I almost rewatched the fiu game but didn't have the courage to turn the tv on. I refuse to watch L.. I'll let the coaches do that.

I do; I just like to take the emotions out of it and just see where we f’d up. Rewatching that FIU game.....it was clear one team was amped and ready to go, while the other team was ill prepared on both sides.

Hopefully this changes; our mentality that is.

Clear as day during the first watch! fiu played like their asses were on fire. We had zero energy that was on the coaching staff.
 
I’m not saying we should kill people that bring this game up, I’m also not saying we shouldn’t kill them either. But if I had to choose I’m choosing the latter.

Had the TV on in the background tonight and heard the kickoff. Was a mad scramble to find the remote before I needed a new television.

Can you burn the Flutie Hail Mary tape while you're at it? The best part about the ACC is that we don't have to see that replay every single year.

-‘86 should’ve been our title
-‘88 should’ve been our title b/c ND had no business remotely being champions
-‘94 is an asterisk b/c even though PSU went undefeated, we had a helluva schedule that we navigated through...so not sure if we held on to the lead against Nebraska if we don’t get a share of the title w PSU
-01 BCS title should’ve been ours b/c FSU had no business playing OU and we were clicking on both sides of the ball. (Ask The #6 Gators)
-03 BCS title (no need to explain this)

We are for sure missing 4 titles in the cupboard, potentially 5; but out of the 4 missing, 86 is still the biggest head scratcher. We completely got robbed in 88, 00, 03...no disputing that; but 86??? Man, that team had a chance to go down as an all time great. Smh

I seriously doubt we would have split the 1994 title even if we had beaten Nebraska. We had lost at home to a mediocre UW team by something like 38-21.

The reason why we had slim title hopes before the Nebraska game is because the Rose Bowl between PSU and Oregon occurred the next day.

Eh, no other team has been cheated out of championships by the refs twice (1988 and 2002) and had been cheated out of a third by BCS computers. (2000)

I won’t whine about 1986, since there was no controversy about that game.

In each of these instances I'd argue that we simply didn't get 'er done. Bad calls happen.

86 - Penn State
88 - Notre Dame
92 - Alabama
00 - Washington
02 - Ohio State
