Mark Right was ok in my book, until I saw the turnover chain was still being used under him. Lost all credit there. Trashiest "tradition" in college football IMO (unless you count the turnover trashcan... that's definitely....trashy...)
Yeah, I'll go to bed now....

I mean, as much as I hate Miami, I think the turnover chain is pretty cool just because it fits Miami's desired culture so well. I like it for the same reason that I like the lunchpail here at Tech.
If we didn't already have the lunchpail tradition here, I think it could work somewhere like Michigan State or Iowa because they have a similar culture around their team/town. I hate Miami, but the chain so perfectly symbolizes Miami's history that I think it works for them.

Funny thing is that it fits Miami's Football culture, but not really the school itself. It doesn't fit any of the Miami alumni that I know, but it def fits all of the football fans, who aren't alums.

Any of them. The U, The U part 2, or Catholics v. Convicts. Having not watched any Miami at the time, when they were talking about the Miami turnover chain, I filtered my assumptions through those three and developed an image in my head. Miami picks one off and out it comes. Sure enough. Gaudy and tacky as fuck.
'self: do you think that's real?'

He actually didn't. Diaz came up with it and "mentioned" it to Richt just before kickoff of the first game. Richt said he snuck it by him on purpose but now the kids love it.
It's a lot easier to hate on Diaz. He's a douche canoe.

I hate that chain and it was made worse by the turnovers in the UNC game and ESPN's sideline reporter sporting her own ESPN chain. This is the antithesis to the LPD and I hope we stomp them so bad they decide to retire that gimmick of a side line prop.
Obligatory get off my lawn.

Hey how about Mook's shoe throw in the NC game in reverse. Can we steal it? Hairball of players rolling out of bounds in the right spot........Hokie grabs it! Sticks it under his jersey!

Mark Richt does not get a pass on the ChikfilA loss in 2006. Fuck him, fuck Matt Stafford, they beat GT that year and we lost to them, so fuck that too, fuck our offensive turnovers that game, fuck all of it.
And Richt wears blazers with tshirts.
May the Great Fuente exorcise these demons in U-ville Saturday night. Last year was not on exorcism. It was a home game. And the U wasn't bak yet.

You need to blame that O Line too. They got Glennon killed in that game. There was a great if not sad pic of Sean getting sacked by 3 UGA players and 3 of our linemen blocking air.

Mark Richt has Manny Diaz as his defensive coordinator.
Would have commented on the chain but so many did above. That chain is so Miami and does nothing but denigrate their already classy image. It just screams "ghetto" to me. Nothing to instill anything but materialism. So trashy.

I'll probably get downvoted to bolivian, but I think the turnover chain is 100% good for Miami and College football. It is them steering into the skid. It sort of makes sense people assume this awful perception of you so you sort of own the "black hat/villian" archetype, and this is that perception, we are loud and are going to punch you in the mouth then dance on your grave in a $50,000 chain. It sort of fits the Miami of old, and its good for College Football.

Ten days and 900 of those orange and green sapphire stones later, the 6.5-inch-wide "U" was attached to the 36-inch, 2.5-kilogram, 10-karat gold chain. The final product was wrapped up, secured in a box and shipped up US-1, accompanied by security, from the jewelry store in south Miami-Dade County to the Coral Gables campus.
Why not just have it delivered by some bikini-clad hookers?
I don't think more superficial nonsense is what college football needs.

I assume any chain that costs that much isn't delivered via UPS, if millionaires get their chains from the same place it's gonna come with protection. A lot of teams have superficial nonsense, Miami just owns it and takes it to a degree that only they can.

Actually UPS does ship expensive Jewelry and other high value items. You pay an arm and leg for it and moves through system somewhat differently, but they do it.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
Well I didn't expect to learn about UPS, but here I am. It is weird to me though that there isn't some secret society that handles these scenarios. However considering the jeweler is in Miami the armored car and detail while perhaps overkill still makes more sense then shipping it to the facility.

See and that's a huge part, a lot of people hate Miami and this only feeds into that hate which is good for the sport, it drives clicks and becomes must see conflict. I don't want a Miami that is some hollow shell of itself, and neither should anyone else. Don't people want the Miami that showed up in Camo to the fiesta bowl, or that ran Gerry Faust out of the Orange bowl? It's 100% good for the sport.

Agreed. Miami has always owned the negative press that they get, basically because they know that they did something to earn it. Not sure if you remember the "Catholics vs Convicts" NCG, in 1988 (you can still buy the t-shirts), but this kind of thing has always been part of da U. I hope they lose every game that any team from Miami plays, but I respect the fact that they are self aware an own their rep.

I am not old enough to have seen that game. Personally that was a low blow move on Noter Dame to be so holier than thou. It is the self awareness I respect.

E$PN did a really good 30 for 30 on the t-shirt and the game. Original name/comparison came from a ND student selling non licensed t-shirts from his dorm room.
On October 15, 1988, Notre Dame hosted the University of Miami in what was arguably one of the greatest games in college football history. It was tradition vs. swagger, the No. 4-ranked Fighting Irish versus the No. 1-ranked Hurricanes, one coaching star versus another. But the name still attached to the contest came from a t-shirt manufactured by a few Notre Dame students.
See that's where I thought it originated like above I'm sure it blew up cause of the media, wasn't it Nesler? in that 30 for 30 who said he had a shirt thrown at him and showed it on the broadcast.

Mark Richt's Hurricanes almost lost to UNC.
Everyone else go home. This can't be topped.
Mark Richt coaches for Miami. Come to think of it, I rest my case.
Look at Georgia football without him.
'Nuff said.
UGa football has definitely gotten "smart"er without him
I'm giving you a leg, but you don't deserve it
Now that's Smart.
I actually don't hate Mark Richt either. This has been a two week respite - I need to save up for the coach we're playing next week.
Next week starts two weeks of hatin on two of our most hated coaches. Hatin on gotta go 1-0 this week though.
Three weeks
FTFY
Mark Richt is a very good coach and a better man who does a tremendous amount of work in the community.
#amIDoingItRight
Yes. But does he have a puppy?
Mark Richt approves of Photobucket's decision to move to paid image linking for $400 annually.
I don't hate Mark I hate the team he coaches and their delusional fans
You say, fans... but... do they exist?
I've got another letter for him:
via GIPHY
Mark Richt and the Canes have dudes. The Hokies don't have no dudes.
Whatever happened to that idiot reporter? Oh there is his doing weather in Cheboygen, MI.
Mark Right was ok in my book, until I saw the turnover chain was still being used under him. Lost all credit there. Trashiest "tradition" in college football IMO (unless you count the turnover trashcan... that's definitely....trashy...)
Yeah, I'll go to bed now....
worse than the trash can Tennessee uses?
I wouldn't call that a tradition just yet. Used it more because it was really late and I was about damn near slap happy.
But yes, I hate the chain.
I mean, as much as I hate Miami, I think the turnover chain is pretty cool just because it fits Miami's desired culture so well. I like it for the same reason that I like the lunchpail here at Tech.

Yeah, I guess I don't know any alum from there, but you can't deny that the chain feels like it fell straight out of that 30 for 30 on them.
Any of them. The U, The U part 2, or Catholics v. Convicts. Having not watched any Miami at the time, when they were talking about the Miami turnover chain, I filtered my assumptions through those three and developed an image in my head.

'self: do you think that's real?'
*google*
'yeah, that doesn't surprise me. They let boats and hoes outta prison?'
There's nothing I can say about that 'tradition' that wouldn't get me downvoted and banned.
The turnover chain is a new tradition unveiled this year. So, even more reason to hate Richt, his administration created the turnover chain.
Also, when looking at the turnover chain, it definitely represents Miami well. All about flashy, bling etc.
Then you've got us. The lunch pail, and how well that represents VT's attitude.
The two couldn't be more opposite, nor more representative of the schools.
ESPN did a good piece on some of the silly sideline traditions - I think it aired when Gameday came to the 'Burg
You'll put your turnovers into the trashcan. The Program itself can be found in the burning dumpster out back. KthanxBye
Mark Richt enjoys the company of other men
Mark Richt says Da U is Bak!
Mark Richt is about to get his first LOSS of the season handed to him.
Mark Richt tells his closest friends that his last name is pronounced "Kevin".
Mark Richt is about to get rolled; therefore Richt-rolled.
He's never gonna give you up
Mark Richt wears a $6 plastic-banded watch with a $600 suit when making the U at a press conference.
Richt approved this:
He actually didn't. Diaz came up with it and "mentioned" it to Richt just before kickoff of the first game. Richt said he snuck it by him on purpose but now the kids love it.
It's a lot easier to hate on Diaz. He's a douche canoe.
Anyone notice how many people aren't in the stands?
I hate that chain and it was made worse by the turnovers in the UNC game and ESPN's sideline reporter sporting her own ESPN chain. This is the antithesis to the LPD and I hope we stomp them so bad they decide to retire that gimmick of a side line prop.
Obligatory get off my lawn.
I hope we beat them so badly that the LPD goes to the Miami sideline after the game, takes the chain away, and puts it inside the Lunchpail.
You sir are a genius.
Haven't logged in to respond in ages, but this^^ is fantastic. #makeithappen
Hey how about Mook's shoe throw in the NC game in reverse. Can we steal it? Hairball of players rolling out of bounds in the right spot........Hokie grabs it! Sticks it under his jersey!
Am I the only one who thought that the chain was a punishment for turning the ball over???
The first time I saw it, the guy appeared to be sulking on the bench. It looked so stupid I just assumed it was basically the cone of shame...
I wish mark richt would have gone anywhere but Miami.
I quite like the guy, but
Mark Richt still calls Miami "Quarterback U."
Mark Richt thinks the canes deserve their lofty ranking and eats up all the Miami hype espn is dishing out
Mark Richt thinks wearing a gold chain after a turnover is cool.
Mark Richt does not get a pass on the ChikfilA loss in 2006. Fuck him, fuck Matt Stafford, they beat GT that year and we lost to them, so fuck that too, fuck our offensive turnovers that game, fuck all of it.
And Richt wears blazers with tshirts.

What if....
It was??
YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAA
Mark Richt has a cat named Butters.
That commercial. Fak.
Mark Richt chose to go to Miami.
Twice.
Mark Richt can try, but he can't fix his alma mater's bad rep.
.....not my best, but I gotta save up for PJ and the Nard
Mark Richt doesn't believe robotic Beamer lasers are coming to pop his balloons
Is that real? If that's real I find it horrifying.
Mark Richt thinks the stands are going to be full of Hurricane fans on Saturday night.
Fuck Pat Narduzzi. Eat Shit Pitt
And F*ck Matt Ryan.
2006 Chik-fil-a bowl....screw you Mark Richt
That should be reserved for the Hatin' On Sean Glennon thread
You mean the Hatin on Marcus Vick thread... Glennon should have just been the backup.
eh, Glennon played, had 4 turnovers... I blame him.
You need to blame that O Line too. They got Glennon killed in that game. There was a great if not sad pic of Sean getting sacked by 3 UGA players and 3 of our linemen blocking air.
Mark Richt has three cats named Larry, Paul, and Pat.
Mark Richt got fired by UGA because the boosters thought he was soft, and it made their team too soft to win the big games.
Mark richt had a normal functioning system until he chose to return to Miami and contracted the dreaded premature ebakulation mentioned above
UVA thought they were going to get Mark Richt when they were searching for a coach. It was hilarious.
I couldn't think of anything, but UNCheat is 0-6 in conference play and is officially the Smeagol of the ACC.
smegma
FTFY
unwinfeated in the ACC.
(I stole that from someone)
Mark Richt has Manny Diaz as his defensive coordinator.
Would have commented on the chain but so many did above. That chain is so Miami and does nothing but denigrate their already classy image. It just screams "ghetto" to me. Nothing to instill anything but materialism. So trashy.
I mean really, does anything tell you more about the difference in culture between the two schools than their unofficial defensive mascots?
Lunch pail - Blue collar, hard work ethic, play like we got something to prove
Turnover chain - Boats 'n hoes
I'll probably get downvoted to bolivian, but I think the turnover chain is 100% good for Miami and College football. It is them steering into the skid. It sort of makes sense people assume this awful perception of you so you sort of own the "black hat/villian" archetype, and this is that perception, we are loud and are going to punch you in the mouth then dance on your grave in a $50,000 chain.

I agree. It adds to fuel to their rivalries. If we turn it over w e will hate them even more, same for FSU. That's good for the sport IMO.
See and that's a huge part, a lot of people hate Miami and this only feeds into that hate which is good for the sport, it drives clicks and becomes must see conflict. I don't want a Miami that is some hollow shell of itself, and neither should anyone else. Don't people want the Miami that showed up in Camo to the fiesta bowl, or that ran Gerry Faust out of the Orange bowl? It's 100% good for the sport.
By all means. Booze, drugs, cash, whores and yachts are always good.
Miami has the self awareness to own their past and so far it seems Richt has cleaned up the program with anything serious going on there.
As a professional yacht broker, all of these things are keys to business
Agreed. Miami has always owned the negative press that they get, basically because they know that they did something to earn it.

The media really was the culprit.
Well once they blew it up it probably spread like wildfire.

See that's where I thought it originated like above I'm sure it blew up cause of the media, wasn't it Nesler? in that 30 for 30 who said he had a shirt thrown at him and showed it on the broadcast.
One of the better 30 for 30s. I will stop what I'm doing to boo, taunt, and harass the television for any of the Miami related 30 for 30s.
The imagery and context of getting for taking something away from someone else (what you might call 'stealing' or 'robbing') only makes it worse.
I don't see it, but isn't that the objective of defense go take the ball from the other guy? However there are alot of teams that do this as well
via GIPHY
downvoted to bolivian? that's a long, long way down
Mark Richt burned Michael Westen.
"When a spy gets fired, he doesn't get a call from the lady in HR and a gold watch. They cut him off. They make sure he can never work again. They can't take away his skills or what's in his head, so they take away the resources that allow him to function. They burn him."

I forgot how much I hate Miami internet fans.
They're the closest to NY/NJ/MA NFL fans I've seen in the college game.
