Poll from ROUT: http://aolsvc.news.aol.com/sportseve...30233609990008 Who was more responsible for the fight at the Peach Bowl? Miami - they were sore losers 82% LSU - they ran up the score 18% Total Votes: 23,326 :lol: :lol: :lol:
Just an observation, but I find it mildly amusing that, in an article about the Tigers' trouncing of the 'Canes, Newsday mentioned "Miami", Hurricanes" or a Miami player twice as many times as they did LSU. " For weeks, their mantra has been the same. The Miami Hurricanes truly believed that two botched plays knocked them from the national-title picture. On Friday night, the problems went far deeper -- and resulted in a humbling loss. Miami was simply dominated by LSU in the Peach Bowl, giving up more than 300 yards by halftime and doing nothing right offensively against the Tigers, who rolled to a 40-3 win. It was the worst bowl defeat in school history, was just the second bowl loss in the Hurricanes' last nine appearances, and marked the most one-sided beating absorbed by a Miami team since Nov. 28, 1998, when it lost 66-13 to Syracuse. The night started with such promise. Miami marched down the field on its first possession, taking a 3-0 lead on Jon Peattie's chip-shot field goal early in the first quarter. Things soured quickly. When Miami quarterback Kyle Wright came up short on a fourth-and-inches early in the second quarter, LSU got the ball _ and seized momentum. Playing before a decidedly pro-Tigers crowd, LSU opened a 20-3 lead by halftime, then scored the first 20 points of the second half while heads drooped on the Miami sideline. The loss assures that the Hurricanes won't finish ranked among the nation's top 10 teams and probably not as the highest-rated club in the Atlantic Coast Conference _ two of the team's biggest goals entering the Peach Bowl, which they won with ease over Florida a year ago. Miami's first two losses came against Florida State _ a game where the Hurricanes missed a chance for an easy field goal at the end, and lost 10-7 _ then against Georgia Tech, where a crucial fourth-and-short wasn't converted and helped seal a 14-10 defeat. But there was nothing close about this one. Wright completed only 10 of 21 passes for 100 yards, victimized by drops and never-ending pressure from LSU's swarming defensive front. The Hurricanes couldn't stop LSU running back Joseph Addai, who racked up 130 yards and a touchdown. And by night's end, Miami was outgained 468-153 _ a truly stunning stat, considering the Hurricanes came into the game ranked among the nation's stingiest defenses."
Yeah, it comes across like they're more shocked that Miami could've possibly lost than complimentary that LSU won. Effin' elitist media types.
