It's Over

Those are the words Al Golden spoke on National Signing Day this year.

The last 2 1/2 years has been a war of attrition. It is well documented how ridiculous this has made life for our football team.

We missed out on bowl games, which not only cost us money, but also 30 invaluable practices for a young team. We missed out on playing for the first ACC Championship in our history. We lost out on countless recruits.

However, for as hard as it was on the football team, it was worse on fans.

We had to deal with that fucking "Miami NCAA Investigation Timeline" package every game for 2 1/2 years.

We had to hear the phrase "NCAA Dark Cloud" enough times to choke a small child to death.

We learned who Ameen Najjar and Nevin Shapiro and Mark Emmert and Maria Elena Perez are.

Every time something good happened to the program, some condescending asshole always had to follow it up with "as they await word from the NCAA".

We had to sit and listen to troglodytes like Lou Holtz and Mark May and MOTHERFUCKING CHARLES ROBINSON tell us how we deserved the death penalty.

We had to listen to chump ass co-workers and dipshit buddies tell us that Miami is nothing but a bunch of cheaters and that their players are thugs and BOAT PARTY STRIPPER ABORTIONS!!!

For those of us that stood strong, we have been delivered. Our nightmare is over. When I woke up this morning and read the news, it got a little dusty in Casa de Bro. It was well earned.

For years, other programs have grown fat and prospered while Miami struggled.

They negative recruited.

They snatched recruits that wavered.

They rubbed our noses in the dirt when we were down.

For 2 1/2 years, Al Golden has been unable to fight back.

That shit ends today.

Look at the man in the photo above. He is at the forefront of a program that, at its peak, is the NCAA's Evil Empire. There is one key difference between the Canes and that Empire.

Al Golden isn't some frail Emperor; he is the fucking Death Star.

I hope Jimbo and Willie got their shots in when they could. This is what they see when they look at Miami: ran undefeated team full of young stars with the arrow pointed straight up, and for the first time in 2 1/2 years, there is nothing ahead but daylight.

Everyone is about to feel the firepower of this fully armed and operational battle station.

Now that the fog of war is clearing,a few final thoughts:

-Golden, Jim Larranaga and ESPECIALLY Donna Shalala showed what true upper management is all about. They weathered the storm and now they will reap the reward.

-Nevin Shapiro... Good job, good effort.

-One last big FUCK YOU to the NCAA, Tyrone Moss, Kyle Wright, Randy Phillips and any other ass hats that I am forgetting. Hope you all get gall stones.
