Welcome to the LIVE blog for the Emerald Nuts bowl game featuring your Miami Hurricanes and the Califorinia Bears. Join us as we cover the game here on the blog with OGV reporting from San Francisco later tonight and again tomorrow with a photo essay from the game.
Jacory "I got this" Harris starts at QB with Robert "I don't feel tardy" Marve suspended by lead dog Randy Shannon. Apparently young Bobby has some alarm clock issues and can't get to class on time so he gets to stay home and have more time to plan his next move. Meanwhile, the Canes move on without Marve to kick around and plan to represent the ACC out West.
Canes fans have been driven nuts all year long by the young and inconsistent team that will play Cal in what turns out to be basically a home game for 'da Bears. They all hope the UM players and coaches are ready to rumble in the City By The Bay and bring home a victory to ring out 2008 and bring in 2009 with a bang. Otherwise we may go absolutley nuts!
so our game probably will be starting at 7:30 instead of 7.

FSU was listed as a 4 PM start but didn't start til 4:30 and this game isn't even in the 4th quarter yet.
Posted by: Esteban | December 27, 2008 at 06:45 PM
and would you be excited to get a top commit at QB who had 18 INTs his SR year in high school? USC fans can be the ones who answer that cause that's what they got coming.

Posted by: canechic | December 27, 2008 at 06:55 PM
Hey Minn! How are you? CC, u watching the game at home?
Posted by: CanesgirlNC | December 27, 2008 at 06:58 PM
The only school song more annoying than FSU's is Flori-duhs
Posted by: CanesgirlNC | December 27, 2008 at 07:03 PM
Can't wait to see Jacory take charge! (Start-to-finish...)
Posted by: roachcane77 | December 27, 2008 at 07:04 PM
I know Wisconsin isn't stellar but FSU just might be a Pre-season Top 10 next year.
Posted by: Russell | December 27, 2008 at 07:04 PM
USCs duh duh da da duh dah gets pretty damn annoying as well.
The only school fight song that doesn't get tired to me is Tennessee's. I love hearing Rocky Top. To heck with Spurrier.

Posted by: Esteban | December 27, 2008 at 07:08 PM

CGNC
I'm doing great, how was your Christmas?
Posted by: NavyCane4Life | December 27, 2008 at 07:08 PM
Este,
I think 7:30
Posted by: NavyCane4Life | December 27, 2008 at 07:09 PM
LOL I don't watch many of USC's games to know. Speaking of USC, did you see the interview with Pete Carroll on 60 minutes recently? APparently he goes out at night into Compton and works with the kids trying to get them away from gangs. Gotta respect that
Posted by: CanesgirlNC | December 27, 2008 at 07:09 PM
damn just looked...yup 8!!
i've been thinking 7 all day.
Posted by: Esteban | December 27, 2008 at 07:09 PM
sorry 7:30 CT and 8:30 ET
Posted by: NavyCane4Life | December 27, 2008 at 07:10 PM
Great Minn! It has been overcast here though - Bah Humbug ;-D
Game is suppopsed to be 8 eastern time
Posted by: CanesgirlNC | December 27, 2008 at 07:10 PM
i'm ordering a Stromboli. didn't think i'd have time to go pick it up.
Posted by: Esteban | December 27, 2008 at 07:10 PM
CGNC,
I caught that 60 Minutes piece. It was pretty impressive.
He even gave those gang kids his personal cell #.
You're right... gotta respect that.
Posted by: roachcane77 | December 27, 2008 at 07:11 PM
Dekoda Watson got some giddy up.
Posted by: Esteban | December 27, 2008 at 07:12 PM
past 2 weeks in the seattle area its been like Minnesotta. thankfully its back to normal today, 42 and raining.
Hehe and to think I would have driven to Boise if the canes played the Smurf Turf bowl. I've done the San Fran drive once and its a long one.
Geez FSU is running away with this one.
Posted by: Russell | December 27, 2008 at 07:13 PM
Nice ACC about to go 2-1 in bowl games and hopefully 3-1 by midnight! GO CANES!
Posted by: NavyCane4Life | December 27, 2008 at 07:13 PM
CGNC,
When I first got back to Minnesota a couple weeks ago, it was bitter cold here like negatives and snowy. Last couple of days all the snow is melting and unseasonably warm high 30's. I'll be back in Georgia tomorrow in the nice warm weather again. GO CANES!
Posted by: NavyCane4Life | December 27, 2008 at 07:18 PM
FSU turning this into a bloodshed!
Posted by: NavyCane4Life | December 27, 2008 at 07:24 PM
ACC knocking off BIG 10 tonight PAC-10 later tonight, Big East and SEC later this week. NICE!
Posted by: NavyCane4Life | December 27, 2008 at 07:25 PM
Now Epps is out too with a leg injury? Well Nix doesnt use the TE anyway, hopefully not a huge loss with no Richard Gordon.
Posted by: Rashad | December 27, 2008 at 07:27 PM
Rashad,
where did you find that out?
Posted by: NavyCane4Life | December 27, 2008 at 07:28 PM
Epps out? Where you hear that? Damn. Adderly better be ready. 3 TEs out. Only Zellner and Adderly left available.
Posted by: Esteban | December 27, 2008 at 07:29 PM
I can't find anything on Epps being out.
Posted by: NavyCane4Life | December 27, 2008 at 07:33 PM
Roachcane - yeah I was really impressed with that segment on Pete Carroll. One thing he does not lack is enthusiasm. USC will stay strong as long as he remains the head coach there. LOL after NC lost today I wonder how many more scholly's Butch is yanking?!?!?
GO CANES!!!

Posted by: roachcane77 | December 27, 2008 at 07:44 PM

Aldarius Johson.
Posted by: dj moonbat | December 27, 2008 at 07:46 PM

Posted by: SlingBlade | December 27, 2008 at 07:46 PM

Posted by: NavyCane4Life | December 27, 2008 at 07:46 PM

Posted by: SlingBlade | December 27, 2008 at 07:48 PM
MVP - Bosher
Posted by: CanesgirlNC | December 27, 2008 at 07:52 PM
mvp - James.
Posted by: Esteban | December 27, 2008 at 07:56 PM
Has the Notre Dame sick-a-thon started yet? I figured after their bowl win, the media would be ready to make them a top 15 pre-season team.
Posted by: hurriphin | December 27, 2008 at 07:59 PM
I gonna punch mark may in the face one day.......one day, i'm tellin' you.
Posted by: hurriphin | December 27, 2008 at 08:02 PM

Posted by: CanesgirlNC | December 27, 2008 at 08:04 PM
