Game Day Blog: Miami vs North Carolina

Disappointed you can’t make it up to Chapel Hill for the ‘Canes/Tarheels showdown? 

Well if you are anywhere near Palm Beach County, you are in luck! 

You don’t have to sit at home alone.  Instead, join the Palm Beach ‘Canes Club at Miller’s Ale House at 1200 Yamato Road in East Boca Raton to cheer on your Miami Hurricanes with fellow ‘Canes fans and alums!

PBCC’s Director of Athletic Programming and Canespace’s own JSQ (Mary Clark) will be on hand to welcome you and encourage you to enter to win an autographed football signed by the 2009 UM Ring of Honor inductees Steve Walsh, Bennie Blades and Eddie Dunn (Gary Dunn signing for his father, the late Eddie Dunn) and other fun Hurricanes' gear!

Miller’s Ale House has food and drink specials for the game watches and is a great, spirited atmosphere complete with the fight song after touchdowns.  That's not to mention that the JSQ in place of Sebastian the Ibis doing the C-A-N-E-S...‘CANES cheer after every score or big play! 

So join the JSQ, Ben Leis, President of the PBCC (pictured above), and fellow UM fans for an afternoon of food, drinks and ‘Canes camaraderie for this important ACC matchup! 

In addition to game watches, the Palm Beach 'Canes Club does a variety of programming. Canespace was in attendance for the football kickoff event with Don Bailey, Jr., Steve Walsh and Lamar Thomas (pictured below with Canezilla).

Upcoming events include their annual Holiday Party, with special guest speaker Dr. William R. Butler, UM Vice President for Student Affairs Emeritus (for sponsorship opportunities contact the JSQ or Ben Leis) on December 10 from 6-8pm at Nick and Johnnie's on Palm Beach, as well as The U premier party on December 12 at the home of the JSQ, and a Habitat for Humanity build on February 20, 2010.

3rd!

[Sean Spence is a Beast!!!]

Do i get a shirt or something for being third???? lol

[moneycane]

SSiaB you are late to the party. How you feeling about the game tomorrow

[Six]

F*** UiF

That is all.

And just who exactly envies UiFs recruiting? Whoever says that should go wash their mouth out with a vat of OxiClean

What exactly is wrong with:

Graig Cooper, Allen Bailey, Damien Berry, Orlando Franklin, DVD, Lee Chambers, Leonard Hankerson, Adewale Ojomo, Arthur Brown, Marcus Forston, Cookie Buchanon, Jordan Futch, Brandon Harris, Glue Hands Johnson, Marcus Robinson, Davon Johnson, Big Ben Jones, Sean Spence, Tommy Streeter, Miami Vice Telemaque, Brandon Road Grater Washington, Travis Benjamin, Jacory Harris, Jeremy Lewis, LaRon Byrd, Micanor Regis, Pimp Collier, Kendall Thompkins, John Calhoun, Patrick Bowling Ball Hill, Andrew Smith, Ray Ray Armstrong, Lamar Miller, Brandon McGee, Mike James - WHO? MIKE JAMESSS, Dyron Dye, Jermaine Johnson, Luther Robinson, Olivier Vernon, Malcolm Bunche, Curtis Porter, AJ Highsmith, Billy Sanders, Jared Wheeler, Cory White and Stephen Plein?

What's wrong with those guys again enough that anyone would ever envy another program's recruiting?

Mark Whipple has no need for Viagra b/c of the offensive toys he has to play with .. dude walks around with an attentive soldier just thinking about how to move the ball down the field

And give the baby Canes on D another year to get all of those Sophomores into Juniors and Frosh into Sophs ... depth returns at all positions ... Lovett will be the same way

[moneycane]

Is this thing on???

[moneycane]

I am not the recruitnik but I feel like The Boss man and co have done a great job. Just look at the list Six wrote. You can take any three players off that list and they can have done more than any players that were recruited during the ChOKER regime.

[Six]

Oh, and I got SIXTH ... AGAIN

I'm freakin money beotch

To tell you the truth, UiF will be better off without QB #15, b/c Brantley can actually throw the ball around the yard. They might actually line him up under center ... something UiF hasn't done with their QB in 3 years.

Believe me, Brantley is legit as a QB. He's not a selfish s.o.b. like the current QB is in calling his own number all the damn time and he actually goes past his 1st read while not staring down his receivers. Will he have a tremendous monster monkey on his back with all the morons out there trying to compare everything he does to the current hypocritical bible beater? Yea .. and that's why they're basically idiot fans. Two different people, two different styles of play.

You know who all UiF loses after this year?

Tebow of Nazareth, Brandon James, Riley Cooper, David Nelson, Carl Moore, Jermaine Cunningham, Dustin Doe, Ryan Stamper, Brandon Spikes, Dorian Monroe, Markihe Anderson, Wondy Pierre-Louis

That's 1 QB, 1 RB, 3 WR, 1 DE, 1 NT, 4 LBs, 1 SS, 2 DBs

Now, with that in mind. How many of these guys will possibly take a chance in the draft?

Aaron Hernandez, the Pouncey twins, Carlos Dunlap, Ahmad Black, Major Wright, Joe Haden? They're all Juniors ... say they win the NChampionship (which I said that they would at the beginning of the year)

Why would those cats stay?

They're going to fall off the perch a hell of a lot sooner than later, esp. with losing all those people

Their staying power will not be for long. Right now they're the #1 team in the nation and defending champs - that is fact. Basically the reason they are is b/c the other 2 teams of the Big 3 in the state of Florida took a nosedive for various reasons, which allowed the Crocs to crawl on top

That's not jealousy - that's fact as well

Not only will their staying power not be for long b/c them losing those players, it will also be b/c of Nick Saban at Bama building that program into a beast ... it will be b/c Lane Kiffin (even if you think he's a clown) will build Rocky Top back up and if you don't think he will, you really need to liquify reality into a huge syringe and shoot yourself up with it like a heroin fiend - you have his dad running the D and you give Lane a chance to bring in a couple of recruiting classes with his own QB, ya, they'll be back quick

The orange and blue King Kong is about to fall off the building

Sorry Six that name is already taken. lol

[Sean Spence is a Beast!!!]

Money, i am pumped for the game, there is no sleeping after work, I gotta watch the GT game first, then the Canes at 3:30, and then my boy Pacquiao's got a fight at 9 pm.

Go Duke!
Go Canes!
Go Pacman!

[moneycane]

Yeah everything goes in a cycle. Uif is the top dog at the moment but it wont last 4ever. Honestly I feel that college football is better when the Canes rule and FSU is a notch behind

[Sean Spence is a Beast!!!]

King Kong's got nothing! i say nothing! the ol' ball coach will use every single trick plays his got on his sleeves! and them turds wouldn't know what hit them.

[moneycane]

Spence you are an animal. You must not be a drinker or you would nod off at halftime.

[Sean Spence is a Beast!!!]

Duke by a fG
Canes by 10
Pac by 8 rd tko

Vault it!

[Sean Spence is a Beast!!!]

Not so much on the drinking part, a few redbulls though wouldn't hurt! all in all, my day will be a blast!

Did it a couple of times already going to the shark after work, and going to the shark before work!

[Six]

And UiF is not losing to South Cackalack and the Head Visor tomorrow though, believe that

Don't buy into the hype that every media outlet that is trying to make this into a good game will feed to you .. "Oh, it's the Head Ball Coach, la la la" ... that doesn't matter. Spurrier isn't behind center - Stephen Garcia is

They beat Vandy (0-6 in conference) by 4 points

They beat Kentucky by 2 points

They got stomped by Rocky Top and Pig Sooey in back-to-back weeks

Their rushing offense is ranked 91st in the country, but the Crocs are 13th in the country against the run ... their passing offense is 37th in the country, but the Crocs are 2nd against the pass

The Crocs have beaten South Cackalack 17 out of 18 times, 3 straight and put a 56-6 curbstomping on them last year

The game chickens just plain suck at the end of this season, they only averaging around 12 points in their last 4 games

[Sean Spence is a Beast!!!]

Sometimes, i hope that some fans would have the same desire to go to the games as much as i do, a lot of south floridians use the same ol' bullcrap reason that there is too much to do down here in Soflo. it's 19 bucks a game, it's nothing, it's like buying a shirt from the gap!

[Six]

moneycane - true, haha ... I am impeccable though in getting in the Sixth post of blogs when I want to

"You're so money and you don't even know it!"

[Sean Spence is a Beast!!!]

Hey, where you at mike??? dude's usually a night owl.

[moneycane]

"You're so money and you don't even know it!"

I've never seen the Swingers movie. I swore that was Linda Cohn

[moneycane]

For the GameDay Blog I have a couple of predictions

1) Sam Sheilds will get his first pick or find his way into the endzone somehow.

2) Orlando Fanklin will dominate the guy in front of him all afternoon.

3) The Defense will create atleast two turnovers with one coming in the redzone

4) There will not be a cleanly blocked punt. You can bet that after the UVA game Randy lost countless hours of sleep and he has "coached up" the special teams.

5) Obviously Miami will out score UNC

then, next thing you know Yates is throwing bombs down field!

It is always the case with the teams we play against, there offense would suck the entire yr, but you can bet that when they play us, all of a sudden their offense shows up!

[Sean Spence is a Beast!!!]

The Mystique of Miami!

It's good thing and a bad thing!

Coz' everybody we've played against always got something to prove, we're always the measuring stick to everyone, we're the team that other teams can say "we beat Miami, we have to be top 10", the best of them comes out when it's the hurricanes! they wanna match the intensity of the hurricane swag!

[moneycane]

It does happen that way SSiaB, but I dont think this is the case. Greg Little and Draughn are their most explosive players. One wont be on the field for this game. Last year UNC had Hakeem Nix(NFL talent), B. Tate(explosive), and B. Foster( average) at WR. Greg Little was the fouth option behind those guys. Houston is a big back but I dont think he has the tools to break a run for 50+ or catch any long passes out of the backfield. Their D will keep them in the game but wear down late and the Canes will pull out the W.

[Sean Spence is a Beast!!!]

VT was struggling offensively before they played us, and then when it's finally us they going up against, Tyrod looks like freakin' michael vick running the ball!

Clemson's offense was mediocre at best til' they played us, all of a sudden you have Spiller returning kicks a'la hester!

I wouldn't be surprised if all of a sudden Yates looks like the 08 version of Bradford!

I hope so Money, i truly hope so!

[moneycane]

Yeah but look at all the dynamic players you those teams had. Clemson had Spiller and Ford. Va Tech had Tyrod and R. Williams. Any of those players would start for UNC. Tyrod is not the greatest passer but he is a very dynamic and explosive player.

[moneycane]

I am pumped for this game and I am ready for UNC to get Butch slapped. Randy hasn't forgotten and won't let this team fall in the 27 point hole it did last time in Chapel Hill

I'm out

Yeah, i understand what you're saying Money, I'm just saying that where was their offense before playing us?? other teams gets a break and catch this teams sleeping, when it's time to play us, they wake up and all of a sudden they find their offense playing like one of the best in the country. Spillers heisman talk gots a lot to do with how they played the Canes, he should send us a gift! when they see the U logo on our players helmet, it's like the animal in them comes out.

[orange 'n green in the vein]

We've got this, especially if Duke wins before kickoff.

[Sean Spence is a Beast!!!]

I truly believe that also Vein, just worried we might struggle a lil early on, it's never fun to watch when your team plays catch up, i'm too young to have a heart attack!

[CanesAddiction]

Does anyone feel like the Duke score will affect our team?

I'll say this much. If Duke loses and we still come out like gangbusters I'm going to give a healthy portion of credit to our coaching staff.

[miamimike01]

No Excuses!

UM wins tomorrow, 27-13.

[fran]

Good morning Mike
Please say hello to Randy for us. Off to get breakfast for both of us then its floor cleaning day.

Game day biatch! Canes about to mollywop unc

[CGNC]

404 I will be there - does Solar have your digits?

For this game we have to put pressure on Yates and STOP the run

[Cat 5 Cane]

404.. Great day to be a Miami-Huricane...
Ohhh Yeah!

Allot of stuff is riding on this game... never won in chapel hill, never beat Butch, the newbie's have something to prove to themselves... winning against a team that have owned them late in the 4th qtr... but it's a new year and they have been turning the tide in every game this year since losing to VT 31/7. One thing for sure, this team has grown up since that game and are finding ways to dominate or win games that they could or should have lost do to turnovers. No longer are they giving up, like last year, when the tank was empty. Now, our Hurricanes are finding new ways to prove to themselves and growing up in front of our eyes...

After reading today's paper, I believe, the team is ready for a late run... yeah, we ready!

http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/colleges/um/story/1332316.html

Miami never has won in Chapel Hill, falling 27-16 in 1963, 31-28 on a last-second field goal in 2004 (Tar Heels fans stormed the field and tore down the goalposts), and 33-27 in 2007. Davis took over UNC in 2007.

Last year at Dolphin Stadium, the Hurricanes were up 14-0 in the first quarter, 17-7 at halftime and 24-14 with about 10 minutes left in the game. North Carolina scored on a 74-yard touchdown pass with nine minutes left to make it 24-21. A 14-yard touchdown pass that beat cornerback Demarcus Van Dyke made it 28-24. And on the game's final play, UNC defensive back Trimane Goddard pulled the ball out of the hands of receiver Kayne Farquharson in the end zone to seal the victory with an interception.

``It hurts more to lose a heartbreaker than to lose convincingly,'' cornerback Brandon Harris said. ``Because some games you think you know you have in the bag -- like the North Carolina game.

``A lot of the guys who played in that game moved on, but the whole secondary takes it personal as a unit. We want redemption.''

Van Dyke, whose play has improved considerably, said it was time to ``move to the present'' and take care of this game.

``You can't dwell on the past,'' he said. ``I'm just dong everything Coach Shannon and [defensive backs coach Wesley] McGriff tell me to do.''
