The Foreclosure (7/12)

I won’t sugarcoat it. I’m expecting more bad news, based on recent conversations. There isn’t much confidence on anyone right now, including Derrek Cooper.

I’ve thought we’d get him from the beginning, and still think we can flip him at some point. But we’re behind Texas headed into the announcement. And this is an absolute top priority recruit.

It seems a lot of kids still don’t believe in Miami. And the local players least of all. That’s understandable- they know us the best. Many of our fans don’t believe in us after two decades of disappointment.

The bottom line is we need to get over the hump. We were on the verge when we forgot to kneel against Georgia Tech. We were on the verge when we were up 21-0 on Syracuse. We need to get to the next level as a program to prove we aren’t the place dreams go to die.

Until then, we will be fighting a lot of uphill battles.

I’m sure I said some craziness after the GT game. Been hella bumps in the road since Mario came home and today. We’ve all been there at least once or twice.

Not near as bad as me throwing a water bottle, which basically exploded, in that game and risking hitting the people in the president’s box as they exited out into the club lounge.

True story. I was already in the lounge and headed out, thinking there was no way we could lose that game, and anxious to just hurry up and get home because it was a ****** game. When GT scored that touchdown, glancing up at one of the screens, it was probably the first time in my adult life that I did something so impulsive it could’ve gotten me thrown in jail - thankfully, no one was hit.

As I was leaving the stadium we were all yelling take a ******* knee, g-dammit.

My brother had just went upstairs and was grabbing some food, all he heard was me yelling from downstairs and he thought I was joking. He couldn't believe it

pretty sure that game is the one that made me finally start writing in on here.

Funny because I was with my brother that night, we didn’t even have the usual group cause a lot of people just sat out. It was a night game and if I remember correctly, it was the black uniform game.
