Les Miles

[Dale]

My fellow Gator fans think I'm crazy, but I loved the way Miles gambled all through 2007. Many called him 'stupid' for it, but it got him a BCS.

[Cashville]

Its the way his games have gone since he has been at LSU, don't know why its any big surprise that he is not blowing anybody out. If he is not playing an ACC team or OSU it will probably be a close game, he even lost to Arkansas and Kentucky the year he won the title. They were both middle of the road SEC teams.

Oh...they're back, still kinda young @ key positions...bet your ASS they're back! Too much talent in Dade County babyyyyyy!

Both FSU and Miami are on the way back....bad weekends but I follow college football like a hawk...best talent both teams have had in years.

Back ... to being pretenders. They were utterly exposed vs VT. And though not well-publicized, last year's champ, Florida (which does not need Dade County recruits), was younger than the Canes.

As for FSU, forget it. They're through. Shambles.

Well...those of us who know sports are not going to base an entire program's status on one ballgame. Back or not back, Miami lost to a good Virginia Tech team in Blacksburg during a driving rainstorm. I'm no Miami fan, but they are definitely a solid team with a bright future.

Again...real sports fans don't toss out a team after one loss. FSU is through? I guess they'll be eliminating football as an intercollegiate sport in Tallahassee then.

Again in the words of Lee Corso..."not so fast my friend".....Texas and Florida haven't played a quality opponent to date....we shall see....lotta crazy football left in the season. ..Stay tuned......

And Alabama has a young QB....he's going to cost them a game or two...

Well this early into the season, the list of teams that HAVE beaten quality opponents is pretty short..

Alabama
Boise State
Virginia Tech
Oklahoma State
Houston
Iowa
California
Miami
Brigham Young
Oregon

That's it.

Are you serious??, if anything McElroy has elevated the Alabama offense from last year.

Correction: real sports fans don't fall for hype, false hope and retro-swagger. In the case of Miami, they were 7-6 last year and had two wins this year over poor teams, including FSU. Then were obviously dismantled by a VT team that had been previously dismantled by Bama. And watch Miami get dismantled by OU next week.

FSU is even more clear-cut. They are losing four and five games every year now, and are falling farther and farther behind Florida in the recruiting wars.

How about basing their status on the past four years then ?

Oh, of course I forgot that it rained on Miami and not on Virginia Tech.

I would be going nuts if I were an FSU fan right now, who saw this horrific disaster coming for this football program?.

This season has seen this team shit out a win against Jacksonville State, and lose to South Florida. If this handwriting isnt one the wall for Bowden and his football program, maybe going back to being a school for women would not be such a bad idea.

There is talk among FSU fans now of actually dropping Florida from its schedule! FSU has become the fourth-best team in Florida.

Who said anything about hype or any of that other garbage? I based my opinion on watching Miami play its first 3 games...they are good. A bad outing doesn't change that for real fans of the sport.

VT was not dismantled by Alabama...34-24? If you call that a dismantling then you really don't know sports.

Miami has played 3 teams ranked in the top 25...call it whatever you want, but that is not playing "poor teams". Like I said, I'm not a Miami fan but I also don't let my allegiences blind me into making lame statements - but you obviously do. Miami is a good team and we'll find out more next weekend when Oklahoma comes to town.

Great reporting! One game makes a team have a certain "place" in the state of Florida. Stop making such foolish statements, please. It's embarassing.

You watched Miami eke out a win over the fourth-best team in Florida, then win its circle-the-calender game over a bad GT team, then get utterly dismantled by a VT team that had been previously dismantled by Bama. And indeed, Bama dismantled VT. That game was manifestly NOT as close as the score would indicate.

And then you toss in the red-herring of 'blind allegience', clearly a concocted charge if you've followed my other posts.

BTW, it did rain on Miami but not on VT, right ?

South Florida is no pushover...in 2007 they were ranked as high as #5 and beat Auburn, Louisville, and West Virginia. I guess that spelled the end for those teams as well, huh?

Umm..Alabama dominated the stats sheet on both sides of the ball, the game in my mind was never in doubt.
