Kat..............not to change your friends mind because they are entitled to their opinions about the subject. However, the Florida St/Miami game was a great game and should stand indipendant of this. Both teams in that game performed very well at times while minimizing albeit not eliminating their mistakes.
When your friend brings FSU's game against Jacksonville St into their evaluation of Miami's chances in tonights game with Georgia Tech what they are obviously overlooking is...........
A: Florida St's let down situation. They had just lost a game which by all accounts were suposed to have won. A game where they left everything they had on the field going back and forth and back and forth only to just have the final play decide their fate.
B: Being in a game against a severly overmatched opponent in which even a moderate effort should lead to a victory, although that effort certainly needed more than just a moderate effort as it turns out.
C: playing a very important game in the national spectrum of things against a BYU team that has already knocked off Oklahoma.
Your friend is not factoring all the information about a situation. This is not a bad thing. If you're willing to exploit that then you will not only be able to teach your friend a valuable lesson, but you'll be able to profit off your friend ignorance, all in the name a friendship ofcourse.
