(this will be updated often)
Gary Ferman : the boss. The FINAL authority of coverage of Miami football and knowledge of the program. Avoid imitations.
Matt Shodell: the fishing boss and Canesport Czar
Fermanated: you have been deleted/destroyed so STFU
Shodellshunned: you are banned or didnt pay your subscription so STFU, or you are a fish thrown back because you are too small
Pumper: A person who states that all is well and lives like this current year is 2001 or 2002 (or 92, 89, etc). Usually the pumper is a positive fan who doesnt stop believing things are getting better. The pumper may at times make statements that are based on a day dream and not on reality. Some pumpers are too young to have seen the U win a title and they think that a bowl game means we are a top program. A pumper may show sensitive reactions to any other fan who questions their view, and a pumper can mislabel other people and name call when others disagree with them. Pumpers may be needing to have a safe space provided to them soon.
Doomer: 1. A fan who sees the program as having issues and is familiar with what worked at the U in the past. These fans refuse to accept anything less than a national championship AD, HC, staff, recruiting effort and a product on the field that reflects championship football.The doomer is mislabeled as a DOOMER and is in danger of being censored and canceled as of 2021. The safe space for a doomer is youtube games from the Howard, JJ, Erickson and Butch eras. 2. A fan who whines and complains about everything, this fan was probably complaining that Ken Dorsey was not a good QB in 2001-2002. This fan probably is in danger of turning into a grumpy old man or woman permanently.
Baller: a stud, top player who gets drafted in top NFL rounds. Makes game breaking plays, works hard and leaves a strong reputation or legacy at the U (Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, etc.) This type of player was seen often during the days of 10+wins but has been lacking for years. Ballers are usually called with this title AFTER they have proven this on the field
Hater: see doomer
Elite: 1. (see baller) 2. Players who are hyped up and proclaimed to be the next Ray Lewis or Ed Reed, etc. or may be free agent NFL type players. These players are crowned by pumpers, examples: Tate Martell, Jeff Thomas, Mark Pope, Cade Weldon, Chris Walsh, Robert Marve, Nesta Silvera, Cameron Binion, etc
Canesport Live 1. Therapy time for doomers 2. Pumping time for pumpers
We Back: 1.This was a popular phrase that was started around the time we beat FSU in 2000, meaning the U has come back to national prominence. 2. What pumpers say when we beat a team like FAMU or barely beat Central Michigan
Lulz: fake news
Pfft: a fart
Mario: 1. Mario Cristobal, former OL player at the U and former assistant coach at the U, currently HC at Oregon. Undoubtedly the most successful former player who is in coaching 2. A name that triggers pumpers into outbursts of anger
Don't Sleep On..1. Be aware of this certain team who may sneak in a win vs. the U 2. A phrase followed by "the job" which many wish they could say to our AD especially during a coaching search
AD: 1. Athletic director, an individual who is in charge of overseeing sports operations 2. What some say the U football program doesn't have right now
TNM: 1. The New Miami (a definition for this has not been made yet. Pumpers should be able to define this but the pumpers keep changing their stance and sometimes pumpers pump doom or doom pumps without realizing the doom of their pumps. Usually the pumps have very little pounds per square inch) 2. New buildings that have been built on the Miami campus since Manny Diaz was hired
JAG: Just a Guy. A player who may be filling a position but makes little impact
WIN: 1. What true fans are accustomed to seeing from the U. A victory on the field that results in a final score that is greater than the other team. 2. A game that isn't a blow out that shows positive plays from players from the U. Moral victories and a game that may result in having less points than an opponent, however this is counted as a WIN. Usually the pumper will be the one who proclaims this. A win may also include finishing 2nd or 3rd for a recruiting prospect, or going to a lower tier bowl
#BuildingChampions 1. A phrase that is used after a Miami team wins a title, earning the right to be called a champion. This team is likely built using the Miami Blueprint of top recruiting, talent evaluation, player development, coaching prowess and great individual hard work and team effort to win at the highest level. 2. A punch phrase used by people in power to make things appear better than they really are. Usually this phrase is used by a person who has never built or won any type of championship at any time in their career
Lego Boy: 1. A male child who likes to play with this popular toy 2. A description of the person in the Miami Athletic Director position and that person's approach to running a program
Slurper: 1. See pumper
Don't Be A Fan Later: 1. A phrase that was started by Sheldrick Redwine stating to fans to be true fans not bandwagon fans 2. A favorite phrase used by pumpers against doomers when they cannot handle people disagreeing with them
All Things are on the Table: 1.What Gary Ferman states whenever there is a bad football season at the U. 2. See definition 2 on Lego Boy
Dabo Swinney: 1. The current head football coach at Clemson University 2. A nickname given to Manny Diaz by pumpers who say he is the next Dabo
Questions Answered: 1. A thread started by FERMAN opening up channels of communication with website members to properly inform them of happenings for Miami football 2. What never seems to happen when the mislabeled doomer fan base wants to know why the people in charge running the program do the things they do
Legion of Doom: a thing that only true canes will understand
Star Wars: 1.A movie that was made popular in late 70s and 80s. 2. A theme song that was played at the Orange Bowl when a player would sack and destroy a QB or blow up a RB. The football play personified the song by explosions of athletic ability on the field (see youtube videos of Warren Sapp, Ray Lewis, Darren Krein, Kevin Patrick, Kenny Holmes, Kenard Lang, etc)
