MIAMI UPDATE

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

I mean, Miami's like Oprah. Is she fat? Is she thin? Is she fat? Is she thin? Pick a body and go with it already!!

I'm actually amazed Miami is doing as well as they are.

With the potential of NCAA sanctions and post-season bans from the last coach over their heads, must have been tough for Coach L to recruit ACC caliber players. With that gone, another year of cracking the national rankings and beating Duke, I'd expect their recruiting to start taking off.

That happened two years ago when Miami got to the Sweet 16. Recruits are coming in from that. The recruiting will just continue after this year.

If Jim Larranaga misses the tourney he will have made it only one of the past four years, no better than his two predecessors Hamilton and Heath.

Then as little Jollay says when a tiger stalks his prey to the antelope on TV..."Better watch out!"

According to that listing, vcu is the only A10 team that would make it as an at large to the NCAA tournament.

Dayton

You're right--just missed seeing them. How much will last night's loss to UMass hurt them (given that the listing is after last Sunday's games)?

I have a better chance of not having a date with Jessica Alba tonight than Miami has of not getting in the tournament.

Worst. Post. Ever.

Based on what this website says at least, you have around a 50/50 chance of being with Jessica Alba tonight.

I think all you Larrangians better start to understand that 20-point losses to Eastern Kentucky and Georgia Tech at home are pretty bad bubble losses.

FSU beats your God this weekend, I think panic sets in at Cuban Gables.

This highly suspect and probably communist website does not include Miami's stunning and horrific loss to Georgia Tech.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Which was stunning.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Which was stunning.

And horrific.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

And horrific.

And horrific. Thank you Jollay.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

And horrific. Thank you Jollay.

Don't mention it.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Wow. I am here to give the eulogy for the Miami Hurricanes program.

After leading by as many as 16 early, Jim and the boys choked tremendously and fell to Florida State by one point.

Looks like Jim and the boys are currently on the outs for the NCAA tournament right now. Making the tourney once in the last four years is worse than one of his predecessors, and on par with another.

Pretty shitty job, if you ask me.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Oh, sorry.

Look at your God now.

More ammo for Jolly's PR campaign:

Is there a more Jekyll and Hyde team than Miami? Hurricanes have now lost back-to-back games vs. Georgia Tech and Florida State. 4-4 in ACC.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

How about Larranaga's utter failure to take responsibility for blowing a 16-point lead?

The league is very talented," Larranaga said. "Losing a game to a good team is nothing to be ashamed of. When we play a team like Florida State, it's a battle right to the bitter end. That's the way it is every night in the ACC."

Haha. Actually Florida State isn't really that talented.

Wow...looking at the standings, Miami losing to Fl St would have been like St. Bonnies losing to us if they had.

I would say Miami is really in trouble if they can lose to the Mason of the ACC.
