My Expectations Have Never Been Lower For a Miami Hurricanes Football Season

Related Topics: Kirk Herbstreit

It’s so easy to get overexcited and drink the preseason kool-aid when you’re a fan of a big time college football program. I have been guilty of it MANY times with the Miami Hurricanes. This isn’t exclusive to fans either. Kirk Herbstreit picked the Canes to win the 2006 National Championship on the ESPN preseason show. I vividly remember Herbie saying he thought QB Kyle Wright and coach Larry Coker would figure it out and lead Miami back to the top. Oh, how wrong he was. Nothing against Kirk Herbstreit. He’s great.

Herbstreit wasn’t alone in 2006 by the way.
