Canesfan Satisfaction Meter -- Final season results: 4.2%

CANESFAN SATISFACTION METER: UM-NOTRE DAME in SUN BOWL: Final results are in on the Canesfan Satisfaction Meter, and they show 4.2 percent overall approval for the Hurricanes' 2010 season in the wake of Friday's 33-17 Sun Bowl loss to Notre Dame in El Paso, Tex. That left Miami's final season record at 7-6. The positive approval rating is even more negligible when you consider many of the "satisfied" votes likely came from UM haters. The most significant subtotal: 88.9 percent calling themselves "very dissatisfied."
The CSM -- completing its second season -- is our continuing weekly gauge of how Miami Hurricanes football fans are feeling about the team and the program's direction. A new poll appears in a separate blogpost soon after the conclusion of every Canes game.
Criteria for voting is your own, but I suggest you consider the most recent game's performance and caliber of opponent, the season as a whole, the program's direction, and your overall degree of optimism -- all in the context of reasonable expectations.
Polls never close, but results are certified official the morning after one full day of voting, in this case that was around 9 a.m. Sunday.
Season results may be found beneath the latest, final poll. Thanks to the thousands of voters and we'll see you again next season!:
