The Turning Point

[RVACane]

Imagine talking about Butch Davis in 2022.

Imagine going on another board and asking them to bring you gator tears.

Imagine talking about Butch Davis in 2022.

Imagine praying to Butch Davis before going to sleep and thanking him when you wake up in the morning

Now we have the 1998 comparisons again.

We have never, ever, heard that one used before.

There is a moment when a program turns the corner. This team needs that more than ever and this Saturday there is an opportunity to make that happen. I remember in 1998 getting boat raced by Syracuse, only to knock off an undefeated UCLA the following week. In a lot of ways, that was the turning point for Butch and Miami.

Losing to MTSU is bad enough, but if there was a silver lining, it could be the embarrassment of that loss that created a positive change within the program.

If we beat UNC on Saturday, it's not like beating a top 10 team, but it's a team that has been a thorn in our ***. We would be 1-0 in a conference that is begging for us to win. It could spark momentum and a winning streak which would hopefully carry over to recruiting.

With all the negativity lately, it would be a pleasant surprise to see a well prepared Miami team this Saturday that performs at a high level. We all need to see it to believe it and I'm truly hoping we get a glimpse of Miami kicking *** again.

Well son, I'll tell you ... your optimism springs eternal.

Within 3 seconds of beginning to read this I remembered this team is littered with guys that got worked over in a bowl game by La Tech.

I'm done with all the guys that lost that game.

 

[SayWhat]

No he wasn't at all. Butch was 100% responsible for that NC...Butch was responsible for EVERYTHING good from 95-2004....once his kids left in 2004, everything after, wasn't his responsibility anymore...Period.

So we can start blaming Mario post 2025 or 2026? Asking for a friend.

100 percent responsible? Nobody but him. Those were his kids, while he scooted out the back door. Some, recruited while he was here, arrived on campus after he left, still his.

No credit for anyone else, just Botch. Got it.
