbase. Is it because there is so much to do in Miami? Perhaps, I like to think that's a reason, but I think a larger reason are the transplants. That doesn't explain the bandwagon U guys that spout off (ignorant) nonsense for the most part, all while never even being a part of the university. Hell, I did a year at University of Miami Law School... I have more of a connection to the school than a large majority of the U fans on this board and in person, but even I don't make up ridiculous excuses for them.

I can't believe that Dolphin fans are talking **** about the Hurricanes attendance in this thread.

What up pot, I'm the ****ing kettle.

That was totally insane. Take a deep breath, bro.

 

[fishfanmiami]

Maybe the Canes could honor the Jets superbowl team and have Joe Willy give the speech. Same thing .

And get off the Canes dude. Florida has had thier share of problems and violations.

Bad idea. PERIOD

CHOMP CHOMP!! Go Gators! The state of Florida has had two major black eyes caused by USC East (Miami) and Free Shoes U. The 09' Gators team was one of the better teams in recent history. I dont see why all you Cane homers are getting your panties in a bunch? If you guys had a worthy team, Im sure theyd be honored as well. Too bad most player that go to UM are there strictly for the NFL hype. Selfish players for the most part. Where as UF has a ton of players who play multiple positions that keep them from the lime light. Hell The QB is now a TE, you think Jacory Harris would ever agree to play TE.....yea me either. Go Gators!

You do realize Florida has had 35 arrests the last 5 years correct? If the NCAA had a clue, Florida would be charged with Lack of Institutional Control. And outside of that dump Gainesville, nobody cares about Florida, especially in Miami.

 

[DearbornDolfan]

Speaking as a Kansas State football fan, I could care less. Actually, strike that, I'm all for it since it's causing the local fans such angst.

 

[Dolphins7273]

I don't really care for college football, but for some reason I hold the Gators in the same regard as the Jets.

 

[CANDolphan]

That was totally insane. Take a deep breath, bro.

What a surprise, when faced with facts you shut up immediately and crawl into your "lol u mad" hole. I had zero doubt that you would have absolutely nothing constructive to say after (or even before) my response, so thanks for coming through. Let the big boys talk now, you go outside and play.

This is ridiculous because Georgia has more arrests than UF, and they are well within the average of a top quality program. Look at us (Florida State) when we were a top quality program... you had arrests out the ***. Hell, even when we were mediocre we still had that big cheating scandal where TAS WERE TAKING TESTS FOR ATHLETES!

That isn't to say that gator fan up on this page isn't a complete idiot feeding into the ****ty stereotype. If you think people don't care about Florida outside of Gainesville you're absolutely insane. They are far more popular than "Da U" or FSU right now simply because of the goddamn bandwagon surrounding multiple championships and Tebowmania. There's a reason their merchandise is in the top 5 of NCAA sales... morons like the guy above buy Tebow jerseys and then start spouting off ridiculous **** about how Miami players are all about the limelight. Yeah man certainly nothing prima donna about your 5 star recruits threatening to transfer because they aren't getting enough respect the moment they step on campus!

If the Hurricanes are all about themselves what the hell are Ronald Powell and that other DT who was threatening to transfer? That type of **** makes Terrell Owens seem down to earth

Respond to facts? I don't really give a **** that you're having trouble finding work as a corporate attorney or dream of moving to Jupiter. Later you reject obvious, factual numbers that discredit your claims to try to massage "hidden numbers" into justifying your incorrect point. Then you misquote me several times. Finally, you finish on one of your many strange tangents interspersed with some random insults. I don't know how to say this politely, but you come off as a confrontational crazy person. I don't see anything to gain from engaging in what you seem to consider debating, when more accurately it's just foaming at the mouth.

Again, nobody gives a **** about the Gators outside of the Gainesville/Jacksonville area. And really I don't care how many arrests Georgia has had since we're talking about Florida. Just pointing out how much of an idiot this guy is if he thinks Florida is somehow above the other 2 schools because of "black eyes" when his school has players beating the **** out of people in nightclubs, then firing AK47's at the person, and then being allowed back on the team. Complete hypocrite. Even worse is the guy puts Florida on a pedestal for players playing several positions, and says players go to Miami for the NFL hype. First of all, every team has players switch positions. 2nd, it's not hype, it's reality. 3rd, that's a ridiculous statement with no truth to it, that Miami players are all for themselves.

Gator fans are the worst. A few good years and now they're the greatest, when they'll most likely be reverting back to 3rd in state with Muschamp.

So, yea, just pointing out the hypocrisy.

Lol, yes. Quoting blind statistics (which you actually never even quoted... I gave them to you) and then giving you the correct information is "foaming at the mouth". But wait! Jacksonville has poor support for the Jaguars, right!? LOL! Got me there! (except the facts state differently but hey whatever) If anything, you presented absolutely zero "facts" to the discussion, just a condescending tone. (If anything, stupid little ignorant quips like that are confrontational more so than anything I posted... but I digress.)

Regardless, If arguing back with facts is "confrontational" I'd hate to see you in a business transaction. You'd probably whine about being picked on or something... Between the straw man argument and now the ad hominem attack, I'm just waiting for you to question my loyalty to the Dolphins at this point to complete the "****ty argument" trifecta.

But please, just continue to read anything that breaks down your "facts" and pass it off as someone over-reacting and "foaming at the mouth". Hell, the info about being in Jacksonville for work was merely a response to your little attack about me not living in South Florida

I have a lot of respect for Muschamp, but you're right. I actually didn't see him giving Miami/FSU **** about Florida being SO CLEAN when in reality you'd be ignorant to say that Florida isn't doing the exact same thing everyone else is doing.

But hey that's what we get for trying to discuss college football with a bandwagon Gator, right?

 

[BARF]

i hate the gators quite possibly the same as the jets, maybe even more, i can't believe the fins are doing this, BUT if it takes this to sell out the stadium and to broadcast the game on tv i am all for it. looking at it from a business stand point i completely understand, milk the cash cow machine, in this case tebow. and i am a die hard canes and fins fan, more canes than fins.
