Miami fans being real cocky on /r/cfb

Miami fans are notorious front runners. After the first loss they abandon the football stadium for the safety of the nearest Jai alai fronton.

Someone needs to find the cannoli from 2012 who went on a rant before the massacre at Soldier Field. Want to see if he's talking again.

was that the guy that may or may not have been ate by a bear?

He is still alive an ignorant as ever. He goes by allabouttheu83 on YouTube....he has grown a ginger beard!

 

[dad4aa]

Lol @ this guy. Ten seconds in, he says "the SEC is down this year... college football is down this year." SEC is definitely down but college football is hot fire.

College football must be down this year if Notre Dame is in the playoff picture

No that is a different guy...Dannyboy something or something similar. We need to find that video and post it.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

We are screwed. Golic placed a bet and he is 0 for his lifetime on these bets. If Notre Dame loses blame Mike Golic...FML

I get that Martini is a senior and all but coney as been playing absolutely lights out the past couple games. He should be starting and playing every down. The energy he brings to the defense is awesome. When he ran down WF QB last week coming out of nowhere was SEC LB speed

I am getting the NC State treatment from my ND hater friends. Is Miami's defense really that great? I heard the radio say their front 7 will all be playing on Sundays. Should I be worried as an ND fan? Or should I be just as worried as I was for the NC State game? (Which was not very worried).

It's a pretty safe bet our front seven will all be playing on Sundays too, except maybe Bonner (but Coney will and he's not technically a starter, also Kareem and Okwara).
Miami doesn't suck. But neither do we.

Ranked 7

As to Catholics vs Criminals: Mark Richt is the essential opposite of Jimmy Johnson. C v C is completely inappropriate now. (some Miami players may have that character in them, but Richt wouldn't stand for it.)

I'm not sure where or how Mark Richt picked up this persona of the clean cut good guy who runs a tight ship and a squeaky clean program came from?? Check the arrest records at UGA under Richt.
Watch the whole UGA team flood the field after scoring on the opening drive of the game against Florida 10 years ago:

I'm not saying Richt is as bad as Jimmy Johnson but I'll never understand why so many people think Richt is some saint.

I think it was according to koon that NC st had the best dline we would have all year and we needed to be very worried about them.

This baby will be won based on how well our offensive line plays. They have to show up and show up BIG. Truly, everyone on O needs to block like there's no tomorrow. If we do this, Miami will fold come mid-to-late 3rd quarter. If we struggle to move the ball on the ground against an aggressive D-line, we will need our defense to play lights out to keep us even late in the game for a shot at the win. The offensive line has to be alpha, which will not be an easy task.

Anymore cliches I can throw out?

Well put and I'm always concerned about the officials-its who's your daddy time and the Irish are not of that conference.

 

[Old Man Mike]

To the person who dissed Martini by saying that Coney should get all the reps and Martini none (on the bench): If anyone is really watching the games (and I know that most are), they have noticed that we run a rather constant rotation at the two central LB positions (Morgan/ Martini, then Morgan/ Coney, then Martini/ Coney --- pretty equally distributed.) If one watches the first half of the season, one might notice that the opponents tend to have harder times getting down the field when Martini is in --- if one hasn't noticed the LB rotation one will not of course have seen that. That has at least SOMETHING to do with the fact that Martini is playing well (leading the team in solo tackles for the first half of the season.} His pass protection drops have also been generally good. He often makes the defensive calls just prior to snap. None of that is benchable play.

Of course Coney has been playing like his hair's on fire lately --- better than Morgan by the way. One can make an argument that he's been nearly as good as Tranquill. Some of his running-very-fast plays are however not necessarily good plays --- we should try to assess where everyone's job is on any given play. A case can be made that Coney needs some greater national attention now that he's stepped it up, but not so that Martini would be benched (almost a crazy idea.) At least as good an argument could be made that the Coney/Martini combo was our most productive when everyone's healthy. I don't judge that. We are BLESSED with three VERY good LBs, when there was an outside chance at the beginning of the season that they'd just be OK.

Correct

 

[IrishFanJMercy]

Let's face it our defense held them to 27 points last year and they had a better QB last year in confident Elko will have these guys ready

Miami will be fast, but you beat speed two ways. 1. Run right at them without a lot of pulling and 2. Look for schemes to let them take themselves out of the play.

I didn’t mean to say martini should be benched i was just saying coney has been a beast. I guess i honestly haven’t really payed a crazy amount of attention to the LB rotation. I just like seeing coney out there cause he’s fast and brings a lot of energy. Not to knock down martini at all I️ know he has played exceptionally well this year too

I wonder if we'll see more of the power packages with multiple TEs or with one lined up at FB

ND secondaries must come prepared to play this week. After the game against Wake, we cannot have a game like that again. Defense needs to force 3 and outs.

 

[SouthSideChiDomer]

I cannot wait to see what excuses the guys on the Miami boards come up with for why they lost. One guy, on his way to projecting a 48-10 Miami win, just said

Yes, they have a good left side of the offensive line, but if you look at those two guys they are not road graders. They are more technique guys, and I think Norton/Mcintosh tears up that guard, and Joe Jackson abuses that tackle.

The next guy to "tear up" Q Nelson will also be the first.

yeah stopped reading their boards, was getting pretty bad. Not that I expect them to think ND will win. But they think they have a better SOS than ND and they have been wins than ND

Fans like that need to learn their team's place. We're Notre flippin' Dame. Winners of 11 consensus national championships, the winningest team in the country. We have more Heisman winners than anyone else, more consensus all-Americans. We're the best program in the history of the sport. Settle down Miami. You're just another nouveau riche program who thinks you've got what it takes to dethrone the king.
