Great job this year and congrats on becoming Bowl eligible.  Good luck against UConn and WVU in your quest on the Big East Championship.

Hey, if the Big east is looked at negatively because of the thrashing we gave LVille... it isn't our fault... its LVille's.  Our victory shows we are stronger than people expected, and that is a positive for the conference.  It just happened to be an in-conference game against a top 10 team.  If we don't beat Miami, it doesn't mean we aren't strong, nor does it mean the Big East isn't good.  If we had Southern Cal on the schedule this weekend, people wouldn't be saying if we didn't win then it's all for naught... Miami has been a top tier team, along with a SMALL handful of others for a while now.  Losing to them isn't shameful.  Beating them is extremely difficult, regardless of the venue... but if it is done... the benefits to the conference are huge.  But not winning a game you are HUGE underdogs in doesn't adversly affect the conference.  

I don't disagree with you and that was not really my point.

The point is this, as a league we are getting bashed on a weekly basis.  To show that you are for real you need at least a Louisville like performance like we had in the Orange Bowl last year.  A win would be icing on the cake.

That is nice and all but you have a big game this weekend.   Yes you crushed us and we have NO EXCUSES but if you don't play even or even beat the Canes it will be all for naught.

Not only are you playing for yourselves but you are playing for the Big East.

You guys handed us our asses last night.  Good luck the rest of the way and BTW the Tampa Tribune was right, your win was not a fluke.
