Louisville should have been in the Big 12.
I think they make just as much(if not more) sense in the ACC, which is a better geographic fit, better for basketball and as long as Clemson and FSU stay "up" and any mix of Miami/UNC/GT/VT can play close fo their potential, I'm not sure there's a tremendous difference in football.

Fire everyone. This is a disgrace to our wonderful university. I'm tired of seeing our great school become a laughing stock. The offense has literally scored negative points through six quarters of play. I can do that too. WTF man.

Fish, I know it's hard on the true fans. Hang in there, it has to get better at some point.
You guys need a dynamic, fan friendly coach. Somebody that runs a high flying offense that will attract some of the wealth of talented skill players in your backyard.

I appreciate it. Sorry everyone. You guys don't deserve a conference mate to perform like this. I promise you, this university is way better than what you are seeing.
I agree about the coach. Turner is definitely not the answer. He inherited a steaming pile of poo, but did nothing with it. This is year 4. Do something, man. We need a change from the top down. I know FIU will get better, but it better be sooner than later. I feel so bad for the players. They are talented kids, but are being wasted.

It was a terrible game, but remember, you still have 10 more to go. Don't be too down. There are plenty of programs around C-USA that would have lost that game tonight. Your team needs to learn from this and just try to get better each week. If the coach and other in the leadership need to go, it will take a large segment of your fan base to draw attention to the matter.

Do you guys think that Garcia (your AD) is the person that merits the first pink slip?

Not an FIU fan, but to me... that is a yes. He is a joke or at least is perceived that way by the public at large. When I was at Miami I knew lots of FIU students and MDC folks who considered going to FIU sports stuff but they somehow knew about him and how crappy the leadership is on the athletic front (no offense, FIU fans, just passing on what I hear). I always wanted to make a game to support the team (esp. if my Raiders were in town) but didn't ever make it. Now, I would definitely be interested in going to a game if I still lived down there and it wasn't as much of a non-event as it is right now. And, to me, the problem of lame sporting events starts at the top...

17,000 fans for a big ten opponent. Better than the 16,000 they had last week, also for a big ten opponent.
Hope charlotte isnt coming to town.

Remember, attendance or the lack thereof, does not matter. We've been told this right here on our board.
