The boards in 2001 after the BC and VT games. If was pretty much like this. There will always be mopes. They are evergreen.

Bottom line: We're 5-0, top 5, state champs, beat an ND team that won't lose again unless they make the playoffs, a UF team who beat Texas, and an FSU team that beat Bama. A bunch of you complainers were the 8-4 prediction guys. If you can't enjoy this, I am truly sorry for you. You are truly miserable.

Can you find a thread on this site from 2001?

Okay, just for argument, ND is a two loss team, UF is a three loss team, and FSU is a two loss team. I do not care who they have beaten, as I learned long ago (started as a 'Cane Fan in '79) football is not transitive, i.e. being or relating to a relation with the property that if the relation holds between a first element and a second and between the second element and a third, it holds between the first and third elements. USF was ranked, but is a G5 and BCU is FCS. All the wins except tonight have been at home...And yes, the team could still go 8-4.

It should have been a HUGE win. Looking at the bright side, defense AND offense is not satisfied with it either.

This is true and I remember it well (Grassy was the board back then). Best team ever, but we needed a miracle to beat a mediocre BC team that year.

Sports are like that. Games go in swings. This FSU team was averaging 600 yards per game and we were playing in their house. Very unlikely we'd be able to shut them down for 60 minutes.

A 16 post person says my post is "weirdo?" Why? Because you can't string three or so good lines of thought together to explain your argument?

Weak

I don't care if you agree with my argument but I'd love to know who our 4 loses might be.

Any games ((excepting Stanford) on the schedule could be a loss. I recall last year and '17 where the pundit's would say "...And Miami is favored over all the teams left on their schedule." How did that work out? Only eight wins is probably not the ceiling for this team, but if they lose two, it could doom the playoff if no ACCG. SMU is in Dallas, Pitt and Syracuse have done this team in before regarding the playoffs. Sorry, after 46 years of fandom, I have seen to much (BYU loss, Vinnie Picks, Washington ending the home winning streak, Terry Porter flag, etc.) to be smug until the HC is riding on the players shoulders.

Man, we beat everyone we hate the most and this is your vibe? Hope I never sit next to you on an airplane or get stuck talking to you at a ****tail party.

I mean are people wrong for not complaining and seeing issues that hopefully get blown up enough that maybe one of the embarrassingly bad local beat writers will ask Mario about it?

We’ve seen some bad football for 20 years… even under Mario.

But having said all that…. 5-0… state champs… hunting for a natty… feels good man.. feels so **** good

Great, we beat who we "hate," and, as Mario emphasized, "Florida State Champions" (not a peep from Frost or UCF, they can't beat anyone from Kansas!) which has recruiting/transfer currency. We have to temper this "Irrational Exuberance" with the FACT the only unbeaten team where victory was obtained is G5 USF. The playoff committee will look to deny UM for B1G and SEC teams since the new system was rigged for them. A lot of work to do.

Sorry, I would be boring, I usually sleep on airplanes; picked it up in the military because you hit the ground running when you land.

Grassy board treated the 2001/2002 teams a lot worse than what is going on now. Winning is never enough. We have to pulverize very single team into the ground much like the '83 Nebraska team.
