Former Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis is not on the field anymore, but he still found a way to get Miami fans fired up.

A video clip featuring Travis made the rounds after the former Seminoles star criticized Hurricanes fans as fair-weather supporters while talking through his dislike of Miami.

Former FSU star Jordan Travis calls out Miami fans

"I don't like Miami. I have no respect for Miami at all. Like zero," Travis said. "The rivalry for Miami is just different. People always ask me, 'Who do you not like more, Miami or Florida?' It's Miami."

Travis took it further by questioning where some of the Hurricanes' visible support has been in past years.

"There's something about green and orange that when I see it on the back of their car, and I see so many fans now that have Miami shirts that never wore a Miami shirt in their entire career," Travis said. "I've never seen so many Miami fans down in South Florida, but they're all coming out of the woodworks now. And man, beating Miami... it will stick with me forever, man."

Travis has history against the Hurricanes

Travis became the first Florida State quarterback to start and win three games against Miami, a distinction that remains one of the defining pieces of his college career.

In 2022, Travis went 10-of-12 passing for 202 yards and three touchdowns in a 45-3 win at Miami.

The year before, Travis helped Florida State beat Miami 31-28 in Tallahassee. He threw for 274 yards, rushed for 62 more, scored the game-winning touchdown with 26 seconds left and added the two-point conversion.

In 2023, Travis completed 19 of 31 passes for 265 yards and a touchdown in Florida State's 27-20 win over Miami.

Travis finished his Florida State career with 8,644 passing yards, 65 touchdown passes, 1,910 rushing yards and 31 rushing touchdowns. He also left as one of the most productive quarterbacks in FSU history, with multiple school records to his name.

Miami fans pushed back hard on the bandwagon claim, arguing that the fanbase remained present through coaching changes, losing seasons and years of frustration.

Miami fans have heard versions of this for years. When the Hurricanes struggle, the fanbase gets labeled as absent. When the Hurricanes build momentum, those same fans get labeled as bandwagoners. There is not much room to win that argument from the outside, but Canes fans know the truth.

The next Miami-FSU game is in Week 8 of the 2026 season, with FSU coming to Miami.
