Interesting RE: schedule

[puertorricane]

You don’t want to play that game. Just be happy with 4-4. It could be better and it could be worse, we’re exactly what our record says . Nothing else matters.

I think we are better than our record says.

 

[PIPO]

And we should've beat UVA and UNC.

And we could’ve lost to App St, NC State & Pitt. C’mon, bro!!

A game of inches

Yes, but our coaching & some players who shouldn’t be playing (also because of the coaches) prevents us from being better.

That’s what she said

Six consecutive power five losses says that’s more like games of feet.

So what will winning out say?

 

[TRick72]

Wake has

Campbell
Old Dominion
Norfolk State

And the vaunted ACC on their schedule thus far. Zero ranked opponents.

If we win out and Pitt and Virginia both lose were in the ACCCG and Manny Diaz sold his soul/next two generations of Diaz souls to the devil lol.

He’s the son of a politician, he has no soul

This is misguided. The days of blowing teams out on a regular basis are gone in college football (except Bama). All around the country, week after week, teams you think traditionally should be blowing opponents out are in tight games. We haven’t been blowing out UVA, Pitt, NC State, and UNC for 15 years. That’s not an accident. The difference between teams ranked 8-40 these days is negligible, in the sense that a team in the 30-40 range beating a team in the 8-15 range is perfectly normal. Whether we want to accept reality or not, UVA, Pitt, NC St, UNC, are solid programs with good coaching and athletic department structure that put players into the league. We will never be “destroying” these teams on a regular basis, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

I agree, and although there’s greater parity than ever for the teams ranked 6-40, there’s also less parity than ever for the teams ranked 1-5; those teams barely seem to change from year to year.

Yup. It isn't the same game it was 15+ years ago. All these teams run the same spread heavy high octane offenses with decent OCs that can score points even with average QBs. Add in all the rules favoring offense and you have a game where you need to score at least 30 points to beat pretty much anyone, even the bottom feeders in your conference.

That’s what she said

Beat me to it

 

[garysack]

So what? Who the F cares. Fire James, fire Diaz.

 

[Lokest]

Interesting development but it still stands that it's mannys 3rd year as HC and we're 4-4.

 

[PIPO]

We won much too yur chagrin it seems.

Brother, no. I just don’t want people justifying some close wins or could’ve wins as if everything is fine now and this coRch should be our leader moving into the future. It’s fools gold.

 

[ajkreider]

Easy for some teams to look good when they play in the ACC.

Sorry, but we should be destroying App State, UVA, Pitt, NC State and UNC every year.

FPI loves the SEC, not the ACC

You tell us Jorge

5 points from being 6-2 (4-0 in conference)

7 points from being 1-6 (0-4 in conference)

Previous years we’ve had everything go right in close games (2017), everything go wrong (2018), and this year we’re 50/50. Could definitely be worse but 4-4 is a representation of being a 6-2 talented team and 1-6 level coaching team.

 

[ajkreider]

Miami is going to win all the games left. It’s going to help recruiting and the portal and hopefully a new coach with a clue will want to come here and win the conference next season. It’s that simple.

As long as they can this guy and the AD this is a set up for good things. But we all know, we can’t have good things.

We will lose one of those, hopefully not FSU

 

[Macca21]

I have been so negative with this team because of the admin and the staff I just decided I am going positive. No moar losses. They are winning out. Changes will be made and the long nightmare is over!

This will not age well but F it. It’s time for some positivity. They will not lose to FSU. F that outfit.

Your brother had a sick goal in the Beanpot back in the day by the way….
