The Miami University campus has traditionally been filled with supporters of the Cincinnati Bungals. But after the Browns' spanking of the defending Super Bowl champs New York Giants by a final of 35-14, the campus is looking awfully brown this morning.

Yes, the Bungals seem to be the favorite of the campus with Cincinnati being the closest city to Oxford, but I'm going to make the pitch for turning it into a Browns campus. If the College Dems could change Miami into a blue campus, then I think I can change football persuasions.

Bungal fans like to make the argument that they have a better history than the Browns for whatever reason. They'll cite their Super Bowl victory as proof, because the Browns haven't had one. Well before they changed the name of the championship game, the Browns had 4 championships in the Jim Brown era winning in 1950, 1954, 1955 and the last Cleveland sports championship in 1964. They even had four championships back when they were in the AAFC, but only John McCain would remember that time period (yes, I'm jumping on the McCain he's old! jokes bandwagon, too).

The Browns have struggled with only one playoff appearance themselves since their re-entry into the league in 1999, but that's all the Bungals have, too, since '99. For whatever reason, though, after their playoff loss, the Bungal fans believed the hype, started the ridiculous chant Who Dey! and let their hopes run wild. Well those hopes and dreams have been spiraling down the crapper since, leading to their current win-less record.

So let's go ahead and change Miami into a Browns campus. Derek Anderson is back in form, so it seems, and if he makes it to the end of the season, the Browns will probably trade him to fill in the missing pieces while Brady Quinn takes over.

There's one rule, though, if you join us. Don't believe the hype EVER. Cleveland fans have always had hype surrounding their teams after one good year, then the injury bug hits them. Case in point is the Indians in the ALCS last year, expectations went up, and injuries ruined the first half of their season. The analysts liked the Browns to make the playoffs this year or maybe even win the division, but we Browns fans knew in our hearts that we'd be lucky to get to 8-8 overall with the harder than rigermortous schedule they have.

So don't go crazy with the expectations and simply enjoy being part of the fan club that ESPN has ranked one of the best. Let's turn Miami brown and orange!
