Top 10 Reasons Why You Should Watch the Miami-FSU Classic on Labor Day

By: GUEST BLOGGER nafelson FROM TOMAHAWK NATION

10) You Love Defense: In the last four years Miami is averaging a pristine 15.3 points per game in their matchup against FSU. As for the Seminoles they are averaging an even less impressive 12 points.

9) You Hate Quarterbacks: Or more specifically Kyle Wright. The Miami signal caller was sacked nine times and hit another three dozen times in last year's game, a 10-7 victory for the Seminoles.

8) You Have Aspirations of Becoming a Divison 1-A Receiver: If so, Miami needs you now. I don't think they have enough receivers to run a four-wide in Monday's game. As a matter of fact the Hurricanes' punter Brian Monroe has lined up in the slot several imes since March.

7) It's a 3-Hour NFL Draft Preview: Last year four Seminoles went in the first round of the NFL draft, the year before FSU had two and Miami had one drafted in the first round. In 2004 Miami had six players drafted in the first round.

6) You're Still Buzzing After Montana-Iowa Tilt from Saturday.

5) Your NFL team needs a safety: Miami has two of the best in the game (Brandon Meriweather and Kenny Phillips) while FSU sports one of the nation's most highly sought after recruits in freshman safety Myron Rolle.

4) You Always Look Forward to ESPN's once-a-year "Full Circle" broadcast: The FSU-Miami game will be on ESPN in regular viewing and ESPN2 in a special "production, behind the scenes" viewing.

3) Eager to See the Next Generation: FSU freshmen running back Marcus Sims is the brother of former 'Nole and first-round pick Ernie Sims while Miami's Javarris James is the cousin of perennial NFL All-Pro Edgerrin James.

2) Big-Breasted Women in Cowboy Hats: You know you love the Cowgirl (a.k.a Jenn Sterger), just admit it.

And the number one reason why you should watch the FSU-Miami game on Labor Day:
1) Because there's a slim, but very real, possibility that a kicker might actually make a field goal when it counts.

I know I will be watching my Hurricanes woop up on the Noles. Our offensive line will keep Wright safe this time around, last year was an anomaly. Please don't forget who owns this series, we haven't lost to the Seminoles at home since '98. Also, my man Herbstreit picked us to win the National Championship this year!

Herbstreit also picked Chris Rix to win the Heisman in 2004.

He's been known to take a stab in the dark every now and then.

Yeah, Herbstreit is known to be a little off in his predictions, but I think he hit the nail on the head with his National Championship pick. I don't know about the Irish playing us in the final game, but I can definitely see the title coming back home to Miami, where it rightfully belongs!
