Someone asked me today "Do You Think They Have a Chance?"

[B Run]

I looked him dead in the face and said "Indiana? If they can contain Bain and Mesidor they may, but I dont think thats going to happen"

Nothing makes me happier than everyone acting like Miami is wasting their time playing this one.

When I was flying out of Phoenix, there were a couple miami fans near me at the gate. A stranger next to them said, "good game, but do you think even have a chance against Indiana? I know you're fans but let's be real here." I said, "That right there is why we are going to win this game."

I've had a few here in OKC as well. Surprisingly positive vibes for the Canes. Okies just don't think Miami has a chance.

It's funny, because at the beginning of the playoffs, Indiana was thought to be one of the most overrated teams by many fans and pundits. Nobody was giving them respect. I knew they would whip Bama, but I thought the winner of Oregon/Texas Tech would give them a challenge. Most media folks and people in general were picking Bama to whip them. I don't think anybody had Indiana coming out as the winner in their side of the bracket.

They beat a sorry *** Bama team and a good Oregon team with tons of flaws/holes and now they are invincible. Best team ever. Better than 2001 Miami and 2019 LSU. We are lucky to be on the same field as them. Woe is Miami. Can't wait until we get up 14-0 and just turn the game into a slug fest.

Took my kids to the playground today in our neighborhood and got the same question. I smiled and said we’ll see, they gotta stop our pas rush and our run game.

Okie from Muskogee,.. can Eat a Bag of D**ks or WTF ever that song is.

I got asked the same question today in Maryland lol

 

[bacane]

When asked the question by friends today. Told them, **** no. Indiana is a generational team, 23 & 24 yr old men against kids, a Heisman Trophy QB, two-time coach of the year, Big Ten pedigree & Mark Cuban money. If the game wasn’t in Miami, Canes wouldn’t show up.

 

[GreentreeAllAmerican]

I live in Ohio. Today my priest asked I how felt about their chances against Indiana.

At trader Joe's last night in Tennessee, guy says " yall gonna win"?

First, it was can Miami win in hostile territory? They gotta deal with the 12th man. Best 3rd down defense in the nation. Won that game. Now A&M ain’t that good.

Then, round 2, they only scored 10 pts against A&M. Buckeyes the best defense in the nation, Miami has no chance. How will Miami score? 14 pts and Ohio State wins. Dang near 10 point underdogs. Win that game….by 10.

Semifinals, then we’re back to the mighty SEC. Ole Miss best offense ever. Can Miami keep up? 3 point favorite though. SEC just means more. Win that game.

Went through the probably toughest gauntlet ever in CFP history and now can the Canes beat mighty Indiana. Nobody saw it coming except us fans and Nick Saban. The goal post has moved about 100 yards since the playoffs have started for the Canes. 7.5 dogs vs the up and coming 2008 Indianapolis Colts, I mean Indiana Hoosiers…

All you can say is…..Line it up and spot the ball dawg!

Sat at a poker table Friday night at MGM wearing my green Hurricanes jacket, started talking to a guy that was convinced Indiana's this amazing team because they made it undefeated out of the Big 10, which he adamantly claimed is the best conference in CFB while admitting he's a "Big 10 guy". I simply said they haven't played a team with the monsters up front and athletes Miami has...then beat him the next hand for a $400+ pot with pocket Aces over his pocket Kings.

At that point I would have calmly laid my balls on the poker table and told him to suck both of them

You was at Jojo Traders house? You weren’t able to take it were you?

 

[G Reg3rdLeg]

I’m in Dallas, and everyone here thinks we have no shot. It’s been a couple days and I’m sick of the disrespect. Cannot imagine how the coaches and players feel right now…

 

[Ispyin]

you guys are nicer than me.

"yeah you're right, no chance, that's why I am flying across the country - for an Indiana Coronation. I love to burn money and time after all"

there's your parking pass....

Good. We need more of this. More ball washing. I’ve heard multiple people mention 2019 LSU. What ******* planet are we on??

Indiana has had SIX GAMES where they were held under 400 yards of offense. Six. And another where they had 407 yards. That’s half their games!

2019 LSU had ZERO games held under 400 yards, and only three under 500 yards. These people think Cooper and Becker are Chase and Jefferson?? This **** is getting out of hand.

They’re a fine team of all 23 year olds who have been turnover merchants all year. They have ZERO games this season with a negative turnover margin. What happens if that flips next week? It’s absolutely wild to be that people think this is some generational, unbeatable football team. We are gonna push these kids all over the ******* field next week, we’re gonna punish them on both sides of the ball, and we’re gonna physically own them just like we physically owned A&M, Taint, and SMU.

But I love it. Genuinely. Keep telling these kids for the next week they have no chance. Keep telling Indiana how great they are. They’re not beating us on our home field for a ******* national championship.

 

[grover]

I hope they pour it on like they did pre-ND, pre-TAMU, pre-Taint.

It's almost like people are being baited into betting the house on Indiana.
