I'm getting 2001 energy from this team

Kinda funny…..it’s nowhere near the same level of opponent, but I was thinking earlier we come out against Stanford and scare the **** out of the whole country like we did in Happy Valley to open the 2001 season.

For those of you too young to remember, the 2000 team had an incredible season and a lot was expected in 2001 (sound familiar?). We opened the season on national TV, at night, against Penn state. Upset alert right out the gate. Pretty sure it was a white out. They had a kid get paralyzed I believe the year before, Adam Taliaferro. He led the team out of the tunnel. It was pure chaos. It was Penn State’s night.

And then the game started. And the entire country said collectively, ho-lee-****. Miami is terrifying. The game was 30-0 at the half. We blew them out of the entire area code. An absolute WAGON was unveiled.

I was thinking the same thing happens this year in Palo Alto. Again, there won’t be 110,000 fans there. And Stanford football is not Penn State football. But I think we go out there and put the world on notice that, yeah, Miami football is not back. Miami football is here.

Manifesting this ****
 
I have told everyone around me that we are winning that **** this year and they think I’m crazy, just how they did when I said we’d make a playoff run. Just wait…

We went 8-3 under manny in the ACC with Nowhere NEAR this amount of talent and depth & especially This caliber of QB ..I’d be completely shocked if we don’t run the table with ND being the toughest test. Only way we **** this up is if Mario reverts back to his pre-SMU coaching philosophy

ND has been talking a lot
A rout would be fitting, on the road
 
I’m not drinking the koolaid till the OL gels. Will be interesting to see against a talented front how we run block. Mensah is quite elusive so I’m less worried about pass blocking

I remember it well that game. Should have been 56-0 final but Coker was such a *****. side note, I believe Mike Mussina threw a perfect game that weekend against the Red Sox but someone can fact check me!

We should have beat PSU by 50. Coker showed us that night that he lacked the killer instinct and repeated that same mistake over and over again. Same thing against Nebraska. The Syracuse and UW games were blowouts but a lot of the scoring was defense and ST in those games.

It was a fay cry from the famous scene of Jimmy Johnson in the locker room telling his guys to pour it on the other team once you have them down.

If Jimmy Johnson was coaching that 2001 team, they would have beat Penn State by 70 and Nebraska by 50+. Zero chance he would have let up one inch.
 
While I agree with the OP, I’m getting more of mid 80’s Canes vibes. What I mean is while I see the comparison to the ‘01 team, you could tell by ‘03 that Coker wasn’t really it and the downfall began soon after. I don’t get that vibe at all right now. I feel like it’s 1986 and we about to go on a run and win a few nattys over a few years. We are stacking talent at an insane clip. We are back to being a destination school where top dogs come to improve and to win.

I’m drunk on the Kane Kool-Aid and it feels so good.

Let’s think of it like 2001 but Butch stayed as coach

That Penn State beat down ****ed me off for 2 reasons.

1. The beat down was so bad in the 1st half, the local NBC/ABC/CBS (who ever was showing the game) didn’t air the 2nd half. They literally switched to something else. I couldn’t watch the whole game.

2. Larry Coker….I knew he’d be a liability after this. Miami was up at halftime 30-0, but we only won 33-7. Why…because Coker lacked that killer instinct. I’m not saying all starters needed to stay in so we could hang 60+, but only scoring 3 points in the 2nd half with that roster is a crime.

Throwing a deep ball against Pittsburgh with 10 seconds or whatever on the clock?

Thats totally against the typical Mario philosophy regardless of the stskes.
