Can’t afford any let downs!

Last three opponents have a combined record of something like 6-20.

Need to remember it’s possible to lose to anyone if you don’t take care of business. Just ask Georgia Tech, Louisville and UNC.

Just ask Merrimack. They lost to UMASS!

More importantly, did they lose to Monitor… or was it a draw?

UMass beat Army who just beat Air Force.

Akron showed some signs of life before Irons was out for the season (should’ve beaten IU) and came back last week against Kent State, but they’re pretty lousy this year. Take nothing for granted, but we should win this by 3 TDs at the minimum.

We just have to prove it in the field.

Week 10 uniform

Miami tribe helmet
Gray jersey
Gray pants

I believe it was a draw if memory serves correct. Monitor sank being towed to port for repairs after the battle.

First time wearing these grey unis right? We had the ones with the red should stripe with the old combo, but don’t recall these.

They wore them last year also. They got them after the Frisco Bowl since the players got to keep their jersey.

Drop all the zeroes…just like that…math for the new generation…duh.

I’ve never been a fan of the gray uniforms. Our colors are red and white.

Now get off my lawn.

Hi hope they open up the offense a bit with Aveon. They haven’t exactly let him throw much and we can’t rely on Amos the rest of the season or they will start stacking the box. If Akron is an easier team on our schedule, let see what Aveon can do.

Wow, I scolded my daughter(a Miami sophomore) for wearing grey to the homecoming game. I informed her in no uncertain terms that our colors are red and white. Does this mean I owe her an apology?

I think Aveon actually makes things easier for Amos in some respects. Teams can’t crash as aggressively on obvious running plays if the QB is a threat to pull the ball and run it himself. Teams didn’t respect Gabbert’s running ability at all (which is why he was able to pull off some big runs despite not being particularly mobile). Amos was only averaging 3.9 ypc against FBS opponents prior to the OU game (3.5 if you take out the UMass game) and he went for 7.8 ypc against OU.

Anybody out there want two tickets dead nuts on the 50 for tomorrow’s game? Seats 18 & 19 Row 26.
The 50 extended into the stands and your seat will give you one nut on the north side of 50 and one on the south.

Might go to Buffalo but it’s too late getting home for me for an Akron game that should be a rout. I’ve gone to MACTION games and gotten home at 1am’ish and stuggled to stay awake while driving. If it was going to be a good game maybe.

PM me and I’d be happy to transfer them to you.
