You're putting WAY too much on the UF game. While we would all love to win that one, would be big for our program all around, and I actually think we will win... we can lose to UF and be just fine. What you are describing above applies to us not making it to Charlotte this year.Manny hasn't done anything. Same rah rah hype when Mork was here. Manny has his first biggest decision to make and that is choosing the QB he will ride and die with. Fans have no more patience. You got your IPF. You got the dorms. You got new expensive coaches. You got new fancy stadium. You got pipelines all over the state. No excuses. Manny needs to win this UF Game badly. Manny won't get a pass like Mork did. None of this we're still building bullshiit or look on the bright side crap if he loses to UF.
When Manny was hired, I was very skeptical at the speed with which the hire took place. I remember (Which I quickly forgot) rooting for Butch to be hired.
So you think there's still a chance?The year is 2095, Miami fans are rooting for the skeletal remains of Butch Davis to lead our football team

Nope. Can't lose to UF. UM will lose more respect and recruits. UM is not a major thing anymore. This is the reason they gave Manny the job. This is the defining moment - A championship program or more of the same. Whether u like it or not, Manny was A part of last years mess.You're putting WAY too much on the UF game.

This is exactly the same set up as the Mark Richt Show. It aired Wednesdays on FoxSportsFL, I'm sure they'll have a Manny Diaz one. Of course you'll have to listen to DBJ and Joe Z sunshine pumping the whole time....lolthose coaches shows did come on just before the games didn;t they? I think i remember them holding me over.. the anticipation as a kid in the 80s in Miami waiting for our hurricanes was rough! The coaches show would talk about last weeks game. the coach would talk over the highlights..and the show would feature one player a week in a segment.. i think the player would be in studio? and then they would talk about this weeks oponent. And pretty much all the big schools had a similiar thing going on. I remember actually enjoying watchijng the bowden ojne because he was entertaining to listen to when he'd make comments about the plays from the game the week before. I watched his show every year (the week after we played them)
We'll agree to disagree on this one, man. We "can" lose to UF, because we could still get to Charlotte and even make the playoff if we beat Clemson. If I could have one and only one right now: Beat UF or win the coastal, it wouldn't even be close. We could lose to UF (as much as that sucks) and still have a fantastic season with a ton of positive momentum. Whereas, even if we absolutely clownstomped the gator on 8/24, nobody would give a sh-t by season's end, recruiting/momentum-wise, etc, if the season ends on a dud and we don't even win the lowly coastal.Nope.

I remember that show too. It might have been called Hurricane Game Day or Countdown to Kickoff. The show I remember more was on Sunday mornings and called the Howard Shnellenberger Show. We get far more video content now, but it’s on Youtube and it doesn’t have the professional production values nor the tight editing to eliminate the boring parts.What is this Saturday pregame show you speak of?

I get what your overriding point is, Cane1835, and I'm not disagreeing with it. Like I said, you're just laser focusing too much on this one single game, IMO. Like someone said above, Vegas has them as TD+ favorites for a reason.
You are just looking at it too narrowly. Yes, immediately after week 1 the UF game will have a massive impact on national perception, good or bad. But by season's end, nobody (including recruits) will give two sh-ts that we beat florida if we end up 7-5 or 8-4 and don't win a dreadfully weak coastal this year. Theres no team in all of sports I'd rather beat than the gator but what will be considered a success for the new Manny regime is way bigger in scope than just the opener vs them.You are pointing out the obvious. UF is not in our conference. This game is about regaining national prominence. Isn't this the first game of the year on a national stage? How has UM performed in this space the last 3 years? Generally speaking: Lousy. I didn't like the Manny hire. Here is his chance to prove many of us wrong. Tell the world and recruits The U is serious. A legit contender. Lose and that stink continues.
