I'm a die-hard, orange-and-green to the bone Canes fan.
Miami LOST that 2003 NC game - anyone saying different either watched a different game, or has blinders on. I've said it before, I'll say it again: That PI call, did not END the game, only EXTENDED it, meaning Miami had a chance to WIN the game, which it did not. THAT is ignoring the OOB call on Gamble, which should've been a first down, and OSU runs out the clock anyway.
That being said, I agree with what that quote says.
The only recent problem child I can remember, was Clarett, and I'm sure that surprised even JT, but "a Reggie Bush he ain't." I'm sure people have tried to dig DEEP and HARD (damn that sounds funny) into the OSU program, and for a few years now, and what have they found?
Nothing.
My opinion on this OSU team, is they have an EXTREMELY workman-like attitude and output.
No, there's no golden-arm, 31/35 451 yards, 4TD, 0 INT passer...
No, there's no 30 rushes for 271 yards, 3 TD running back...
But you know what? It's not needed.
Everyone on the squad does there job, and does it well.
Take for example the picks where the Miami receivers bobbled into OSU's hands... Some would say those were 2-3 lucky plays.
Well, maybe...
But if the OSU players were not WHERE THEY WERE SUPPOSED to be, then they wouldn't have made the plays...
Doing their jobs, and doing it well.
You don't need a team of superstars to win a NC.
You DO need a squad who does their jobs, do it right, have some cnap in their step, have gameday focus, and all work as a team.
That is EXACTLY what I saw Saturday from the scarlet and gray.
Personally? I hope you guys go far. Team is talented, WELL coached, and focused.
Beat us fair and square, and I enjoyed watching the game.
Now, THAT above may [censored] off some supposed "canes fans," but those can kiss my @ss. A REAL Canes fan would admit the OBVIOUS, and at least have enough fuggin' decency to give some props...This game is first and foremost about teamwork, leadership, and mutual respect.
If you can't respect the teams and players, whether your team or others, then GTFO and watch billiards or golf - we don't need your type associated with CFB.

I don't need to look it up. I'm absolutely certain that's the first time I've ever given a Cane a GPA. Well deserved I might add.
