Such a great callout on @CanesInSight—it the hate for the #MiamiHurricanes on full display in the way no feel-good story ever works in #TheU's favor.
#Miami doesn't bring in #FernandoMendoza in 2022; a 3-Star project of a quarterback (with offers from a few Ivy League schools and FIU before Cal offered)—talking to the #MannyDiaz camp and a preferred walk-on, before Diaz is fired and #MarioCristobal was hired in December 2021 ... safe to say Cristobal had a full plate trying to rebuild his alma mater and understandable that a walk-on quarterback wasn't a priority—yet the media narrative all week was Mendoza and revenge against the hometown team.
The flip side is #JeremiahSmith to #OhioState and Miami working every possible path to get him to stay home in December 2023—right down to that letter-of-intent getting set in after sundown that night ... and again, it was still somehow a slight on the Canes and Smith getting revenge against the hometown team ... because they weren't good enough when he signed so he went elsewhere?
Same narrative with the portal.
Nobody cares when #Duke poaches #DarianMensah from #Tulane—but Miami goes after Mensah a year later and it's a lawsuit and "tampering".
Meanwhile, Miami kids hitting the portal just before or after the national title game—#EmoryWilliams and #RayRayJoseph are at #EastCarolina within minutes ... and now the day #GirardPringle hits the portal, he's immediately tied to #Alabama within hours ... but not one media report, tweet or social media post about "tampering".
On one end, them "hating" on the Canes is proof of being "back"—as before it was nothing but indifference; nobody gave a shit when Miami was going 7-5 annually ... but the hypocrisy and ignorance really is next-level, while the bias is already exhausting.

"Being a Miami Hurricane has always been everything to me and I owe Miami everything..
I couldn't go to the grave without Miami being Miami again and that's the bottom line"
