where does this stuff come from? I've never read that anyone other than 
Kevin Williams was Miami's fastest player. Certainly nobody did anything to 
dispute that on his punt return.  Teague made a great hustle play but this 
hindsight taunting is getting out of hand. Anyone who was watching could see 
that Teague gained nothing on Thomas until the last 15 yards when it was obvious
that Thomas was running out of gas. Does that make Teague faster? No!! Just 
makes him in better shape!

Mcguire carried the ball 6 times I believe... Sorry... but it's tough to 
get 20 yards on that let alone 100! 


Hey gang... the better team won. Bama deserves their championship because they
earned it on the field. All this shit about Miami never being any good away 
from home and all that is just plain B.S. Miami won one MNC in the Sugar 
Bowl against ... you guessed it .. Alabama... nuff said. The team that beat 
Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl for the MNC in '88? could take anybody ... anywhere.
That Okie team was one of the best they've ever had. The team that beat Nebraska
last year had a healthy Steven McGuire... this team didn't. That team had 
Rusty Medaris... this team didn't. That team had the hunger of not being 
defending champ... this team didn't. Bama wanted it more and it showed. Bama 
also figured out that Torretta is a timing pass QB just like Vinnie was. Step 
into the receivers' faces and you disrupt that... Bump 'em on the line and 
you give you D-line time to get to Gino before they can get deep on you. Gino 
underthrew the WR's on numerous occasions when they had a step or two on the 
DB's. He had pressure and he and the O-line did not handle it. The Miami 
defense played well enough to win given the turnovers. Personally I think Miami
simply failed to turn their intensity up to the frenzied level that Bama did. 
The weren't flat but they also weren't up for the game as they should have 
been. Who knows why? I think they'll be back, though... maybe even to the 
Sugar Bowl... to face Florida... no ... I don't see Bama beating them next 
year...
