Miami can't get 200

Actually Miami has sold around 40,000 season tickets (numbers are up since they hired Richt), looks like some of the bandwagon fans have come out of the woodwork:

The decision to dismiss Al Golden and the ability to hire Mark Richt has completely changed the feeling of the Hurricane fanbase.

How much so? James says Miami has seen a record 86 percent renewal rate for season tickets, and new season tickets sold total around 9,000. You've seen plenty of photos of an empty Miami stadium, but James says they're already nearing 40,000 season tickets, before the busy sell summer. The booster club has also grown.

I agree that St. Thomas Aquinas would clobber them but let's keep in mind that Aquinas is not a high school program.
They are nothing more than a college prep program that recruits and introduces the players to being paid to play.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy watching them tour the country and kicking butt however they are a South Florida All Star team so they should be able to beat any high school in the country.

There are many HS programs around the country that do the same thing. Some are getting a little scrutiny, like Bellevue HS out here near Seattle, a long time nationally successful program. http://seattle.cbslocal.com/2016/04/15/probe-bellevue-hs-football-boosters-broke-rules/

like I have said before and was poo poohed, Our priorities in this country are askew

So true. Can you believe Florida schools trying to drop athletic programs? Good grief.

Yeah, right, how many were given away to the local boys clubs? 39,000?
