Miami fans have been mostly complimentary: http://www.miamihawktalk.com/discussion/viewtopic.php?t=5...

Disagree, I think its funny. Especially if the guy who said it on tape is a vet. That gives him every right to say it.

its not a joke, its a humorous exaggeration about actual events. per Horvath in the Miami student paper-

Quote:
Did he really choose fighting in Vietnam over attending Miami?

"[That statement] was a bit of stretch," Horvath said.

Horvath said he made the decision not to go to Miami in 1965 and served in Vietnam from 1968-70. In between, he attended an engineering school.



but for me his best line was the one about  everyone being named Muffy, Buffy or Burl.

I don't think it was the writer's intention but that article sums up why Miami has crappy fan support.
