Game Day Blog: Miami vs Boston College

Get your motors running because here we go again!  Another college football season officially starts for Miami Hurricane fans today at 3:30 PM against the Boston College Golden Eagles in Chestnut Hill, MA in an ACC showdown to kickoff the 2012 season.

Head coach Al Golden begins his second season as he leads Miami onto the enemy turf today. Gone for good are the last members of the class of 2008 and in their place are a bunch of young, inexperienced but talented new players that will represent "The U".

Many of those players, freshmen and sophomores, will be taking the field for the first time as they try to uphold the legacy of the many great players and teams that have come before them.

Hurricanes fans, always optimistic, have predicted a win but really have no idea what to expect from their team today other than a well-conditioned group that will give a solid, 60-minute effort. 

The theme for today's game should simply be the old and famous motto of former Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis who consistently proclaimed: "Just win baby!"

Canespace Prediction: UM 27, BC 20.

Yeah, uh, that could get scary as I have it on good information that some fans watch the game, uh, well, U know, naked? LOL

[SJMPARMAN]

Game is on ABC in the DC area.

[CoCane]

Thanks miamicane

[The Dude]

BC Timeout?!?!?!?!

[Felipe]

Really bad early. Looks like the "wtf is Donofrio doing" talk isn't going to die down this year if a whole 5 play sample size is any indication.

[Felipe]

TD Boston College walks in

[The Dude]

TD BC

[mi@mic@ne]

d line is 70 percent ...hope we settle down

[86Cane]

D'NO

[Panamacitycane]

Wow I know it's the first drive but our d line looked weak

[orange 'n green in the vein]

Somebody tell D'No kickoff was five minutes ago. Over under on Golden's agent starting the, "we have options," bunk again?

[CaneFan47]

Defense did not look good that opening drive. Still early, not worried yet though.

[SinisterCane]

Go Canes

[dacanes]

ouch. D-line can't get off blocks. BC O-line supposed to be a good one.

[longtimecanefan]

absolutely pathetic start.....

if the secondary was any further off the line of scrimmage they'd be in the parking lot

no pass rush, gaping holes......

if these keeps up say hello to a 4-8 season at best....

geez, all year to prepare and this is the best we can do......

[SinisterCane]

more like 30%

[CGNC]

BC always has a good offensive line. LOL their fans look like vampires - pasty!

[Felipe]

if the secondary was any further off the line of scrimmage they'd be in the parking lot

^The secondary comment is spot on. D'onofrio's done after this year at this rate. We'll be 2-10 at best if he keeps playing 20 yards off. What the hell?

[The Dude]

This Syracuse game ugh. Seriously, who gives a sh*t about Northwestern and Syracuse?

[SinisterCane]

Cane we please BENCH ALL MNW PLAYERS THAT ARE STILL HERE

[The Dude]

OMG it wont end!!!

[mi@mic@ne]

are we muscle bound lol

[orange 'n green in the vein]

But look what they did at Temple!

[longtimecanefan]

you're not missing much, 3 and out on offense, one dropped pass.

[SinisterCane]

Five years at tha U and still cant catch

[Felipe]

Tompkins dropped a pass, OLB (I think Armbrister) gave a fullback a 30 yard swing pass, D'onofrio cost the team a couple of conversions with prevent 15 yards off the WR defense, same crap basically as we all feared.

[The Dude]

This 44 seconds is gonna last 15 more minutes.

[Willie Will in Nashville]

hey what happened to my comments?????

[86Cane]

Three and out. Let the suffering begin!

[mi@mic@ne]

where can we get a qb like that

[longtimecanefan]

somebody go out to the parking lot and tell the DB"s they can move up a few yards....

[Felipe]

What the D'onofrio? Cover 4 with no blitz and we're getting no pressure? My god we're screwed.

[86Cane]

Willie...we don't need 50 comments about how ESPN sucks. Does nothing for the blog.

Meanwhile the TE wide open over the middle? First time that's ever happened.

[The Dude]

Are we going to get a posrt game interview too?

[Felipe]

Nice play on the screen by Armbrister there. But why is the LB 13 yards deep? WTF?

[mi@mic@ne]

too bad we had to start with a mature qb

[SinisterCane]

Will Golden can his friend D'onofrio

[mi@mic@ne]

i dont understand why they are running

[4-Real]

4 what its worth floriduh not lookin so good against bowling green

[SinisterCane]

If coverage aint workin EFFIN blitz

[longtimecanefan]

In just a few words...This is sad......

[dacanes]

what is up with this rush 3 crap on 3rd and long.

[orange 'n green in the vein]

So D'No's best playcall is the dropped pass by BC. But look what he did at-- ah f[_}ck it.

[86Cane]

BC 14, UM 0

No clue, no hope so far on D.

[The Dude]

13-0 BC

[mi@mic@ne]

no pressure its gonna be a long day

[SinisterCane]

And to think I whip out tha single Malt Scotch for this

[raizecane]

LOL! For me it is orange canes cami top and Canes butt shorts

GO CANES!

You see, this is the perfect reason for my suggestion (smiling).

[4-Real]

TRUE MIAMI FANS DESERVE BETTER

[Felipe]

Yup. D'Onofrio era must end before it begins to give us all ulcers. Period.

[CaneFan47]

Is it me or is Morris staring down his receivers?

[Felipe]

DROP DROP DROP Hurns falls down DROP DROP DROP

Nice one Scott/Tompkins/Hurns. Golden and D'onofrio are fool's gold.

[longtimecanefan]

WOW.....game over 1/2 way through the 1st quarter.......

[Ohio_Cane]

Rashawn, stop dropping the damn ball...

[The Dude]

WTF?

[4-Real]

Nebraska & southern miss on both ESPN & ABC!!! No respect 4 the games whatsoever!

[SinisterCane]

Over before it started

[The Dude]

These coaches are wanting the axe.

[mi@mic@ne]

do we have any good receivers

[raizecane]

ok.....time to change shirts......and pour another drink.

I guess our WR's are not going to catch anything today. Morris is putting the ball where it needs to be.

[orange 'n green in the vein]

There's a chance Golden can keep Bethune from pulling the upset this year if he comes up with a good game plan. So, don't bet the house is what I'm saying.

4-Real, how many career picks is that for Morris? Time to take your shoes off to keep track from now on.

[Willie Will in Nashville]

morris threw his first int, i guess people will say that was his fault too

[USAFCane]

yikes! All I can say is a long way to go.

[86Cane]

Is it even possible to IMAGINE a worse start to the game and the season than this?

Actually the worse part is that SpolarCane is gonna waltz in here sometime in the fourth quarter and say: "I TOLD U SO!"

[raizecane]

OGV - that pick is NOT on Morris....

[CoCane]

I think I'll wait til the game is over before I comment. :-(

[SinisterCane]

whiskey tango foxtrot

[Felipe]

This is several orders worse than the Shannon era. 2 Divisions worse than the Coker era. It's that bad, for those unable to see it due to 'Cuse NW

[Ohio_Cane]

Gotta love the ship jumping less than 1 quarter into the season. All of U aren't allowed to say anything when they win. Just sayin

[4-Real]

I meant no respect 4 the canes! I can't even c the game

[orange 'n green in the vein]

Nor did I say, but it still counts against his total so 4-Real's going to need to undo some shoelaces to keep track from here on out.

[Canesteeler]

I will always be a Canes fan but damn it is getting tough watching this shat year after year.

[mi@mic@ne]

we need a pick six

[Felipe]

We're tired of this crap and will voice our displeasure. Be obsequious all you want Ohio Cane. U so cool to us zomg.

[OCALACANE]

OUCH!

Just Play...

[86Cane]

And to think I whip out tha single Malt Scotch for this

Posted by: SinisterCane | September 01, 2012 at 03:58 PM

That's the least U could do!

Crying won't help U and praying won't do U no good. Drinking on the other hand might just work?

[dacanes]

weather the storm Miami.weather the storm

[Zakkee]

Same issues for the last 7 years.

morris is playing well.

both coordinators are tentative = the kids are playing scared

vanilla this aint a scrimmage

[orange 'n green in the vein]

And I just realized the counting career picks gimmick is Sinister's not 4-Real's, I apologize 4-Real, you can keep your shoes on.

[SinisterCane]

Who jumping ship? whats so different today so far than the last 9 years

[4-Real]

U get what u pay 4 ogv! Keep the faith Ohio!!

[orange 'n green in the vein]

Always love that fake FB handoff, RB toss wide play. Duke is going to kill with that thing.

[Felipe]

Duke and Malcolm looking pretty sweet. Go baby Canes!

[The Dude]

Lewis can play.

[MIA Chi 'Cane '98]

Looks like Al made some changes and brought some new bodies in there.

[SinisterCane]

And I just realized the counting career picks gimmick is Sinister's not 4-Real's, I apologize 4-Real, you can keep your shoes on.

Posted by: orange 'n green in the vein | September 01, 2012 at 04:07 PM

After your Sean Spence comments you can keeps your shoes on

[Felipe]

Gotta say, delighted there is no QB controversy. Morris looking sharp.

[4-Real]

I can't even see the freakin game!!! Nebraska & southern miss on ESPN 2 & ABC!! Everybody trying 2 hurry the boyz :( U get what u pay 4 OGV !!!

[longtimecanefan]

wow, 1st quarter and we're in a no huddle hurry up offense already..

[orange 'n green in the vein]

Better convert Al.

[Felipe]
