MiamiNed

I can't believe you would stop by just to start fights. Wait, you are a Miami fan, I stand corrected. Poor assumption. You have no idea why I stopped by here. What you now know is that when I got here and saw the stupidity being posted, I absolutely stepped in to defend my university. But with the lack of pride you people have in your....."school", you wouldn't understand that.

Our students finish in the top 5% of their senior classes. They aren't your students. Don't try to drag them into this. Maybe you should checkup on the actual stats for our students.... it's not like we're UCF here... we have a pretty **** good research and medical campus along with all of our other schools. You can't just say... Oh I think I'll go to USF... You and UCF are tied at #170, FYI.

It's true though.

Compared to Miami ... yes ... yes we are. And pretty much every other college football team. Cool. You can congratulate yourselves on that on the way out while we stay for the second half.

those will be the people that show up in miami gear this weekend Well, many of the people showing up in Miami gear will be USF students, so maybe we're talking about the same people.

http://www.tboblogs.com/index.php/sports/comments/ku-fans-decry-abusive-treatment-from-usf-fans/ LOL. Reading apparently isn't your strong suit - this has NOTHING to do with the student section. This is about a couple random incidents, stuff that every school deals with - some A LOT more than others, mind you *hint hint* ... Plus the author of that blog report had a huge ax to grind with USF so that's not really a very impartial article. It's really making a big deal out of a very small one. A couple of random incidents, which is why it made the news and caused opposing fans to contact the university. Got it. You guys are angels.

As expected. You don't get articles like that written because of the antics of 20 people.

Really? That's it? BECAUSE WE DON'T LIKE YOU.... NOBODY LIKES YOU. I've closely followed college football for over 30 years... I'm no expert but I'm pretty educated. I don't know of a single fanbase that likes or respects UM's fanbase. This isn't just a USF thing... it's a country wide thing. Your fanbase have acted like jackholes for the better part of 3 decades.... Sorry about your luck. Oh, I don't care if you don't like us. People don't hate losing programs. And since when do you guys have a respected fan base? Your student body......when you had that good season.......has quite the reputation. Just imagine if you guys did it more often. What in God's creation are you talking about? Um, your post was a rant about how no one likes us. I responded by telling you that I don't care, and that your students made asses of themselves when they actually showed up that time. Hope this helps.

Cool. Once you start making fun of a guy's dead father, you really show your character. You guys must be proud. Didn't know it was going to this level.

I am absolutely being a *****, and it is in direct response to the trash your fans have posted. When I came here I expected to see at least a little bit of football discussion. Nope, it's a bunch of freaking USF fans trashing my university. Apopka, Florida. Warren? Is that you? Missed him by three years. Piece of crap. Not proud of him.

I'm sorry... I missed where the only upper deck that has been open since 2007 was closed.... could you point that out? I'd love that because it would help fill the lower bowl and give a better atmosphere. Patiently waiting.... Semantics. You have filled the place, but choose to not open the whole stadium because of a lack of interest. If the 67K who showed up for WVU weren't bandwagon fans, you would sell tickets in the whole place. That was one game and it was the only sell out we've ever had in our history. Under normal situations the east 300's are maybe half full plus 3 sections for the students.... the west 300's are only usually open if UM, FSU, UCF or a top 10 ranked team are in town (See Kansas 2008)... outside of that the west 3rd level is never open. Maybe you should dial back your expectations for a 15yr old program? Your 15 year old program is tied to 300,000 alumni and students. WHO GREW UP UF, FSU AND UM FANS...... MY GOD MAN ARE YOU REALLY THAT DENSE??? It's only been 15 years since we were in trailers... it takes decades to build a fanbase. I'm trying to have a logical debate with you but if you're not going to acknowledge the background to the situation then what the hell is the point. Then why wouldn't you people show a modicum of humility and stop trashing a small private university that would need 30 years worth of graduating classes to fill the stadium one time?

No, my dad was a white guy who worked for the phone company. Passed a few years ago. But thanks anyway.

You keep trying to say that UM is on a different level than USF but then come back and want to compare attendance. If we're so much lower than your high and mighty Canes why should we have comparable attendance? Because you only want alums and students to attend, and you have 300,000 compared to our 90,000. You're missing the point.... which was that your non alum fanbase are usually 80 - 85% uneducated drunk idiots who more often than not forget to bathe on a consistent basis. No one with more than two brain cells (we have our idiots too <Cough> Bubba <cough>) is saying you can't or shouldn't have a non alum fanbase.... it's the conduct and hygene habits of that fanbase that get UM into trouble... also the fact that they like to dress as orange seats when your team isn't winning. Look... USF got royally screwed by Skippy in so many ways that we're still just figuring it all out. That said we've been playing football for less than 20 years so we haven't had the chance to build a solid base yet. We're competing with decades of kids growing up FSU, UF or UM fans... it takes time. Good, we got your excuses out of the way. Now, are you able to comprehend that we are a small private school that draws more than half of our student body from outside of Florida? So we have 10,000 undergrads, 6,000 of who have no family within a minimum of a ten hour drive. And because those students come from outside Florida, many of them leave Florida when they graduate. Of our 80,000 living alumni, more than 40,000 of them live somewhere other than Florida. Yet you guys want us to fill 73,000 seats and only have a few non-alum fans walking around. SMH.

So in one post we're just a bunch of bandwagon fans, then in another post we don't even show up when we win championships. Got it. Kinda similar to USF filling the place in 2007, then closing upper decks six years later. Pot, meet kettle.

Any response to my earlier questions about those 33,000 missing fans? Since, you know, USF fans aren't bandwagoners and all.

Really? Now list USF's attendance, along with the number of alumni and students. Can't believe you people would bring up this topic.

Yeah, they handed us the game. Keep believing that. Don't get run over by the stampede to the exits at halftime.

Thanks for the heartfelt response, Brown. I can see that this has become personal for you. Good luck on Saturday.
