Sadly, I have to keep this brief. Much like Randy Shannon’s career at Miami.
Look, we all know why we hate Miami. There’s the bitter rivalry going back to the Big East. The huge games that swung someone into a big bowl game. But it seems like right now, there is one thing that really grinds our gears…
Fucking. Swagger.
This swagger shit is so unbelievably played out that we don’t know where to start in breaking it down.
I guess we’ll start with last year. 9-4 huh? A loss in the Champs Sports Bowl? Yeah man, SWAGGER!!!
They haven’t won a conference championship since 2003. They haven’t won a National Championship since Nebraska was good (remember that?). But really guys, SWAGGER!!
As I said in my preview for RSS, if you want Swagger, go pick up Flogging Molly's first album. The shit is awesome.
No one ever says, “Oh man, the Pirates were good in the 90’s, I bet they are going to tear it up in 2010!” Because coaches change, programs change, and players change (you know, since changing players is kind of a central tenet of college sports). I know it’s not just Miami (see Notre Dame, Michigan, the entire SEC). But Miami is certainly the main perpetrator in the ACC.
But this year’s group? They’re different. They’ve got SWAGGER!! They’re so badass, they don’t even need to be good at football.
Here’s how the season will break down for the Hurricanes:
- September – ESPN says, “OMFG Miami is swagger-tastic!”
- October – Lose a devastating game by 30 points, drop from #3 to #22 in the polls.
- November – Lose 3 more games, fire Randy Shannon, hire shit coach, repeat past 3 years.
- December – NOT play in the ACC Championship Game and lose in some crap bowl in Des Moines.
So we've got two things to say to Miami AND ESPN...
See you in November, bitches.
