How do we match up with WVU? Haven't seen them play all year?

Really good offense. Defense better be ready to play.

Their offense stinks. I take it you don't watch college football but just assume they have a great offense because Hologram is their coach.

I haven't seen them play this year, but I know they averaged around 33. Holgersen has a reputation as an offensive wunderkind. He did get Clemson to hire Venables.

I've watched them several times this year. They play in a conference that literally plays no defense at all, and they didn't even do all that well playing offense against those teams.

They were spotty all year long and mainly won because they played a little bit of defense in a conference that plays none. Their QB is erratic as ****. One minute he looks great then he can't do anything right.

Hologram is a very sharp guy though. I'd half expect him to install an almost entirely different offense than we've seen from them all year. The game means more to them than us because they're always trying to make inroads in recruiting down here. So I'd expect Hologram to go all out trying to embarrass us.

Looks like we match up pretty well with them right?

They're dependent on the run and we've been stopping the run all year. Our secondary is our weak spot but their QB is too inconsistent to exploit it.

If we get the offense of November we should be able to pass the ball all day on them.

How do you think we'll fare?

If that is how you feel about bowl games, and this game in particular, you need to quit following the Canes
and college football in general as you don't get it.

bowl games are meaningful even if not national title games, they matter for 2 reasons. 1 kids get to have some fun, this is college not the pros after all, 2 the extra bowl practices u get when u go to a bowl allows you to get the young kids more practice and experience for next year.

bowl games are about pride also. pride to represent your school and your conference, winning this would give Miami momentum going into next year.

I understand all of that. I really do,and believe I am not "trolling" or anything like that. The extra practice is good and everything. And travelling to a diff city for the kids can be fun. However. The NCAA, ESPN and the schools again are making money off these kids, in when it comes down to it an exhibition game. god forbid a great talent get seriously hurt and prevents making it big into the NFL. Lets just not make these games seem more important than they are. Cause they are not important.

Yes they are making money off theses kids but if you work for corporate america chances are they are making money off you too. It's the way this crooked world operates, nothing new here.
 
Just checked the website and only lower section on Big 12 is for sale and club level seats on both sides. When can non season ticket holders buy tickets?

For those that haven't watched them play this year, here's West Va vs Texas.

They played close games vs BYU, K State, Texas & Baylor... We have a better Defense than all of those teams.

The key to beating them is stopping the run & putting pressure on their QB.

RAB tweeted we'll be on the West sideline. When you go to buy tickets from their website, it says ACC is on the east. What gives?

There are plenty of tickets for resale on their site.
 
Have any season ticket holders been able to request? Site is broken for me. I can see it's in the cart but then going to the cart is just a broken page with nothing on it.

They corrected it. We're on the EAST. I just bought tickets on their website through the resale tab.

I'm sitting in P01. I'll be tailgating in the Blue Lot. If they don't have a Blue Lot, I will bring a mother****ing Blue Lot.

Dumb comment.

Why not bubble wrap all the kids then?
