OXFORD — It took Miami University’s football team a month to get its first taste of victory. The RedHawks don’t plan to wait that long for a second bite.
“Things are going to start rolling from here,” quarterback Zac Dysert said Saturday after passing for four touchdowns and running for another in the RedHawks’ 35-28 come-from-behind victory over Army.
The RedHawks snapped a four-game losing streak and presented Don Treadwell with his first victory as Miami’s head coach by storming back from a 28-14 deficit with three touchdowns in the final 17 minutes at Yager Stadium.
“It’s been a long time overdue, singing the fight song,” Treadwell said of the post-game ritual following Miami victories. “I’m so excited and proud of our young men because we were really tested.”
“We’re very ecstatic,” Miami guard Brandon Brooks said. “We’ve been talking about turning it around all week. We said it’s enough talking. We wanted to get out there and show it with our actions.”
Miami U -- HOW DEE DO?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteArmy manages to lose again. It's tough being a fan.
ReplyDeleteHow long until someone who doesn't get the joke complains about this post?
ReplyDeleteThey've already e-mailed their complaints in. We'll see them in the collection posted Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteI don't follow college football at all - there's a joke involved here? Can someone please clue me in to it? My life won't be over if I don't get it, but at this point my curiosity is piqued.
ReplyDeleteOr is the joke about "non-important, non-misery" material getting posted?
Poopiehead, why don't you come over my dorm room and find out? CM needs to have an editors meeting anyway -- Cassandra thinks she might transfer to OSU and she does all the crazy images.
ReplyDeleteAS IF THE BUCKEYES ARE BETTER THAN THE REDHAWKS, CASS!!
I'll admit I don't get it and don't understand why this story is on this blog. It isn't be the first time I don't get it and won't be the last, I'm sure. I don't feel any inclination to e-mail vitriol to the editor, however.
ReplyDeleteOne of our long term and persistant trolls exposes himself every few months by his obsession with Miami University of Ohio as the place the four people who write this blog supposedly work.
ReplyDeleteSo of course we're interested in their David and Goliath football victory.
@Natalie -- supposedly work? I'm pretty sure the accusation is that this blog is run by freshmen living on the same floor of a Miami of Ohio.
ReplyDeleteoooooh, right. Miami, OHIO. Yeah, unless the word 'Ohio' is put in the original post my default thought is to think of Miami FL, 'cuz I sure as fuck ain't gonna get it from the mention of 'Oxford' (Oxford? Where-da-fox-hat?). okay, now i get it. umm, fun-neeeee.
ReplyDeleteActually, I believe the Miami Four have been revealed to be professors. But I'm still not sure which one writes my stuff. Somebody goes into a dissociative state and I (or any of the rest of the denizens of the page) appear, I guess. Or maybe I go into a dissociative state and they appear? Something like that.
ReplyDelete@Monkey: I do have some relatives who are major Buckeyes fans, so if I'm supposed to be rooting for the Redhawks (whom I didn't even know existed until this article was posted) I'd better keep in on the downlow at family gatherings.
Love and honor to Miami,
ReplyDeleteOur college old and grand
Proudly we shall ever hail thee
Over all the land!
Alma mater now we praise thee,
Sing joyfully this lay
Love and honor to Miami
Forever and a day.
Gooooooo 'hawks!
