MESSAGE BOARD POST OF THE DAY
Trying Not To Get Ahead of Ourselves….. Posted by dcc21
2009. 2013. 2017. Great starts to the season. Exciting moments. But all just a flash in the pan. Fool’s gold, really.
Yet, this start does “feel” different.
We can point to a hundred reasons why this season is different from the other pretender seasons, but truth be told, we still don’t know for sure just what we have. I don’t think the stats are all that helpful in either direction — great offensive output can be explained by 3 below average opponents, and bad passing defense can be explained by having opponents in vulnerable passing situations most of the game because we were blowing them out. Not enough sample to really REALLY feel confident.
But this does feel different. Depth is better, still not great. Physicality seems to be more of a defining characteristic. Tackling is better. Team feels…tougher.
Last thing I want to see though is arrogance or cockiness getting in the air. Can’t inflate these guys too much. Think and hope that Mario and coaches are keeping them humble, hungry and grounded. I’m glad we have some challenges on our schedule. We’ll find out soon enough what kind of team we’ve got this season. I’m just thankful to be heading into October with some nervous energy and excitement for this team. First time in 6 years.
MIAMI HURRICANES QUOTE OF THE DAY
“He was lights out last year, and he’s lights out now. So how much has he improved? I think he’s better formation recognition and stuff like that, he’s been good. … I don’t know what else he can improve on.”
Hollywood (Fla.) Chaminade-Madonna head coach Dameon Jones, on Miami commit Zaquan Patterson
