Who Said Saban Wouldn't...

amari cooper went to alabama because he didnt have enough pride in south florida, where he was born and raised, to go to Miami like the kids who grew up 20 years before he did. He was then steered to bama by espn who has billions of dollars invested in steering kids to sec schools

I would say it worked out pretty well for him. The fanboy stuff goes out the window once you become a coveted high school recruit.

Of course Schmick would admire Miami in the 80s when the players were taking cash from 2 Live Crew.

So Iman Marshall wasnt a coveted high school recruit this year? Juju Smith and Adoree Jackson werent coveted last year?

Hey, if the school you grew up rooting for also happens to be the best fit for you and your path to the next level, then great. But to expect every recruit to limit their options solely to in-state schools purely out of "loyalty" is beyond stupid. These kids are making the biggest decisions of their lives, there should be a little bit more thought that goes into their decisions beyond "I used to watch them on TV". What if the coaching staff at your beloved school is not good at developing talent? What if your style of play doesn't fit their scheme? Why do you hate free enterprise?

The jokes are writing themselves.

On the official Schmick-sense sliding scale of infraction enforcement, those Miami teams he respects would've earned sixth death penalties.

^^^^^^^^^

One of the few times I cheered for bammer.

Schmick can also thank Miami for unsportsmanlike penalties that he "loves" so much.

[Left Seater]

Your 'Canes are the reason those gestures are now a foul.

Thank them for adding new rules.

[R-Jack]

I for one am shocked that USC fan would have a healthy respect for one of the most dubious shitbag programs in all of college football.

The greatest bowl game I have ever watched was when Miami buttfucked texas in the mouth at the Cotton Bowl one year because the Canes were pissed that Miami was the best team in the nation that year and politics kept them out of the bowl game for the title

They weren't anywhere near the best team in the country in 1990. But continue on with your points, you're doing a bang up job so far.

[Left Seater]

You mean thank the politically correct cock suckers and refs for adding those rules

You have zero idea how any of this works, despite repeated efforts to enlighten you.


The politically correct cock suckers as you call them are the college football coaches. Period, end of story. They are the ones who write the rules.

The officials aren't even consulted.

[Killian]

Miami finished #3 but was #4 or #5 coming into that game with 2 losses. Had they beat Colorado or GaTech, the other would have won the NC.

[Killian]

You do realize that the “lowly” Texas team they were playing only had one loss and was ranked ahead of them, right? The Cotton Bowl was also more prestigious than the Fiesta Bowl at that time.

So what exactly was your point? They had two losses and lost the right to bitch about what they "deserved." Best team at the end of the year? Who fucking cares?

[Killian]

domer fan tried to say what I had posted about Miami being the best team in the country at the time of that bowl game was wrong and that they were "not even close to the best team", he was wrong. Miami was clearly among the best teams in the country that season and on the field vs Colorado or Georgia Tech, who split the title, they would have easily won the title. The Canes could have beaten texass 100-0 if they wanted to, even with the refs clearly on texass' side

You just fucking contradicted yourself. Were they the best team, or among the best teams?

They weren't the best team in the nation, Colorado was. There were plenty of teams that you could say were "among" the best, including ND who beat Miami.

[Killian]

At the end of the season, Colorado was the best team in the nation. The bowl game where they beat a team who handed Miami one of their losses was evidence of that.

I know part of the reason you don't want to give Colorado credit is the fact CA kids made up a good chunk of their roster.

[Killian]

Huh?

[Roger_the_Shrubber]

I hear ya schmuck, errr, schmick.

But imagine what college football teams around the nation would be like without players from Florida.
