did the documentary touch on the dozen or so missed holding penalties and Jenkins catch to seal the game in 4th quarter that was incorrectly ruled out of bounds which allowed them to get the ball back? Or what about the block in back on punt return that wasn't called which allowed them to kick FG at end?

if anything the stripes kept them in the game, they didn't steal it from them.

I know these things are always viewed from the lens of the protagonist, but even at the end when they were walking through all of the stats and posted about how they had the most national championships from 83 through 03 and had a #6 on the screen until a flag was thrown and they knocked it back to a #5, I couldn't help but think that a decade later there are people that still can't get over it.

I wish I still had that article from some football referee website that lauded the call and showed step-by-step why it was a valid call. In fact, the call could've been called two ways: defensive holding and pass interference.

Yeah, they act like spoiled school children. It was the correct call and they can't admit to themselves that they didn't take OSU seriously and were severely surprised when we busted them in the nose and they reacted poorly. Dan Fouts' call of that play and showed his true colors and it is hardly surprising that his days as an analyst were soon over after that game. Only one guy said that OSU should get credit because they brought it that night. Fuck the U and everything they espouse....

That was Chris Gamble. :pimp:



Of course, I've had idiots use that to "prove" the refs were "letting them play" all day until the 4th down call. Crybabies are always gonna cry.

I was looking forward to part II but was somewhat let down. Part I was really engaging because of both the rise of Miami football under Schnellenberger as well as the outsized personalities on those teams in the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

This one tried to paint out the early 2000 teams as more clean-cut than the earlier teams, and they probably were. But sorry, but that's not that interesting. Butch Davis ain't no Schnellenberger and Larry Coker ain't no Jimmy Johnson, that's for sure. I guess the Nevin Shapiro bit was somewhat entertaining, but IMO Miami has been left in the dust as a program by the SEC and even other teams in the ACC. They have no lockdown on the "State of Miami" anymore.

Yep

If that game is played in 2014 it never goes to OT but you know what? After all this time it's even sweeter knowing that it eats them alive.

It isn't schadenfreude so much as pure malicious joy I feel when they cry. It is glorious.

I think it's near impossible for any region to keep their best at home, with not only average facilities but camps now that are located all over America allowing kids to travel all over the country and play the best and get accustomed to other cities and climates. Also with coaches moving so much to different positions and different regions, they bring their ties with them. There are too many coaches on staffs throughout the nation that have south Florida ties, and poach players from those regions yearly. Schools like OSU, WEst VA, Pitt, UNC, Purdue, Louisville, Arkansas, etc are far from South Florida and have plucked players from south Florida.
