Over Macho Grande?

Da Realist:

And this is for D. (see i can only do this for teams that was dominant during a specific period). what is your favorite miami hurricane team of all time and why. and also, what was your most precious victory over the noles. (i'm guessing...2000)

Gangsta D:

You make the questions so easy. The '01 team was the best college football team I've ever seen. Just like I texted you the other day, Gore, Portis, and Magahee were in the backfield. Magahee couldn't even get on the field! How many All-Pros are on that team? Just dominating.
The three best wins over FSU are '91, '00, and '01. '91 was special becuase it was the "Game Of The Century." Everyone was pumping Marvin Jones as the greatest defensive player since God. That was the year they would finally break through. And we went in there and took there hearts. That was the most nerve wracking game I've ever watched. '00 was great because it signaled our return to prominence. Plus you can't beat another FSU kicker choking under the pressure. But my favorite was in '01. There was no way FSU was winning that game. It was one of the best beatdowns I've ever seen. Miami had too much speed, too much talent, too much everything to be contained that day. That was one of the most satisfying sports victories ever.

Da Realist:

fair enough. i could have done without the choking and the "best defensive player since God" references, but i opened it up. i'm mildly surprised you picked 2001 being that the noles were definitely not on top at the time and we played in a monsoon that day. but it was a dominating performance no doubt. i turned away from it in the 3rd quarter.

Gangsta D:

Dude, you know ESPN was touting him as the most dangerous defensive player since LT:) At any rate, '01 was just an all around beating. It's OK, both Syracuse and Washington got it worse later that year:)

Da Realist:

it was so dominating, i didn't really hurt that much. we had no shot at all. i didn't believe we had much of a shot before the game either.

now 2000 and 2002 hurt WAY more than 2001. 2000 felt like i was cut with a knife. it felt like a sharp knife in my side, it cut so bad. at the OB, up by 3 or 4 with 2 minutes left. you march down the field like we didn't play any defense. i cussed out mickey andrews real good for playing that prevent defense and conceding all those yards. don't think he heard me though.

Gangsta D:

I still remember watching that game. Dorsey marches down the field and hits some unkown TE from Aida, OK for the go ahead touchdown:) When they set up for the FG, be honest, did you think he would miss it?

Da Realist:

it crossed my mind

Gangsta D:

I can't sit here and say I knew he would miss it, but I acknowledged it was a DISTINCT possibility:)

Waldini:

as a 3rd party bystander, I can definitely say you guys have amused me in the past 3 weeks with the daily FSU-UM discussions. I refrain from giving any feedback b/c you guys give enough commentary to last a lifetime
