Once this Class finishes top 12

Fluke wins and mediocre opponents. It’s amazing how some of you just won’t give a ounce of credit for comeback or dominant wins, then point to every loss as a sign of the apocalypse.

Maybe I should start callng the losses to Duke, Virgina and Pitt fluke losses going forward.

LMAO. You probably believe in participation trophies too. Didn't know we had undercover soccer moms on this board.

If we land Bogle, Stevenson and Hasselwood, it will be solid on the defensive side of the ball (depending on who else they get there). But on offense, we now have significant holes at OL (Neal's not coming here), QB and RB for this class. If Hasselwood and Payton are our 2 WRs this cycle, you could say that that portion is elite. But that's severely disappointing. I'm not satisfied at all with this class.

Agreed, and that is "If." Not sure how I feel about DT recruiting either. Think we got a few guys who will be solid but DT recruiting could've been better.

Nah I just count wins as wins and losses as losses. You count wins as flukes and losses as the. Apocalypse.

I think we're solid at DT. Need another body or GT/JUCO as none of the 3 guys coming in are for sure going to be in the rotation (or rather shouldn't be).

You are delusional. In 2017, we beat a terrible FSU team with a miracle, beat GT with a miracle 4th down catch, barely beat Syracuse at home, and were very close to losing to a UNC team who had 2 or 3 wins. Oh, and Clemson beat us 38-3. This year we played the softest schedule and managed to go 7-5.

See a doctor.

Right after you see a math teacher.

10-3 + ACCCG = good. 7-5 = bad.

Have her write them on index cards for you for easier studying.

Still have plenty to complain about.....OC, QB, OL, playcalling, special teams, OC...

There are plenty of programs making changes after seasons far less disappointing/underachieving than ours, yet slurpers on here wonder why we complain. I'll shut up when I see progression rather than regression.

Buddy, I have already agreed that 2017 was a good year. I said we had 2 seasons (2016, 2018) out of 3 that were bad. Doesn't mean we didn't have some fluke wins in 2017. We did. It caught up to us this year.

Jesus. Have a nice day.

College football is about winning every game, and winning most of them in dominating fashion. Losing three games in a season and having three more that require miraculous, extremely low percentage plays to come through in order to survive far inferior opponents is not and has not been the bar for "success" at Miami in a long, long time.

Stop acting like people who want a winner are the crazy ones.

No 10-3, losing to a completely mediocre Pitt team, getting curb stomped by Clemson, and getting embarassed by Wisconsin in our home stadium is NOT a good season. We should be brushing our teeth with the Wisconsin's of the world.

Sure, coming out of Al Golden, and showing some real signs of progress in what we COULD do in pounding VT and ND was good as a sign of things going in the right direction, but that is NOT a good season by UM standards. It's an acceptable season.

Stop trying to lower the bar.

I want an expect a winner. But this utopian blowout machine you think is out there is complete bull **** outside of 2-3 teams.

Ohio State took a 30 point beat down at .500 Purdue, was losing at Minnesota in the 4th quarter, has a miracle comeback to beat a 3 win Nebraska team and needed OT to beat Maryland.

Oklahoma needed OT to beat freaking ARMY, beat under .500 teams Oklahoma State and Texas Tech by a combined 6 points, lost to Texas and beat West Virginia by 3.

Alabama and Clemson are dominant. No one else is.

Spare me the whole “We are the U **** it!!” nonsense. Wisconsin was 12-1 last year and a **** good team. We gave them a tough game despite horrendous QB play. Overall, It was a **** of a year.

So save your lowering the bar regurge for your burn down the program groupies.

Wisconsin played absolutely no one last year. And I'm not sure what game you were watching, but we most certainly did not give them a "tough game". We were the better team, got out to a lead, then got dominated for the rest of the game once they figured out our limitations. We got completely out-coached in that game on both sides of the ball. They did what they wanted with us and, from the stands, there was never much of a feeling, once they took the lead, that we had any chance of winning.

Again, the "this is fine" groupie changes the conversation and makes straw man arguments putting words into the mouths of those who won't settle and be happy with a middling team. I said it was not a "good season" to lose three games in a season and also have another 3 games where it took miracle plays to survive. You come back talking about two 1-loss teams who had a couple of close games. I'm talking apples and you come on here making it out like I'm talking about watermelon.

Oklahoma has had a "very good" season in 2018, with the chance to make it great. They won all of their games, except one to their arch-rival by 3 points on a neutral field, and then they avenged that loss fairly decisively in the Big12 Championship game. They have a chance to make this an "outstanding" season depending what they do in the playoffs. Why are we comparing a 12-1 CFP 4-seed to a Miami team that went 10-3, losing by 35 to CU, sleep walking through a pathetic loss to Pitt, getting embarrassed by Wisconsin (and I can assure you, Wisconsin fans did not walk out of that stadium thinking, boy, that Miami team sure gave us a tough game. They were thinking, "what was all the fuss about? These guys are pussies."), and needing miracle plays to make last minute comebacks against bad to terrible teams like FSU, GT and UNC?

Of course there are going to be close games. You still need to win them all and, as I said earlier, you should dominate MOST of them. I'm well aware that Miami 2001 had some close games. Don't pretend my words mean something different than what they mean.

For the record, those burning down the program are the ones who are satisfied with Richt as head coach/OC and his son as QBC. Richt is burning down the program with his obstinacy, laziness, and ineffectiveness. Those who you deride as the "burn down the program groupies" are the ones who recognize the house is on fire and are screaming that someone should put the fire out and save the structure.
