Gotta put the original Halloween in there too. Very few people actually killed. Multiple "hand-from-the-grave" false-ending resurrections of a seemingly-dead Michael Myers. Best music.

That was 1979 I think? It was a slasher movie but supernatural-ish I guess.

Haden - 2010
Jenkins - who? you mean the linebacker Jelani Jenkins?
Sheppard - 2002
Nelson - 2007
Maye - 2017, fair
Gardner-Johnson - 2019, fair

I'm not saying that Miami has lit the world on fire at this position either, but you've got 5 guys with solid careers, only 2 of whom have been drafted in the last dozen years.

Per Fan Duel, gators open as a 2.5 point favorite at home over Utah in the opener.

Take the Utes?

I don’t know how Utah is looking for this year, but based on recent history, this is a game the turds could easily lose, even if it is a home game.

Utah is 24-9 over the last three years, I realize that’s in the PAC12, but still, they’re not a pushover

****, man, he graduated from North Alabama, not Florida. Can Miami have credit for Gus Edwards, he was at UM for 4 years and Rotgers for 1 year?

I know, I know, I remember his history, he was at Florida for 3 years, yada yada yada. But you guys did kick him off the team. I'm giving the credit to Terry Bowden for redeeming this wayward lost soul...

Returning 17 starters from last year. Offense will be very good.

Not to mention some who had solid to great college careers who didn’t sniff or pan out regardless of their draft position:

Purifoy (in 2012, he had the JUICE lol)
Marcus Roberson (see Purifoy)
Fred Weary
Lawrence Wright
Todd Johnson
Marquand Manuel (he was “ok”)
Dee Webb
Josh Evans (he actually “overachieved”)

These guys were 4th rounders or later (or even undrafted) so while expectations were low or nonexistent, you’d think SOMEBODY would perform well above their draft slot, no?

Knew Todd Johnson's wife in college. She was very easy on the eyes

I saw a documentary on the making of Halloween. They had zero budget and at the time nobody cared about horror movies. John Carpenter was a master.

Although I am a sucker for slasher flicks. Even the terrible ones. I've seen every Friday the 13th and would run to the theater to see a new one if they ever make another. Even though I know it would be terrible.

I've seen them all, but usually on video, not in the theaters. I have very high standards for horror movies. I feel like later Halloween/Friday-the-13th/Nightmare movies were just formulaic and repetitive. It's very hard to make a great horror movie past the first one, as you really lose the element of surprise.

Not sure if you saw the History of Horror series with Eli Roth on AMC. Eli did a great job of breaking down different genres and elements of horror movies, and what buttons they push.

The original Halloween was great, I used to have a MM mask that i got at Disney of all places I would scare the crap outta kids at a little haunted walk through we put together in the neighborhood. I also like rob Zombie's remake of Halloween because of Tyler Man playing the Michael character.
