Isn't that what everybody said in 2002 when we went up against an "unbeatable" Miami team and BEAT them? We beat them with CRAIG KRENZEL for God's sake.
Paraphrasing, here: Being called an idiot by ca5150 is like being called ugly by a frog.

Because that Miami team was supposedly unbeatable, especially by a team that was seen as far inferior.
Suppose we did make it to the NC game this year, Florida St. is not "bulletproof". Was just making a reference that no matter the odds, if you show up and play anything can happen. We could have been embarrassed, but it could have also went the other way as well.

2002 Miami allowed more than twice the points of the 2001 team (217 to 103 going into the bowl games). It was a bunch of freshmen and sophomores who weren't anywhere close to what they would become.
The funny thing is that there's only a handful of people within the game whose opinion I truly trust as being unbiased and logical, and every one of them picked OSU in that game. Hell, I picked OSU in that game, and I despise them.
Would you take them this year? OSU is a 3 pt favorite atm. I imagine the over/under will be substantial.

Over/under is currently 68, and the spread is down to OSU by 2.5 (opened at 5). For entertainment purposes only, of course.
If the bettors watched OSU with their eyes open the last month or so, Clemson will be a favorite going into the game. Meyer keeps saying they have to fix the pass defense. Unless you're going to get better players, the pass defense isn't getting fixed in a month. I'm surprised the over/under is only 68. This could be a game where the two teams put up a hundy.

I wasn't even calling him out, it was the 14-15 people that all jumped all over Dubi for a weak call, quite a few aren't even regulars on here. Didn't see any of them running there mouth's tonight.
