poor hurricanes

of all our old rivals, nebbie looked the worst until last night. that's when the cow-pie called miami football fell full splat in beautiful shreveport louisiana. the annual consolation prize/penalty that is the independence bowl featured local fave LaTech v former big-boy-on-the-block Miami, who was trying to complete another dismal season. despite coming in a pathetic 6-6 the canes were actually favored against the home turf, 9-3 boys from LT. well the UM defense played off their feet but the offense, despite throwing 3 different qb's into the mix, failed to get in the red zone and lost 14-0. not only do you finish with a losing record (grr) but you get shut out (Grrr) in the ugh independence bowl (barf) at the hands of perennial doormat La Tech (GRRRRR). we would be losing our collective big red minds. but think about it...that's nebraska, texas, fsu and miami out of the rankings, with former power usc reaping a recruiting class that rates last in the pac12. penthouse to outhouse can be a fast fall

Thug U getting some karma. Getting blanked in a sub bowl is worse than the bugeaters not even getting to a bowl. Both programs are stuck in the mudflats.

I loved it.

How nice it is to see USC and Miami fade into mediocrity.

remember 20 years ago when we had our own shreveport experience? unlike UM, we were glad to be there....bowling again finally after a multi-year hiatus thanks to blake and schnelly. that undermanned squad nearly knocked off a decent Ole Miss team. we used that first Stoops season and bowl game as a springboard to a championship. not sure UM is on the same tack

How sweet it is indeed. USC is more likely to get back to relevance than say Thug U or Bugeaters.

USC just finished dead last in recruiting in the PAC 12. To say they are or will be ahead of thugs or bugeaters is a stretch.

I love the fact that Tom O is still highly revered at Nebraska. He singlehandedly destroyed the Cornhusker football program by pushing them to move to the Big 10. And the Cornhusker faithful still line up to kiss his ass.

you think so kc? probably right. SC has the tradition and recruiting ground. but i wouldnt sleep on miami. they may not have SC's ancient pedigree but they have been relevant for decades. plus they'll have the abundant florida recruiting base to pick from. now, flip that to nebby. has the tradition but not the talent pool. actually think they'll continue to struggle and remain irrelevant for some time.. all SC or M needs is a top tier coach.

I want to see a low scoring Holiday Bowl, something like a b1g 7-6 victory featuring an 'exciting' mistake and missed opportunity defensive pillow fight. I wouldn't mind a western boat race though

I think USC turns things around. Miami could not get it done a mostly crappy conference. USC is at least competitive. Thug U is hanging down at liquor store drinking some Olde English and mumbling about the golden years.

$c-hawkeyes... in black only helmets (at least on the ia side)

Iowa is playing for their coach from the past & also trying to avenge the year that fate awarded us the Rose & them the Orange back in '03

ah...my dad's hawks agin' the used trojans. know you hate the "we die for fry" boys but i gotta hope they backspackle the fancy pantsers.

All the Gansta and Fatigue days are long gone! They got handled but, good...

 

[FlourBluffHorn]

I do miss the Corn vs OU games back in the day! Some of the best I ever saw...had a many of FB stars back then...packed stadiums in both places when they played each other..The good ole SWC! The Selmon Bros always come to mind when I think of OU and Steve Owens wining the Heisman in 69... and Bud Wilkerson and DKR rivalry..Football is not the same anymore...

Hate is possibly too strong a term; more like meh or whatever. GO Clones, old big 8, etc.

do miss the old big 8 definitely. also miss chalking up the clones to an easy win. also miss my college girlfriend while we're at it.

My impression of Manny Diaz is indelibly etched in my brain when he stood on the Sip sidelines and watched Trey Millard hurdle over and bust through to tacklers on his way to a huge gain. Diaz was a lousy DC and he's a lousy HC.

Enos, OC is gone also. They could not score against La Tech!!!
