ESPN Insider Blunder
http://insider.espn.go.com/college-f...llege-football
Article has to do with toughest schedules for 2013. From the article:
Quote:
Honorable mention: Miami (FL) Hurricanes
The schedule is another reason it was surprising to see the Hurricanes open at 25-1 to win the BCS title in 2013-14. Granted, games against Notre Dame and Kansas State rotated off, but the Canes go to Florida in Week 2 and they'll later play at Florida State and South Florida.
They'll get Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech at home -- the ACC has yet to set specific dates, by the way, though it has at least laid out the home-and-away design -- but Miami will additionally travel to North Carolina and newcomer Pitt. Considering their penchant for up-and-down play in 2012, it would be a feat for the Canes to even rep the Coastal in the league's title game. That is, if it's eligible after the NCAA wraps up its investigation.

What I put in bold is funny, because it will probably feel like a neutral site game with the thousands and thousands of fans we will put in their stadium, make that the Dolphins stadium haha.

We're planning on going. A big group of us, actually. I'm thinking it may be cheaper to buy season tix than single game tix. Lol haven't really looked too much into it yet. Soon though.

Yeah, I was at the last game in Miami when we played scum at the Orange Bowl. Leak squared off vs Brock Berlin. I'd say the crowd was at least 50/50, maybe 60/40 UF. It was a great game, we lost but Leak played very good. Berlin was lucky as I've ever seen, was threading the needle and hit some impossible plays. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the Swamp South.

We need to curb stomp them. Show no mercy, and set some kind of record for our series.

I hope Gator fans rip into Howard. Probably one of the worst decisions the guy ever made was to play at Miami.

I'm glad Howard chose Miami. We get VHIII which I think is head and shoulders above Howard. Plus we have a really good chance at Ramsey as well. If Howard is on this team we might miss on both those players this year.

Oh and I was thinking of making the trip down south this year for the game. What should I expect to pay for a ticket? Should I just go the stubhub route or try and buy tickets down there? Thanks for any info!

cane/gator game will be a hot ticket. usually is. but it ain't the old orange bowl hot anymore. not sure how scalpers work - i think they line university drive now vs every street corner in the vicinity of the old orange bowl.
probably doing stubhub might be the best bet. but you may be paying more for them.

Meh. I was looking for a "blunder", not a little mistake. People so love to jump on ESPN for any little misstep.

Kiffin just canned Ramsey's rimary recruiter, DB coach Sanders. Odds for Ramsey just got better.

Canes return 20 or so starters. They'll have a good team next year. With the way we "played down" to our opponents this year - including Louisiana-Lafayette, Missouri, Bowling Green, etc - this game is no gimme. I've never been to a game at Miami. This should be a good time w a big Gator crowd.
