    Gripe about the schedule

    Just saw that the Va Tech game is the first conference game. The annoying thing is that we play all our non conference games before the start of ACC season. Why on earth do we always schedule 8 straight conference games. Every other team puts a cream puff non conference game in the middle of the...

    Dominating the trenches, evolving nature of CFB

    The past two cycles, Miami has completely remade it's lines with 21 lineman signed- 9 olineman, 12 dlineman including 4 5 stars and 1 6 star (Bain). This is very similar to Georgia's approach (22 with 11 on each side) and in direct contrast to Ohio State who has signed the exact same number of...

    Signing day is the day when final NIL negotiations come to a close

    This is crazy watching all these flips. I'm actually kind of surprised at how these negotiations play out. More power to the players I guess.

    Culture illustrated in two plays

    Why coaches care about character. Look at the Bengals WRs block down the field vs George Pickens. The most promising development this year was the effort and lack of quit on the team. Haven't seen that in a long time. Good culture Bad culture

    This is really starting to look like 1980s Miami

    We’re really cleaning up in Dade and Broward. Basically dominating recruiting in the Dade, Broward area and getting top talent from cities. I can’t remember a time when we got players from the top programs like St Thomas, Central etc. Back then we didn’t get everyone as schools like Oklahoma-...

    How many game’s before a Miami coach meets the CIS- previously Grassy Amateur Coaching Society (CISACS) founded 1999

    How many game’s before a Miami coach meets the CIS- previously Grassy Amateur Coaching Society (CISACS) founded 1999? The CISACS is an organization comprised of talent evaluators, schematic experts and top notch play callers. They have a 1000% batting average (after the fact of course.) They...

    Tremendous year over year improvement

    While the record leaves a lot to be desired this is easily a team that could be anywhere from 9-2, 10-1 to 4-7. The only game where we really didn’t have a shot was NC State and possibly Carolina. Otherwise we have been in every game and a few plays either way would have changed the outcome for...

    Manny Navarro on Jaccuri

    Just listened to Navarro discussing Jaccuri and he said the only reason that Miami isn't playing him is because he's transferring and doesn't want to get hurt before entering the portal. Basically that's the only plausible reason that he hasn't played. Actually makes a lot of sense. One place I...

    Lofton visiting Texas this weekend

    Honestly, given our lack of use of TE’s, you can’t blame him. They’re on the missing persons report.

    Why it’s so hard to recruit/beat Ohio State

    Even though they’re soft as Charmin and Ryan Day is a p…. They have an unbelievable infrastructure led by Gene Smith. The takedown of Michigan is pretty high level. This Michigan story is 100% driven by them. You’re basically competing against a high level corporation that is completely...

    Difference between a 6 star player- Bain and a 5 star- Shemar, MJ and KJ

    DMoney's comment that we might have whiffed on some 5 stars this cycle but that’s ok because we have a 6 star really resonated. I remember the 22 cycle when So Fla had 4 4&5 star dlineman. Until Mario we weren’t in the mix for any of them. These guys were all gonna be huge difference makers...

    2 sources of optimism

    I say this with reservations because we have no idea how they’ll bounce back but after listening to the podcast with UNCs 24/7 reporter I had that same feeling I used to have before we played a physical SEC- except this time we are the SEC team. The UNC guy was talking about how great the...

    CJ Verdell vs Stanford

    I was saying the whole time. No CJ Verdell. It’s amazing he never learns.

    Interesting point on Athletic Beyond Saturday podcast

    Was listening to the beyond Saturday podcast. The first point when discussing the Texas AM win was how the new Shannon Dawson offense is going to be incredibly attractive for a portal quarterback. Its the first time in forever that I’ve heard a national reporter talk about how exciting the...

    Two Unexpected highlights

    1. McCoy on the 4th series. I started wondering who 78 was that was driving defenders like rag dolls. Not sure why but he took Cohens place on that series. It was literally a highlight reel. 2. Washington looks like he has amazing short line quickness. It stood out on his receptions. Also I...

    Great post from Christine Brennan about the 83 team

    We often talk about the long battle that has been waged to achieve equal access for women in sports media. Howard Schnellenberger and the U of Miami took care of it in 1983. Yes, 40 years ago. I’ve written about it over the years but it’s worth mentioning again. @AWSM_SportMedia ·

    Main reason for optimism

    Looking objectively, ATM is somewhat more talented, but having followed Mario at Oregon, he consistently had them up for big games (exception being Utah the last season when he had one foot out the door as well as half the team out with injuries.) But they had multiple big game wins when they...

    Interesting stat during broadcast

    I think many of us forgot what Mario did at Oregon after last year. The announcers pointed out that he was 22-1 at home with Oregon. That’s a pretty impressive record no matter how you slice it.

    Can Chris Johnson be used similarly

    Can CJ be used similar to the way USC used Zachariah Branch. Hard to believe but CJ actually has more speed. I’ve never seen him play but watching Branch made me wonder if he has similar traits.
