I would never pick against Miami.

I've heard this many times through the years, but what's the reasoning behind not picking against Miami even if it looks like we have no shot?

I can understand not betting against us, but not when predicting a win or loss.

So what gives?

Most certainly serious. When I was at the Rose, leading up to the game every single Nebraska fan (there were a shot ton of them) I spoke to didn't expect to win. So why is it that some, not all obviously, won't say the same when we look to be up against the wall?

It's not as if a random pick from a fan has any value to it.
You are not a paid pronosticator on a show. It's not that serious or frankly relevant.

1. Bet against Miami money line (Increasingly in the +)
2. Collect
3. Purchase alcohol
4. Profit
 
1. Those corn holes had little faith because this is their coach...

2. What the deuce is a shot ton?

I was there as well. Here they were in the MNC game and every.single.one of em was telling me they had no shot. None. They were just hoping it wasn't a massacre (which it ended up being). Some of the nicest opposing fans I'd ever met. I guess they just weren't real Nebraska fans. Had they just believed hard enough, maybe they could have beat us?

Agreed! I expect a win every time ! I have my owm nonalcoholic methods for coping and regrouping. But gotta expect a win before every game.

It's called being a fan. And, it comes with unrealistic expectations, irrational thoughts, delusional predictions and orange/green sunglasses.

OP needs to turn his Cane Card into bomb as soon as possible.

There's a difference between thinking we might lose to a better team like fsu and seemingly openly gloating about the possibility of losing like so many purported UM fans do. You look like a weak cumbag when you go into a game openly shuddering about how UM is going to get worked.

Some dudes are cut out differently. Some guys go into everything thinking of losing in order to cushion the blow in case they do lose. Some of us know we have plenty of holes and have been really bad/mediocre for a long time, but once that ball goes in the air, I think UM is going to win.

This. Soft shoulders. Not sure what is worse, the act of it happening or starting a thread to ask why.
 
Look at you scrubs doing it wrong. Everyone knows you bet a small amount of money that you don't mind losingagainst the Canes. If we win, you are happy we win. If you lose, hey you got 20 bucks!

Nailed it. These boards have become flooded with "fans" that gloat about being "right" and mock players and coaches, when in reality they're not really fans, not in the true sense of the word. They're the same bunch that'll have flags flying from every window when the tide turns.
You don't have to be naive or a blind homer, but the crap that's infested these boards has taken a turn for the worse.
