Miami (FL) Hurricanes (1926-2003)

Pardon me, but didn't this event happen 12 some years ago, Mr. Farrell? Who the fuck cares any longer?

More confirmation that OSU broke the Miami program that night.

They stilllllll aren't over it and knowing it eats at them like that brings me no small amount of pleasure.

Uh, no. My mother is from Jacksonville, very much on the coast. Summers there gave new meaning to the word "oppressive". If that's your (or anyone's) cup of tea, fine. I hate it.

Not meaning buxfan4life, but those from there that run weather smack usuallly run from their air-conditioned house to the their air-conditioned car to their air-conditioned destination. It's just unpleasant a climate to be in, IMHO.

I never spent much time in Florida (and never on the coast).
But if it's anything like here on the Louisiana coast, it's hell all summer long.
No such thing as spring or fall.
Winter last about 8 days, but they're scattered across 3 months.

Isn't that why y'all build your houses on stilts? To get the under-breeze going?

Joking aside, I had a client in NO and in summers they always requested that the met us in our Chicago offices. Totally understand why.

One of my friends is from the NO area, and she always says the Orlando swamp weather gets close but still not quite as bad as things could get in her area of swamps. Inland is definitely quite a bit worse than coastal areas as far as the heat and humidity go here in Florida. The weather on the coast is definitely more of a recruiting pitch for Miami than the weather for Gainesville (but still attractive for kids from up north. I know I don't miss dealing with snow and ice!).

I know we've deviated from running down the Hurricanes, but to continue...

Columbus isn't really the fucking Arctic, you shovel a couple of times a year and deal with below freezing a handful of times. It isn't really that bad. People talk like we are all Nanooks of the North and that simply isn't the case.

On a side note, I always found it humorous when some of our fans cried about getting some of the southern teams to play up here in "the ice and snow". I know the great snow game vs Michigan before they hired Woody, some snow in a game vs Penn St when Butler By'no'te was our RB, and the ice game vs Michigan with Beanie Wells. Other than that, when has OSU played in the snow? Also, any game vs a southern team would occur pre-B1G season putting it in Aug-Sept. It would be FAR more likely to be 90s and humid than snowing. :lol:

You are correct, but I always took it to mean bowl games in the elements. With the addition of the Pinstripe Bowl why the hell can't we play a bowl game in some northern football weather. Yeah, yeah. The fans won't travel or the city isn't a summer tourist hotspot. Half the games now don't have shit for fans anyways unless it is the Buckeyes or some other traditional powerhouse. I want to see how those players adapt to the environment and see if it really does matter. Fuck PedSU and BC in the Pinstripe Bowl. Let's see Wisconsin vs LSU or USC.

In three years under Urban the Buckeyes have played seven of their twelve November games with a game time temp in the mid 30s or below. The wind speeds typically rise to 15mph + (30+ when playing in Bloomington or Champaign), and there has been one game played in snow each year (2012 Michigan, 2013 Indiana, 2014 at Minnesota) even if there was minimal accumulation on the field.

As conference realignment has diluted conference schedules, and teams look to book more P5 OOC opponents to boost strength of schedule, I would not be surprised if ADs begin looking at a big picture, national schedule to provide some better OOC games later in the season. The SEC has been playing an FCS/Sun Belt cupcake the week ahead of "rivalry week" for years. If other conferences were not averse to have conference games in September, there would be slots in the back half of the calendar for OOC. It would also solve the problem we've seen for three weeks in a row where the mid season schedule isn't very compelling.
