I rarely make threads on gameday but I’m hoping this calms some folks down. Maybe not tonight, but tomorrow. We’re all emotional, that’s normal. We all wanna kill everyone, especially FSU. That’s normal.

But winning is really hard, every single week. Don’t believe me? Go to a UGA board. Go to a ND board. Go to an Indiana board. Go to a Bama board (good luck there). Go to a Texas board. Think any of those dudes would take a double OT win tonight? Me thinks so.

Remember boys and girls, the best team OF ALL TIME needed Mike Rumph’s knee and Earnest Wilford’s butterfingers to win all their games. TWO DIFFERENT GAMES, were basically 1 bounce from going the wrong way. And that was the best team ever with 500 NFL Hall of Famers. It’s **** hard to win every single time you play. When you’re Miami, and you’re a Top 5 team, you get everyone’s best shot. Every week. A team can make their whole season just by beating you.

But you know what? 6 teams have tried this year. NONE have.

I’m not saying have zero concerns. I’m not saying plan a parade. We have a long way to go. But winning every single game is hard as ****. That’s not a cliche. There’s a reason almost nobody does it every year. Indiana is the only team who did last year. How’d that Penn state game for them? Penn state was ***. They needed a borderline miracle catch. We were 1 drive from beating them. But they won, because that’s what good teams do. We have a really good football team. ****, Taint won a natty two years ago and lost TWICE. It’s not 1993 anymore.

And just remember, as cranky as you might be tonight, when you wake up tomorrow, your Miami Hurricanes are the #1 team in America. The last time we could say that? December of 2002. 2002! 24 years ago. Many of yall weren’t even alive, I’m sure.

Acknowledge that we have things to fix. That’s cool. But also, we get 12 of these a year. We wait 353 days a year, to be able to do this for 12 of them. I’ll be damned if I mope and kick my dog after we win.

Celebrate this team. We’ve come a LONG way since the myriad embarrassing loses we’ve had in the last 24 years. We have a long way to go. But we’re the AP #1 team in America. Go watch film, practice, and get better. But love that we won. Because it’s ******* hard to do week after week after week.

Go Canes.

1-0.

Do it again next week.
 
exactly correct. it doesn’t mean there aren’t concerns. it doesn’t mean that we stop worrying about the weak points of this team. it certainly doesn’t mean this team is going to win it all. but winning every game in modern college football is unbelievably hard. it took a miracle last year for IU to beat an unranked penn state team that had fired their head coach.
 
Finally my boy with some levity and common sense. We have one of the best teams in the country. You know what’s awesome FSU had almost everything go their way and still
Didn’t win. They have talent too, so does Pitt, so does every team we play. And all that this team beat them by 50 so we should be beat them by 40 throw tht **** out the window. Ask Texas how that logic works. Every game is different from the next. These kids are real human beings with emotions. Coming off an emotional win and them going on a bye sucks. Look what happened to us last year against Louisville. 1-0 I think this will make us a better team buckle up .
