allright, as i've been "on vacation" for a few days now (3rd "vacation" this month, i believe), i haven't had time to respond to anything, so i'll put it all here.
first of all:
fire larry coker
i said it after the vatech game. i was more scared of wake forest, georgia tech and virginia than i was of vatech. why? because coker doesn't care about those games. it's become more and more evident over the years. well, it's not that he doesn't care about the games, but he treats the lower competition like that: lower competition. of course, he apparently fails to realize that EVERYONE plays their hardest against miami. people are calling the gatech victory "shocking" but seriously how shocking is it when it's a common trend over the past 3 seasons? you can even go back to the '02 season when they played down to ohio state in the fiesta bowl (people complain about the refs, blah blah blah...that game should've NEVER been in double OT. miami was MUCH better than OSU). anyone notice soemthing about kyle wright? his best games this year were against FSU and virginia tech. he has no problem getting up for the big games, but the games like USF and georgia tech, he looks completely clueless. wonder why? see, back in the butch davis days (which includes the 2001 championship year; that was NOT coker's team), when we played tight games, we had the players to step up and win them. notice i said PLAYERS. nowadays, we don't have players, we have athletes. see, davis would recruit great athletes and coach them up to be great players. coker gets athletes and expects them to become great players. this defense is fast as hell, but overpursuits everything, and the playmakers on offense and special teams think with their legs, not their heads. as someone else said in another thread, coker is going nowhere. he's doing the lloyd carr thing and winning just enough games not to get fired. i really regret taking down firecoker.com, but i do go a t-shirt thing up at cafepress.com/firecoker. check it out
second point: go USF
i know everyone hates the BCS and blah blah blah, but USF going to be the sugar bowl would be a GREAT story. 9 years ago this school didn't even have a football team! their first year in 1997 they were playing teams like kentucky wesleyan, and just a few years later, they have a chance to get to the freaking sugar bowl. this is a team that's never even been to a bowl, period. in fact, they've never even been RANKED before. bad for the BCS, but GREAT for USF
3rd point:
i don't want to offend anyone here, but this is JUST MY OPINION. okay? so don't hassle me for this. okay, here it is: reggie bush is good
if he doesn't win the heisman, then go ahead and stop giving out the heisman. seriously. no one else is close to him right now. he also pretty much locked up the #1 pick in the draft, which is good for the dolphins, as maybe leinart can drop far enough for us to trade up, or (looking at how we played sunday), we may not have to trade up at all
other things:
LSU is better than penn state; paul pinegar is getting too much razzing for that USC game. he made bad decisions, but overall had a great game, and i'll admit that i underestimated fresno state; calvin johnson is ridiculous. easily the #1 receiver next year, and if brady quinn declares this year, he could easily be the #1 overall propsect for the draft; oregon could sneak their way into a BCS game
