w/o JA or Quez, it ain' gonna make a lick of difference.....they're going to blitz like nobody's biz and run with the occasional lob over our secondary.....if we keep it within 14, it will be a moral vic with hop-a-long one foot closer to the door going into '20....

there's not a school with a functional athletic budget that would have left him in place to corch this game...

I'm out until Hop is gone.....I'm done with Bower 2.0.....

CUSA needs these three games as W's just to get up to .500 in bowl win %. FAU looked good in their win, but a couple of our teams have looked grossly unprepared for their bowl game.

NY6? Miami was much closer to not making a bowl game than being a ranked team much less a NY6 contender.

They have talent according to recruiting sites, but a consistently solid team they have not.

Actually, Miami Hurricanes are about 4 plays from a 10-2 record and a shot at a NY6 bowl.

They were also two plays away from being 4-8...

They were 6-6, stop trying to pump them up to feel good about the loss. The transparency is blinding.

Miami Hurricanes are way more talented and a better team than App. St.

What loss? App State is a team I do not give two craps about! Had they played Miami, they would lose 9 times out of ten.

Exactly what two plays separated Miami from going 4-8? Did you just look at their schedule and decided that the two close games were one play from flipping?

Miami 41
La Tech 24

Your choice old friend, but that includes if Hop turns it around also, right?

I think UNC would disagree.

Game Day! Time to go to work.

Miami is a better team than UNC. They lost at UNC by missing a game-ending FG (one of those four plays that separated Miami from a NY6 bowl)

This post is about LA Tech fans attempting to prop up Miami as a top 25 team to make yourself feel better win or lose. Miami in 2019 was a below average P5 team that finished 5th in the weakest P5 division of the weakest P5 conference. That isn’t spin, those are results. Good luck to them today, go get that P5 scalp.

But don’t post how weak other P5 wins are all season and thump your chest about a 6-6 Miami team.

Very strange still waiting for WKU to play in a bowl game....

This below average P5 team has defeated a ranked team, and took a Top 10 team within one play of another victory. This team was 4 plays away from an NY6 bowl.

And you know what, I am annoyed for having to appear in support of Miami, the team I hate more than most other teams.

Why the heck are JA and Quez out? Is there some coach vs players spats happening in the locker room that are hurting us this year? It's weird the way some of our coaches communicate on Twitter...you would think they are teenagers. Side note: our recruiting sucks...I thought that was going to be a strong point with Hop...it is not.

You can dissect every teams season and spin it. Miami consistently did not make plays in most games they played and finished 10th in the worst ACC in recent memory. You are what your record says you are.
