Watched the last drive for the first time tonight

[go canes]

It still hurts dawg. We had it

Its hard to win a Natty. Simply cannot let one slip away. Miami needed to make one more play and we have #6

Not only can't I watch the Indiana game again I've never been able to rewatch 02 OSU loss.

For me 02 loss is its own category. To this day I’ve never watched a highlight. That team was the best team in college football the entire season. Meh.

I’ve watched many clips of the Indiana game. I’m good. Yeah it sucks because we were so close, but if you can’t take some pride and joy for how far the team got, the moments, and the run they went on, you’re missing it. Team was left for dead after the SMU game. No one thought we’d make any sort of a run, most of all Canes fans. We’ve waited decades for this team to get back to elite. Now we are. Enjoy it.

I’ll take the pain of losing a championship game over hoping we don’t end up in Shreveport for a bowl game any day of the week.

I’ve rewatched it. Makes you realize it’s truly more about the journey than it is the destination. I know that’s trite and lame. But I’m shockingly not as sick as I thought I would be. That was such a fun ride. Would’ve felt awesome to have #6 but I’ll remember that journey forever

Beck made up for some bad decisions during that long stretch of wins and showed the heart of a champion throughout the playoffs.. especially against Ole Miss and also against Indiana until that last drive. So it’s hard to say this but that last throw wasn’t the 1st time he’s made what comes off like a selfish type of decision that cost us the game. There is no reason to make that throw at that moment not even a bad one. I think Mali was open in the middle of the field, he had good protection, and we had plenty of time to go down the field.

Yea I never been so excited for Canes football in my entire life, I know we are in juggernaut mode. I am not worried I got my feet on the desk smokin and chillin, knowing that we about to **** up the whole system.

When did you start seeing sunshine? Lol

 

[CANEMC]

It's gonna take awhile before I rewatch it entirely.

 

[Torocane]

I haven't re watched it...not sure I will.
I can admit to re watching the Ohio st game over 100 times. Lol

Everyone of our losses ended the exact same way. With a questionable Beck INT that would later be blamed on a "miscommunication". Indiana ran a much cleaner operation and they didn't make stupid mistakes or have "miscommunications". That is why they are National Champions. On the 4th and 5 where Mendoza ran it in for a TD, both Bain and Mesidor said after the game that we knew it would be a QB draw. When the reporter asked them why they didn't stop it, Bain and Mesidor both said there was a miscommunication in the defense. I believe the call never made it to Mo Toure who was completely out of position to stop a QB draw as he was aligned as a safety trying to defend a pass. Again, little mistakes are costly in Championship games.

With all that, we still had an opportunity to steal that game if Beck doesn't attempt that low percentage pass into double coverage from the Indiana 41 with 52 seconds left on 1st and 10. That's all history now. Time to move forward and make 2026 about winning #6.

I promise this isn’t beck hate but i think marion said that to cover for beck. Idk what the miscommunication can be on that play

Literally at the snap of the ball their safety runs over to that side, Beck doesn’t sell it he looks right over there and under throws it. If he had more arm and anticipation he could have got it thru but it was just a bad decision he made

Exactly. Calling Beck out for what was a horrific decision is not hate, it's honesty. I genuinely appreciate Carson Beck and everything he contributed to our beloved program. However he made a catastrophically bad decision at literally the worst possible moment when he let loose that noodle armed duck that was picked off. I don't care how many of his teammates, coaches or YouTube analysts cover for him. He had absolutely no business making that throw in that situation and he darn well knows it no matter what he says to the contrary. I like the kid. I really do and it hurt me because in addition to wanting that title so badly for myself and Cane Nation, I wanted it even more for Mario Cristobal and the coaches and then I wanted it even more than that for the players who are too many to list here but included in that list would definitely be Carson Beck as I really wanted for him to go out on top with a National Championship to prove his detractors wrong and for him to be able to say F**k You to UGA. Of course I wanted it for Bain, Mesidor, Fletcher, Mauigoa, Scott, Toney and Thomas and everyone else but yeah I wanted to see Beck redeem himself in front of the entire nation but he made a decision that allowed his detractors to say "See..I told you so!" and that on top of not winning #6 at home really sucks.
