And EllIOTT and a host of other Canespace rowdies BELIEVE Team Shannon will fall to the Hookies and or Carolina and or F.S.WHO. Go bloody figure.

I'm still standing my tierra firma, and thinking Clemson will be Miami's toughest A.C.C. game this season, with F.S.Who next.

The only reason why the Noles' will be a difficult game is because of the ' rivalry factor, ' as well as Miami coming off a difficult road trek in Clemson, S.C.

Nonetheless, the Pittsburgh game should give Cane fandom a more focused reading on Team Shannon.

Now, IF the Hurricanes struggle to ' win ' at Pittsburgh, then ELLIOTT and his Cane ILK could be right bout' VA Tech, Carolina and F.S.Who. Yous knows. LOL

Nope not yet, but I'm not worried. If all goes well, I'll get them in person.

Another tragically, disheartening social commentary regarding Pax Americana. Especially in the 21st Century!

Caveat Lectar Hurricane fans! http://espn.sports.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5592468

Jacory Harris gets hate message
Associated Press

CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Miami quarterback Jacory Harris said he received at least one racially motivated hate message following the Hurricanes' loss to Ohio State last weekend.

Harris said Sunday he received at least one comment on Twitter from someone saying the Hurricanes should not have "a black quarterback," making the revelation five days after the school told its football players to discontinue using the social messaging site.

Miami coach Randy Shannon told The Associated Press that the Twitter ban had "nothing" to do with the comment.

"Not really worried about it," Harris said.

"I know people say things like that. It's part of the sport. Got to get used to it."

Harris did not divulge exactly what was written or the sender's identity. He said he could not recall if the tweet contained any threats, and his Twitter account was deleted last week. The tweet he cited could not be found when searching Harris' former username Sunday.

It's far from the first time that racially insensitive comments have been directed toward Harris, who is black.

"It's flat-out wrong," Miami athletic director Kirby Hocutt said. "It's sad. It's disappointing. In a position that we celebrate, living in one of the most diverse communities in our nation, to have this type of behavior is appalling. It's not tolerable. Jacory is a very talented young man. We'll just continue on focusing to do the right things and rise above these type of comments."

No. 19 Miami (1-1) visits Pittsburgh (1-1) on Thursday night. Harris threw four interceptions, matching a career-worst, in Miami's 36-24 loss to Ohio State on Sept. 11.

Harris used Twitter on Wednesday to apologize to fans for that performance, and said he skipped through many of the messages he received because they were mainly negative.

"You see some things and you get kind of hurt, because sometimes it's your fans that say the things," Harris said. "It'll be the ones that probably just before the game wrote you some encouraging message, then after the game say they don't want a black quarterback here. Stuff like that. It's cool."

In his weekly interview session with reporters, Harris said at least three different times that he was not letting the comments affect him, and urged media covering the team to take the same approach.

"It's happened before, but it's nothing that I'm worried about," Harris said. "I'm not worried about it, so you guys shouldn't be worried about it. I'm OK with it. It's not a problem. Not with me."

His teammates, however, clearly had a problem with the issue.

"Hearing something like that, coming here to a diverse school, you would think we're past that," said defensive lineman Marcus Forston, who was Harris' high school teammate at Miami Northwestern High. "That's in the past. We all came to this school together. We've got a diverse locker room, and in there, you don't want to hear anything like that."

Added linebacker Jordan Futch: "We're going to take it with a grain of salt and make it a positive thing. So they're saying that we don't need that type of quarterback or they're saying we're not good enough or that we're supposed to be winning championships? It's because we are supposed to be doing that."

Miami is the only BCS school in the country with black coaches for football (Shannon) and men's basketball (Frank Haith).

Harris said he's trying to center his energies around getting ready for Pittsburgh, not on the anonymous comments from fans, whether it was of the positive or negative variety.

"It is disheartening. It's something that you look it and it kind of brings you to tears, a little bit," Harris said. "But at the same time, you know it's just a comment. Nothing else will be taken after that. There will be no steps taken after that. That's his opinion. That's that person's opinion. Got to live with it."

How sUrreal.

That is true. When I read some of the comments that were posted I deleted the whole blog immediately from that night.

Old Skool

I am hoping but I can't promise yet. The moment I know, you'll know which could be as early as Wednesday or as late as a week from Monday.

I'm having to wait on regulators to give the okay.

macjones

I was thinking Team Shannon would win by NINE or TEN points this Thursday noche.

Now, with Harris' Cane coaches and teammates COVERING his back, I'm thinking a MAJOR double-digit win! Say 17 or 20 points.

Old Skool

On another note. if HBO ever wants to update its new series about prohibition era gangsters in Atlantic City.

Here's an idea: Swamp Empire.

If there's libel issues just change the names slightly: Urban Meyer becomes Urban Lansky.

We are no longer giving out T-shirts for a "FIRST" but if U can answer this question U WIN:

How many catches/yards did Kellen "I'm a F'in Soldier" Winslow have for the Tampa Bay Bucs today?

canesteeler

I have no respect for punk azz shallow minded racist who hide behind keyboards. I hope a slow death to all racist! I don't give a damn what color the QB is at UM as long as he gets the team in the endzone! I said a long time ago that a friend of mine has a son who is a top notch QB and he happens to be white. Some schools are telling him not to go to UM because a white QB will not receive a fair shot! I WISH NOTHING BUT A SLOW PAINFUL DEATH TO ALL RACIST!

SinistercCane

4 catches 83 yards

SOUP

THAT WAS THEN (2002), THIS IS NOW (2010):

ROAD WARRIORS:

Since 1983, Miami has constructed the nation's best record in road games (not including neutral sites). The Hurricanes' road record in the 20 seasons beginning with 1983 is the best among all NCAA Division 1A football institutions.

Miami has a record of 84-19-0 (.815) in road games at the opponent's home. During that span, Miami has gone unbeaten in road games in nine seasons (1985, 1986, 1987, 1991, 1992, 1994, 1996, 2001 and 2002).

Oh wish I could watch that but I get the Jags when they are away. Both teams just keep throwing interceptions back in forth, to count 5 and now the Jags just blocked a punt.

Wsup []_[]family? I rarely post but when I do you know its News 2 the ears...

1. It was completely out of line idiotic, dumb, stupid, lowlife, racist for who ever thought it was a great ideato tweet that to Jacory!!!

2.Here we go again!!! Jacory has his priorities jacked up!!!
From talkin and texting T.PRYOR before the game and after, worrying about middle fingers everywhere in the osu stadium, building your brand comment about the deletion of tweeter, now worrying about a fan who is clearly is a dumb f^k -whom i guaranteed you that he would never say that to anyones face!!!


3. Why comment or worry about this Jacory??? Gary Ferman and any other UM affiliates why post this??? Why feed into negative energy???? How can this help o[]_[]r program??? -This will hurt us more than any1 will know!!!-Other College Coaches are going to eat off this! I would love im mean Absolutely LOVE 2 tell you guys on here everything that goes on with the UM program but I can't i may tell a couple but thats it.-SOMETHINGS ARE MENT TO KEEP IN HOUSE!!!

4.In the late 80s and 90s []_[]M players were called thugs, hoodlums, convicts, even murders .... But they played the game and did it with a chip on there shoulders!!!! They took pride in knowing who they were and know what they could do! THEY DID NOT LISTEN TO US FANS OR ANYONE ELSE...THEY DIDN'T EVEN LISTEN TO THIER HEAD COACH @TIMES..LOL For example, the Texas cotton bowl... or 1993@ WVa Mountianeer game when people where calling them N and spitting on them!-They had it waaayyyyy worse!!!! but they did not feed into the negativity just on WINNING GAMES!!!

5.Shannon needs to shut the whole program down -Meaning No interviews with players only coaches!!! No facebook etc... I loved to hear updates from players but the more I look into this do other programs have this much info from players from the media????

STFU AND PLAY THE GAME canes!!!! SMH


SOUP

ZAKKEE...THIS FOR U:

Dan Morgan, 2000:

Miami middle linebacker Dan Morgan became the first Hurricane defender to win the coveted Butkus Award in 2000. Morgan started 43 games at linebacker, the most starts by any Miami linebacker ever and the most by any Hurricanes defensive player in the history of UM football.

Morgan helped lead the Hurricanes to a 10-1 season and an invitation to the Sugar Bowl. Morgan holds the school record for career tackles with 507 and is the only player in UM history to record over 100 tackles in four consecutive seasons. He led the Hurricanes in tackles in 2000 with 123, and he ranked in the top 10 in the nation in tackles per game throughout the season.

Morgan became first player ever to win college football's three top defensive awards available to linebackers: the Butkus Award, the Bednarik Award and the Nagurski Award.

I agree!!!

Zakkee

Thanks SOUP, but I knew all of that. Just wondering where his beef with Shannon's regime comes from. He's totally not impressed.

I have total and complete respect for Dan (as a player, but as an ex- player...not so much (still to be seen or heard). WQAM interviews him every now and then and I never hear any solutions from him. He know he lives in Florida, maybe even Miami..Coral Gables to be exact?? I'd love to hear about or see him show up for practice or the weight room and give some pointers on how to get it done. Of course CMac isn't you, but he could've used your mentoring to get a little closer to greatness.

Jus sayin'

Thanks Windy1

Sebastian

No matter who you are, you never want to read something like that from what you think are fans of the team you give 100% to win for

It was a very very difficult loss and then to see something like that from a person you thought was a fan of yours makes it that much worse

9/23/10-Win #2

321CANES

Manny Navarro(Um) Miami Herald-Asked about taking chances as a quarterback and knowing when not to throw the ball, Harris said, "No matter what the situation the game is, I'm going to be the same quarterback. I don't think the less chances I take I make smarter reads. It always seems at the end of the game everything opens up and it gets kind of easy. I don't have to take many chances when I'm in the game, because it's basically there."

It's really the last part of that quote that opened my eyes a bit. If you think about it, the only thing that's usually common at the end of a game is that Harris is in the shotgun, running a no-huddle offense with five receivers. That's pretty much what he did in high school. I don't want to put words into his mouth. But it sounded to me like he almost admitted he's only comfortable throwing in those situations.

DID ANYONE CATCH THIS???? I TOLD YOU ALL THIS MAN IS WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY MORE COMFORTABLE IN A SPREAD FORMATION!!!!!!! WOW!!!

canesfan5

It sucks what happened to j12 but you have got to have tougher skin than that. There are scumbags in every part of life. What they say only matters if you let it effect you. Come on j12 you can be only what you want to be and not what some moron says. Don't worry about shit you can't control and worry about what you can control on the field. Go canes
