CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Miami punt snapper Chris Ivory will not play in Saturday's Emerald Bowl because he violated an unspecified team rule.
He is the fifth Hurricanes player to be suspended for the final game of the season.
Ivory did not accompany the Hurricanes to San Francisco, where Miami (7-5) will face California (8-4) on Saturday.
He also was suspended for the season-opener against Charleston Southern for another rules violation, but won the Albert Bentley Award as the team's most valuable walk-on player.
Jake Byrne, who handles snaps on field goals, will take over Ivory's punt-team duties. Byrne also will be the backup quarterback behind Jacory Harris, who will start after Robert Marve was suspended for missing classes.
Tight ends Richard Gordon and Tervaris Johnson, along with linebacker Jordan Futch, also were suspended last week for the bowl game because of team rules violations.
The experts would disagree with you bigtime. In fact Scouts, Inc in their breakdown of the game only gave the edge to Miami with the D-Line. Every other area is favored by Cal. My own personal guess is Miami will either win close or lose by 10 or more.Sava700 wrote:Miami could prob lose their whole starting line up and still beat CAL.
you crazy..even the play callers have said Miami is controlling this game even being down 3 points. Everyone is all over the place..the field is a mess. This game should have been played in mid- country not in California anyway. This is a problem for bowl games IMO..they should be in a neutral/central site.Roody wrote:Cal should be beating Miami handily, but Longshore once again is all over the place.
If Miami keeps playing like they have been...they will win as projected.
well I'm not in it for a contest and its easy to see I'm picking all ACC teams to win which is pretty straight forward. If they don't then its not a big deal. I'm only concerned with a few games anyway and thats the New Years games, national championship,fiesta bowl and the Georgia Tech game cause I just like watching LSU get beat.Roody wrote:Updated predictions:

Only 3 games left we disagree in man (Rose, Orange & Title Game). You need a clean sweep.
I'm all about supporting your conference, but you bring emotion into it way to much which is why you routinely lose to me in these things. Still if that's how you want to do it it's fine by me, but don't deny you wouldn't be rubbing it in if you were to win.Sava700 wrote:well I'm not in it for a contest and its easy to see I'm picking all ACC teams to win which is pretty straight forward.

I expect you to rub it in if USC wins Thursday..and I'll be sure to do the same if Penn wins. Same goes for VATech, doesn't bother me one bit..its all in good fun. Can't wait to see USC get CRUSHED and Texas stomp OSU too!Roody wrote:I'm all about supporting your conference, but you bring emotion into it way to much which is why you routinely lose to me in these things.

That's why I stated last week I was going to limit my sports discussions with you. Common sense doesn't factor into the equation much with you. Again you allow emotion to dictate your decision making way to much. Percentages do not support your theory of a blowout of USC. Yes anything can happen in theory, but USC won't get blown out. That much is certain. Of course no one here knows what your idea of crushing is, but I'm sure you will tell us after the fact.
Oh and btw I have no desire to rub in a Va. Tech loss if it were to happen. Again, I have stated that Va.Tech isn't anything special this year and IMO undeserving of a BCS bowl. With that in mind if they lose I won't consider it all that surprising.
Anyway, that's all I have to say for now.

Undeserving of a BCS Bowl?? are you kidding? They won the games that mattered, when it mattered most. They won their conference which is the same with Cincy to go to the Orange Bowl fair and square. If anyone is undeserving of a BCS Bowl game its OSU... up for large pick my butt. They weren't picked for the team they are and their record they were picked clearly on how many fans they could bring which makes it about money and not the team. Sure its beating the dead horse you love so much but its flat out true. VATech is in a league of its own and will prove that next year for sure against Alabama...I'll be there to watch them roll that tide!Roody wrote: Oh and btw I have no desire to rub in a Va.

OSU is more deserving than tech to go to a bcs bowl, i can tell you that.
tech in a league of it's own? maybe in a penal league.

Record wise Ohio State was certainly more impressive then Va. Tech (Although OSU did lose their 2 biggest games this year against PSU and USC.). All that said Va. Tech achieved what they had to achieve in order to get into a BCS game. Ohio State got it by virtue of being a big money draw.
However I do think the BCS should investigate the situation further because a 4 loss team playing in a BCS game is just sad. Kudos to Va. Tech for winning their conference, but like Ohio State they just weren't worthy of playing in a BCS bowl. For the Hokies sake I hope they beat Cincy because it would be downright pathetic for any conference to field a team that won their conference and ended up with 5 losses.

I agree that OSU did play a nice season but the season VATech played was really a test of teams to be honest.. I mean the ACC had more teams with winning seasons, more teams in bowl games than any other conference which shows how strong the conference is... but as we found out Clemson whom is in a bowl game was rather week early in the season when it lost to a way too hyped opening game against Alabama..which I hope isn't going to happen when they play VATech next year. But i'll say this.. the hokies better win this damn bowl game...i've spent alot of money this year in supporting a winning team to see them lose again so I'm glad they are spending more time this year practicing than they did last year.

if they were good they would not need your money as they would have plenty.

Although I figured Rutgers would win I was rather surprised how well NC St played.. they were not that bad this year and really made the game interesting from what little I was able to catch.
Updated my picks too.. I'm thinking Oklahoma St will end up beating Oregon, after looking at who Oregon has played and stats against pretty much every team I think they are rather weak and Oklahoma St having a better offense will win.

So you discovered this after you did some research is that it? As opposed to not doing it before?

I think I some how over looked this game the first time is all which is fine...Roody wrote:So you discovered this after you did some research is that it? As opposed to not doing it before?
This Missouri game is getting interesting..here we are in OT and to be honest I'm pulling for NorthWestern although I've picked Missouri...they look to be playing better plus I'm tired of seeing Chase Daniels mom cringe so much on national tv... I mean come on ESPN..your getting as bad as Fox now.
