Miami is dead. How the mighty have fallen.

[FlaIronMind]

Miami is dead. How the mighty have fallen.

Miami hasn't had that much of a pulse anyway. Not since 2001 anyway.

Although Miami did look good coming back against BC...
But what about Penn St losing to Ohio, Youngstown St beating Pitt, Houston losing to Texas St, Tennessee-Martin over Memphis, and Iowa and Wiscy JUST getting by directional schools....??
Great week one so far....

[DubfromGA]

Bama and USC look like NFL teams. Scary stuff.




What do I know? I'm an ECU fan....we routinely play way over our heads to surprise victories only to lose lock wins the next week. Lots of drama.



I really miss Miami being an ACC powerhouse.

Jury out on Miami. They gave up 500 yards to the worst offense in college football last year. They needed two turnovers and about fifty dropped passes by BC to win. That tailback and QB, however, looked damned good. Their defense, not so good.

Penn State is learning that Belichick is not great because of his assistant coaches. O'Brien is learning that it is much harder to win football games when your QB is named something other than Tom Brady.

Pittsburgh losing to the Penguins is the stunner to me. Wow have they fallen on hard times.

Bama is incredible. They may not have a single player who can read, but they sure are good at football. They look like an NFL team.

Univ of michigan.......so very sad...

[DubfromGA]

^^^^^true.

They finally had a strong season last year after three weak years. They'll probably lose to Ohio State as well. Hopefully they play strong with the rest of the schedule.

[boathead]

i'm having trouble getting into it.....i need a new team....cannot stomach my life long team, penn state. i'd be ok if they never won another game.

don't like michigan, ohio state, alabama, florida, usc. do like mich st., fla state, nd.

i could get into a big east team if someone would step up (not miami though).

[MiamiSpartan]

Hysterical......!!
SO over rated...

[IronCharles]

Looking forward to Oregon - USC in November, and then the rematch in the Pac - 12 title game. Should be entertaining games...... not like last night's blowout.

I wouldn't say they looked good doing it. BC isn't a good team at all. I'm a Canes fan and they suck right now. Although, we finally have a good coach. Miami has depth issues right now, Shannon didn't leave **** when he left. I think there is only 12 seniors on the whole team.

They were pretty damn good in 02 also. The team had good years up untill 2006, after than it went majorly down south.

Miami wasn't supposed to be good this year. Also, BCs offensive coordinator is new and no game film of his style, plus Miami had a bunch of players playing their first college game ever. Nontheless, Miami's D played horrible. Even though we won, I was still pissed over the game.

[flatiron]

I am happy with how my Huskers did. Taylor Martinez looks like a totally different QB (a good thing). But Bo will have to shore up the play of the DL and LBs somehow if we want to win the BigTen.

Still, 525 yards is a lot to give up. BC is not exactly loaded with speed and the Miami DB's were struggling to stay with their receivers. BC is probably a six win team this year and they probably should have won that game. That puts Miami in the same ballpark, as far as wins this year.

The question is whether Golden gets them over the hump before they get the death penalty.

I am an Oregon fan for that game. Used to love the Trojans, but I can't stand Lane Kiffin.

To be honest, they were pretty over rated last year. They had a cupcake schedule last year. I have no idea how they got a #8 rating this year. They lost most of their line which was their biggest strength last year.

They have no defense, and Denard can't throw. Shut down their run game and they can't do anything.

I went to UofM, but I grew up just outside of East Lansing and bleed green. Got in a few tussles over that when I was in school

I think most Miami fans are expecting a 7 win type season realistically. Miami isn't going to get close to the death penalty. They have been very cooperative and most of Shapiro's claims can't be proven. He has also stole about a billion dollars from people in a Ponzi scheme, not really the most credible source.

I think the dline was more of the issue versus the DB coverage. It got no push the whole game. This has been the biggest problem on D for the last few years.
The Kstate game next week has the potential to get ugly.

[Corbi]

I can't stand Lane Kiffin.

That's the way I feel about Nick Saban...lying piece of garbage.

I think they got an extra 10 spots this year based on their old history, kind of the same thing with Notre Dame a lot of years. Some of the media is already on their nuts because of a win versus a high school team.

I expect Miami to struggle this year, but they better beat Notre Dame. I hate Notre Dame on almost a racist type level. I was experimenting with the photo editor on my computer last year for fun. I put an erect penis in TouchDown Jesus's hand with the captin F-ck Notre Dame on it. I would post it, but it is a perma- bannable offense. If someone does want to see it, shoot me a PM.



Disclaimer: I have no problem with Jesus or the Catholic religion, but I HATE Notre Dame Football.

Go Irish.

Go Buckeyes.

[llahhsoj]

Go Irish.

Go Buckeyes.

How do you like both of those teams?

[Brackneyc]

How do you like both of those teams?

Or either of them

[JRT6]

I think the Irish will be the best they have been in years but that brutal schedule this year is going to be too much. I'm not convinced that Killer Kelly is the man either.

The Buckeyes are good for one loss at the most. I can't stand spread option offenses, I'm a former TE, but I think Myer is a genious when he's not crumbling to inevitable set backs.

[taf1968]

My Huskers looked pretty good . . . except Rex Burkhead sprained his knee and will have to heal up.

I love college football!

[JRT6]

College football is God's gift.

Notre Dame fans have been saying this since 1988 and they really haven't been that good since the early 90s.

[JRT6]

Dosen't mean it's not true.
