Support the independent voice of Miami and help keep the future of New Times free.
Riptide's dear Miami Hurricanes won't be playing this week, and instead will watch as a team they beat take on a team they narrowly lost to in OT battle it out for the ACC championship. That should be interesting and all --we've got our money on GT, btw--, but it pales in comparison to Saturday's SEC championship game between Florida and Alabama. It's the #1 team in the nation against the #2, and may prove to be more of a decider in who reigns as this year's National Champion more so than the actual championship game (then again, who knows, Texas could still prevail.)
Keep Miami New Times Free... Since we started Miami New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Miami, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Miami with no paywalls.
