Are you really even that mad.

Not mad, a little sad. We are who we have always been ( for 22 years at least)
We beat FSU, I’m at least happy about that
Love the Canes but know the perpetual torture that brings
Maybe Better Help should be my next stop 😬
 
Just pop 2 of these before you turn the Canes game on and by the time the game ends .. u won’t give 2 fu**’s about the outcome!

You knew the boogeyman was coming.

You just didn’t know which day he would arrive.

And the funny thing is.

You don’t know when he’s coming again.

You just know that he is.
As I mentioned in one of my earlier posts, this game was essentially meaningless in the big picture. Yeah, we lost and it sucks. I get it. People have every right to vent, be frustrated, and angry. I’m not against that at all because honestly, it’s well deserved after the way things

To me, it’s more of that deja vu feeling, like we’ve been here before, clinging to that same blind faith.

Because let’s be real, has Mario truly proven that he can win out when it matters most? I want to believe he can, I really do. But right now, it’s hard not to feel like we’re stuck in that same loop: moments of promise followed by a gut punch that brings us right back down to earth.
 
As you know I’ve been talking this up all week. It’s easily one of the most predictable upsets I’ve seen. It’s easy to get up for rivals but Louisville not so much. This team came out flat , unprepared and uninterested. UL won every round of this fight and was the dominant team. As I said earlier in the season “ I expect to win the big games and rivalry games , it’s the nobody’s as a double digit underdog’s that worries me”. This loss was on brand .
2 weeks to prepare & were down 14-0, tons of penalties, uncreative run game
and a QB who has nervous feet....... what could go wrong
 
I was literally just saying something similar to my wife earlier. I was bummed and ****ed off throughout the entire game, but I have sort of surprised myself at how quickly I have moved on to acceptance. I’m embarrassed to admit that losses like this in the past would have resulted in me not being the most enjoyable person to be around for awhile afterwards.

However, with age and after being subjected to 20+ years of continual letdowns and the constant dashing of false hope, I’ve been conditioned to accept that disappointment will almost always be the most likely outcome…
Kinda crazy on the last drive from 1989-2002, we execute & win last 20+ years we do not execute and do not win. on the last drive I just felt that even though we moved the ball 50 or so yards we would not make it happen and I was not surprised

We don’t lose another game. And you fair weather fans go go crowd fund to hire the next brilliant G5 mind that won’t stack the roster the way Mario will. This game is on the OL and Beck, not Mario. You want to go for the win in the 4th? You get the 4th INT instead of forcing OT
You’re joking right?
Did you watch this team last night?
This offense is hot garbage.
They are not done losing in the ACC this year.
This is Miami we’re talking about. They haven’t won anything in almost 3 decades and they are not going to with this offense.
 
It's the penalties for me, even in victory. Mario's a coach that harps on about hard work and attention to detail, projects gravitas, but my guy we are routinely one of the sloppiest teams week to week. I was naively hoping we would come out of the bye looking sharp but it's still false starts (at home), unsportsmanlike conduct, etc.
You can't expect to win anything of significance playing that way.
This.
It’s maddening.
No discipline and you know this was going to bite us, yet Mario still can’t fix it.

At the stadium, the game had that off feel from the start. Never felt right.
Exactly. Watching team warmup, I said, "something is strange tonight." When coaches came out after halftime, I noticed Dawson and Hetherman having a conversation walking across the field. Hetherman was walking fast and it appeared Dawson was trying to talk to him. Team stayed really long time in locker room at halftime. With Beck's comments, will the team now be divided? Something strange must have happened during bye week. But then, same thing always happens every season. Not many fans will be at Stanford game and the world rejoices seeing Miami program fail, again. We are still the laughing stock of college football. Doesn't matter the coach is, the program is cursed.
 
I mean, most teams don’t go undefeated. So there’s that. The L comes for everyone at some point, almost always.

But really, losing tonight isn’t entirely shocking. The boogeyman would be Cuse or VT. This was a Friday night game against a good team that is very well coached and always gives us fits. And we’ve been riding high after wins against THREE main rivals. F the spread, this one was dangerous the whole time.

I’m surprised we lost how we lost, but not necessarily that we lost. Louisville is a good team. We’re good too, but I wasn’t too sure about that “best team in the country” talk when I went back and watched the prior games. We’ve played solid ball until tonight, but we don’t give ourselves much margin for error with our style.

What sucks is we were thisclose to being good enough to overcome a ghastly performance by the offense. Just 1 fewer INT and we’re probably 6-0. Had to be an all-time egg from Beck to lose. Made it hurt worse to lose like that.

But we clearly didn’t deserve it.

Bad night for the offense to play that poorly.

And my God, the penalties are gross.

Game was ****** as ****, but it took four interceptions for us to lose by three. I think it bodes well for the for the rest of the season.
