PERPETUAL MOTION: State of the Program

[Fox305]

Not a single serious canes fan should be surprised at the committee tonight spewing the bogus reasoning behind our rank.

Since 1983, the ncaa has been on a unilateral tear to throw swords at UM whenever it’s needed. We NEVER had friends we NEVER will have friends.

REPEAT: WE NEVER HAD FRIENDS, WE NEVER WILL HAVE FRIENDS.

This needs to be understood. The minute Miami allowed 21-0 points to evaporate , the season was done. Barring an unforeseen olive branch, we still would have needed gatekeeper Clemson to fall in a Winner take all game IN CAROLINA to a newcomer SMU. Odds were not good with that for me. I expect Clemson to win that game.

The SEC/Big10 will always get priority. Not only that, as CFB changes landscape, both conferences will do what’s possible to make sure we probably aren’t allowed entry to forever keep us in “outsider” status.

Miami will always have to handle its own business. SCAR/Syracuse coaches let us know where we stand in CFB circles. Our misery is their enjoyment.

I want cast blame, I feel it’s obvious the root of the matter. But it all falls on the shoulders of the head man. There is a pattern.

People can CHOOSE to IGNORE or simply respect what is and hope something changes. The latter we hope is likely, I personally don’t believe it. I believe we blew the biggest opportunity of program redemption since the 2002 Fiesta bowl.

Even with all the recruiting news, doesn’t take a rocket science to see teams PAY for losing out on a chance to compete when you have a top 5 draft pick at QB and a offensive of elite pos groups along with it.

I don’t see us trending up because I question why we even sit here todays with egg on our face again.

THIS time was suppose to be different.. THIS time was suppose to be a real chance at redemption.

It was not. This is perpetual. 9-0> 10-3 seems on the horizon.

I think this feeling is probably, likely the tip of the iceberg for what’s the come and it won’t be good

Miami will always have to handle its own business.

Miami caught a few breaks when we should have handled our business. That VT call goes the other way, we going to say it was a travesty a 9-3 UM team was left out? And while every team gets a lucky call (or non call), we had two major ones in the non targeting call and the Hail Mary. Whether or not they were called correctly doesn’t matter, what is relevant is we needed refs to make a call that broke in our favor twice to avoid being 8-4. We didn’t handle business mutiple times this season.

and you don't think other teams had "luck" too? It's part of the game.

As I said- every team caught some breaks. But needing breaks against good teams and needing breaks against bad teams are two different things. I believe we were down 35-10 at one point to Cal. Rally was impressive but if refs uphold targeting on Bissanthe , the season is essentially over 3 games in to a bad Cal squad. Should not have had season on the brink to that team at that point in the season.

And I’m sure you will point to Oregon winning by 10 against Idaho early in the season. Big difference is Oregon led that entire game from start to finish. Idaho got within 3 to start the 4th but Oregon scored a TD on the next drive and kept Idaho off scoreboard for last 10 minutes of the game. Their W didn’t depend on a referee.

It sucks and we got screwed, but we also got a couple mulligans that gave us the leeway that we could lose one of either GT or Syracuse and still make playoffs. Couldn’t take advantage of it.

As Jimmy Johnson once said about playing at Notre Dame..”don’t put the game in the hands of the refs at Notre Dame”. Same applies here…if we took care of business instead of putting our fate on the committee…..

Agree with Squid.

We went 10-2 but this felt/looked like an 8-4 team.

Thank you Cam for the 8 and eat **** defense for the 4.
