Looks like this Hurricane season, will become another depression. With a mangled coaching staff, a half-baked quarterback, and void of a solid running-game, the University of Thugs(i.e. see Willy Williams for details) football season will be a tainted one.
p.s. Good luck at Georgia Tech

You sound like every other hater of Miami that just wishes they could be a Hurricane. Miami will still be on of the best (if not the best) teams in the ACC. Also why are so many fans hating on the U for getting the recruits that they couldn't. Miami hasn't been thug U since the 80s.

Well it's funny, Thug U is as recent a memory for me as the SuperBowl. I hope you guys have more in your arsenal than Michael Irvin(former thug) talking about the "u" on ESPN for your recruiting endeavors. Maybe you guys can clean up that thing you guys call a stadium to attract recruits-"Rust Off" might be a good propellant to start off with. Have a good season!

I just have to say it..........FSU played 4 yrs in the ACC before we lost a conference game. Big bad Miami has lost to Clemson, North Carolina, Ga. Tech in there 1st two years in the league. LOL
Miami's heart ache is just now being felt. With Coker firing all his coaching staff things will only get worse. There are people who are meant to lead and Coker is not one of them. Ya he had 2 great seasons but that was under Butch Davis' recruits and things have only gotten sour with Coker pretending he was a head coach.
P.S. He fired the offensive Coordinator who had been there since Miami won its 1st National Title vrs Nebraska.

FSUpride,
FSU played 4 years in the ACC before they lost a conference game because back then the ACC sucked. Year in and year out, Miami beats FSU. That is all that has to be said. Miami considers a 3 loss season a terrible season, while FSU is happy with one. You should check how many championships FSU has before you start to compare them to Miami. All FSU fans just wish that they had been intelligent enough to attend Miami.canes alum said:

snortCoker. You seem to love to knock UM, but you never compare them to your school. Is that because you (like all other UM haters) realize that no other school can compare with UM's success. All the people that still call UM thug U need to realize that all the problems were in the 80s (and the majority of it was only problems with players and weed), and they have had far more success and less scandel than other programs after they cleaned up in the late 90s.

Hey canes alum,
I don't know when you graduated, but you must be up in years 'cause it seems like you have Alzheimer's! Um's success is in the rear view mirror.................. for the past 2 years Miami has finished 3rd in the ACC, and played in the Tangerine, I mean Peach bowl. Please stop looking at all your NC banners-all good things must come to an end. Your performance so far in the Atlantic Coast Conference has been abysmal considering the "powerhouse team" that you claim to be. Remember the ACC is a basketball conference. It seems like your basketball team is more competitive in this conference than your football team is. Also, when you allow players like Williams to be on the starting roster, please don't preach to anyone that your program is clean. And by the way, FSU fans are intelligent enough to stay away from that dump you call Miami.

Canes alum,
You want to speak of Conference stength? Just look at how pathetic the Big East was this year. A one team show; and just how has the ACC changed to make it tougher since FSU joined in 1992? It hasn't changed other than adding VT and scrub Miami who has finnished no better than 3rd in its 1st two years.You say ACC the was weak, I believe Ga Tech won the National title in 1990...Ya that sounds weak. Also just take a look at post bowl conference records to see what conference has the best winning percentage and you'll notice the ACC has been the most dominate in post season play for several years.Get your facts straight before you open that pie hole of yours. O ya and enjoy another sorry A$$ year in 2006 b/c Miami wont be dont shiatz.

fsuman99, you are the first FSU fan that I have ever met the could spell Alzheimer's, congrats. Conference championships are only cared about by teams that are not good enough year in and year out to compete for national championships. It's amazing that you say stop living in the past, while making such a big deal about FSU being able to be good in the ACC before any good programs were in it. About Williams, if you remember FSU was heavily recruiting him, but he chose UM. I love it how dumb asses are talking about what a terrible person is just because they chose a different program than they are fans of. I know the FSU fans do thing that Miami is a dump because you are used to town's that allow you to sleep with family members and don't understand when you are in a big city that doesn't allow it. Just go back to bed with your cousin and quit wasting people's time with your stupid posts.

FSUpride as I have said many times conferences titles don't mean shit. FSU can talk all the banners and wipe their sorry asses with them. The only thing worth playing for in college football is the national title. How many does FSU have??? 2 How many does UM have? 5
By these plan simple facts, Miami has a history of being a better program than FSU. Just because you got lucky and managed to beat us this year, don't forget that we beat your sorry asses for many years before that. I can't wait until we beat FSU in 2006 so we can remind you of your place.
FSU is full of losers that could not make it at UM.

Canes alum is pretty funny. Saying that "no other school can compare to UM's success" is a bit like saying that no other U.S. president was as successful as Richard Nixon. It's enough to make a true college football fan scratch their head and say "WTF?"

Let's take it one step further Canes alum. FSU wouldn't even have there second ring if UM didn't go on probation! And at that FSU went to three straight "UM would have stomped OU by the way" and walked away with one! Go great Bowden Go! When UM is monkey stomping FSU next year, the last six years will start coming back to them!
Notice how FSU fans are all cocky? You would almost think they didn't have five losses last season and back into a BCS. You would almost think that there going to have an O-line to protect Weathorford next year. You would almost think Jeff Bowden isn't at FSU leading there offense anymore.
UM is correcting there problems at 9-3. Whats FSU's excuse?

FSUpride, the three top teams from the Big East come to the ACC and dominate and West Virginia sticks around and goes to the Sugar to beat up on Georgia? Yeah, you make a lot of sense? The Big East was so weak.
Look at all these cocky FSU fans. You would think they didn't loose five games last year? You would think they suddenly have no O-line problems and will be able to protect Weathorford next year? You would even think that a new offensive coordinator has replaced the incompetant Jeff Bowden? And because of what? Backing into a BCS "Because when the ACC was divided of course FSU took the easy half" to go on and loose against PSU? Brag while you can! FSU will really suck next year...

Hey canes alum,
Wow, you are one of several 'canes fans that can't spell "plain" correctly! Anyhow, I just wanted to post a simple reminder that the mystique of the "u" has gone bye-bye!! With the way your team performed against LSU, I'm starting to think the "u" stands for Ugly. And how is it that we were we so dominanant in a "weak conference" to the same teams that took you to the woodshed. I think the only team that you guys haven't lost to in the ACC is Duke. You 'canes are discombobulated right now. Coker is not qualified and just fired his coaching staff to save his own arse. That's like cutting off the head to save the tail......hmmmmmmmmm. The golden years are over; get over it! Whose your daddy now?

FSUpride,
How pathetic was the Big East this year? There's more competition than in the ACC when you guys joined.
It's the first year and yet WVU wins the SB, UL, with a first time starter at QB, has to be rallied (and stomped) on by the ACC's #2 in the 4th quarter to escape and even Rutgers goes 15 rounds and loses a shootout with one of a few teams to take USC's best punch and be able to look at themselves in the mirror.
Take three of the top four teams out of the ACC (no, BC was not the 3rd best BE team) pre-VT, UM and BC and it would have had to merge with the Southern Conference.
Don't worry about the "Beast".....we have planted a new crop, we are on track and you're gonna wish you never came into our back yard to steal our "spoiled fruit". I think Swofford is ALREADY smelling the odor.

My hat is off to both Miami and Oklahoma for scheduling home and aways in 07' and 09'. That's what I'm talkin' bout. I respect this. I haven't looked at the schedules but Miami might normally play Florida State, Virginia Tech and maybe Florida (or is that always?). Now, they will add Oklahoma as another tough OOC game. That's tough. If they run the table in those years - they got my vote.
And, Oklahoma may normally play Texas, Nebraska, and I understand maybe another one with UCLA. And, to add Miami really beefs up the schedule. I think all teams ought to have at least two "High Quality" opponents on their schedules each year. This would help in determining what the "true rankings" really ought to be.
Here's how I missed it last year. Texas beat Ohio State by three points in the Buckeyes house. Ohio State lost again at Penn State. USC beats Notre Dame by three in South Bend. Can't determine too much from this - although Notre Dame would not lose again during the regular season. Now, after Ohio State soundly defeats Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl - you can start to see a different picture. Clearly, Ohio State was a better football team than Notre Dame was last year. And, sure enough - Texas would go on to beat USC likewise. The point is: when teams only play one "Marquee Matchup" (if even that) per year - it is hard to get a gauge on how good that team might really be. Anybody can get lucky and win one of these games once. But, your not gonna get "lucky" and win two of them - let alone three. By the time you win at least two solid games during the regular season (without losing) - then maybe that would easier clear the path for a possible BCS Title Game shot. I certainly would not argue against a team that had two or three notches under their belts already. I can really understand Auburn's argument from two years ago. They probably won even four or five really tough games in going unbeaten. They truly got the shaft that year.Tommie Trojan

To all FSU fans,
Look at your '06 schedule. EIGHT HOME GAMES & five of the last six at home. You end conference play on 11/11 before the ever-tough Western Michigan tilt. Granted, Florida will be tough. You guys need to get your heads out of your rear ends before you criticize anyone else. Granted the 'Canes have their share of cupcakes each year as well. But FSU benefits w/easy schedules because the NCAA & networks love Bobby Bowden & he gives them someting to converse about during FSU games!!!!!!!
Joe said:

Well Deron,
Certainly FSU at least this season has much easier schedule than normal and with 8 home games certainly the season home attendance record will be broken and FSU will certainly cash in on the additional revenue. However lets look at all the BIG Three's schedules for 2006:
FloridaH- Southern Mississippi 7-5 decent OC opponent
H -Central Florida 8-5 Up until last year considered a real doormat but this year might make the gators not be able to rest their starters for the game.
H -Kentucky 3-8 Perennial doormat and presents a good argument against this "idea" of the “mighty SEC”
A- Vanderbilt 5-6- Great academics mostly a lousy football team very comparable to Duke.
H- South Carolina 7-5- What a difference SOS makes! Gators newest nightmare. With Stevie running the show no longer can they be penciled in as a sure win every year.
H- Western Carolina 4-7- Typical “weak sister” that UF usually represents as one of the two “Lil sisters of the poor” that they have been annually scheduling since they dropped UM.Miami
H- Florida A&M 3-8- UM I guess is just trying to draw fans to (the should be condemned “dump” called the Orange Bowl?) which is a bit odd since the Orange Bowl is now played a Joe Robbie. (Oh well FAMU does have a great band which I am sure other than a guaranteed win is why they were scheduled.
A- Louisville 9-3- Part of the payoff for Louisville coming to UM a couple of years ago. This one could be a tough one for the canes.
H- Houston 6-6- More than likely due to UM joining the ACC and scrambling for someone to fill the spot, and the 12th game being added to Division One
H- Florida International 5-6- Again, another guaranteed win for UM similar to FAMU
A- Duke 1- 10- A nice patsy offered for joining the ACC kind of like Vandy is for UF.FSU
H- Troy 4-7 Clearly an easy win and not the typical OC opponent that FSU usually schedules.
H- Rice 1-10 - See above (probably due to the Texas A&M not being able to work out their commitments)
A- Duke 1- 10 - (See Miami)
H - Wake Forest 4-7- Certainly at least the level of a Kentucky. Contrary to popular belief not the “cupcake” most seem to infer.
H-Western Michigan 7-4 - Typical UF type OC opponent (probably the result of a scramble for a 12th game opponent.)
Looking at the OC schedules and the annual Conference patsies there really isn’t a heck of a lot of difference.
For those that get all “frothed up” over such things it appears that UM has the toughest OC opponent in having to play Louisville away from home.
FSU definitely has the easiest schedule of OC opponents at least for this year.
UF – Looks about normal with only USM being a bit tougher OC opponent than they normally schedule. Of course that is a HOME game as is up and coming UCF who was a real surprise last season. Not being able to count USC as a sure win anymore does make UF’s schedule tougher than it used to be.
Of course the biggest question? for state of college football fans should be why on earth with 12 games now a part of the schedule why can’t UF play UM every year?
Clearly, UF just lacks the “nads” to step up and actually act like the “flagship U” it so readily claims to be.
Sheer cowardice is not a pretty sight.
At one time UM was UF’s third oldest continuous rival.
Unfortunately, that was before the canes began beating UF annually. Bloated Gator egos just couldn’t handle that and thus the most embarrassing decision in the history of football in Florida continues to embarrass a whole state of CFB fans.CanesInfinatic said:

For the guy who said the ACC is a basketball confrence, you have lost your mind. They are definitely one of the toughest football and baseball confrences and basketball is a given. I may be mistaken, but the ACC had more teams in the top 25 for most of the season. I almost take it as a compliment that a 9-3 year means "the mystique of the U is gone". The only game that was a convincing loss was LSU. The one against FSU we had more field goal problems than Betia, Janikowski and all their other clowns in one game. Against GT an infamous horrible pass interference call costed a game. A loss is a loss so I am not going to grieve about the past, but also a fact is a fact Miami is here to stay. We have FSU in the Orange Bowl this year along with VT who is without any kind of starting QB now that Vick is gone and the other scrub got suspended. Other than those two I am not sure who to worry about. Losing to GT was a fluke and Maryland gives FSU troubles, but I don't think they can do the same against us. Coker did fires those guys to save his own job, but looking at the resumes of the guys he got, if they can mesh together you could see a very young all-around Miami team kickin' a55 and takin' names later. I would say we'd be 11-1 next year but I don't see who we'd lose to so I'm sayin' 12-0, and I'm not exagerrating.

FSU Pride,
Simply stated, "You are an Idiot". I give you that you were in the ACC 4 years until your first conference loss. However, go to the teams blogs who are in your conference and talk about that. Here we talk about 1 victory in 7 attempts.... Hmmmm..... Lets see, lets rehash your last few seasons. Na, its boring. By the way "Nice kick against PSU" HAHAHA, and dont come back with something dumb like nice showing against LSU. I had rather get my a$$ kicked by someone as to just "BLOW IT"!!!!

Ibis -
Didn't you all blow one to us last year? It doesn't make up for all of our wide left and rights (seems like 100 of them), but you all had the last wide kick. I don't understand the logic in the get your ass kicked versus losing close. It is better to go out there and look like a bunch of helpless idiots than to stay in there with a chance to win? That is an interesting comment. We got our asses handed to us by UF and I sure as hell would have rather seen them blow it with a last second miss than see the pathetic effort that we put forth on that football field. Let's face it, that effort UM put up against LSU was pathetic. If you cannot admit that then you need to get some treatment for that denial complex you have there.
The UM guy in post #20 seems to be pretty with it, maybe you should call him and chat about posting stuff that makes sense.
Our season sucked, but you guys don't have the only long winning streak in the series (although the U does have the advantage 29-20 overall). In fact, Miami has one 5 game streak and one 6 game streak. FSU has one 5 game streak and one 6 game streak. You just happen to have the most current streak. Big deal. We are tied with the largest margin of victory (47 points - Miami in 1976 and FSU in 1997). Big Deal. Miami has had the highest score in 2001 in the series of 49 points. Big deal. The only game that matters is the next one you play. The past does not mean a whole hell of a lot. I could sit here and go on and on about the 14 years in the top 4, but it does not do a bit of good for the game down in the Orange Bowl this fall. I won't waste my time. Stop wasting ours by rambling on about past seasons. Let's talk about the future and the 2006 season. At least say that you think Miami is going to hand us our asses in the Orange Bowl this year and who gives a damn about Penn State or LSU in 2005.

Everyone tries to be like UM but they cant. they try to say we are a bunch of thugs ever since we were on probation, but the fact is that we will always be a BCS champion contender every year. But not only will we be on of the best teams but we will always have the most first round draft picks in the NFL. No team can be like the U.

I like both FSC and UM, but the ACC is not the strongest conference, it's the SEC. Since 1992 when Alabama ran tackle to tackle to beat Miami, someone from the SEC has won the National Title atleast every 4 years. Bama 92', UF 96', UT 98' LSU 03' and I'm predicting UT to get back on track and compete for the title the next two years

I agree with the SEC comment, but UT back in the title hunt? No way. I think they will be a good team with Cutcliffe back, but not that good. There will be some players on the field from that top 3 recruiting class a couple of years ago, but depth is going to be an issue.

Who cares if the SEC has averaged a title every for years for the past 14 years? Miami has averaged a title every 4.6 years for the past 23 years. That stat proves that Miami's title dominance is better than the SEC's weak stat. I'm predicting the UT sucks the next two years like they have sucked the past three years!

Gatorpilot look at national championships in the past 25 years. Where is this so-called SEC dominance that all SEC supporters are claiming. The only people that reguard the SEC as the toughest conference in the U.S. is the fools that go to SEC schools. All non-SEC football fans thing that the SEC is overrated.

Tampa Hurricane the funny thing about guys like you, you lose the facts. One of the years you spoke of that UT sucked was true, the year we beat the Canes AT HOME, and your baby ass all star Winslow cried and pouted much like the Canes fans did. So before you guys claim World domination look at the facts UT killed you guys in the Sugar Bowl 35 - 7. Alabama killed you guys for their National title. I give the U props, they are and always will be a top 10 program, but they have a harder row to hoe now that they are out of the Big East. Be a real fan and give other teams credit, nothing worse than a "my team is God" attitude. When the U cracks the top 10 in ALL time wins, not just the last 20, you can thump your chest. Till then give teams like Alabama credit or UT credit, they've been winning alot longer than the Canes. Grow up Homer

Hey bringbrady, common let's be fair. It looks like the big 10, big 12, and acc lost too hunh.
West Virginia played an outstanding game against Georgia. Georgia had no idea what hit them for the whole 1st half. I still won't give Big East as a whole props though just be/c of one respectable team popping out of the wood works.

Well said, Volpimp. I remember Winslow whining like a baby. That was a good beatdown of Miami delivered by Tennessee.
Miami's titles came from a weak-ass schedule (i.e. USC) thanks to a toothless ACC roster... it's mighty tough to go undefeated in the SEC. Miami fans love to give Coker a hard time despite the fact he is the second-winningest coach in Div. I-A, but if the "U" played in the SEC they'd be a four to six loss team every year. Sorry, but that's a fact.
Welcome to reality, Miami fans.

Miami is not even in the top 20- or 50, for that matter:

On the other hand, there are 5 SEC teams in the Top 15.

In the bowl games the SEC went 3-3,and the SEC champs lost their bowl game,so it would appear that the SEC teams are no better than the other conf teams.
South Carolina lost to Missouri in their bowl game.
Missouri was 4-4 in the Big 12.
South Carolina was 5-3 in the SEC.Auburn lost to Wisconsin in their bowl.
Auburn was 7-1 in the SEC.
Wisconsin was 5-3 in the Big ten.Georgia lost their bowl.
Georgia was 8-1 in the SEC.
West Virginia was 7-0 in the Big east losing only to V-tech 34-17.
If you look at the stats the SEC is no more likely to win a non conf game than any other conf.VOLPIMP said:

You're right Bring Brady Back, the SEC isn't the powerhouse they have been in the past. I would compare them closely to the Big 10, you guys beat up on each other much like we do in conference play, and we both have teams that schedule weak non conference teams. Overall it's damn tough for ANY team to go undefeated, no matter the conference. The ACC is alot tougher now, Big East has lost alot. Big 12, Pac 10 are tough, and the Big 10 shuffles between Michigan, Ohio St, Wisconsin, and Iowa leading the pack. Other than USC and Texas nobody else really dominated last year and they both showed weakness too. It's wild, Tennessee sucked last year, yet still managed to upset LSU, who then massacred Miami. Then we lost to Vandy...You never know, that's why they play 'em. I hate people who are ignorrent and claim their teams greatness even when they have no stats to back it up. I love the Vols, I don't cosider us a top 20 team right now. Some fans can go 7-5, no offense Brady, and still talk smack about their school being the sh*t. We went 5 - 6, I'm not saying crap! Bottom line, if your team isn't the reigning National Champ shut it! The 98 Vols or the Canes of the 80's don't mean squat this year! Until Texas loses they have the bragging rights.

And just for the record, Miami whipped us pretty good at home the year before we beat them and Winslow broke down. Funny thing though, the Canes fans I partied with at the game were cool as hell, which supports the theory that we all have retards rooting for our schools who are clueless and ride the bandwagon. Great teams and great fans recognize greatness in teams other than their own.

I don't know nole4life, we have fell off here lately. When you look at the SEC East it's been Florida's to own pretty much, we won a few titles, and so did UGA but nobody else has even come close. In the West at least LSU, Bama, Auburn, Arkansas and Miss St have won their division and played in the Championship game. And some of these yahoos in here do have a good point about bowl games, we haven't done well against the better non conference teams. My opinion (which means squat before the talifans crucify me, props to EDSBS for the word) the ACC this year will be the toughest, Big 12 a close 2nd, Big 10 and SEC close together. Lower conferences like the MAC are coming on hard and beating alot of the big boys. This will always be argued, myself I don't put too much stock in it, sure I think the SEC is top 3, I'm biased. As long as some football is on I'll watch damn near anything. Regan #55: Thanks, made that up in an alcohol induced trance I think, or heard it and forgot it until now. Early picks for National Champ anyone? I'm going with LSU, if they get solid QB play they will be hard to stop, close second Oklahoma (gasp) for the same reasons listed above.

Volpimp, very well-reasoned and informed post on your part. I like your attitude towards other teams and not being a homer to a tedious extent like so many fans are (i.e. that Hurricanes fan who frequents this site who is a complete tool when it comes to anything related to his team.) I agree that LSU looks tough. Despite the fact that they're not listed in the pre-season hypezines as being MNC contenders, the FWAA (football writers' association of America) overwhelmingly chose LSU as their favorite to end the 2006 season at #1. I'd like it to be Florida, but on paper LSU has more weapons right now. Jamarcus Russell looks like a monster, too. We will see how the teams fare when the season starts as all the pre-season talk is just that, talk.
I will be in Knoxville for the UF-UT game. I think Florida will be favored but we know this will not be an easy game to win. UT is consistently good year in and out, and last year was an aberration. I know for a fact that none of us expect you to have a year like that again anytime in the near future.

No offense to my esteemed Seminole friends, but I hope you folks are ready for the 'Canes come Labor Day. The terrible loss to LSU has hung over Miami for months now, on practice fields, message boards, recruiting sites, and everywhere else. It is a really frustrating situation we aren't used to and sticks in our craw...
We're all looking to see the 'Canes take out all that frustration on the next team - not just the LSU loss, but the fact we didn't get a rematch last year by dropping the ball against GT.
If the 'Canes are focused in any way, it might be a long night for FSU...
If not...errr...not gonna go there :)
Either way, I'm just itching to get the season underway!

Canes Alum,
I'm not so sure that just because the URL for FSU is the same for some of Tampa Hurricane's means that FSU i definetely posting under Tampa's name. Tampa could have easily posted stuff under his own name only changing the URL to the one FSU uses trying to make him look like a jackass. If you look at the URL for nole4life you'll notice its the same as FSU's, so it's not impossible to use someone else's URL.

AU03 way to throw in a slanted fact. That database you list is for alltime wins. Miami didn't have a program until the 70s and it wasn't a major program until the 80s. Why don't you look up the wins since then to see that in fact Miami is a winning program.

Thanks Gatorpilot, and you're right, hard to find objective fans. Not kissing up but I have the Gators on my list of dark horse Champions. If you guys O line pans out you have all the tools for a run. I agree with your Vol assessment, hopefully we will bounce back, one of us needs to take back the East from the Dawgs. Never thought I'd see a season like that in Kville but maybe that was the wake up call we needed. Wish I was going to the game, we could hook up and drink a beer or twelve. I'll be at Homecoming the next week, I live in Western Tn and have a new baby boy, so games will be tough to make this year. Gotta say I would like to visit The Swamp sometime, it's on my lifetime to do list, not wearing Vol orange though! Might watch you guys play a neutral team so I can wear blue and do the Chomp with a clear conscience!The Big House, Swamp, UGA, FSU and the Orange Bowl are my five stadiums that I have to see before I get too old. Add ND and Nebraska to that. Funny thing about College ball ie; pre season, you never know who may step up and have the season of a lifetime and win it all. I never thought we would in 98, someone like Iowa could take it all. I'm excited to see how Ole Miss does with Schaeffer at QB, he might be just what they need to get them straight.I honestly look for the Gators and LSU playing for the SEC, nobody expects us to challenge so we might sneak in there, Auburn could do it in the West.

Gatorpilot on paper just about every program has more weapons than UF. UF has a second string QB at just about any other major college, and a coach that doesn't realize his gimic plays won't work against the larger conferences. Like usual, UF will finish in the middle of the SEC.

Volpimp: Hey, you're welcome in G'ville. We have some Vol friends that came down to tailgate with us in '03 (yeah... Casey Clausen directed the band at the end of that one) but were VERY nervous about the dreaded Swamp. They commented afterward that they were treated with kindness and respect at every turn. We are very hospitable to the opposing teams' fans as we appreciate folks who are passionate about SEC football. Come and join us in '07, you'll have fun and want to come back, I promise. You're more than welcome to tailgate with us (we do it in style!!) However, don't get me wrong, during the game "it's on!" The same folks commented that they couldn't believe how animated and, well, loud Florida fans are. It's about double the volume and intensity of a Doak Campbell game and quadruple or quintuple that of a Miami home game (they don't even sell half the seats for their games it seems, while every game in the Swamp is a sellout.) I haven't yet watched a game in the flesh in Knoxville, though my dad has twice. Says the stadium is amazing. Can't wait to see for myself in September.
It will be a tough one for Florida but it will be fun for all to watch, I'm sure. Take care!

VOLPIMP,you said you live in Western,TN.Are you anywhere around a city called Jackson?Some of my friends,college and NFL have told me this town turns out quite a few NFL players.I did some searching and found some good players.Al Wilson,Artis Hicks,Jabari Greer,Trey Teague,and Ron Dixon.Three of these guys I thought were from Nashville,but they hail from Jackson,TN.Ed(too tall)Jones as well.I'm a 3 year Ex-SEC tailback going into coaching this fall and am scouting talent as I have time.I'm hearing a buzz about a kid from Huntington,TN named Chris Donald.He is a linebacker.The word is this kid is the sh*t.I hope I spelled the city name correctly.Do you know anything about him??I agree with your SEC picks 100%.Florida/LSU in SEC Champ Game.Auburn will be stout this year,but I see LSU gettin it done!Tenn should be much-improved this season as Coach Cut is back up on the Hill.I see Tenn going 9-3,8-4 at worst.IF,and this is a big if.Coach Cut can settle down Erik Ainge I see 9-3 with a decent bowl game.On the flipside,we don't need to go there.Sept 2nd TENN-28 CAL-27.The Swamp is off the chain.I've played in that stadium and it is LOUD!!You can wear your Vol orange.The Gator fans are all good G.It doesn't need to be on your lifetime to do list though.You have a new baby.That's what life is G.I never had a dad coming up so you and your son are lucky.Congrats on your new baby boy!You are blessed.I'm out.HOLLA

I don't think Miami will be much of anything this year. I will be surprised if they make it to a bowl. It certainly will not be the typical rivalry between these 2 teams. I don't know, it just seems to me when you fire 4 of your top coaching staff that have helped get you into bowls for the last 10 or something years then you might be putting yourself in a rut. Florida St. will shut Miami out. Call it a bold statement.
24-0. Okay, I'll brace for shock on that one. Miami fans hit me with your best shot.

Mooka...man you must be smoking some good shit. Predicting that Miami won't even make a bowl game, what are you thinking??? At the ACC pre-season meeting, Miami was predicted to win their conference and defeat FSU in the ACC championship game. I admit it, Miami will not be as good this year as they have in the past (no national championship dreams), but they are still going to be good enough to make a BCS game. Also, have you ever watched a FSU/UM game? There is no chance FSU is going to be scoring 24 against Miami!

Oh, now Miami lost 2 key starters! Miami ain't scoring 17 points. I'll be generous if I give them 3. My only question is was this a good call from the Miami perspective? How do the Canes feel about Coker? IS he making changes for better? We'll find out. 4 top coachs fired; 4 top players suspended. Maybe at least he'll pick up the discipline in the program. People now know he ain't playin.

Gatorpilot thanks for the invite, maybe things will work out and I'll be down there next year. You enjoy your trip to KTown. A little inside advice...eat at Krystal before the game...the food sucks, like any other Krystal, but the Vols are undefeated when I eat there before a game! When the Canes came to town I ate at the Orange Mc D's...end of story! T - Mac, I live about an hour North of Jackson in Martin, TN. Home of Chad Clifton and Justin Harrell, Will Offenheusle too. I am familiar with the Jackson area, alot of talent there. Most people overlook Northwest Tn for players and go straight to Memphis. There is a ton of talent in our area. I am familiar with the Donald kid from Huntingdon, he is the real deal right now, alot of talk about him. Huntingdon has a top notch program lately, along with Milan, Martin-Westview, Bruceton and two or three Jackson schools you see alot of guys go to Div 1 schools. I feel you on the family thing, I have two sons Peyton Elijah, and Knox. Eli's fast but not interested in sports just yet, he's hell on PS2 though. Knox is the hottest new recruit available at the moment, he can drink a 4 oz bottle in about 3 minutes, unofficial time of course. He like watching me and the crew on NCAA 07 so there's still hope for him and the pigskin. Maybe if your coaching gig works out you can give him a look in about 16 years.

Canesfan anyone who says the ACC isn't stronger with Miami is crazy, the Canes would strengthen ANY conference. Don't leave Va Tech out of the mix though, they were just as strong an addition as Miami. The ACC is much like the SEC now, your bitterest rivals are now your conference rival as well, and with a Championship game to be played now it makes the stakes even higher. Lose to your rival and you will likely miss the Championship, makes the FSU / Miami match up that much bigger. Neither the ACC or the Big East had the pop that the ACC now has. If the Canes fans think they will dominate the ACC like they did the Big East I think they will get a big surprise. Not knocking you guys but there are more top tier teams with you guys and Va Tech in conference now. Like the SEC, you will see fewer teams go undefeated in your conference now because conference play involves some of the best teams in the country. I would feel better about a one loss Miami team that wins the ACC Championship game than an undefeated Cane team in the Big East.
I've seen Tennessee not make it to the SEC championship game and actually end up in a better bowl than if they had made it and lost. That Conf Championship Game holds alot of weight if you win or lose it.Tampa Hurricane said:

If this is what the "NEW STAFF" is going to produce then it will not be long before it will be a "NEW COACH". Just look at the last series before the interception was painful. FSU is the better team!

Miami has been awesome in the past(producing way more nfl players than fsu) but will not be good until Coker is gone(motivation factor completely sucks). And just the fact that FSU lost to clemson this year is humiliating. As long as players think they're gonna win games just cuz they go to UM or FSU, and don't have to put forth any effort, both teams will suck ass to say the least.
