Posted Friday January 09, 2009, About: Miami upholds Marve restrictions
Man, as much as it pains me, I have no choice but to agree with a Hurricane on this one.

I originally thought UM was classless in not allowing Marve to transfer to USF or UCF. Then it was brought to my attention that UM plays USF next season and beyond. Fair enough. Then if the kid wants to be close to his dad because of the cancer issue, then UCF should be a valid option, and Miami should allow it.

Well, Miami doing something we're not familiar seeing them do: they exhibited class. UM ended up lifting the ban on not just UCF, but also on USF, even though the two schools play each other. With USF being in his dad's backyard, that seems like the most logical choice for a kid who wants to be with his ailing father.

Yet lo and behold, we see Marve getting bent that he can't go to TN or LSU! But wait, I thought the idea was for him to be closer to his sick dad? Why would Marve get mad about that, now that he's been given the green light to transfer close to home? I'm sorry, but that story stinks to high heaven.

Geez, you Gator homers are something else. Teabag could shoot up a busload of schoolkids and you Gators would say that the little snot-nosed punks had it coming to them.

He'll be a bust. He's way overrated as it is now.

Why can't he go to USF, in Tampa? Miami doesn't play them.

Posted Friday December 12, 2008, About: Why Spurrier won't take Auburn job
Oh, please. SC fans hated Spurrier when he was at FU, but now they love him. Auburn would be the same way. Not that it matters, though, because it isn't going to happen.
Posted Thursday March 20, 2008, About: Will State ask Paterno to retire?
As a Florida State alum and fan, I wish JoePa would retire...so Bobby Bowden will go ahead and retire. I'm convinced the reason Bowden has stuck around is because of the all-time wins record, and as long as Paterno is on his heels and/or poised to pass him up, BB will keep pacing the sidelines, oblivious to what's happening on the field.

Joe, please hang it up...so our coach will, too.
Posted Thursday December 20, 2007, About: Will FSU's Bowden lose wins?
I'm as big a Nole fan as they come (and as such, I get a kick out of Canes fans pointing fingers at ANYONE for doing anything "dirty"). However, if these players are deemed to have been academically ineligible, then yes, we should forfeit the games. Period.

New coaches poll is out: LSU is #2. All of the "experts" are predicting it's an OSU-LSU title game. We'll see for certain tonight.

If true, then I'm lookin' like a friggin' genius from what I said all this week, i.e. that if WV and Mizzou lost, OSU could likely be playing LSU for the title. Many of you thought I was off-base. Howdoyalikemenow? ;)

Watching USC fans poormouth LSU is hilarious, when one considers that USC lost at home to freakin' STANFORD! Stones and glass houses and stuff.

GABoy, you are right: if TN beats LSU, WV loses, and Mizzou loses, then your Dawgs will indeed be playing the Luckeyes for the title. If LSU wins, though, you're going to have to rely on the charity of the pollsters...which could very well happen.

BTW, I agree with every single one of you who are offended by Miles' "haven't lost in regulation" line. Where I grew up, we called that "polishing a turd"! LOL!

Cease fire for a sec, Fornacis and UGa fans!

Like I said, you can make arguments for and against each of your teams (and both of you have done so). In my view, you should never play for a national title if you can't even win you're own conference. I also acknowledge that right now, UGa is red hot! I mean, they beat Auburn and FL by MUCH wider margins than LSU did. By the same token, LSU crushed a strong Virginia Tech team, and unlike UGa, they DID beat South Carolina. So yeah, arguments both ways.

But where I have to completely disagree with UGa fans here is their contention that LSU would NEVER jump UGa in the polls if LSU beats (especially creams) a TN team that put a beatdown on GA. They very well COULD jump GA if that happened. Like I mentioned earlier, UF jumped an idle Michigan last year because UF won their SEC title game over a solid Arkansas team. So if UF can jump an idle Michigan, then LSU COULD jump an idle GA team. DISCLAIMER: "could" does NOT mean "would". In other words, the pollsters, and NOT us fans, would decide.

I do happen to think it'll all be a moot point, i.e. WV will beat Pitt. But if not, then the SEC title game COULD determine the BCS #2 team.
Posted Wednesday November 28, 2007, About: Georgia BCS talk bugs Miles
I agree with all of you who say WV won't lost to Pitt. However, this has been a crazy season, so it's not certain. Likely, yes...nearly a lock, yes...but certain, no. See "Appalachian State" for details.

"Should Missouri and West Virginia both lose, Georgia will be in line with Ohio State for the National Championship."

That's not necessarily true. LSU could (not "definitely WOULD", but "could") jump UGa in the BCS polls with an impressive win over TN. How? Just ask Florida.

Last year, FL was ranked #4 going into the SEC title game. The same day, #2 USC lost. Most people thought that #3 Michigan would move up to #2. But since Michigan didn't play that day, and since FL did play (and won the SEC title game), the pollsters moved FL up to #2. That was good enough to get them into the BCS title game.

The same thing could happen this year. If #1 Mizzou and #2 WVU both lose, then #3 Ohio State would move up to #1. The only question would be if the pollsters would be impressed enough by an LSU thumping of TN to move LSU up over top of UGa, like they did with FL over Michigan last year.

We can argue all day over who is better right now, LSU or UGa. We could argue over who deserves to play OSU if the above scenario unfolded. But we can't argue that the possibility exists that LSU COULD sneak into the title game.

Of course, if LSU loses to TN (and the way both teams are playing right not, that's not a stretch at all), then the point becomes moot.

You're right, Sparty. We should just fold the entire football program. it was fun while it lasted.

Posted Thursday October 04, 2007, About: Saban takes shot at South Florida
With those idiotic comments, Saban was able to do something that no one else has been able to do: unite (even if only temporarily) Seminoles, Gators, and Auburn fans! :-D
Posted Wednesday August 08, 2007, About: ACC split on Miami's gun ban
I am as firm a supporter of the Second Amendment as you will find. But to me, a coach can require his players act, walk, talk, etc., a certain way, any way that the coach wishes.

If the coach says "You will wear suit and tie to the games", that's the way it is. If he says "You will not eat pizza during football season", so be it. If he says "You won't own a gun while you're in school", it's his way or the highway.

I may not like his reasoning, but I support his right to run his team as he sees fit.
Posted Thursday July 12, 2007, About: Hurricanes QB job up for grabs
I'm a big Noles fan (and former student from 92-96). I'd like to see both FSU and Miami return to the nation's elite. I don't like Miami, of course, but I always liked the rivalry. The last few years (even with our two wins recently) just haven't been the same.
