The Lions do not match up well with us. Suh versus Berger/Jerry is really the only matchup they might have in their favor. Best is doing better than our RBs right now. That’s pretty much it. The Packers… well, the Lions nearly beat them. I think we’ll be okay.
A quote from a Canes board that pretty much says how I feel right now. "But we should be proud we played emotionless, sound technique football. Oh, and the fact that our GPA's are so high. And that we have no arrests on the police blotter. Damn proud, regardless of a 4 TD beatdown by our biggest rival in our ****ing house. Throw up that U, even if it doesn't mean the same thing after this game that it did to people like Bennie Blades and Jerome Brown."
Hell, Tuberville has so much love and respect for this program that he'd probably walk away from Texas Tech if we made him an offer. After Coker left and things started to go a bit downhill for Tommy at Auburn, I always thought it was a gimme that he'd end up here. He actually has a strong ongoing relationship within the program for the most part. There were some rumors here and there, especially before he took the Texas Tech job, however, more smoke than fire there and that's surprising, IMO. I don't know if he can take this program back to its Championship reputation, but he'd definitely be kicking the **** out of the ACC at least.
So is Vontae Davis. And Matt Stafford is NOT scary. Dude seems to go out of his way not to connect with Megatron. The Lions passing attack is serviceable at the moment thanks to Shaun Hill. Tuberville would be an immediate improvement, but I’m not sure he wins anything here.
Sun Life Stadium is cursed...I really want one of the MIB guys to so I forget about the last 3 games played at that stadium.
If could be anyone why not Kirk Ferentz? Even though there is not a chance in hell that would happen.
Hell, zap me while you're at it. I'd happily forget about everything that has ever happened in that stadium. Sorry, Marino. No offense on the memories.
Les Miles Part of me thinks: "Well, he is a winner." The other part of me thinks: "His string of luck will run out and bury the program into oblivion."
He'd rock the **** in the ACC though.... you're right, I'm not sure if he's a championship caliber coach. He's a winner though, and we're not going to have a non conference matchup like Ohio State on the schedule on a yearly basis. Roll over the ACC and you've got a shot most years.
10 years is too long a drought for this program, let alone waiting until after Tuberville is done. I still think Jon Gruden wins a national title with the Canes in 3 years or less.
Shannon still needs to lose 2-3 more games this season for his job to be in serious consideration, IMO. Not by my own personal standards.... I like the guy, but if it were up to me I'd of replaced him a year ago. As far as 2010 is concerned it's simple to me: Win the ACC + Win BCS bowl game = stay. Win the ACC + Lose in BCS Bowl Game = maybe, but probably not. Fail to win the ACC + Get into a decent bowl game and actually win it = thanks, but bye. Fail to win the ACC + lose the Toilet Bowl again = **** OFF.
did you see tonight's game? no way they should have converted that fake FG. then there was last week...
You're not going to get an argument out of me concerning Jon Gruden whether you're talking Dolphins or Canes. I fully endorse Jon Gruden. I just don't see it happening.... financially.
Probably the luckiest back-to-back consecutive wins I've ever seen. What happened last week was more than luck though.... that was disgusting.
Shalala and Hocutt have a different scale: Win the ACC + BCS bowl game = Head Coach 4 Lyfe Win the ACC + lose BCS bowl game = 3 year extension Lose the ACC + win 3rd rate bowl game = 1 year extension Lose the ACC + toilet bowl = “the program is moving in the right direction"
The only positive of this all is that it wasn't a Coastal loss But you know UNC is gonna bring it in a couple weeks.
That is why I say they got damn lucky to win the game. Holder throws it over his head with a FG to tie Miles got the call. Gators had it
And a couple years ago with the call against Auburn to go for a TD when they were down 1 when a FG would have won it. Dude has 9 lives.
You can't talk **** because you had no faith in your team going in. You said it yourself that you wouldn't come around this weekend because you thought Miami would destroy FSU. Sorry limited fake Mel Kiper Jr. but you don't even have the right to talk trash here.
Oh dear. Someone got a beat down. And just remind me again what the score was. And LOL @ limited Fake Mel Kiper. Must really burn huh.
That is an inside joke Boom. You had no way of getting that joke, because you don't live here and listen to the Dan leBatard show. Dan has people call in as "Limited fakes" and do very brief impersonations. For example.... Guy will call in as "Limited fake Brett Favre." Dan will say: "Limited fake Brett Favre, you are on the air.." Limited Fake Favre: "Hey Dan....Check out my ****!"
This. And I think Boom's Mel Kiper Jr. impersonation is top notch, which is why I think the remark = more fitting than insulting.
