Re: BRAG: College Gameday is coming to Williams v Amherst
it just happened to be the game that's on tonight.
Pretty sure that a lot of the players on both teams also love playing the game but the rhetoric is for the even smaller college guys who evidently TRULY love to play the game or whatever.
Miami University is in the Miami Valley in Ohio.
There are about a zillion other aspects of that area that are named after the Miami tribe including Miamisburg, New Miami, Little Miami River, etc etc.
Miami, Florida was named after the Miami tribe that was in the Ohio/Indiana area. The guy who named Miami, FL liked how it sounded.
So it's the university in Ohio that truly has some reason to be named Miami whereas the larger city in Florida should really be considered as being, "somewhere that is not Miami."
