Football in 3 days sec east also ran vs acc champ virgins

PSA   8/24/19 7pm (6 central) on ESPN (checks calendar) this fucking Saturday!

Sure it's at a small corporate sellout stadium in Florida's armpit,  but it's actually college football so it's probably worth a thread.

This is a rivalry game and it will absolutely be chippy on the field and in the stands.  It's probably going to be sloppy and feature a lot of the usual 1 game suspensions usually reserved for the opening day cupcake.

So who you got Manny 'Blizerian' Aiz 

Manny-Diaz-returning-to-Miami-Hurricanes

or Adult 'onset' Eddy Munster?

Interesting that you bring that up because one of my degenerate gambler friends told me that two of Florida's starting DBs were going to be suspended for this game.

Doesn't sound right, but if that's the case it's gonna suck.  The Gata has no depth at DB.   These things get announced Saturday morning and are notoriously held very close until then.  I have heard that Franks is out, the 2 best wrs for the Canes are out... all kinds of crazy shit ($9.95 etc)  it's the off season.  Viva la On Season!

 

 

ps...  I mention the 1 game suspensions because I always like to see who got busted for smoking pot during the summer...  Gainesville Green is a thing

Some people weren't intending it to be a game thread, some people just wanted to talk about the season getting started. Maybe talk about the match up, share predictions, ridicule other teams/conferences, talk about Grizzly Diaz.

 

Mods, if this is a game thread please change the title according to the strict Surly doctrine/format before someone strokes out.

GO GATORS!

I've always thought wearing your team's gear to a game in which they aren't playing was aggy's thing.

Arizona @ Hawaii after that one. Should be interesting with Arizona having one of the worst pass D in the country last year.

Excellent. Hitting up a brewery before this one so I'll be good and loose to start the season. Hoping for some early holes in the SEC's armor so we finally get a new national narrative for the year. Go Canes.

Also, gotta say I like Miami +7.5. The 2012-13 Diaz years at Texas have shown to be the outlier in his career. He has some talented vets coming back on defense - we've seen what he can do with such players so I'd expect that to be a good unit, and Florida doesn't really scare anyone on offense. Miami may not pull out the W due to their own offensive ineptitude but I think it'll be a one score game.

I think the big concern for Miami is that they are starting a RS-FR QB and two FR at OT. The RT is a RS-FR and the LT is a true FR who enrolled in December at 235 lbs, and is apparently now up to 285. We've witnessed first hand how debilitating a young, undersized OL can be to your offense.

The under may be a good play, but it's dropped from 50.5 to 47.

My only concern with the under is that if either team can run it up, they will run it up.    Being a homer, I think the Gata wins by 13.   As new as the OL is, the skill positions are loaded.

Oh are we going back to doing stupid thread titles on game threads instead of just saying the teams?

The thread title raises and interesting point.  It was supposed to be a major get when the ACC brought in Miami and VT.  VT has done OK, winning the conference 3 times, but the Canes have been a big disappointment without Big East weaklings to feast on.  Instead, the conference has mostly belonged to traditional powers Clemson and FSU.

I’ve not been too impressed with Miami over the past decade so I am picking Go Gata’ In this one. And I will certainly be watching, Hell, it’s football!

Remember, it's also Manny _iaz at the helm. He taught Texas defenders head on the wrong side "Gator roll"  tackling. Fuck him. Fuck Miami.

Go Gators!
