Miami Hurricanes Continue to be Trolled By Arkansas Media

Many if not most of the players from the majority of the teams mentioned come from Florida. The Miami Hurricanes have 43 players from Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties and 69 from Florida. Most players wanted to be able to be with their families.

People that evacuated Miami Beach and the Florida Keys are not yet allowed to return home. Somehow Fires and others are perseverated on a football game.

Fires focused on Florida Tech as an example of why the Miami Hurricanes should have played the game in Jonesboro.

"“The coaches are working out a way to stay an extra couple days until the storm passes through Florida,” Florida Tech Sports Information Director Daniel Supraner told the Lake Charles (La.) American Press before the team arrived on Friday. “Whether it’s staying until late Sunday night or wait until Monday, we still don’t know.” So, tiny Florida Tech can make arrangements to play a Division II game while hotshot Miami with its big budget and five national championships can’t?"

Like FAU playing at Wisconsin, Florida Tech’s decision to play their game at Nicholls State might have been financially motived. The smaller schools often rely on the payday games to significantly help an athletic budget.

Like the cowardly post on AStateNation that has since been taken down, Fires points to Arkansas State’s close loss at Nebraska as Miami using Irma as an excuse to cancel the game.

We heard almost the exact same reasoning why Miami needed to be on upset alert at Appalachian State last season. The Mountaineers lost their season opener to Tennessee 20-13 in 2016. Two weeks later Miami went to Boone, North Carolina and defeated App State 45-10.
