Miami is the new Miami

ACC….who cares

 

[Handsome Squidbum]

Going to get invited to the SEC so they have a winning football program again (and block the B1G from Florida).

You will see. UF can complain all it wants, but when Sankey points out that SEC can’t compete now with the B1G as it is, they will acknowledge the reality. what do they expect will happen to the SEC if Miami joins the B1G and teams like Indiana and Oregon get bigger footprints in the state?

SEC modeled itself after Miami to begin with.

Miami is the new Miami

How dare you utter those words.

The ACC is 8-6 against The Big Bad SEC and Miami just cemented that stat last night. I’ve been making sure to say this on every social media post discussing conference strength. The SEC, despite occupying almost half of the entire CFP, will have no representation in the Natty once again. None of the 5 CFP teams from the SEC won a CFP game against anyone outside of the SEC. Unless you want to count Ole Miss’s victory against Tulane, who coincidentally used to be in the SEC and was one of the original members.

Don't always agree with the guy but he's right.

For the record, Mario is 5-1 against the SEC since he got here and his one loss was by 4 on the road year 1. **** those pretenders

 

[JgDaCane]

**** the ACC. **** the SEC. We are Miami & when we are at our best we are unbeatable. I hope Indiana wins. I'm tired of hearing about Cig & them. They've beat nobody & it's time to shut them up.

 

[We'retheBoss]

and this was all without our conference champ in the playoffs. The committee didn't want any of that Duke smoke

And this one

Don't always agree with the guy but he's right.

This level of passion and articulation keeps me alive.

Jojo brought 15 yards and a PF energy to that block. My lord.

Don't always agree with the guy but he's right.

He's not right at all. Miami is Miami, and we are simply going back to our roots.

The SEC - or what they branded the SEC as after the major ESPN contract in 2007 - modeled itself after the great Miami teams of the 80s, particularly Jimmy Johnson's brand of football. Nick Saban ran a similar style, which some of his disciples then learned and took with them (see, e.g., Kirby Smart at Georgia). But there never has been one particular style of SEC football, certainly not to the same level that there is in the Big 10. ESPN just began using this as a marketing ploy post-2007. Some years, SEC means tough defenses, like in the low-scoring Bama v. LSU championship game that ended in a 6-3 score. And sometimes in means high-scoring offenses, like 2019 LSU. Again, it's just PR.

But it certainly is NOT Miami.

And to think...

Saint Schnelly was from the Bear Bryant tree...

Bama + Miami have a ton of intertwined history.

I thought it was getting to know all of us on a deep personal level.

I'm shook.
