From Zero to Twenty

Wow, Miami looked awesome last night against Florida State. And what an insane game to watch too. From beginning to end. The whole time, I never lost confidence in my boys, that we were going to pull out the win. Amazing though. And when time expired, for a second I thought that the Florida State reciever caught the ball in the endzone. Insane. Graig Cooper was amazing, not just running the ball, but on the kick returns too. What speed man... I liked both Benjamin and Hankerson as recievers. Benjamin was the one with the nice catches, and Hankerson was the one that was able to pick up the clutch yards after the catch. That guy can make the first guy miss with his speed, then lower his shoulder into the next guy and drive him back another five yards. But my boy of the game was undoubtedly Jacory Harris. So many times he put the ball right on the money. His best throw of the night was the 50 yard strike to Benjamin when he got down to the 3 yard line. That was thee best throw I've seen so far this year. Perfection. And he's only a sophmore. I'm sure that Miami isn't done now though. We face #15 Georiga Tech next Thursday night, which will be another ESPN-televised thriller. Then it's off to #14 Virginia Tech and #13 Oklahoma; both of whom were in the top ten before today. Anyways, that win keep us alive in the National Championship race (I guess, right BCS?), and gave us a clutch conference win. I predicted an ACC Championship for this team this season, and I expect us to win it. And after being unranked in the preseason poll, I was kind of nervous going up against four Top 25 teams in the first four weeks of our season. All we can do play em, and win em. And keep moving up.


#20 Miami Hurricanes (1-0)

Baseball Propectus


The San Francisco Giants will be very dangerous if they end up winning the wild card. With the one-two punch of Lincecum and Cain, they could easily grab a 2-0 lead on the road in any given series. I would be very afriad of them if they were my NLDS opponent.

The Marlins are fading fast. They passed up the Braves to take 3rd place in the wild card chase. Though with Hanley Ramirez and Dan Uggla hurt, I just don't know if I see them making the playoffs. Though I reallllly hope they do. And you know that if they do make the playoffs, they will be World Series Champs. Just as I predicted from Day One.

Tigers looked good last night too, topping the Rays 8-6. If they can keep that run production up, they'll hold this six game lead, and be a threat in the playoffs.

I really hope the Rangers get the wild card. I just want to see someone else play playoff baseball other than the Red Sox, ya know?

I actaully kinda wish the Cubs were doing better. I like watching them in the playoffs. I think in my head I root for them. Just because I love the upsets, and the Cubs doing anything good in the playoffs has to be an upset by now...

The Dodgers will choke in the playoffs. You saw it here first. They don't have the IT factor. First round, they're gone. I promise.

Notice the Keypoints


New laptop, and a new strategy. Let's see how long it lasts. And how often I'm here to make it last.... haha.



Michigan looked good today with Tate Forcier under center. This may be the start of an era. And how about Mike Martin?

I was very happy to see Oklahoma lose to BYU. Actually watched the game, and was rooting against OU the whole time. Love the upsets. And what the hell was Bradford thinking coming back to school. Giving up being the number one pick and millions of dollars for this? He has absolutely no line now, just like I've been saying, and he will suffer majorly, just like he did tonight, when he was injured in the first quarter for the rest of the game. And probably more.

Looking forward to Miami facing Florida State on Monday night. We usually don't fare very well in that first Monday nighter against FSU, though this year will be different. This year, we take back the ACC. Just watch.

INSANELY pumped for Thursday Night Football, when the NFL season kicks off with the Titans and Steelers. Nothing really needs to be said. I'll do most of the talking to the tv set. At the top of my lungs. Go Titans.
