Excellent comment by Stewart Mandel

When reading many of the comments on this site concerning the upcoming game with that lingerie team located in the world's largest septic tank my mind goes back to the comments/predictions leading up to the LSU game. As much as I despise every facet of that lingerie team I know that game is going to be a war. Anyone that even hints that it will be anything different are simply delusional. PLEASE...stop with the predictions that this is going to be a walkover, a Canes blowout or a certain victory. In this instance, silence is golden and once the Canes take the field their play will say it all. Walk softly and carry a big f'cking UM stick!!
 
Not the same thing but I remember in 1999 I think it was #3 Arizona played #4 Penn at opening day and Penn State beat the crap out of them buy like 35pts.

The year prior Zona only had like 1 lose beat Nebraska in bowl game and had been super hyped.

Last year Miami was super hyped and never thought it would end up the way it did but man did we survive some real close games the year before. Hype machine loved us and Malik rosier stats that year looked real good (not completion %). Just like Gators last year, overachieved D made O look good and Franks stats looked sexier than his play. They also won a lot of close games (Miss St, LSU, Vandy, and South Carolina) and lost to Kentucky, Missouri.

I’m feeling a let down Gator season for them.
And the best time to bet and beat Vegas is first 2 weeks of year when means are overhyped or undervalued.
 
The hype for UiF is predicated on us getting boat raced in **** near every big game we’ve had on prime timeTV other than Notre Dumb for years.

It goes to the fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me.These sportscasters are tired of backing us only for us to lay another egg.

I really do think that this is the #TNM and I doubt very much this will be a cakewalk either way but a ONE point win will look real nice on our W/L ledger and with them being ranked in the top ten going in it will look like a big upset by us.

The gaytor hype has nothing to do with miami. They are being hyped because of the fluke season they had last year.

I've said it before, but things are really all in line for a major upset.

Miami has a new, first time HC, tainted by being associated with the previous coach. The offense was anemic last year and some big names on defense have graduated. We still don't have a clear leader at the QB position. People simply don't expect much.

Florida came on strong at the end of the season and are ranked tenth preseason. There's no reason to think they won't steamroll an unranked Miami team.

The problem is if you look closely, you'll see that first glance is completely false.

Anyone who really watched Florida last year knows they were nowhere near as good as that record—especially offensively.

They rolled a completely demoralized Michigan team in the Peach Bowl—one that got waxed 62-39 by an Ohio State team they SWORE they were gonna take down for the first time under Harbaugh. They were walking zombies in Atlanta for the bowl game.

Before that they beat the brakes off a Florida State team that was 5-6 and lost three of their past four. A week prior; home game against Idaho; standard SEC late regular season November game to rest up, pad stats, get a win, etc.

The four games before that are more telling. South Carolina took them to the wire in a 35-31 Gators home win—and the Gamecocks were not a good squad in 2018. Before that, Missouri came into the Swamp and rolled, 38-17—on the heels of a 36-17 loss to Georgia and a comeback win at Vanderbilt the week before.

Florida built their 2018 rep on that upset of LSU in the Swamp. Period. The went from No. 22 that week—5-1after winning a few games after the early loss to Kentucky. They then jumped to No. 14 going into the Vandy game and rose five spots to No. 9 going into the showdown with Georgia—but only dropped four spots after losing.

Somehow at 6-3 (after losing to Mizzou)—Florida was STILL ranked No. 19—and after wins over South Carolina, Idaho and Florida State (with no SEC title game)—were No. 10 when the played Michigan.

We'll see what Miami winds up fielding game one under Diaz and Enos—but the Gators are as fat and bloated a preseason team as I can remember in forever. Lest not forget this was a 4-7 squad in 2017—that went 10-3 year one under Mullen ... yet their idiot fan base doesn't think Diaz can build off of 7-6, despite the fact the Canes were 10-3 the year prior.

Oof that's a bad memory for me, was a freshman at Arizona that year. After growing up in Miami I hated Penn state so I was pumped for the game. It was over after kickoff. Hope we can do the same to the turds.

Agree 100%, JD. The nation-wide thinking on the game (and even the line in Vegas, IMO) is completely skewed by the optics of 2018. UF ended on a super high note and we looked like dogsh-t. But it won't be anywhere near the same two teams on that field in a few weeks. I'm already on Miami+8 and Miami+250. I feel real good about this game! And I would MUCH rather our Canes be the written off underdog coming into this one, so it's all lining up perfectly.

I heard from a Gator friend that he is nervous about losing his whole starting d line. We seem to have retained most of our starters.
