ugh....Hurricanes are getting beat like a rug. Just pitiful.
If the stock market was open... I'd invest in baby powder, I think this going to be spankin'
34 to 3, this ones done. Goodnight.
The "U" is "pee-u"
Tonight it sure is.
Miami Her-icanes.
Tonight they are, I thought this was going to be closer.
How about that Mizzou come back??
I thought this was supposed to be a defensive duel. Only one team appears to have brought one to Atlanta.
And if they only brought half the results would be the same. I'm impressed with this Flynn kid.
What happened to Ryan Periloux, the QB who was supposed to sign with Texas last February and then switched at the last minute to LSU? I guess he got redshirted.
Yesterday was the day of comebacks (except for the Canes).
Who'd have thought that out of all the matchups yesterday the Peach Bowl would wind up being the worst game?
I shut the game off right at the end. I didn't see the post game fight.
Yeah I saw it on SportsCenter this morning.
I don't care who started it, but that isn't a good thing for Miami. They already have a perception.....
Same here - I can't find a good link to it.
No, I don't think it was luck. UVa did NOT have a much tougher schedule than Minny (I assume you meant Minn, not NW). Based upon opponents' winning %, Minny had the #17 most difficult schedule, while the Cavs had #67, so it wasn't really close. Having to play Ohio State, Michigan, Iowa, and Penn State (3 on the road) is NOT an easy schedule.
Yes, the game could have gone either way; however, Minny was favored by almost a TD, which is what I was going against, so had Minny scored a TD to win, they still wouldn't have covered.
Yes, UVa did have some coaching issues, as 4 assistants left; however, it gave the players much more one-on-one time with the head coach, Al Groh. I think the players really enjoyed that, as they normally have little interaction with the head coach. I thought his players would play hard for him and they did.
When you are favored like Minny, it's easy to get distracted. With all of the Minny assistants getting termination notices the day after the game, it doesn't take a rocket scientist that they might not be totally focused in on the game. Coach Mason even said they were being distracted by it.
