I'm cratering in these bowl picks but more importantly I was very distressed to see that Miami played like they left the motor in the bus running for the Sun Bowl. I know they are between coaches but, having watched the ESPN "30 for 30" installment of "The U" just the day before, how disappointing it was to see those guys just go through the motions against a very mediocre Notre Dame team. The old Hurricanes of JJ or Erickson would have pounded and pummeled (or died trying) the Irish regardless of the record.
There is so much more recruitment competition now with UCF, USF, FIU and Florida Atlantic now all D-1 schools that the lure and legend of the U is starting to fade I fear. Al Golden had better be all that if this program is ever to regain its rightful place as a major football power in the NCAA because right now they just look awful.
