Wow that's a shame.. For the most part I like Carolina.

North Carolina is an amazing state. I've lived in New York, Virginia, & North Carolina... NC is leaps and bounds better than the other 2.

DJN is pretty objective about things and his articles are fair. Clearly the blog was in jest and I laughed. Some FIU fans don't like him because they were used to Pete who would cover up any negatives for the athletic department. Go F I U!

How is nobody getting its a joke? Are everyone else's beat writers that serious? It's a joke, the joke being that he had to make up reasons to hate FIU's new conference mates.

More like a horse rides him. I saw the two of them performing an "act" in Tijuana a couple of years ago.

Reason to hate FIU - This tool covers them.

The Herald is a tool for the 'canes. Giving C-USA schools a reason to hate us is on par with their agenda.

Read everything from the Herald with a large grain of salt where FIU is concerned.

It's pretty hard to believe that they don't realize that this is more an indictment of us than anything else. Oh well.

He's from Clayton.

I just bought 6 acres outside of Clayton. I actually like JoCo a lot.

Well, that people would be jealous of our cool nickname (and badass mascot) goes without saying.

See! That settles it, we were the first with the hand sign! LOL

Wonder what his opinion of USM would be if he realized Jimmy Buffett was a former Golden Eagle?

UAB - Because they get to have a cool name like “Blazers,” while
FIU’s perfectly cool original nickname “Sunblazers” got ditched for the dumb, pedestrian “Golden Panthers” now shortened to the even-more pedestrian “Panthers.”

Charlotte - The tobacco industry. Duke Energy (nee Duke Power). All the money injected into that state from the nefarious actions of those two industries and you really need more reasons to despise anything from North Carolina?

LaTech - Lose a Jonesboro, Ark., gain a Ruston, La.

Marshall - They snatched quarterback Rakeem Cato from FIU’s clutches. They beat FIU in the 2011 Beef O’Brady’s Bowl.

ODU - That name. First, it’s a nickname for Virginia used by a British king. Second, the school’s kind of fronting by using it. The name makes the school sound like some extremely old 13 Colonies Era institution when it’s really a William & Mary spinoff that didn’t award its first degree until 1956.

Rice - Their enrollment doesn’t exceed G. Holmes Braddock High and even the school tools haven’t seen anything under an A since explaining spitwad physics in first grade. So losing to them brings on a true inferiority complex.

S. Miss - Look at the first alum you’ve heard of. (Brett Favre)

UTEP - Because that Miners’ Pickaxe hand signal looks more like a person with arthritis trying to do the Hook ‘Em, Horns gesture.

UTSA - Former University of Miami football coach Larry Coker wound up there.

The Hearld's Welcome To CUSA Primer

This dude really doesn't want to make any friends does he?

Well, the rest of CUSA should hate FIU because they suck Hell, CUSA might should have take Arkansas State over them if we wanted a winner.

*******
As for the article:


And just so you know

FWIW, I also hated this album

Notice I'm calling him one, not FIU.

If there is anything funny to hate, it's that sweater he is wearing.
Or is it a tribute to Carlton from Fresh Prince of Bel Air?

a tongue in cheek article should mean that it's funny...it isn't...nothing he says is humorous...

Hah. I could come up with ten things for every one the FIU fanatic Herald writer comes up with. Thank god there's not more of them. They only have like 10 fans anyway...

They got rid of "Sunblazers" for "panthers"!?!?!? WTF!?!?!? Sunblazers sounds cool, and a great logo could be made for that...

Idiot marketers/bureaucrats.....
