He brings up very good points and is probably being generous.

8 straight weeks of games is difficult for any elite roster, let alone a rebuilding one. For context, Clemson's 2d bye is 25 Oct.

Except for last year, how many seasons since 2001 has Miami matched the end of season record with the expected pre-season record?

Zero.

That is also a factor that needs to be considered in tbe body of work.

How players and coaches have performed before they were in their current positions, including some instances of not even being alive, has absolutely zero bearing on a singular thing for this season.

New team entirely, new expectations, TBD on outcome. Last year means nothing. 2006 means nothing.

Agreed.

But organizationally it does indicate everything.

This sums it up right here👇



Different players, different coaches, different "team" rosters, yet the consistency of underachieving is ever present. Catastrophic atmospheric.

Like yourself and everyone, I want Mario and these players to break that cycle. It's disappointing to even keep having to have the conversation over and over.

Go Canes. Again.

We don't leave the state of Florida for 8 games so that is a schedule positive.

Also VT stinks so dont think that game is that tough, but Pittsburgh will be good this season. The cold doesnt concern me that is overplayed, Miami is 6-1 in their last 7 trips to Pittsburgh. We actually play very well there.

The last time I went to Pitt was 2017. I'll be sitting this one out

Yeah that is one team we consistently beat.

The past means nothing, anyone who makes predictions based on the past has no ability to evaluate this team. This team is a new team and I wish people would finally let go of the past and just evaluate this team for what they are, which is a very talented team. Will they do it this year, no one knows until they do but trying to say they won’t do it because a team in 2008 didn’t do it makes no sense.

That prediction range is entirely useless. The more interesting part is that the midpoint was just over 9 games. So either 9 or 10. This board would be okay with 10 if it meant we made the playoffs. But would MELT DOWN at 9 since we almost certainly don't make the playoffs in that case. So essentially 1 game probably determines how everyone on here will feel about Mario.

College football media is the worst. Nowadays, most of the media are outright or quasi SEC employees or SEC independent contractors including Pate. To acknowledge this team for what they are means to acknowledge Mario has rebuilt this program into a top 7 program talent-wise and coaching staff-wise. And, that this program is in better shape than even Georgia.
