You don't know a lot of things.
Fuck off and get out of here. You're a dip shit.
That was a really hard hitting, violent game. Very entertaining. Sorry Creep, your boys played a hell of a game.

Like I said a few weeks ago: if you had told me Miami would even be in this game during the "gotta win out convincingly" stretch of the season, I'd have said you were crazy.
They're going to miss those defensive ends. Will be interesting to see how he cobles together the D next season w/o them.
Oh fuck. Whatever. I'm actually not that pissed. Indiana is good. Really good.

Here's another difference, and with all of my frustrations with Cristobal, I'm actually rather serious:
Mario: ready for playoffs
Lanning: not ready for playoffs
Mario did some important things at Oregon in terms of program wins. Lanning's resume, if I were a Duck, is a little mixed. Mario beat Petersen when UW had it going on. Lanning has not. That's a big deal. Lanning has had some nice in-season wins, but so did Cristobal. I still say the road win over that Buck team, and the way he did it, was one for the books. I'm not sure Lanning has that kind of win yet. Maybe I'm forgetting. Mario has the "you lost to who?" problem that Lanning doesn't seem to have, so that plays in Lanning's favor.
I'm not a big Mario fan anymore, and this little run hasn't changed that, but I think there's an argument that there is an element of Cristobal's resume that is better than Lanning's. Not to mention that Lanning inherited a fully functional program whereas Cristo has walked into two broken programs, particularly Miami where Diaz left a cancerous team culture and forced him to completely clean house.
Food for thought. It's easy to look at Lanning and think he's the better coach but it's not all that clear to me. Indiana is really good so there's no shame in losing to them, but Oregon was simply not ready to be there ... again. They have enough talent to make that a better fight than they did. Same with last year.

That game was much closer than I expected. If that game had been reffed tighter, Indiana wins rather easily. Miami was allowed to dirty it up, which allowed them to stay in the game. Entertaining game. Respect to Indiana. Must be nice to have a real coach and boosters that want to win.

Horrific. It's listed in the Miami Herald right now, with its own bullet.
Not sure who he thought was going to help out there or who he thought he needed to block instead. The air maybe?

Indiana just won a natty with the #72 "talent composite" in the country, 3rd lowest in P4.
Behind Oregon State, too.

Won't even kick in $5 for the year, but are making demands?

I can assure you I am not making any demands.

I'll concede a couple hits on Mendoza that should have been called in the first drive or two. I'm not sure that allowed them to stay in the game or that it makes it a blow-out and think you're underestimating what Miami did to stay in the game. "Rather easily" is a stretch.
And money and a portal.
