Today: Your Miami Hurricanes will face the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame at Soldier Field in Chicago. Widely advertised as a "neutral game site" there is absolutely nothing neutral about the home field advantage for the Irish as they traveled just 90 miles versus 900 miles for your crew from the 305.
This game is so huge on the college football horizon for Hurricane fans that it is almost unimaginable. The game may very well be the season turning catalyst that the Hurricanes need to aspire to higher achievements and glory as they look to regain National prominence.
Here's a little pump up video for the game from our friend CaneFreak:
Tomorrow: Hurricane fans hope to be celebrating the biggest win for Miami since their 2009 victory over then highly ranked Oklahoma at Sun life Stadium. If the Hurricanes can find a way to beat Notre Dame in Chicago the sky is all of a sudden the limit for this young but talented team.
It would be by far the biggest win of UM head coach Al Golden's young UM career and set up two huge ACC match-ups with North Carolina and Florida State back to back at home in Miami. Now doesn't that sound like fun from the good old days?
If you want to work hard and get dirty then this video will get it done:
Always: Respect the other team and root for your Miami Hurricanes to win the game against any opponent at any site, neutral or not. Today's game holds incredible opportunities for UM against a storied program and big time rival in what basically amounts to a home game for the Irish.
May the game be a good contest, be fairly called and hard fought throughout.
And may the best team win!
Canespace Prediction: UM 31, ND 27

Ahhh social media. This should generate some buzz...
Ohio State third-string quarterback Cardale Jones made his feelings about attending classes clear Friday on Twitter.
"Why should we have to go to class if we came here to play FOOTBALL, we ain't come to play SCHOOL classes are POINTLESS," he wrote.
The tweet and Jones' entire account have been deleted, but multiple media outlets captured Jones' words before they vanished

The Coastal is our to lose and we should not waste the chance. By the end of today we could have more than a 1 game lead on every team. VPI just lost to UNC who is ineligible. VPI also has to play at Clemson and V FSU. Duke is the only other undefeated team in our division with all due respect i don't think that will hold. GT needs us and VPI to lose 3 games to have a chance. Heart says the guys check these results come out fired up and play a loose game v ND and take it to them. Forcing TOs and slinging it all over the field.

Posted by: The Dude | October 06, 2012 at 04:34 PM
Kyle Brindza is Notre Dames kicker on kick offs. He has kicked off 23 times this year and has 10 touchbacks. To me this is really important because it means Duke and Dorsett will have shots at returns. Also, no one has scored on the Irish this year in the first quarter. I think Miami can change that.

didn't mow or weed all week, expecting this may be a long evening...
The No'D has to step up big time if we're going to win. If not, we can only hope it turns into a track meet and the team that scores last wins.....
My guess....sorry but after 5 weeks I've got no confidence in No'D, and I'm afraid Morris is simply over due for a bad game
....ND 38 U 10........
Posted by: longtimecanefan | October 06, 2012 at 05:35 PM
Duke is up 28-17. The perfect storm is brewing.

Not really. D'No hasn't earned the benefit of the doubt yet.
Posted by: Felipe | October 06, 2012 at 05:59 PM
Felipe...while I will agree D'No hasn't, I think the players have. They have at least made key stops and have had some 3 and outs..if we lose I do not think it will be by that much..imo
Posted by: UMike | October 06, 2012 at 06:01 PM
No predictions from me. Just gonna route like hell and hope to god these boys fight like this means as much to them as it does to everyone else. Hopefully we roll. Go Canes! Your future is in your hands!
Posted by: The Dude | October 06, 2012 at 06:06 PM
ND's offense isn't good enough to score 63 points against any defense with 11 players standing upright.
Posted by: dj moonbat | October 06, 2012 at 06:08 PM
D'No's scheme calls for 11 players to stand upright? I thought four of them have to square dance with the biggest guys on the other team or else they get benched for causing fumbles in the backfield?

Posted by: Jramos | October 06, 2012 at 07:18 PM
Im getting that feeling in my stomach...must be about game time!!! I dont care what u think, this game matters just as much..this can change a lot of things for a young miami team..they need a big win over a top 10 team to be considered legit.

Posted by: CGNC | October 06, 2012 at 07:44 PM
dorsett chocked....two easy td's dropped them both...nerves of a rookie...
Posted by: longtimecanefan | October 06, 2012 at 07:46 PM
Morris is ready for prime time, but Dorsett is not. These kind of drops will cause the Canes to loose if they dont't end those kind of mistakes.
Posted by: BigWindyCane1 | October 06, 2012 at 07:46 PM
Wow. Two dropped TD passes on the same drive. That's not easy to do.
But I promised Willie Will I'd never say anything bad about Dorsett...

The refs will not let us win this game regardless of how many drops we have
Posted by: AnthonyJManis aka Antcane | October 06, 2012 at 07:52 PM
QB zone read from the shotgun = 13. Sounds about average.
Posted by: orange 'n green in the vein | October 06, 2012 at 07:53 PM
Already trying 2 steal this 1
Posted by: 4-Real | October 06, 2012 at 07:54 PM
a reverse of the call years ago...this one will go back to ND...back then they gave it to ND when it was the U that dropped it at the goal line.....
Posted by: longtimecanefan | October 06, 2012 at 07:56 PM
UM is not getting that '88 fumble back with interest this year thanks to replay.

Posted by: Sinistercane | October 06, 2012 at 07:58 PM
ND will put up 35 easy tonight....I'd say near 450 in total offense before it's over.
It's all up to Morris to keep us in this...
Posted by: longtimecanefan | October 06, 2012 at 07:59 PM
Couldn't script a worse opening six minutes of this game for Miami if you tried.
Well, no, you could script a start for Turf Face, I take that back.

Posted by: The Dude | October 06, 2012 at 08:08 PM
Wieclaw off the schnide. That's a real ticky-tack holding call, they better call that both ways all game long now if the refs are setting that as a precedent on a TD run.
