He was good today. 

Yeah, when he wasn't turning it over including the back breaking final INT he was good. That's the problem with Carson Beck. The guy has 6 INTs in y'all's two losses and that's even with getting completely bailed out by a bogus late roughing call on one just to be like "no thanks bros, I'm here to throw picks today" and throw another even worse one like two plays later.

Good. fug this conference.

How many years has Miami been unable to win the ACC? 22?  Wake has been better. What a flop that was.

I agree. fug the ACC. They gambled on expansion years ago to bolster football and the teams they added face planted and all it did was fug up basketball.

Technically this was the correct move for survival. College football greed did ultimately ruin all of college athletics in the end.

But, it was harder to predict that it would be this bad in the 1990's and 2000's. 

The Big Ten is now attempting to put the final nail in college sports with this private equity "investment."

Just imagine how great it will be when they eventually expand the playoff to 24 teams, or more. There will still only be 3 or 4 teams that have a real chance of winning the national championship, but the money-making opportunity will be too irresistible.

The money making opportunities will fade. That era is upon us. 

I have said a collapse is inevitable and I really do believe it.

For college atheltics, a drastic collapse will be the healthiest outcome for the sport in the long term.

Right move with the wrong programs. The ACC bet on the wrong horses. The programs they added to bolster football (Miami and VT) were at the tail end of their runs. Their fans will blame the conference change for their downfall conveniently ignoring the dominant run Clemson had in the same conference at the same time.

I don't know that better options were available at the time. We couldn't poach Big Ten or SEC programs. The Big 12 was not weak enough yet to potentially make a poach there reasonable. Not to mention the big fish(Texass, Texass A&M and Oklahoma) wouldn't likely have come unless we basically handed them over the keys to the entire conference budget.

I agree that those moves hurt but I don't think there were better options and sitting still was a worse solution. The financial rewards they all reaped were substantial. They only cry and moan about it now because they say "Oh the Big Ten and SEC are more!"

Well, those are also the primary drivers of this insanely rapid inflation that is absolutely unsustainable.

Not convinced that it will reach that collapse point, and that is entirely on the fans and consumers of the product.

I think there is something real and tangible to the dissatisfaction from fans about how college football operates in particular with this new age of NIL and transfer portal. 

"There's no loyalty or identity to a school anymore."

"Paid employees."

"Mercenaries and that's all."

Conferences are all done, except for the name. The geography has been obliterated. Historic rivalries are gone and a good chunk of the character of college football has gone with it. Eventually, I see it becoming a set-up akin to how Premiere League Soccer operates, with teams being segregated out. We are very much on that path already.

For years and years, it was operated as a free farm league for the NFL. The only thing that has really changed is it is no longer free. Times change, but it does go against the ethos of what college sports are perceived to be about by the public.

Despite that, consumption remains high.

This guy is such a complete fuging prick.

https://www.facebook.com/share/r/16bh2nLuGq/

Blamed a receiver for running the wrong route on his 4th INT of their first loss and now he's throwing shade at play calling after he seals another loss with another INT where he had all day in the pocket, the pocket was still clean, and he just chose to throw the football to a defender. How can a Miami fan watch this poo and cry about refs? Your problem is this dog poo asshole playing QB.

We'd have won it the last two years if the ACC wasn't hell bent on stopping us.

Best we've been able to do is win the Coastal, which is poor.

Lord almighty. This is even more delusional than the Bryce stans. LOL 

Last year y'all had a great offense and a JV defense and this year y'all have a great team held back by an egomaniacal jackass of a QB that literally everyone in the football world correctly predicted would be a disaster.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
