How could you say this about the school that gave NIU Demetrius Jones (if only for a matter of days)?

Miami has got to be the softest bunch of pansies I've ever seen. Two years in a row in a bowl game they play in "cold" weather (30's-40's) and they act like they're playing in the north pole. Most of the team, even the linemen, were wearing sleeves and hoodies. They're soft, very soft. They've played Wisconsin and Notre Dame in their last two bowl games as favorites and gotten rolled. Their northern counterparts didn't need sleeves or sideline heaters etc. I love seeing "the U" lose. The funniest part was watching their backup QB talk smack to Notre Dame while leading two meaningless 4th quarter TD drives. He did most of this with his helmet off so everyone could see his cute hoodie he had to wear because it was so cold.

Wise move indeed!

I was kind of wondering if it works both ways. Do you think northern teams playing in the heat of the south (after being accustomed to the cold weather) can affect the team's play? You get pretty hot playing football in the heat and if it's a sensation you haven't felt since say, September, does it bother you?
