The Hurricanes are my team and have been for over 60 years. What did anyone expect going into the year? The loss to Alabama was expected and we played better then the score. I think that game damaged the team psychologically. We then BEAT APP St a team that last year Penn State had to go to overtime to win 45-38 so they were not chopped liver and after the Bama loss was to be expected. Michigan St was a disaster but not until the 4th quarter where the wheels fell off but Mich St is a drastically improved team from last year, they have the leading rusher in the nation. Sure I am disappointed but teams learn from non-conference competition and we have time to fix what's broke before we start and we start with a home ACC game. Our main competition started the ACC with a loss. If we bomb out in the ACC then we move on from there via drastic changes but UNTIL then lets support our team. If we win the Coastal Clemson is vulnerable this year so we could have a dramatic reversal IF our team gets its confidence back. Sure it will take some doing but anything is possible. The rips on Diaz is his inexperience so do we have him gain experience here and leave or hope that he is learning and can be the coach so many of us EXPECTED. I am not for throwing the baby out with the wash water. Our season is the ACC now, let it play out and then make the necessary changes. I for one want this team to succeed, it is a great challenge but we are capable. I will never root for losses as some here are. I am excited to see Garcia or TVD step up and take charge of this team, our success should be in their hands and they seem capable. GO CANES!

with all due respect ....... your statement is exactly the mindset the Miami program and fanbase has been conditioned to accept. thats bul****.

Miami became elite and won national championships by NEVER expecting a loss to any **** body, no matter who it was !

The coaches never expected a loss, the players never expected a loss, and the fans never expected a loss.

The Canes were giant killers that went on the road and kicked *** and set an NCAA record for consecutive home wins and became THE model
for success in college football .

Success in anything starts with the right attitude. We have to get rid of this "expecting losses" crap.

I agree. The melt down should end.

We all knew it would come if we lost. And because we played so poorly the meltdown went nuclear(as it should) but its is time to start supporting the players again and rooting for our favorite team to WIN.

Feel free to continue to beat up on Manny, Rhett and Blake.

The season is still in play. Lets just take it game by game and not project the season. We need to get this W to start a new streak.

This is y in my OP, I said fans who are vested in hope will make excuses, despite what they see. It’s the O&G glasses.

-15-0 was peddled around here, OP, & anyone who said otherwise was given a scarlet letter. So let’s not change the narrative after the debacle.

-Bama: We did not play well that game; as a matter of fact, the score was much less indicative of how bad we played that game.

For a person like myself, someone who tries to balance fandom w/ reality, I didn’t expect us to win; but remember, this was supposed to be a “run it back” type of season. The reason why the polls, prognosticators, media were bullish on us, was b/c we were bringing back 91% production from a team that went 8-3. We were “supposed” to be a mature, well seasoned team, and thus, competitive against a young, mostly inexperienced Bama team (See Florida). We looked like the inexperienced team, which is troubling yr 6 in the same system, and team full of Juniors, Seniors, and Super Seniors.

-App St: Pls don’t bring up the App St v PSU game from last season as a “gage.” I brought out in another thread in response to this rhetoric, the commonality of every P5 school that went toe to toe w/ App St was they ALL had no less than 4 losses on the season, meaning they weren’t that good to begin w/. Ding, Ding, Ding.

-MSU: The heat was supposed to be our ally (that’s what all the pundits on here said). Yet, we were the ones that melted in the 4th like a popsicles & we looked like suckers.

What u fail to realize, @fraggle, is that this venom that’s being spewed on this board is not just b/c we’re 1-2 or that we’re 1-4 in our last 5 games, it’s how we are playing. It’s the constant mistakes, lack of discipline, lack of toughness, play calling, lethargic & apathetic attitude when getting punched in the mouth, the classless display of trinkets when getting our heads beat in, the lack of pride of donning the Orange & Green, etc. etc. etc.

We have seen EPIC failures in a short period of time w/ Diaz, & yet u wanna live in la-la land about how teams learn from out of conference games & the season starts next week during conference play?? I’m sorry, that is the most hog chit of bull chit theories I’ve heard.

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it’s not a cow. In our last four P5 games, we have been out scored 181 - 90.
