Miami Head Coach: Mario Manuel Cristobal:  age=53, (15–13 @Miami and 77–73 overall); has a rep’ for oLine, Te’s, and ELITE **** and **** recruiting.
$8,ooo,ooo.oo

Cristobal previously was the head football coach at Florida International University (FIU) from 2oo7 to 2o12 and for the University of Oregon from 2o17 to 2o21. He was an all-conference offensive tackle on the Miami Hurricanes football team that won national championships in 1989 and 1991.

Baller Cristobal played high school football at Christopher Columbus High School in Miami.

He played collegiate football for the Miami Hurricanes football team at the University of Miami, where he was a four-year letterman between 1988 and 1992. Cristobal played under Hall of Fame coach Jimmy Johnson and Dennis Erickson.[1] During his four seasons, the Hurricanes won two national championships (1989 and 1991). In 1992, Cristobal earned First-Team All-Big East Conference as an offensive tackle. Professional Cristobal signed a free-agent contract with the Denver Broncos in 1994 as an undrafted free agent. He played for the Amsterdam Admirals of NFL Europe in 1995 and 1996 before retiring to pursue a coaching career.

Student Cristobal graduated from the University of Miami in 1993 with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from the University of Miami School of Business and later earned a master’s degree there in 2oo1. Advanced degree props! After his football playing career ended, Cristobal went through a two-year application process to become a U.S. Secret Service agent and was offered a job in 1998. Then a first-year graduate assistant at the University of Miami, Cristobal had even said his goodbyes to fellow Hurricanes players before changing his mind the next morning and deciding to stick with coaching… WoW.

After being an Ass.Coach (Te’s) at Rutgers and back at Miami, On December 19, 2006, Cristobal was named the second head coach in FIU’s history. He also was the first Cuban-American head coach in Division I-A. In three years, he built a pretty puny Florida International University into a winner, including a shocking bowl win in 2o1o. Cristobal carries a reputation of being an excellent recruiter; he wears a customary shirt and tie along with dress pants for each and every game to honor his idol, Joe Paterno. He was also named the fittest coach currently in the FBS according to an ESPN blog.

Cristobal is known as an elite recruiter. During his 4 seasons at Alabama, the Crimson Tide finished with the top-ranked recruiting class each year. Cristobal was a key part of the Tide’s recruiting dominance as the primary recruiter for multiple 5* recruits and future first-round NFL draft picks. In 2o15 Cristobal was named the top recruiter in the nation by 247Sports, ESPN, Rivals, and Scout. SNAP! As a double-Duck, Cristobal signed the 8th, 12th and 6th ranked recruiting classes, which included the #1 overall recruit and future #5 overall draft pick Kayvon Thibodeaux. Geeez…

At P.A.C.-1o Oregon… Cristobal went 35–13 (.729) and then went .667 in the post-season. 3 Conference Championship blings and coaching and recruiting and fitness awards later and he is a very intriguing Miami Hurricane hire. Eye mean… what mo’ do you want(s)?

Cristobal and his wife, Jessica, were married in June 2006 and have two sons,
Mario Mateo and Rocco. Kaylee Cristobal is his niece.

Happy B-day+3, too!

2023 record: 7 up  6 down and 3–5 T–9th in the A.c.c.

Foe’rensics:

Miami Defense: (starters back=4)

• (semi)-bad-azz in Total D.
• 9.5 of 1o: in dLine Havoc. The highlight up front: ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year Bain. And if veteran end Akheem Mesidor, who can also play tackle, gets back to form after surgeries on both feet, the Bain-Mesidor tandem should be tough to beat. UM will integrate transfers C.J. Clark (NC State) and Marley Cook (Middle Tennessee) into the tackle rotation.
  This is a ruff-n-tumble front-wall folks. Strongest of da U’s 3-D layers. De1, Tyler Baron, stud. Sunday baller too. Dt1, Simeon Barrow Jr., prolly NFL roster or not less than fringe quality.
  (UPDATE: word ’round the campfire says: star lineman Rueben Bain having missed all but a few plays of the opener against Florida— is nearing a return). Yikes.
• 6 from 1o: in Linebacking Havoc. The Canes got a gift when middle linebacker Francisco Mauigoa, the older brother of Francis, returned for one more season. Mauigoa had 18 tackles for a loss, a team-leading 7.5 sacks (tied with Freshman All-America defensive end Rueben Bain Jr.), one interception, seven Qb hurries, and two forced fumbles. Lb1, Francisco Mauigoa pro’ baller in his own right.
• VIII outta X: in Secondary Havoc. UM departed star safeties Kamren Kinchens and James Williams to the NFL Draft. The news is better at cornerback, where senior Daryl Porter Jr., Marshall transfer Dyoni Hill, and Washington transfer Mishael Powell (nickelback) are expected to start.

 

• D overall:
• Film-Study:
  Miami can deign to call this a: “3o” or a “4o-2” at times… though they mix-n-match their staggers and raw number of peeps assigned to the L.O.S. well enuf. Some of it was even and some of it was odd. Or, a headache on a short week! Some two-point stancing to boot.
  Miami is not super-duper physical. Less parts w.Sapp in historic terms. Tho’ they are quick, jumpy, and jittery upon breaking tape.
  Miami will press/jam on edge and they toggle the strength of such inside-out and outside-in alike. They have a Centerfielder or a mo’ traditional Fs/Ss split. D kinda has a mid-line symerity to it. Which tells you just how much they trust their speed-concepts. You need to dive the length of the field here…

• There are a couple of seams off this mid-line look; and they are trickeration needy at times… though they also self-correct with alacrity. They beat you to your spot on Scouting the verb and track-meet quality feets. Swift in the cleats and in the film-room seats is a lot to bear. Maybe a pure mauler BIG old O might have something for this? Tho’ less a recalcitrant recanting Cobra-Ky’, who we jumbo gots?
  Secondary plays the ‘ball ALL day all the way. Aggressively.
  D plays upfield like mother-lover. (As you will Lo.FM… see…)
  Very gap-jumping set. Our guys not named the dingy-X may suffer at least 8 left-feet, (1o, if he is illin’) accordingly…
• ∑ (summary): returning D production=53% (84th most). is your conflict defender here.

Defensive letter grade: A-. Virtually a full A mind yah;
jus’ a little too forward-facing on aggression itself which overlays a few plays themselves.

Miami Offense: (returning starters=9)

• BAD azz in Total O.

• O overall:
• ∑ (summary): returning O production=79% (18th most!)
  Kinda a Coach Bo McMillin O. Like a Shoot-n-Run (in inverted ordinate) O.
  Film-study:
  Sans hammering the minutia of the modern basketball on grass-era parlance?
  THIS IS A VERY BAD MATCH-UP. Period. Full-stop. Do not pass Go. Which segues effortlessly enuff… as da U schemes to stress S’s and Mikes. Think of it as an anti-Tampa set and you have the basis of it right as rain. The airwaves could be Cat-V here folks. As in… this is a richrod primo era: “Indy or Turbo” set O. ‘bang-bang’ football and the football is away quickly and pointedly. Not brutally Big X physical; tho’ turf-wars gone M.Irving and Co. O.G. trackmeet.

• Eye saw the following… Miami reminds a pinch of @O.d.u. They narrow their A-C Gap splits and flirt with Barbosville ’84 Pirates heel-to-heel. THEN… they stretch you horizontal max’ outside of that, or sorta close enuff. Meaning… they leave you a lotta grass to mow and weeds to whack. Their game trails are trunk’cated. They hit QUICK. In-n-out.. quick. Kinda reminds of the Houston O.G. look too. Lottsa picks (if you D) or rubs (if you O) and all kinda check-downs and dump-offs. Their Qb1 has suffered a quickie reincarnation of sorts here. Career year. They (surprisingly and frighteningly alike) have a mind-boggling eleventeen, that’s (11) guys with at least one HR length reception thus far (pun intended). 11 guys with ≥22-yards or better on at least one sang. And they have not less than 25 of these thus far. WOW. I mean WOW. Their run-shapes are similar… as here we see five, that’s (5) diff’ guys with at least one tote of ≥ 25% of a football field! wowowow. That’s game-breaking and beyond. ’cause if these ‘canes break free they are gonna torch VeeTee. Singapore ‘cane Sandman of “Eee.Cee.Dub” fame.
  The ‘cane Oline pins and accordions peeps down the L.O.S. (line-of-scrummage) well enuff. Really good on outside-eye-to-outside-eye wins. The throw quick/short, or medium things to guys on the move if not sprint. Again, maybe a misQ and you are ding on burnt… toast. They will curiously enuff flood pass-points and yet Gen. Montogomery Ward seems very canny here. Cagey even (pun intended, again). They are also kinda ruff-n-tumble away from the ball. Coach Mines real live ‘bad-boyz’. Keep thy don’t get stole head on a swivel here.
  Not much play-action, the s.gun Hb1 guy runs or stands around and releases late. Ward has a better quicker mo’ Joe Gilliam buggy-whip arm than Eye expected to see. NO wasted throwing motion whatsoever. Very narrow ‘balls away fast. He moves well and mad-libs to buy a 2nd/3rd looksee and fakes very well on the move. Savvy kid. Real nice mettle under fire or pressure. Seems unfazed to me. And Eye say again… Miami Wr’s F peeps up downfield. Pugnacious. A belligerent bunch. They genie a lotta Y.A.C. Not a soft-touch set, kinda physical, actually. Their oLine schemes a lotta straight-ahead things; nearly Manly at times… they are more parts adequate than hatchet here. Lotta upstairs wrestling to turn-n-shield.
  This is a downright zipppppy O. X, Y, Z yo’ …Fly. What with an astonishing and never seen b4, tweleveteen, that’s (12) guys averaging 13 or mo’ per snag! UNREAL.
• 48% run:pass 52% mix. (Throws earlier to run a pinch mo’ late). Elijah Arroyo, Te1, is your secret sauce offender here.
  The offensive line, anchored by Freshman All-American Francis Mauigoa (right-Ot1) and NFL prospect Jalen Rivers (left-Ot1), should be top-notch. Clearly the ‘cane edges are the strength(s) here. Very deep oLine too; might be the deepest we catch all year long. The receivers, led by slot standout Xavier Restrepo, are deeper and stronger, though UM’s tight end corps sorely underachieved last season.

Offensive letter grade: A+++. Rain=wet…

Da U Special Teams: (return)

Miami is 61st in Net Punting and do is Dy’ Joy’.

P1, Dylan Joyce; may indeed look like a cross between hockey-hair and a greaser from the 80’s epic classic: The Outsiders. Granted. Fair play. As it takes a lot to put a: p0rnstache, a mullet and a barricade combover all together all in one, top.

The All-A.c.c., Honorable Mention and 2o23 True Freshman All-America team pretty much take a backseat to all of that. Not taking a backseat to any of that; however, would be… being yet another Men Down Under top-kick from an Australian Rules Football pedigree before signing with Prokick Australia. As they and Paul Hogan tend to do sharp work as skinners go.

As punting goes… nine boots of 50 yards or longer and 16 of 42 or mo’ after 1.33 seasons as your super-Soph’ P1 is none to shabby. Said to be a hangtime and directional kicker; tho’ he does have at least a 6o-yard let in him if you need it. Kyabram, Australia native. 6′3″, 215 lbs. so aim block-point high(er) here. Good P1, solid, reliable… is he mo’ than than come ’26? Time=tell…

• 63rd in Punt Returns | 35th in KO returns.
• 85th in punt coverage | and 91st in suicide-squad.
• MU has blocked 1 kick and allowed o  kicks to be blocked.
• MU has blocked o punts and allowed o punts to be blocked.
• MU Offensive field-position really favors da U | VT Offensive field-position is much closer to neutral.

If the ‘throat-slashing’ Surname is familiar, recall this is the other one… this one is: Andres Borregales 5′11″, 175 lb. rookie or nugget or debut younger-bro’ one. LOL… as Eye barely caught this as they really do look very well alike. This one has the long-ass dangle earring look on both sides… not sure what that is 2021 urban-dictionary code for? Tho’ I do know that the kicking-D.N.A. appears to be pretty heady, here. I also know that being… rated a three-star prospect by 247Sports and Rivas. That being ranked the No. 2 kicker in the country by 247Sports and a top-300 player in Florida by 247 Composite. And that being listed as the No. 7 kicker nationally by Kohl’s Kicking… does not suck. As his 73% overall is not the worst t-Soph. year bootstrap start I have ever scouted. This one does have a very legit mid to high-50s range, so you need not short-punt here if you long-FGA prefer. He is still 5×5 or 100% at 56 of 56 P.A.T.’s with no blocks so far and no fakes either. Although it is curious that Miami has shorted his F.G.A.’s down to 48-yards max’ ever since. Though if this Borregales bro’ finds a bit more consistency, he will weaponize the leg game of Da U all by himself. The only difference I can ’22 see is that he seems a little streaky thus far this season. Virtually an 8.5 in 1o maker for his career. He is diet great… can he be mo’?

Special Teams letter grade: Nearly a full-A. As only thing wanting for is some coverage itself.

Unit Rankings:

1. Miami O.
2. Miami D. (nearly tied).
3. …gap…
4. VT D.
5. VT O.

☔️

X-factor(s):

• motive: Miami has no less being in their own backyard. They are playing for National Rankings and we are not. EDGE=them.
• weather: Check for updates to be sure… although, any precip’ would hurt the superior team mo’. (Slower games have fewer plays to show out with). And it hurts the better passing team by far all the mo’ to boot. EDGE=us.
• health/off-field: both teams be illin’ a bit here. Miami is really dingy -even denty- in the defensive backfield and has a few Linemen gimping about. VeeTee got hurt (again) for the 3rd-straight week vs. Rutgers. EDGE=the better Training Room staff; or, ???

  

• penalties: VeeTee has actually improved thus far this year here. Da U is back to being the fast-n-loose with the rulebook U. EDGE=us.
• intangibles: TOP and Turnover Margin BOTH favor Da U by virtually 75-spots apiece. Yikes. EDGE=them (bigtime too).
• fatigue: N/A. (Both courts have 4 consecutive workweeks here).

Lord Haw-Haw …or… Tokyo Rose?
…inpowerHERment 1o1.

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds…

 

Illation, conclusion(s) and OPT digits:

Number of  ‘canes who could Hurri @Tech=16+

the takeaway:

…NOT to be too taken with whatever happens 911-miles nearly due South as the Hokiebird gone crow files on Friday nite.

That is… not to be too taken with them IF, we can write or right the leaky U.s.s. Duck Pond ship out don’t the ex-post-facto P.A.C. 1o left-coast.

…we ain’t the favorite here (Miami-18) and do NOT defecate all over TSL if this So.Beach trip trips you out and things truly go south of south come midnite Friday nite.

As getting to .5oo and a lotta frayed wire and ‘fraid nerves will find some 3 up vs. 3 down insulation.

Though there Eye go again(s)… always putting the cart out in front of the Hokiebird horse.

’cause try as you might… you still kan’t coach… Hite.

Generics:

The ‘Canes have an intriguing pairing on offense with Ward and Rb1, Oregon State transfer Damien Martinez anchoring the backfield. Although the defense was fortified in the trenches through the portal, the secondary remains a concern. Generically speaking…

permutations:

1. Δ1=7o% that this one is due to turn, f’ugly.
2. Δ2=25% chance they play a medium game; or, wanna save a few bullets as they have one mo’ game (CAL) then BYE.
3. Δ3=5% chance they overlook us, play their worst game… or, we play our pinnacle.

Lo.FM (Long-field Management©)

• VeeTee is a moderate 69th best in 1st-down O inflicted | whereas Miami is only a solid 42nd best in 1st-down D allowed.
• Miami is a most sparky 3rd best in 1st-down O inflicted | whereas VeeTee is neutral 62nd best in 1st-down D allowed.
• VeeTee is a Swiss 62nd best in 3rd-down O inflicted | whereas Miami is a very sparky-looking 8th best in 3rd-down D allowed!
• Miami is an Alpha or 1st-best in 3rd-down O inflicted | whereas VeeTee is a nearly useful-looking 46th best in 3rd-down D allowed!

Lo.FM Analysis:
Here we see that although the Hokies graded a bit better than it felt like upon breaking tape -as average to B— is not the worst look- we also saw where the Ibis itself landed. As Miami is a stellar-looking offense and their defenses only tightens up all the mo’ as the chain-gang shuffles along. EDGE=them, (basically big-time too).

TTT (Time To Throw©)

• The F’n Gobbler O is a straight sieve in T.F.L. (tackles for a loss) allowed at 118th best | whilst the ‘cane D is a hard-charging 8th best in T.F.L. inflicted! (wow!)
• The ‘cane O is a brick wall in T.F.L. allowed at a stony 8th best | whilst the F’n Gobbler D is a decent enuff 46th-best in T.F.L inflicted.
• The F’n Gobbler O is really user-friendly in sacks allowed at a hurtful 1o8th best | whilst the ‘Cane D is a deadly #1 or 1st-best Qb-sacks inflicted! (ouch!!!)
• The ‘cane O is outright protective in sacks allowed at a nurturing 18th best | whilst the F’n Gobbler D is a Spartan 10th best in Qb-sacks inflicted.

TTT Analysis:
Here we see that both D’s are pretty dang together; although, Miami gathers mo’ to its defensive self than V.Tech does. The unsustainable ills are fond along the nearly totally Crooked V.Tech offensive front. As you gotta think momma-bear Drones won’t be sending any O&M Christmas cards to Bleaksburg, Va. this Holiday Season. EDGE=them. (Consubstantial and undivided).

Performated TEXT

Our handy dandy friend, the so-called: Forum Guide of Graham Houston fame is merely for a soon b.street, sooooooon…

Triangle Theory says that… VeeTee is ’bout one 1st-down worse on O and MiaFla is ’bout one 1st-down stricter on D. Although, VeeTee passing is dropping as Eye types… that, and da U is down to a mere 12o′ of rushing allowed per game of late! wowow. On the other side Tringle Theory says that… Miami is only getting hotter and hotter on O; with both rushing and passing gaining nearly +2o-yards per game between ’em. Dang… With VeeTee is defensing the rush worse though tightening up vs. the pass better for a net –1o-yards to the good allowed. None of these conspire to be massive metric shifts… although, they do say Miami could very well win by a bonus FG+Safety if this remains true to Recency Effect forum.

βeta Swagg:
Here we see that… the Hurricane O is literally Top-1o in everything less S.O.S. (strength of schedule, 65th) and in run-shapes; which are good though not great (63th). Eye don’t quite abide that, tho’ I would agry that their quick/darty aerials prolly skewed this mo’ than a pinch. And that their oLins is mo’ combative than it is completive. The Hokie D ranks decently in the 5o-vicinity on everything less (individual) play efficiency. When they make a misQ it is P.D.Q. for the other side off to the races.

On the other side we see that… the Hokie O is mo’ parts 70’s. Less (again) (individual) play-efficiency and on pass-pro’ which is nearly 1ooth best. Although, not by much… the Hurricane D did trump the Hurricane O by just a pinch. #1 in Dive-Efficiency overall. WOW. And very nasty vs. the run and vs. the throw alike.

Analysis:
Miami is the βeta A-side here for sure. Make no mistake.
Although, VeeTee did pleasantly surprise a mite— Miami is not less than mighty indeed, in ♠‘s.

∑ overall:
Overall year-to-date in total… the margins say that MiaFla triumphs Tech by just a pinch under 33-ppg. (Which, honestly? Is better than Eye was thinking… again, maths >>> moufs, laps >>> lips).

Techbits:

• In A.c.c. openers, Virginia Tech is 15-5 (with four straight wins) and Miami is just 1o-1o (with three straight L’s).
• Miami has won three in a row over the Hokies. The Hurricanes haven’t had a longer run of wins against Virginia Tech since going 12-o to start the series from 1953 through 1994.
• Virginia Tech will try to avoid a third consecutive 2/3 start. In 31 seasons between 1991 and 2o21, the Hokies were under .5oo after five games only three times. Yikes.
• Miami could be 5-o at the end of September for the first time in program history. wow.

the sportlight…

…here in the sportlight we turn the spotlight on Cam Ward, Qb1 of da U!

6′2″, 223 lb., 5th-senior, from: West Columbia, Texas H.S. by way of: Incarnate Word and they by way of Washington State after that.

Good Qb1, who did the RIGHT thang and stayed in school and he is looking better and better and better for it to boot. 2o21 National Champion (@In.Word) if you need him. Seemed kinda unplused by it all too. Curious… also said to be a big Pitt-Bull guy. Per se… only Honorable Mention in Texas everything is bigger play. Some said better hoopster back in ’18. Named two-time all-district offensive MVP in basketball. Selected honorable mention all-state academically. So, that shows he has mo’ to him than dum’ jock tagging and he is something of an all-’round ATH. Albeit a lowercase one, here. Check it… 4.87  (bottom-40%); Shuttle: 4.44  (bottom-19%); Vertical: 28.5  (bottom-13%*). Those are good walking down the street… so, this is one of those Emmit Smith: ‘game speed’ kinda kids. Who plays/looks faster than his testables/measurables. Though… he is quick. Very quick… with an overall Speed Score of: 78.2 sec’s. Which is based mo’ so off of B.M.I. and body-weight itself F.Y. I.

Anywho… his QBR (the lesser one) has risen by a whopping +65% @Miami. His RTG (pro, the stricter one) has also gone bull-market at +48% @Mimia. Or, in other words, this cam is surely going full-blown CamShaft @Miami. As this is having a career year+++. Prolly making himself some handsome enuff buck$ fo’ it to boot. Though… Mister Ward has NO family 411 or listings anywhere Eye looked and that is jus’ sad. God Bless/Godspeed. Passing is up +7% this campaign. And rushing is up a staggering near +65o%/carry! WoW. Now mix in cutting INT’s down by nearly ~75% and you career year sees what Eye means.

Inspect, circumspect, retrospect, suspect,

• Inspect, next week @Palo Alto you will get your answers here. Both to the Rutgers Eye Culture vs. Composure conundrum. As this one will show us little if it yields much to inspection at all. (Beyond outgoing health itself).
• circumspect, Or, will this @So.Beach contest be a tactical forfeit in lieu of a longer-view strategic look? Meaning: …how many times do you need to see po’ JAX get blasted along the ‘cane sideline in another meaningless, game?
• retrospect, …looking 2 up vs. 2 down back? Is @Vandy who we really be? They can spin quarter-bounce this/that all they like… though until we DO play a complete 4Q game? Fiddy cents will now buy you about a quarter-cup-o’-coffee.
• suspect, sadly, this side of a season already undone effort vs. Klempson? This is the first one in several years that has us four kinda nervy— nerves that we are about to butt-fumble one and get drywalled.

Miami Projected S&P+: 19th.
Miami Projected S&P wins: 9.1 W’s.

PLANDEMIC:

The Metrics:

…as we’ve ghosted on here before… there are a lotta Pro’ eyes that will be in the stands down in FLA on Friday nite. Sometimes, (Rb1, r.Williams) those eyes in the sky have caused an O&M show-out, (to the good).

There will also be some wanderlust O&M eyes giving some indigenous Sunshine State kids a sideline pass and rolling out an O&M recruiting red carpet to boot.

Then we see this little nugget…

Recruiting Rankings on 247:

• 2o22 – 43rd,
• 2o23 – 44th,
• 2o24 – 47th,
• 2o25 so far – 50th.

-oOo-

Do you see a trend(S), ^^^there^^^ ‘men?

That, and this is the year Whit (in theory) should renew Pry-bar to make sure he and his Staff do not forfeit any recruiting, leverage.

Or, in other words… now would be the worst (blown-out), Sunshine State, time.

the call...

…the call here is for… Clubber Lang… or: “PAIN”.

Roach clips as earrings aside… your only calculus here is pain itself.

Not IF… when…

Not how long… how much…

♥  ♣  ♦ ∪

As in… how long will Miami risk keeping their 1’s in on us?
Or, how long do we risk keeping our 1’s n on them?

As in… how much does that leave for trying to fell a Cardinal-infested tree and some kinda dingy/dippy compatriot of a leaf of an ascot gone mascot?

The Fear:

…the phobia here is thus…

…what if Miami actually bothers to show up and show out and damn well, play?

Where will that leave us for fatigue-max’ on a not-since @aTm roadie max’ left-coast sojourn vs. suddenly resurgent Stanford?

As… in… as cheap as this may willpower read?

How long do you tactically risk the 1's with 58% of '24 strategically undone?

’cause if you unrealistically and uppity azz refuse to think long-view, you might just have to scoreboard ask yourself… when do you call: “Century-21”?

▄ ▄ ▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄ ▄ ▄

Eye mean… we are gonna need to land our A-game punch -which will take some measure of Cardinal medicine outta us- AND, and, and, and, we gonna need some da U B-side help and/or love to have a R.A.T.T.. shot in this one here.

Again, as recalcitrant as Eye am UNWANT to type this… you could argue to go’on and see the end view here… when viewed thru a possible .333 prism, come the always hard-to-score on BYE week— if/when we cut 3 straight {sic: contests} here.

This is what we told them: “…do not grip over whatever happens in So.Fla. DO, however,
get a Cali’ road trip, grip❗️”

Just like Pirate knuckles read everywhere: “H O L  D    F A S T”.

👊🏻 🏴‍☠️️ 👊🏿

I say this much rightfully enuff… the opposing tailings to ’24 could and prolly would beat the opening tailings to ’23. Opponents (now) have plenty of tape(s) to break and film(s) to study. And we finally see that you are not feasting on any of the ’24 A.c.c. lay-up Bottom-3 —’cause you are 4th from last thy ownself. (see: above)

Additionally, word around the campfire is that there was a players-only meeting; which is typically code for: ‘the kiss of death’, kisses; or a totally lè 1st-base. The only O&M exception Eye can rally to was T’mobile doing this post-J.m.u. Again, these are never ever the construct of things are smooth as glass ¦ right as rain… so, let us hold a meeting. LOL. Also getting Lb in particular and the team overall are pretty dingy; with several downright denty guys in tow. Coach God Bless.

😱🏉😱

So, do you now see what we strategically and phobically mean?

Worriment, inquietude, neurosis, trepidation, chickenheartedness, timidity, pusillanimity, cold feets cold sweats, and well… call it what you synonym deign… tho’ do not call this a fearless look.

Things are either already jus’ beginning to start letting go… or, getting ready to begin to let go… take thy pick.

Sucks to say… tho’ you might wanna leave this pseudo So.Beach Bowling Alley a bit early; get some sleeps and catch some ZZZZZ’s. As the @Stanford game could very well be our de facto Bowl Eliminator in and of itself.

Therefore, ergo, to Whit… we hereby gar-ron-damn-tee a Hokie VicTory here!
In the tailgate, at the O.G. Clevelander and new-g Fontainebleau-LIV post-game totally lit too.

Just not in the (football) game itself.

Or, so we four fear…
