Single biggest pro of all is playing; for players, coaches and fans. No one has ever improved at anything by not doing it. So for all those fans moaning and groaning about an expected loss, so what. More practice and more games are good for everyone involved. And losing a game and not acting like FSU is better than not playing at all. And frankly, if you don’t agree with this position you don’t understand what it means to compete.
So lets all put on our big boy pants and stop whining like little b***hes about whether Miami will win or lose and appreciate that they are playing. Anything less is pure cowardice. See FSU, and about 1/3 of college football.
