To big to actually march. And very boring.
They have their own intro on the video boards now, so they don't actually play when they march into the stadium.

Here is a UL review of the game. It is actually damn good and very fair so far. But skip to 16:30 in the video where UCF gets flagged for holding.
Charlie Strong for some reason declines the penalty. GOL at that very second knows the game is about over for that move after the comeback. Strong must have had no faith the defense could stop the offense on another down. Apparently Strong right after had a look on his face like he should have accepted it. I must have been too many beers in because I didn't notice GOL's reaction as it was happening.

I predict Florida will give up 6 sacks this weekend. And another injured starter.

I'll just go ahead and give you guys my pre-emptive meltdown about what sanctions Miami receives tomorrow:
"The NCAA is a fucking joke... we all knew this was going to be a slap on the wrist, but come the fuck on. It's amazing how corrupt this fucking organization is and I'm sure Paul Dee's fat fucking face has a smile on it even as he rots in hell, the bastard. Thanks for the death penalty you hypocritical fucks. Dee reigns over one of the most corrupt teams in the nation and has the gall to call out USC for not knowing about a single player taking money from an ex-con wannabe agent, well in another city away from the school? Then, while USC can't even acknowledge Reggie Bush, Ohio State gets to carry fucks like Tressel off the field, when he straight-up actually hid information from the NCAA, goddamn proof and all.
I wish the BoT would have the guts to just sue these corrupt assholes. If McNair can do it, and everybody in college football knows we got screwed, why not? We have players dropping like flies because we don't have enough depth to sub 'em out, so they play even when they shouldn't be. But yeah, I'm sure the NCAA cares about the welfare of the student athletes above all else, that's why they're punishing a bunch of kids who weren't even in high school when this shit went down. Way to go."
Here's my prediction for the Miami sanctions, btw:
- No bounties permitted for the first half of the game against Wake Forest.
- Miami must correctly spell and pronounce it as "The U" from now on. 5 year probation from calling it "Da U."
- Miami must remain in the ACC.
- Miami's booster-funded prostitute allowance for the team is reduced by 5 prostitutes, per year, for the next 3 years. (aka the "Craig James rule")
- Absolutely no more paid-for abortions, under any circumstances, unless Miami gets to a BCS bowl in which case the NCAA may make an exception
Ask him if he has survivor's guilt for not blowing out his knee when they played Tennessee.

The ncaa needs to make an example of miami. Their sanctions should be worse than what penn state initially got.
Hookers and blow is worse than covering up child rape?

I think the only good pick I made was picking UCF. And I mistakenly bubbled in Stanford instead of UCLA and resulted in winning my football card..lol

Looking at this completely impartially and ignoring the human factor. Note that I am in no way downplaying what happened at college station
One effectively was cheating on the field. One really wasnt. Maimi gained a competitive advantage by forcing girls into prostitution and giving them to players as a recruiting tactic.
Not reporting a child rapist is absolutely hideous. But in terms of pure football, didnt do much in terms of an unfair advantage on the field. NCAA needs to stop trying to be the moral compass of society when they themselves are participating in the explotation of young men and woman every saturday.
Punish cheaters to the fullest extent, begin to right the ship now. Stop being a punching bag to these programs who think they are beyond sanctions regardless of what they do. Its a pipedream, I know. They won't do anything.
Covering up and enabling repeated child rape by your defensive coordinator doesn't give you a competitive advantage? I would think a coach raping children and that news getting out would hurt recruiting and (likely) end up in the coach being fired and jailed. That might not help the program.
I kind of feel that people were harder on Zook because he always sounded like an idiot. Muschamp sounds smart and is very motivational, giving people more (misplaced?) confidence in him.
Zook never had anything as good as an 11-2 season, but he still won a lot of big games (beating Nick Saban's NC winning LSU team, beating Bowden in Tallahassee, something Spurrier never did). If Muschamp goes 6-6 this year (which I think is very possible, if not likely), he will have close to the same record Zook did in 3 years.

Well I'll get to see them live in about a month and judge for myself. As far as DUMB goes (yep, DUMB) it would be nice if the band leaders didn't have the taste of 13 year old girls. One Direction isn't the first.
Do you know how embarrassing it is to watch the band follow NCCU's Michael Jackson tribute halftime routine with songs by Katy Perry? Its like having to ask for an extra piece of candy for your delusional brother who skips tricks or treats to wait for a mythical being in a pumpkin patch.

Miami punishment: 9 scholarships (3 per year), no bowl ban.
We will see if they will stick to their word and appeal.

Yeah it's "light", but we already banned ourselves from 2 bowls and last year's ACCCG, and reduced scholarships. So it's much more of a punishment than just 9 scholarships.
Appeal what? That's a joke compared to the infractions that were committed. Seriously, I don't see why every school doesn't just ignore the rules at this point and just tries to be careful enough to not get caught for a few years.
Seriously, 2 years to investigate this, and that's all they're doing to Miami? A school that already had a similar incident in the 90's with Luther Campbell? How does this not get them a Lack of Institutional Control? They're fucking Miami, they should have things in place to prevent this given their checkered past.
USC laughs at this punishment.
Fuck you autocorrect, at least it was as bad as Obama's online.

True. But Zook was on a downslide. He was an awesome recruiter, but he made no allies anywhere else, same as Meyer. (Meyer had better assistants and could manage the flow of a game much better, so it was handled with gritted teeth) Zook's teams could out talent some people, but when it came to having to coach, he was outmatched. Remember us losing to the MSU team that lost at home to Maine?
Zook also had a full cupboard, as it were. He didn't kick anyone off the team and inherited solid lines. Muschamp inherited a mess and that's why people are giving him more of a chance. But it only extends one more year than Zook. If the slide continues he will be let go next year.
What is this blind spot regarding Miami? tOSU is much more of a good ol' boy. Miami is getting the Bear Bryant/Vince Dooley treatment.
You underestimate the band's size. I think it's $0.25 for each member.
NCAA really fucked up the Miami investigation, and Miami did impose penalties unlike MCU and USC.
Miami had a really good chance of winning an appeal on anything more serious.
The good thing is they did go after the coaches hard.
Clint Hurrt the super recruiter for Louisville got a two year show cause.
