RS sounds like a great coach so far.

Besides no proven QB, WR, TE, and shambles in their offensive line, make no mistake, they're for real.

QB yes. TE Olsen didn't exactly set the world on fire with his numerous dropped passes last year. WR will be in excellent shape. Jenkins got his medical redshirt, Shields will be much improved, Kayne the JC transfer tore USC up in scrimmages which is why they were hard after him.

Defense will be loaded as usual. The QB play will be the key to Miami's season. Watch the Marshall game week 1 and then it will be more apparent. I will be at the Spring game and am interested to see what changes are made with the O.

O-line is unknown due mostly to injuries and youth. No seniors on the line this year.

QB yes. TE Olsen didn't exactly set the world on fire with his numerous dropped passes last year.

He was their main target last year and had 4 times as many catches as the other two TE. Although I think Farr will be great in time, probably not ready yet.

WR will be in excellent shape. Jenkins got his medical redshirt, Shields will be much improved, Kayne the JC transfer tore USC up in scrimmages which is why they were hard after him.

Excellent shape is a HUGE exaggeration. Miami was considering using their punter as a WR last year due to death and injury problems. Kayne wasn't offered by USC last year so I doubt they were really after him that hard.

Jenkins hasn't really done much at Miami so far but was having a good year until his injury.

Defense will be loaded as usual. The QB play will be the key to Miami's season. Watch the Marshall game week 1 and then it will be more apparent. I will be at the Spring game and am interested to see what changes are made with the O.

Agreed and their RBs should be fine as long as James doesn't get hurt. But that QB play will be led by the ex-oc from Georgia Tech. The same guy that couldn't get the ball to CJ waaaay more. Don't know how excited I would be to have him leading my struggling offense.

O-line is unknown due mostly to injuries and youth. No seniors on the line this year.

No, it's known and it's bad. Sure it'll be improved, but they're switching up positions and bringing in a new ol coach. Although, he looks pretty promising.

It will be a whole new game this year. Did Stoops recruit great players his first 2 years or was there talent there that was not being coached that led to the 2000 title? Same thing in Miami.

I'm not as well versed in the 2000 season as I'd like to be, but Stoops brought in the starting RB and QB, who were both integral to his success that year. RS has way more talent than Stoops did when he took over.

H8HOGS

2/26/2007, 06:08 PM

Instead of quoting all that I will put this way. Miami had top 15 recruiting classes every year that Larry Loser was there. He was a players friend and not a coach. He got the 2001 NC because the talent on that team was sick and most anyone on this board could have won that year.

He couldn't motivate, he couldn't make players better and he couldn't motivate. Shannon will make it very clear and already has that lack of effort will not be tolerated and being accountable will be where he draws the land..

The O-line coach is a good one and I think most people will be surprised in the improvement.

The OU-Miami game is a key on for teams seasons I will say that.

RS sounds like a great coach so far.

I like Randy Shannon. I especially like this -- 'Don't stereotype the program and don't stereotype me and put me along with Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith and Karl Dorrell. Just call me a coach of a football program and we'd all be better off.' That's probably the most important thing he's said. It isn't about 'black coaches'. It's about good, qualified coaches. And he is the best, most qualified coach for his current position.

Besides no proven QB, WR, TE, and shambles in their offensive line, make no mistake, they're for real.

No proven QB? What happened to Kyle Wright? Isn't he still the QB?

I'm tracking that only WR Ryan Moore and C Anthony Wollschlager were seniors, and only TE Greg Olsen left early. Kyle Wright will be a senior QB, Javarris James (little brother of Edgerrin) is the next great Miami RB, and they get 4 of their 5 OL starters back (sound familiar?).

Their D will be awesome with 7 returning starters. DT Kareem Brown, DE Baraka Atkins, and SS Brandon Meriweather were seniors and LB Jon Beason declared early. They have playmakers and talent across the board, including DE Calais Campbell, LB Tavares Gooden, and Randy Phillips, Lovon Ponder, and Glenn Sharpe in the secondary.

Miami will be good, damn good. They will come into Norman on a mission to prove that they are back. I sure hope we are ready, because they have a ton of talent that was mostly young in a very competitive conference last year. This year they are much more experienced (with the memories of last season lingering), and they have a fiery competitor as a coach again. Larry Coker, God bless him, was not a fiery anything and never has been. The team he inherited early didn't need any special motivation. They were loaded with 2 and 3 year starters. Randy Shannon is the right man, in the right place, at the right time, and Miami is going to be good enough to beat everybody on their schedule. I just hope we have the QB situation figured out WELL BEFORE SEPTEMBER 8, or it will be a long day.

Edit: I updated some of my info. I was pretty close. Basically, the Canes had 2 true freshmen and 3 sophomore starters on O and 3 sophomores and a RS-Freshman starting on D.

Fraggle145

I agree with the talent part,

but their conference was not competitive last year... When Wake Forest wins the conference and plays Georgia Tech in the Conference title game, that isnt competitive... its called a down year.

So the fact remains they were really bad during a bad conference year for them last year. That doesnt mean that I dont think that this game is going to be really tough.

Desert Sapper

2/27/2007, 10:28 AM

When Wake Forest wins the conference and plays Georgia Tech in the Conference title game, that isnt competitive... its called a down year.

Wake Forest and Georgia Tech both had really good senior-dominated Defenses and Georgia Tech had the best WR in the country. That's called parity. If it was really a down year, one of the big-time schools would have coasted to a championship...sort of like we did last year. It was a down year for Miami and FSU in the ACC, but that was partially because it was a dogfight for the top spot in the Atlantic Division. The Coastal was the Big XII North last year. Miami lost four games by a TD or less, while starting more than their share of underclassmen. With the exception of Virginia (the death kiss), every team they lost to was ranked when they played them.

ACC Standings
ATLANTIC CONF. W-L OVERALL W-L
Wake Forest (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/clubhouse?teamId=154) 6-2 11-3
Boston College (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/clubhouse?teamId=103) 5-3 10-3

Virginia (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/clubhouse?teamId=258) 4-4 5-7
Miami (FL) (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/clubhouse?teamId=2390) 3-5 7-6

Duke (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/clubhouse?teamId=150) 0-8 0-12

Aside from the four that didn't make it to a bowl, where's the down year? Just because a traditional power doesn't win the championship doesn't make it a 'down year'.

JJ is Edge's cousin not brother. Kyle Wright will be back but may not start. I actually expect whichever QB Freeman a JR or Wright as Senior that doesn't get the starting job to transfer to a lower level school to get playing time.

That would leave Marve as the back up. And once again I would like to thank Bama for trading us QB recruits. Fanuzzi will never see the field and if he does that is a bad thing.

The thing with Shannon is he grew up in the projects in Miami and he can walk in and a kid can relate to his plight. He also did things on the recruiting weekends like serve the parents and take them on tours of the campus himself. This doesn't mean he will be successful but if this recruiting class with basically a month to work with and the results are any indication things are looking good.

One of Cokers biggest problems was managing the scholarships and meeting needs. How do you get down to 2 Scholly QB's and don't sign one for 3 straight years. Same thing at WR. This class breakdown was perfect for what we needed. Next year we have few seniors also and will only be able to sign about 20 players.

Don't worry we are used to being the most hated team everyone plays each year.

The students a VT simply wear T-shirts that say F*** MIAMI!!. I am talking hundreds of them last time we were there in 2005. Just made that 27-7 pounding we handed them while they were ranked #3 all that more enjoyable. Stadium was empty except for the party in the corner of the end zone by the end of the 3rd Qtr.

In all seriousness this game along with the trip to Blackturd is the highlight of my road trips next year.

I disagree. Miami will have their hands full this season like they did last year. Will they be better last year? I think so, since I think Shannon is the right man to lead that team.

However, second game, of first year HC and coordinators and some position coaches + game being played in Norman with the talent OU has coming back = 85+% chance that Miami will lose.

The problem with Miami this year will be their OL. Until that unit can gel together, they will struggle offensively. Miami's defense should be stout yet again this year.

Miami is still more talented than OU and that game will come down to who ever gets the best play from their Quarterback.

Kyle Wright has the talent but has never put it together for a full season.

We dont even have a starting Quarterback..... The game is all about the Quarterback.

I hope that this game can have the hype of those OU & UM games of the late 80's. Those were classic games. Back then Miami was the only team that could beat OU. Jamelle was born out of that first meeting down in Norman. Those were some great games & great players played in those games.

You are 100% ridiculous. There's a few schools in the nation that are arguably (USC, Texas, LSU, UF) more talented than ou, and Miami isn't on that list.

I think the Miami game will be more important than the Texas game next year. If we win, it'll give us the momentum that we need to beat Texas and it'll prove that whichever QB we choose is definitely up to the task of D-I football. If we lose, I think it spells bad news for the next few games. Simply because our guys could feel that pressure to win and not play very well after.

If our stadium is still standing at that time, that is.

Fixed. ;)

As far as the stadium they are deciding right now if the OB is going to be renovated or if we are moving to Dolphin Stadium. I hope they renovate the OB as it is a great place to spend a Saturday afternoon..

How many here attended any of the games Oklahoma played in the OB? It would be a shame to lose that place. Similar to the feelings here about the Cotton Bowl.

Security isn't the issue. Tiresome smack is.

No smack here just responding to the Homers. I think you got a decent board here and I am looking forward to the game in Norman.... I got nothing but respect for other top programs in the country.

I will be there and won't hide my allegiance to the U. I actually look forward to stopping by a few OU tailgates. Minus the Pubes of course...

Sorry man, all my burgers for cane fans test positive for pubes! ;) seriously though I hope you do come by my tailgate or just that general area (there are lots of tailgates there) you'd enjoy it, typically they are like me (way into grad school) or older so not the typical young dumbasses. We are still drunk, just not as dumb. Although I hate miami I wont mind rubbing shoulders with you, so long as you arent wearing an orange jersey, green or white for you only. orange is just too much to ask. You should hit up the Soonerfans tailgate too.

We know who you are... :eek: :cool:

I think you got a decent board here and I am looking forward to the azz whipping you guys will put on us in Norman.... I got nothing but respect for other top programs in the country.

finally, you have learned your role.

I will be there and won't hide my allegiance to the U.

for some reason, i highly doubt you will be showing allegiance come game day

I actually look forward to stopping by a few OU tailgates.
I don't know if i want you at mine....one of the posters here told me you were only stopping by tailgaters for a quick game of hide the pickle. this ain't miamuh or arkansas cochese.

Minus the Pubes of course...

that stadium is a COMPLETE DUMP! it's worse than the cotton bowl and that's hard to do. they need to throw that thing in the trash and start over again. seeing that miami fills their stadium about like aggy lite to the north, i doubt that would ever happen. unless, t. boone pickens suddenly becomes a 'cane booster. :les:

Lets see OU has 30k students and is a state University that gets a large majority of their students from the region. Many of these alumni after graduation live in close enough proximity that they attend games. Also as the largest university in the state it receives a large amount of support from people that never attended OU and are just fans. Same goes for Ohio St, Florida, Texas and most of the very large public universities.

Miami on the other hand is a private school that has 14k students and many of those are in graduate programs. Also 50% come from out of state and leave the state upon graduation leaving a small number of Alumni in the state of Florida. This also means they don't receive state money.

So there is a significant difference in budgets and all other aspects of the schools.
Also their student to teacher ration is incredible...The student-faculty ratio therefore is one of the lowest in the country with 13 students to each teacher

I don't think anyone was saying Miami was a bad school beyond the thugs that play on the football team. I know they have that hurricane center there, but beyond that, of the top of my head, I can't think of any academic programs that stand out. Not saying there aren't any others there, I just don't know of any.

34 consecutive wins and 2 MNC attempts; with that, even Okie Light could fill up that stadium with just badwagoneers. USC is the same way... you put them on TV, send them to two MNC games back-to-back, give them credit for other schools' National Championship seasons (like ESPN claming they had 12 MNC's with three of them falling on Wilkinson and Switzer MNC years :mad:), hype them as the "greatest team to ever play the game..." and they don't fill the house? Not ripping you, 'Cane man... just sayin'.
