this is where i am at. i expect to lose. sad but that is what the last 20 years has done to me. other than notre dame we havent pulled off a win that matters in a long time.

that said i know we can win this game. it is not like A&M are world beaters. plus:

not a night game
home game
no wind
short walk to the stadium
we are wearing orange

Maybe we can block their bus outside the stadium gates for a longer walk to the stadium... where are the Blue lot guys when we need them??

....every little bit helps.

Life advice for a Canes fan:

Go into the game expecting to be blown out and you will be somewhat content when they only lose by 2 TDs.

Ignore any scenario that looks promising or might favor the Canes.

No, we will remember last season. That's the year Texas A&M went 5-7. :unsure:

I am not calling out that we can't beat Texas A&M, I am pointing out that the OP listed out several examples of Mario getting his teams up for big games but conveniently ignored all of last year when we were certainly not up for any games. Obviously it's a new year, new players, new coaches, etc but I always think it is funny when people cherry pick examples that fit their narrative and don't even address the ones that don't.

That was Diaz" team........not Cristobals.........when you have to bring in 41 new players, you never had a team anyway..........look on both sides......this is his now.
As far as getting the team up..........Mario has the juice.......he just has to bring in some hyper powered Cafecito prior to game time.....just after warmups......we ready

I always go in expecting a loss no matter who the opponent is. This is what happens when you lose to teams like Duke, La Tech, FIU, Middle Tennessee State, Ga Tech, Virginia, etc. over the last 15 plus years.

The fun part is, Week 1 was the kinda game for Mario to prove the stigma that he doesn't beat up on worse teams.

All his team did was beat up a team so badly, they did yoga for recovery days later

Yep! How it should be. When opponents get their OOC schedule and see that :neonu: logo on it, I want their reaction to be...

We haven’t won an out of conference game against a P5 school since Notre Dame in 2017, going 0-7 with an average defeat of 32-16 since then. Im squarely in the “show me” category. I think we have a decent chance but it’s guarded optimism at best lol

If you want reason for optimism and what is different than last season, take a look at the 5 large men who we line up across the line of scrimmage on the offensive side of the ball.

They are night and day different than what we lined up at those spots last season, especially towards the end of the year.

Like...a massive strength vs an incomprehensible weakness.

Perfect post.


We can absolutely beat them but we could of beat them last year also.


Mario isn't known as some big game coach but if you choose certain wins it can look that way.
