Miami can be great again easily, Nebraska can't imo.


Sad but probably true they won't ever be on "that" level and I think going to the Big Ten made it even more difficult I don't think they can hang with OSU,Michigan money type schools. Nebraska cashed out they look funky as fukk playing schools like Illinois and Northwestern them Nebraska/Kansas St games used to be some of the game I looked forward too every summer now they can't even play :snoop:

Ehh I think people are fooled by the popularity and hype of the program and how good they were at their peak . It's been 14 years since they were great. That's a long ass time for a supposed powerhouse


Miami has more access to the talent Nebraska just can't pull them Lawrence Phillips,Tommie Frazier type nikkas from CA or FL like the 90s and lowkey Osborne pretty much sold his soul to win them titles. He brought a lot of "bad boys" into the program because he needed them vs them Florida boys he couldn't beat in January. It's the same with Holtz back in the day at ND they were able to lower standards and bring in that elite talent and questionable guys it's tough for those programs to get back to that level when they playing with one arm.

How the fukk yall let that happen? :scust:


Wake Forest saved the FSU program when they beat us 30-0 lowkey we need to give them rings along with the 2009 USF team for helping FSU trim a lot of fat that was holding us down.

I thought FSU was gonna go the way of Colorado if Bowden stayed around another 2-3 years.

I would agree that they have an easier time and much much better area for talent then Nebraska. Interestingly Riley the past few months has beased recruiting 4 and 5 stars from Cali. But I do think the climate in cfb has changed a lot and I don't know if we'll ever see Miami get back to what it once was

Doesn't mean with the right coach they can't go on a nice run and compete for a title once in awhile but I don't see them being a juggernaut for a decade again

That was big but Florida has too much talent for fsu to ever drop off as bad as Colorado

Like you were saying about Nebraska needing to recruit in states like California so did Colorado and when that dried up with the scandals they were done

With Nebraska Riley the past month has beasted in recruiting in Cali with big time recruits. Will be interesting to see if Nebraska can get back on track recruiting there.if so that would be huge for them

Oh hell Nah FSU still got FLA on lockdown Miami should do cartwheels if they can finally win the ACC coastal. :youngsabo:


What Miami did won't be done again from a school like that. You can't compare Alabama winning 4 out of 8 to a school like Miami winning 4 out of 8 Miami's is more impressive considering the hurdles they had to overcome to pull it off. If I was a fan of Miami I would like to see success that Butch Davis was able to have when he coached from 95-00 I would set expectations at 2-4 losses no more than that.

Trash ass coaching will do that. Look at us, Texas, Michigan before JH, Notre Dame before BK, Ohio State with fickel.

All it takes is the right coach. I think Bo Pelini would've had Miami in the top 10 yearly.

Sad but probably true they won't ever be on "that" level and I think going to the Big Ten made it even more difficult I don't think they can hang with OSU,Michigan money type schools. Nebraska cashed out they look funky as fukk playing schools like Illinois and Northwestern them Nebraska/Kansas St games used to be some of the game I looked forward too every summer now they can't even play :snoop:


Yep, and now they set themselves back a loooooong time getting rid of Pelini

Yep forgot about Colorado watching that 30 for 30 (underrated 30 for 30 BTW) that was one of McCartney main tactics to compete with Nebraska/Oklahoma. Cali got too much talent but those schools in those states gotta do everything they can to get as much talent as possible even states like Texas. Washington was another school that feasted on Cali talent back then and was always a contender all them schools went south at the same time looking back. I don't know if Petey coming to USC was the main issue but for some reason them schools stopped making big hits like they had before.

Surprised you left Alabama's old coaching fiascos off that list. I remember they went from DuBose then to Fraudphoney who bailed on em to hiring Mike Price for a cup of coffee then hiring Mike Shula that was all in a 3 year span. :mjlol:

I think Pelini isn't HC material at them type of schools he too much of a hothead to succeed long term I can see his act getting tired. Watching him arguing the way he was with some players and coaches just had me :snoop: then add you supposed to be a defensive guru yet you giving 63 to Ohio St and 70 to Wisconsin in the championship game.
