ESPN laughing at Mario

[major kong]

Choice quotes:

- "It's tough to say how many days it had been since Cristobal properly handled a late-game scenario since you can't divide by zero."

- "That left Cristobal with a decision: Put the game in the hands of the best quarterback to ever wear a Miami uniform or, with 3:42 remaining, kick a field goal and leave it up to your defense that has served as a maître d' for Syracuse receivers the entire game.
Cristobal chose pain."

Reality sucks

Those were funny bits. I had to laugh when I read them.

It had been 7,672 days since Miami won a conference championship. But the Hurricanes spent this season as the class of the ACC, finally living up to the immense expectations that have followed the program since its glory years, even if Miami has spent the past 20 years as college football's version of U2 -- still releasing new work, but effectively just a nostalgia act.

Miami ceded its spot in the ACC championship to Clemson, may have lost its spot in the College Football Playoff and reminded the world that, even when U2 gives you its new album for free, it's best to just go ahead and delete it and move on with your life.

Jim Kelly is in the NFL Hall of Fame. Talk about being a prisoner of the moment.

We run down ESPN all season for putting out a biased, lazy, unprofessional product. Let's not start holding them as bastions of truth now.

That’s tough.

The reality is even if we scored and tied the game, Cuse marches down and scores to win the game anyway.

As Mario says “ now wear it”

If we did score, could have gone for 2

Still way too much time, IMO

Agree, but the FG virtually assured we lose - at least a TD gives us some sliver of a chance to tie and go to OT

didnt have OVs to the last home game bc we were locked in. the defense was pretty horrific. Mario when it mattered he most didnt know how to make a late game call. he relied on a chart that doesnt use its eyes. there was nothing showing we could get a stop.

we kicked a field goal needing a TD and we still needed a TD after. it was stupid.

Honestly Mario probably doesn't know the difference between this situation and not kicking field goals against Georgia Tech.

That's what makes him a bad coach. Among other things.

That’s better journalism than they’ve done in decades

Yeah, ESPN is mostly trash, but at least this guy is funny. And IMHO spot on about this

 

[hoops156]

Mario deserves it. we lost in embarrassing fashion.

 

[bdcane4eva]

I'm telling yah that dumbass was playing for a close loss hoping CFP will bail him out..only thing that makes sense.

If you wanna preach accountability, you better take it yourself. Rad should frame these articles and quotes and hang them up in 6 ft frames in Mario’s office. Leave a note on his desk that says, “these come down when you quit ******* up these situations.”

 

[NC_Canes_11]

Paint this quote over Mario’s door and make him touch it every time he walks out of his office.

 

[STtheGreat]

rightfully so, guy has some level of downs without a doubt

Also just saw that was the biggest comeback in Syracuse HISTORY.
Syracuse started playing football in 1889.
