That's what I thought. Just because you picked two upsets (that I also picked--big fargin whoop) doesn't make you a football genius...and it doesn't make me wrong in this instance either. </div></div>
Maybe not, but until they invent a 20 point play, Miami had NO CHANCE to beat UF on Saturday...bad call or not. Cry about it a lil more won't ya.</div></div>

Why would they have needed a 20-point play down 9-3 had that call gone the way it was supposed to go??? That's the simple point you're still not getting at all.

Conceding any point on this call to me means that the <u>SEC Officials</u> got this one wrong. I don't expect to change your mind--I know your motivations here.

I'm ready for an undefeated show down in week 5 [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

My take on it? When you invest your time and money into something,it does become "We". I get down the road for saying "We" too,but you don't have to be an alum to say it. You pay your money to see them,spend your money on merchandise..etc. Schools have to have that revenue to survive,and all of the "We's" like us make that happen. If alums were all that were allowed/welcomed in the stadium,there'd be no game [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif[/img] But the coolest part of it all is that we really don't have to justify shat to anybody (their problem,not ours)


As for the ECU upset over VT? That was a common pick. ECU was coming off an 8-win season with everybody back,and the Hokies were away from the friendly confines of Lane.

WOW! have you been that impressed with Georgias first 2 games?? I know the votes of the AP Poll sure havn't while dropping Georgia a spot and moving Florida up a spot with our 2 victories. And you of all people should know that a Georgia victory over Florida don't happen all that often, your 1 victory every 10 years or so has already happened this decade.

My lock pick of the year actually was Fla beating Georgia. I would about bet the farm on that game.
I'm still twiddling my thumbs waiting anxiusly for the BAMA / GA game week 5. The overtime thriller last year left me heart broken, and I have been waiting patiently for a year now.

I was offered an academic scholly to go to UM, but decided to stay near home--so I do have a small connection there. I wanted to go, but did not want to get into a financial hole for me or my family, because even with schollies--it's still an expensive private school. I was not good enough in football or any other sport to strap on a pad, swing a bat, or shoot a jumpshot for any of Miami's teams. I understand that completely.

But you know what? I have several other ties to Miami. I've followed them for over 20 years of my life, and I've been loyal to that team as my favorite college football team for that long. It's yielded me some life-long friendships, the joy of watching 5 national titles being won in my lifetime (not counting the 4 baseball titles in my lifetime either), and I've met many players and their families who have shown me nothing but the same love they show their own--just because I support the U. That to me, is enough. If it's not enough for you, then I don't have to justify it to you, and you wouldn't understand it anyways.

I may not be a player or an alumnus, but I am for damn sure a Cane, and if you don't understand that--well, there's plenty of other Canes that do understand it--and that's what matters to me.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">All that aside, the moral of what I was trying to say is you jumped sup-rbeast for being one sided to the SEC, when you word things as if you honestly think you were apart of the Miami team...Come on now, that ain't clownin, thats just a crazy accusation... </div></div>

sup-rbeast will even tell you he's an SEC homer. Love the dude as a poster--he knew that was a jab at him for something he's known for, and I don't think that "angered" him. He'll go overboard to defend the SEC in any way at all. It's not a bad thing, but it did explain his reaction to me talking about the SEC officials blowing a call for one of their golden children in UF...so I called him on it.

Besides--what personal & binding ties do you have to the Red Sux or Clemple anyways? Play for either one? Work for the Sawx organization or take classes at Clemson? I'd guess not...it's possible the classes at Clemson, but the rest--no.

Speaking of pot/kettle.... </div></div>

speaking of the pot kettle what????
I'm not the one saying everyone else is only looking at one side???? You said suprbeast was being one sided for the SEC, all I was saying is ..... And your not one sided????

your the biggest one sider on here, luv ya as a poster, but if it involves the canes, you only see it one way...

As for the alumni or player thing, i can choose to disagree, that is just an opinion thing, its no fact in stone or nothin...No I don't think Beast has the same "We" feeling as Peyton Manning when talking about the Vols, even though he has a big UT tatt on his leg...But that being said, I dont even feal that Peyton went down to UCLA last week, so he shouldn't say "WE" got beat, it is UT got beat....Just an opinion, no right or wrong way to see it, just shows how far one might be one sided towards something..

just as he does with Duke come basketball season

[sup-rbeast]

Just for the record: I SAID FROM THE BEGINNING THE CALL WAS WRONG BUT ALSO THAT IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE IN THE OUTCOME...lol...and it wouldn't have if Miami had stiffened and made em kick.

And you with UNC if memory serves...I could be wrong, since there's a lot of UT/UNC fans VT/UK fans...etc...lots of different combinations that people like, especially in this area where there's not a REALLY close (i.e.--1/2 - 1 hour away) natural BCS-type team to like in any sport...ETSU being the closest school to any of us that competes D1 in at least 1 sport (basketball).

I really enjoy Duke basketball and Coach K, but not nearly as much as I enjoy Miami in every other sport. And when it's not against Duke, I root for Miami on the bball court.
