Ever get tired of players being so cocky? I think teams that dont talk trash are better. Miami had some really stupid cocky players for a while, anyone remember the sugar bowl where the team showed up in fatigues? I do, they got there asses kicked, and was happy to see it. Shut up and play, thats what I say.

get over that fatigue thing, that was 20 years ago.. for the Fiesta Bowl in 86. and they didn't get their asses kicked, they had 5 turnovers and still almost won the game..

I have no problem with these college kids getting excited about games and showing their emotion, there is definately a thin line. But in games like Miami FSU, you have kids that played together thru highschool and sometimes thru their whole lives, so of course they're going to wanna get in each others faces a bit, people need to lighten up some times. I think the excessive celebration calls have gotten out of hand, we need to realize these are 18-21 year old kids, it is natural to want to have a little fun out there if you score, as long as it doesn't directly harm someone, I'm all for it... It's all this PC bullshit of not "hurting someones feelings" by bragging...whatever, if you don't want a kid celebrating a touchdown...don't let him score.. pretty simple.


Sorry if I come off a little d-headed here.... with football just starting my blood gets boiling...lol I just hate it that these kids aren't allowed to mess around anymore. It seems like they try to take some of the emotion and energy out of the game.

although yes... it does sometimes get out of control, i agree that some of the excessive celebrations have gotten out of hand... but hey, sports are run by rich white guys, what have they been excited about since they fulfilled their last viagra prescription 2 years ago?

Aperez is correct about the bowl, I was thinking it was the 1986 sugar bowl where the players also talked a good game and got their asses run off the field 35-7 by tennessee

That win by the Dolphins was a huge surprise to me. I didn't think Nick Saban could do it but he did.

Well if the JETS play like they did last Sunday vs the Chiefs, I'm sure even the Dolphins could beat them.

SDK :) , remember there's always that Bad team attitude when the DOLPHINS - JETS meet, its like the Elephant vs the Bull, both with horns, and the winner is The JETS, they hate us like MUD !!!, they love to stump us out into the water. But who knows maybe the score could end up " Dull " Fins 23, JETS 21, it will be that close. I'll keep my money on the 6 Million Lotto !!! :cheers:

If I could put a bet on the final score, I would have to go with Dolphins 17 Jets 14 with a field goal to win it at the end. I think this will be a defensive battle that will end in a low scoring game. :)

Daktronics Inc. (Nasdaq-DAKT) of Brookings, S.D., announced today that it has been awarded a contract to design and build the world’s largest high definition (HD) light emitting diode (LED) display for Dolphins Stadium.

Daktronics has been chosen by Dolphins Stadium to provide two large ProStar® video displays, each with true, physical pixel resolution exceeding the 720p high definition television standard of 720 pixel by 1,280 pixel resolution. The largest of the two displays will be the largest of its kind in the world. The project is scheduled to be completed in time for the 2006 baseball season, which begins in April.

The facility will be the first NFL venue to implement true HD large screen video. Sports fans are becoming accustomed to watching their teams on high definition broadcasts. Now fans in Dolphins Stadium will see incredible, high resolution, crystal clear, live video and replays on the new digital displays behind each end zone.

Both ProStar® screens will incorporate an even wider aspect ratio than the 9:16 wide screen ratio of HD television, and will give fans a wider, more panoramic view of the action. With their superb resolution and super wide format, the displays will also have the ability to show multiple images simultaneously.

Behind the east end zone, a Daktronics ProStar® display will be installed on the existing scoreboard structure. This display will measure approximately 50 feet high by 137 feet with a true resolution of 736 pixels high by 2,112 pixels wide. Full-screen images shown on this display will be comprised of more than 1.5 million pixels, made from more than 4.6 million red, green and blue LEDs.

Upon completion, this display will become the world’s largest high definition video display, surpassing one installed earlier this year that was recognized as the largest by Guinness World Records. The largest of the two ProStar® displays at Dolphins Stadium will be nearly 20 percent larger than the current record holder.

Behind the west end zone, a second large ProStar® display will be installed. This high definition display will measure approximately 50 feet high by 99 feet wide, and will be mounted to the existing support structure.

“Daktronics is very excited about the opportunity to bring true HD large screen video to a great venue like Dolphins Stadium,” said James Morgan, President and CEO of Daktronics. “This will add another dimension and greater entertainment for the fans. With this upgrade, Dolphins Stadium will claim the world’s largest HD video screen, which will be a landmark for video display technology.”

“As a football fan who has attended Dolphins games, I can say the game-day experience is already exceptional,” said Brent Stevens, Daktronics Regional Sales Manager for Large Sports Venues. “The installation of these two revolutionary displays will enhance that experience even further by allowing Dolphins fans to see images unsurpassed in any venue in the world.”

Said Stevens: “Fans will be amazed with the image quality of the ProStar screens."

Why not build the new baseball/football stadiums for the Dolphins and Marlins and then put in the new HD screens? Why waste it on the old stadium?
