MIAMI SHORT ON SAFETIES, LONG ON SCOUT TEAM GENIUSES
Miami’s effort to hijack the Sooner Schooner and turn it into a rolling bonfire will have to happen without starting safety Randy Phillips, who along with backup JoJo Nicolas will miss the OU game with injuries. This is one of the factual things one might need to know when prognosticating about the game. This is one of the factual things one might not need to know, but will appreciate hearing about in a world where good news is scarce:
• Coach Randy Shannon said quarterback Spencer Whipple — who transferred this week from Massachusetts and is the son of UM offensive coordinator Mark Whipple — has done a good job of running the scout team.
A well-leveraged life change, that. Hey, son. I’ve got this new gig in Miami. Care to abandon your sunless, freezing life among the Tawmmys of the world to run the scout team in Coral Gables, where your most serious injury might be a blown vas deferens due to overuse? Why, sure, dad. I think I’d like to improve my life about three thousand times in the span of a few pieces of paperwork and a single plane flight. Excellent work, Spencer Whipple. Your chance of being randomly killed in a spectacular and gory fashion just went through the roof, but opportunity costs are opportunity costs.

Um yea, the girls up north ARE, in fact uglier. This is fact.
What is also fact is that if you live in a Metro area, one public school is as good as another if they are similiar socio-economically no matter if you’re in Boston, Atlanta, or wherever.
Also fact is that there are fat people EVERYWHERE, haven’t you been to Hartsfield Airport? Don’t think all those people are coming/going to Atlanta, nope.
Additionally, people up north are INDEED angry and bitter for no good reason, with, as mentioned, the whole door holding issue being a great obvious example that I too have recognized.
The best part of all this is that If you start from the far north (Maine) and the most southern (Louisiana, MS) you start off with red neck french/brithish catholics who rely heavily on clawed crusaceans and paper goods for their livelihood, then you move toward waspy bluebloods (atl, charleston, contrasted with boston and NYC), and finally end up where the whole shit storm collides in an awesome explosion called Washington DC, which is oddly northern on one side of the potomac, and delightfully southern on the other side.

The ACC is – again – grossly overrated. Miami will get whipped.
