The Sunshine State has two programs wallowing in self-pity, while another is out for blood on a bad preseason take.
The Week 3 Mailbag is an all-Florida affair, with reader questions about Miami , FSU and the Gators .
Let’s roll.
From JimmyCane: Is this your worst take ever?
Well, you miss 100% of the takes you don’t make, right?
Canes fans have flooded my mentions with ‘Old Takes Exposed’ type tweets, and rightfully so.
This was obviously a major whiff — from screwing up the belle of the ball joke in the tweet to the actual point that Cam Ward would be better off going to Florida State over Miami.
Now, my original logic wasn’t totally off-base.
I noted in the piece that Miami had a strong receiving corps (led by All-ACC wideout Xavier Restrepo and veteran Jacolby George) and a really good offensive line.
I simply put too much emphasis on Mike Norvell’s track record in the transfer portal, and the fact that Norvell and Alex Atkins had done wonders developing Jordan Travis from a gadget runner into a real quarterback — and Ward was already far more advanced than Travis as a passer.
