SIAP — Thank You Josh Pate

I get the logic for canceling since it clearly means nothing but that’s the opposite of what this program stands for.

If that is what ND and the SEC/Big 10 want to do… go for it.

I’d rather go up there and kick their *** again and prove that H2H means something. This time, make the scoreboard reflect what actually played out on the field. Now they can hang their hat on 3 points, when it was much more decisive than a 3 point win.

Any time, any place, any where.

Ah man, I'm getting a really bad feeling about the ZEBRAS in this game. Hope we are not being set up, but while I'm glad these folks are shouting from the rooftops like we are on this board, we are ****ing alot of people off. People that have actual connections to the folks in position to push this game one way or the other.

Its a concern. I think acc refs too incompetent to do a conspiracy though. Am more worried if the Big12-cg is close in the 2nd half that TTU lays down so they get 2 bids.

They could let Miami AND Notre Dame in.

But they'd have to drop out an SEC team.

If an SEC team gives them a reason too, they'll take it. The committee is begging for Ole Miss or Bama or OU to lose this weekend.

Or us to lose…

 

[Yoyo423]

Or is to lose…

yeah that might be #1 on their list of wishes...

Any time, any place, any where.

Not to mention I have a site visit planned for one of my company’s 3rd party storage locations up in Hammond, Indiana and I told them that i will know the date when ND and Miami finalize the date of that game because I'm coordinating it and going on the company dime.

Cant cancel it for that reason lol

 

[hurricaneman]

The greatest argument Miami will have is the 5 common games they've played:

Head to Head - Miami
NC State - Miami (41-7) vs Notre Dame (36-7)
Syracuse - Notre Dame (77-7) vs Miami (38-10)
Pitt - Notre Dame (37-15) vs Miami (?)
Stanford - Miami (42-7) vs Notre Dame (?)

If Miami has a similar showing against Pitt and Notre Dame has a similar showing against Stanford then wtf are we doing here? We played almost half the same schedule, with potentially very similar results, and we beat them head to head. That's it, that's the end of the discussion.

Is this a different Pate than the one yall hated before the season?

That must have been Pâté

Is this a different Pate than the one yall hated before the season?

Pate is by far the least hated national media guy on CIS. We hate our own media guys more than we hate him.

Andy is right except for one thing, we CAN cancel the game against ND next year. Our games this year and next year are not part of the rotating 5 ACC games that ND plays.

If we win out and miss the playoffs, Miami should at least threaten to cancel behind closed doors. Make ND up the price for us to keep the game considering the opportunity cost of giving them a “good loss” this year.

The dude is in the trenches fighting the good fight.

Listen to the first 9 minutes of this:

We've had other talking heads in our corner in the past only for our guys to fold on the field. Fair or not, until proven otherwise, there is a belief among many that this program chokes in big games, especially late and/or in postseason. Add to this the possibility of playing in very cold (for soFla) weather. If our guys show up in frozen tundra gear, ala the Sun Bowl then beware!

I got my weeks confused, so we like him this week?

lol I liked when you said something like "you cant lose 2 games in a 3 week period and expect to leapfrog a bunch of teams"

uhhh sir ND started the season 0-2. seems to be that would be losing 2 games in a 3 week period...

How about my option of both Us and USC cancelling it and scheduling each other purely as a **** You move

 

[EudocimusAlbus]

Would never happen, but can you imagine how much money would be at stake if Miami and ND just said, **** it, there will be downtime, let's just play again before the CFP and settle this **** on the field, yet again. In Mario's meathead voice - LIKE MEN! lol

 

[htownkidd]

This Brooks Austin mf is the “SEC schill” ya’ll should be gunning for. Every time I’m on twitter, he has something negative to say about UM.

 

[JustAFanHTX]

I’ve got coaching friends all over and they won’t say it out loud but behind closed doors they think Miami is getting hosed. They also see the writing on the wall. We’re toast

I keep reading all the whining about rankings but these same people forget we have a game to play on the road up north this Saturday.

Oh ****. You're right. I should have been watching film and studying the playbook. GTFOH
