I want the Patriots to lose: Reason 3

I lived in New England for 6 years of my life. As a life-long Miami Dolphins fan I used to get an ear full from the most obnoxious loud mouthed fans ever. The only thing I can compare Patriot's fans to are University of Florida Gators fans. Just over the top, can do no wrong obnoxious. I will never forget the heck I got in 1986 when New England beat Miami in the AFC Championship. I have never lived it down.

The Patriots and the Gators do have a lot in common...They both win A LOT and they both Win Championships! I'm happy to be lumped in with the rest of the obnoxious, winning fans out there.

I think though that it has been awhile since the Canes and Fins have been winners. The only thing worse than obnoxious fans are poor losers, demonstrated so eloquently by you a true Canes fan. Remember that the sky is blue and the sun is orange so God must be a Gator, watch your words!

The "stop living in the past" mechanism is a great one used by people who are jealous of the great history at UM. If you guys actually had that many championships you would brag about them too...

ooh, yes such a controversy. Bad Urban, he called a recruit who already had committed and spoke to his girlfriend who happened to answer the phone instead of hanging up on her! my, my..he really breaks those rules, I mean that is up there on violations. I mean it is just as bad as messing with Pell Grants...and the last time I checked 4 is less than 5.

Isn't talking about violations that happened in the 1990's considered "living in the past?"

we could talk about the present accomplishments of the canes but unfortunately it would be a very short conversation. We could however talk about UFs three SEC and two national championships in basketball and SEC and national championship and heisman trophy and three striaght top two recruiting classes in football. Or if you want to talk about the future let's discuss how we think the candy canes will fair when they come to the SWAMP this season.

Its big talk for a team that hasnt beaten Miami since, what is it, um 23 years. Thats what I thought. never mind Florida took Miami off the schedule in 89. Pathetic.
