Miami is not a great team.

We are going to find out (one way or the other) which of these two teams IS for real Saturday Night. The winner of this game if (and ONLY if) they win out, will be in the 4-team playoff. This could be the best game of the weekend.

If one of the teams isn't for real, then beating that team isn't going to make the other 'for real'.

We will find out something, I guess, like if TRE loses a bet with his Rolly Klown ko-workers and has to wear a red rubber ball-gag with the Statue of Liberty outfit next week.

At this point it is safe to assume that if they get beat it will be because they got outplayed, which is possible this week. But I think whatever changed - Slaughter staying out of the offense chief among candidates - is not likely to revert back this season.

This is where I am on this one.

I expect BC to run the same game plan as the last 3 weeks. I also wouldn't be surprised or particularly disappointed if we lose a close one. I'll be upset if we get blown out, but this might be the toughest remaining game on the schedule. Win this week and 8-4 seems really possible, a mark that would've been laughable a few weeks ago.

All and all, I'm enjoying the excitement going into week 10. It's been a while...

They just punched Louisville in the mouth all game. That worked (barely.)

They just punched UVa in the mouth all game. That worked (decisively.)

They just punched FSU in the mouth for the first 3 quarters until it no longer mattered. That worked (convincingly.)

I am convinced all this team has to do (to win every remaining game) is just have the offensive line punch the defensive line right in the mouth. Screw complicated spread offenses and trick plays. Punch them. Run over them. Exhaust them. I want the defensive linemen to be standing in the huddle with their hands on their hips, completely spent.

my fear is the history of this program to get it's fan base to this level, believing and rising up thinking everything is free and clear... and then deliver the swift shot to the onions bringing us back down to earth

I'm so glad to be in the rising up position again (not to be confused with what happens when you get rocket-carred) that I don't even care. I'm spread eagle for an onions shot and fine with it

I know there are some in the Daz apology thread who would view an NCS loss as the Lucy-pulling-the-ball trick that we have all come to expect. However, I (and I assume most of the board with a functioning temporal lobe) still have no confidence in Daz's... especially as a head coach and a continued restraint from ruining everything. Accordingly, a loss to NCS is not some sort of WTF, but a wholly expected result when you put an idiot in a position of authority. Aside for my penchant for having a memory that extends beyond a month, I'd like to point out that, to truly create another "BC moment": (1) BC would win this week and next, (2) stars allign for a decent bowl (helped by 2 of Miami/Clemson/ND winning out and FSU finishing 6-6), and then (3) we'd get obliterated by Cuse.
