This is why we love (HATE) Miami football

Never mind that you went 5-7 last year. Never mind that you haven't won a game of consequence since...2002. Never mind you're facing one of the juggernauts of our time, the Florida Gators and Tim Tebow. Run your mouth anyway.

It really worked well for Florida State leading up to their 45-12 loss to the Gators last season.

And yet, here's the direct quotes from the Miami Herald...

You see that 'U' on your helmet and you feel stronger.

So you rise up and talk back. Emboldened by Miami's six-game series winning streak, you hark back to the days when the capital of football in this state was Coral Gables.

''We want to show them the University of Miami still rules the state of Florida,'' said center Xavier Shannon, the coach's son. ``We wanted the game at 8 o'clock. Let all the other games get out the way, and everybody else can see us play. I believe it's zero and six lately for Florida. We want to keep it that way. We plan on winning this game.''

Shannon calls Javarris James and Graig Cooper the best running back tandem in the country and said, ``That's what they have to worry about. We feel [our offensive line] can dominate anyone in the country, and that's what we plan on doing.''

Safety Anthony Reddick called the three-touchdown point spread ''insulting'' and said of Florida's offensive speed, ``Are they going to be able to match up with our defense?''

No wonder it's so easy to root against these clowns. No wonder they rag Ohio State every chance they get. Why? Because the Hurricanes haven't won SHIT since we took their two-touchdown spread and shoved it up their ass in Tempe, AZ five years ago.

Keep bitching about "phantom pass interference calls" while you're losing more games then you're winning. We'll keep winning our conference and just about everyone else we face. You keep chasing some bullshit division title in the ACC.

There are few instances when I'd root for Florida. And frankly, Miami beating Florida would be entertaining. However, seeing loudmouth ne'er-do-wells get a healthy serving of "shut the fuck up" would be just as good, I think.
