My fiancee (who I've been dating since high school) graduated from Miami, and I went to a game with her once (2010, aka "Logan's 3rd and 16"). I thought the students actually had a fairly decent turnout and had a somewhat spirited student section, considering that they only have about 10k undergrads.

Their main problem is the local alumni, or possibly lack thereof. They have a lot of students that come down to Florida for school and then leave upon graduation, and I think they've come to rely on local non-alumni support at the games, which doesn't fly when you're not one of the 10 most exciting things going on during the weekend.

I just deleted my subscription to Techsideline. I got so sick of all the negativity. I am excited about being a member on here!

Easy for the Florida one. It's the least southern, southern state.

Yea, I missed that part in my above response. An instate student athlete is getting the equivalent of ~$20k/year pay.

For clarification (since this is apparently necessary), a slave is someone who is forced to work without pay. An amatuer (from a legal standpoint) is an apprentice; someone who works in order to gain experience rather than cash.

This contrast is exemplified in the movie Django Unchained, where Django is at first an unhappy slave, but later travels America on a minimal stipend, while practicing his craft. Django the apprentice is far happier than Django the slave.

In all seriousness, one can reasonably argue that amatuer athletes deserve the ability to pursue options on the free market, or even deserve a paycheck. One cannot reasonably compare an amatuer to a slave. Between travel, free college, free clothes, etc, these kids are given great opportunities .

He was the man, big part of why I love the Braves. Johnson was good last year, but I have doubts about him doing that consistently in the future.

he put pressure on the pocket but struggled to get off the block and get to the QB

Was always the most frustrating part about Gayle. Great motor, great character guy, great athlete... Just never seemed to develop a great move to defeat a blocker one on one consistently.

It's the internet. Nobody gets jokes on the internet. Good thing Don Rickles got famous in the sixties instead of the nineties or they would've tried him for war crimes.
