Brotha, u ain’t neva lies.

I can recall very vividly during the 2002 season that I told my girlfriend, at the time, (who’s ENTIRE FAMILY are $uckeye fans) that I have a bad feeling about this game b/c of where it’s being played.

Honestly one of the most embarrassing moments of my life as a Canes fan, as I’m watching this game w her ENTIRE family (literally), the only Hurricane in the room, going from talking mucho chit, telling them to hold this 6, and then the flag. Literally fell on my face and moments later, they poured Gatorade on me saying this how it feels to be a champion. Lol but so angry. Yeah something bout that desert do us wrong.

everyone knows the Taint game was stolen by that bull**** phantom penalty. and Taint fans are just about the worst ******** in the world.

2 lost national championships in the desert that should have been won.

JJ was dying to win a NC after the upset to Penn St. and to Tennessee the year before that in the Sugar Bowl which I experienced in person. Coaches were a who's who of greats and players were draft hot talent.

I hate to say it but Johnny Majors and Joe Pa schooled JJ in those two games. JJ was young and my guess is he didn't really know how to coach a bowl game yet. Unfortunately, Mark already knows everything and this is as good as he gets.

I know. Last year I was all excited and got beat on by the anti Rosier people. I like winning. When it happens I am good with all concerned and will overlook things. Tank four games in a row and I don’t care who you are. Thanks for the warning.

Horse ****.... that game was one of Jimmy's worst moments as a head coach. Testaverde had a bad game and Jimmy had many opportunities to replace him with a solid backup.

Penn State kept dropping 7 and 8 guys back into coverage. Vinny was forcing the ball, but Alonzo was shredding them on the ground. If JJ would have started pounding the ball with Alonzo, PSU would have had to adjust to stop the run and the passing game would have opened up.

Facts
 
Did anyone else get chills when Michael Irvin scored that td against FSU? As hard as it is to say this, we will never be that good again. That team would beat this current team as bad as we beat Savannah St.
