Miami's early season gauntlet nothing new.

Rivals.com College Football - Miami's early season gauntlet nothing new
Miami can only hope the next month boosts its BCS hopes as much as its frequent-flyer account.
The Hurricanes' showdown Saturday with Ohio State kicks off a three-game road swing that also includes trips to preseason Big East favorite Pittsburgh and defending ACC Atlantic Division champion Clemson. Miami follows that up by playing host to No. 17 Florida State, so the Hurricanes will face four bowl teams from last season in their first five games.

Allen Bailey and the Hurricanes are used to a tough start to the season. USC is the only other school from the six major conferences to leave home for three of its first four games, and its three road foes during that stretch (last Thursday's 49-36 victory at Hawaii, Sept. 18 at Minnesota, Sept. 25 at Washington State) aren't nearly as challenging as Miami's upcoming trips.
Many schools might complain about that gauntlet. Miami welcomes the challenge. After all, it's nothing new.
"We've played teams like that before," defensive end Allen Bailey said this summer. "We can do it."
Indeed, Miami opened last season with four brutal matchups that had many writing off the Hurricanes before the season even started.

I have good news and bad news.

The bad news is only for me: On Tuesday, I was informed that the company I work for is closing their Tallahassee facility. My job goes bye-bye in 2 months.

The good news is, the last time I got news like this, Ohio State's next opponent was Miami. I seem to remember that turning out OK.

Stadium seats 75,192
City has a population of 362,470 (2000 Census)

Fans dont win games. You're right. They support the home team. Or... not... I guess.

Of course, I forgot. No doubt some 300,000 people are awed by the ever present Wayans brothers. Hard to go to a game when they're seen wandering around. I get it.

My guess is that when it comes to Miami games the brothers must know their wayan.
