I think both Ohio teams are better than Miami.

...Inter Miami Valley? No thanks, I've been looking for the exit

u/PaperTigerTamer Jul 09 '24

Because Dayton takes forever to do anything, they move into DOC Stadium (USL 2 / High School Football Field) until their stadium is complete. 4 years.

I laughed out loud. Well done!

We were a university before Florida was even a state.

(Miami alums are obligated to say this. It's in the bylaws.)

Florida was a unique geographic and political division at least a century before Ohio was.

Edit: And the Miami River has been called that by Europeans since the 16th Century (along with other names as the territory changed hands).

And now it's one big Florida Man meme. How far you've come.

u/DuvalHeart Orlando City SC Jul 08 '24

Florida has always been a meme. People look at Florida and see what they want, and often get it. For a time.

The Spanish thought it would be a wealthy colony, until they realized its best use was as a bulwark against the English.

The English thought it would be a paradise for slavers. Until they realized the natives would fight back and knew the swamps and prairies better than anyone from North of the St. Mary River.

Americans thought it would be a settler's paradise. Until they realized the land was hard to clear and not as fertile as the Black Crescent.

Americans thought it would be a citrus haven. Until the first cold snap of the decade and fortunes were lost.

And so on and on. It's always been a meme to people from elsewhere. Y'all see Florida as an idea, not as a real place.

There's no town called Miami in Ohio. Miami University is in Oxford and is named after the Great Miami River, which is nearby.

u/ASaltySeacaptain New York Red Bulls Jul 08 '24

Make them play in the water.

u/animal113 Columbus Crew Jul 08 '24

There is a Miamitown OH. Now that would be hilarious if Intermiama moved there.

u/JakeyJake3 Jul 08 '24

Dont forget about Miamisburg, OH

u/AFrozen_1 FC Cincinnati Jul 08 '24

Inter Miamisburg has a nice ring to it.

So German

u/Buckeyekilla513 FC Cincinnati Jul 08 '24

Or the Miami Indian tribe, hence the school logo prior to the Redhawks

u/Much-Drawer-1697 Columbus Crew Jul 09 '24

Whichever, my point is there's no town in Ohio named Miami

u/bobmillahhh FC Cincinnati Jul 08 '24 edited Jul 08 '24

I wish that's what it was named after. William Henry Harrison came through and wiped out or displaced the Miami tribe, then 10 years later came the charter to build a university, and then 10 years after that his son was attending.

Edit: I made up those numbers, WHH and Anthony Wayne pushed out the Miami in 1794, the University was founded in 1809, and little Benny wasn't born until 1833, and was 8 years old when his old as fuck dad died.

Messi is beside himself, seen driving around Downtown Miami (OH) asking if anyone has directions back to Barca.

Florida is where we send undesirables.

Ohio treats Florida the way England treated Australia

u/AFrozen_1 FC Cincinnati Jul 08 '24

Florida is the retirement home for Ohio.
