[hazydavy]

What time do most people show up to tailgate @ our home games?

[Daddeh]

U

[CoCane]

Maybe the KSU game was one of those games where 1 team plays the best they can, while the other plays their absolute worst. Shrugging

Also KSU could be full of themselves. It still means something to beat the U. Everyone still brings their A game against us... Ijs

[86Cane]

NEW BLOG IS UP!

[4-Real]

When Alabama fans walk up 2 me on a daily basis & tell me that Miami's school president wants or appears 2 want 2 DO AWAY WITH ATHLETICS......c'mon now!!?

[Jack]

Al Golden in presser "We will deliver". I believe in Al Golen!

[Q]

Mighty North Texas and the Olympians known as Kansas state 7-7 inthe middle of the second

[Jack]

Thought so thanks man, Amari is a good looking freshman.

[Panamacitycane]

It's only 7-7 kstate vs north Texas 5 left in the first half.. wowser!

[4-Real]

Reese said the the same thing last week. Ksu in a dogfight with North Texas so far....thats right, North Texas :(

[Tsully76]

86 it was great seeing and hanging with ya. It was good tomeet you Ocala Cane as well see you fam in 2 weeks. Go Canes

[CoCane]

How bad is Perryman's injury?

[tjl3909]

Amari Cooper, FL kid??

Posted by: Jack | September 15, 2012 at 05:41 PM

He's from Miami Northwestern

[tjl3909]

Tony-I think they only have 15-16 schollys available for next year so 11 commits at this point is great

[TonyCane]

Sad thing is that even without sanctions, the earliest that we will get close to 9 wins is 2014. It will take that long to get quality depth reinserted back into the lineup.

Not liking the fact that we only have 11 kids committed at this point. Reminds me of Shannon's last year (although that number dwindled as the season went on).

[Felipe]

Al said something about some of the things not showing up in practice, just game day (false starts I think).

That's what scares me the most, that some of these guys are practice powerhouses that might be pissing themselves come game day. Exact opposite attitude we're looking for. If true, hope they grow out of it. See it as an opportunity to re-define the U, not as an on-your-heels-have-to-defend-the-U mentality. That'll get you clocked every time.

UNC lot of heart today no quit, GT bulldozers, tough sledding ahead

[Felipe]

I hope Rocky Top beats the living piss out of the Gators. EOM

[Felipe]

@Manny_Navarro

Duke Johnson has 638 all-purpose yards through 3 games.He's on pace to finish with 2,552 yards. #UM record is 2,102 by Willis McGahee

[Felipe]

Good grief what is it with teams today storming back then falling apart at the very very end? North Carolina turnover on downs.

[Felipe]

Wow UNC storming back. 34-39 in redzone

[BEERicane]

Unless you win the MAST lottery or Pinecrest

[Jack]

UNC on an epic come back, maybe!!

[BEERicane]

Spend their money on private school for the kids so they don't have to go to the garbage public schools down here.

[Tsully76]

so u bandwagon fans can get kick rocks.

[Tsully76]

BeeriCane nah I am just not the typical bandwagon Miami fan I put my money where my mouth is. Btw so what do miamians spend their money on other than the Heat all the other teams ain't winning jack. BTW so when our Canes was winning titles we still only average about
55,000 fans a game so u bandwagon Canes fans can hydrogen .

[solarcane]

hi CG,
Canes win, UNC prolly gonna lose, good day all around

[CGNC]

Co, I heard that tool Reece Davis today talking about "the artist formerly known as the U". He could not pass as a mediocre game show host. Between he and Mark May, I don't know, I see their mouths move, yet.....nothing

[MassivCane]

In my opinion, 6 wins looks to be acheiveable, hopefully there are no issues that prevent us from hitting that goal. We aren't going to beat FSU, but we could steal some wins away from other teams. The whole team is young and just not geling right now. Morris couldn't hit any open targets today, if he did the core would have probably been +21. Duke brings back memories of Edge, McGahee, Moss. He will be an AA before he leaves. The O-Line is only going to get better and the receivers are good. The whole scheme on O needs to be more aggressive. The D will get there, the kids just need to grow and get stronger. The problem is, we really don't have time for those excuses. We really need to start winning games. BC was a good first win, KS was a terrible loss, and BCC was expected. I didn't think we would only score 38 but Morris needs to get his head right or get replaced.

As for Lville, please remember if all the Miami scandal stuff about paying recruits is true, that would be true for all those kids in the ville(just speculation). Please also remember that we have had very poor coaching and recruiting the past 8 years. Golden is really the first tru HC we have had since Butch. Yeah we may see some coodinator changes (i doubt it) but as lon as Al stays he will be able to build that foundation. Until we have consistency with our coaches we aren't going to be good. Until we can continue to recruit solid players we aren't going to be good. Only time will tell.

[CoCane]

CGNC,

I cosign ^^^

[CGNC]

Solar! What's up?

[CoCane]

I'm still a fan & I still want to see my team ball

[CGNC]

Posted by: 4-Real | September 15, 2012 at 05:38 PM

Here is my take on that. They (Yahoo and ESPN) were ALL OVER the Shapiro crap when Yahoo broke it. NOW it looks like alot of it cannot be substantiated AND Penn State stole that thunder. Eff Them. :-D

[CoCane]

Queericane,

Smoke some with me

[Jack]

Our D used to look like the Tides, our O was way better!!

[solarcane]

Cane Football= Groundhog Day

[4-Real]

The tide is what we used 2 be. But look on the bright side, they cant touch us in the classroom :)

[orange 'n green in the vein]

BEER, I can see his point though, it all depends on what kind of performance the staff can coach out of the team on any given week and the scheme deployed. Noticed a lot more press being played on the corners today but then again, that competition talent level wasn't top flight so that obviously helped.

ND is about to get put through a wood chipper tonight so they're about to get the blue print for winning that game for the outright upset. Just got to keep the three headed monster healthy at RB and churn out 150+ ground yards and all those can be wins with a positive turnover ratio.

[Jack]

I agree with you on the other wins!! 7-5 at best 6-6 most likely as long as this team continues to grow!

[Jack]

Cocane - Logan Thomas will look all world vs
Our D!

[BEERicane]

^looks like someone has moved on from snorting it to smoking it

[Tsully76]

Our Canes are 2-1. I am not complaining. Our Canes need to get ready for Ga. Tech and NC State.

[dj moonbat]

Wow, Alabama is just thumping the everloving crap out of Arkansas. The Tide is for realz.

[CoCane]

Being optimistic...

NC St
UNC
VT
UV
USF
DUKE

All look no better than us. 7 or 8 wins is still possible Imo

[BEERicane]

Miami attendance has been made fun of by the media for years. It's one of the few major programs in a city with stuff to do better than watch a high school team come to town. Not going to this game does not necessarily show lack of support for the team, it shows that the citizens of Miami have a brain not to waste their $ on the product that is on the field and their worthless opponent. These dollars fall under disposable/entertainment that crap today was not worth the money. It can be better spent elsewhere.

[Jack]

4-real - noon game against Bethune off of a ass woopin. Nobody is coming out for that in Miami! It has Always been that way...

[Jack]

Amari Cooper, FL kid??

[BEERicane]

No good games on now. This sucks

[4-Real]

Yahoo pouring it on!!! Gotta artcicle poking fun about Miami's attendance. Expect ESPN & all the major networks 2 do the same. Nationwide conspiracy 2 bury the U once & 4 all & everybody affiliated with Miami is actually cool with it, from the administration to the alumni & fans. Why else would u make excuse after excuse 2 justify this bullshit!!? Don't understand how everybody claims 2 have so much love 4 a guy whom...

A. Has accomplished absolutely nuthin!

B. Was never heard of prior 2 bn hired at Miami.

[Account Deleted]

man Louisville putting a hurting on NC. Teddy B having a big day

[BEERicane]

If Duke ever develops the ability to catch the ball reliably, he will be the best offensive player at UM ever.

[Account Deleted]

Other than the W and some experience this game doesn't count as much.

We'll see how good/bad we are starting next week.

5-7 or 6-6 still my guess for the season.
Can't see many more than that.

For sure, Duke is a joy to watch!

[Jack]

Duke may be the best offensive player at UM in like 5 to 10 years! We will see....

[raizecane]

beeri lmao,
I think that's where we will be on Monday but i'm a bit optimistic I admit.

Posted by: solarcane | September 15, 2012 at 05:22 PM

**************************************

It wont last long....we will drop after next week

[Jack]

Beer - I hope Golden stays! He seems like a young up and coming coach. He will give coach D another year, hard to evaluate your coordinator when most of his players are so freaking young! Let's see how this team grows this year.

I did not realize just how young this team is. We are starting all over. Just like 2008, now let's see what Al does over the next 3 years. Shannon changed coordinators and that did not work. Continuity is a good thing for a young team.

[solarcane]

beeri lmao,
I think that's where we will be on Monday but i'm a bit optimistic I admit.

[Q]

4real, are you serious.. ?! Coach golden is amazing. He was pretty much the only coach that looked at the longer picture and saw that he could build this team up and get Miami back in that national picture.

The defense looked better but missed tackles and sacks . The loss of Perryman is going to hurt next week.
Offense mainly Morris looked very horrible .. Duze was amazing Miami should use him Reggie bush at USC in space..where's #25¿

[BEERicane]

We are ranked 42? We have to be the most overrated team in the nation

[solarcane]

Bridgewater hitting 80+%

good to know Arthur Brown and Teddy were too scared to compete for time at the U so they settled for starting on ranked teams instead of swaggering around on the 42 ranked team in the nation like winners do.

[Jack]

Louisville has Hurtt recruiting south fl. He brought Brigwater with him, $$ lol

[BEERicane]

Golden isn't going anywhere. The dude can recruit, that's for sure. Just need to invest the $$ in solid coordinators (on D side for sure, jury still out in Fisch)

[Jack]

Sandusky scandal happened in Nov. Miami had already been put through 3 months on Bad press. Al Golden leaves we are screwed for sure, right??

[BEERicane]

When watching these SEC games, makes think at least we aren't coached by John L Smith or Gene Chizik

[4-Real]

Jack, Charlie Strong got 2 rings as dc @ uf remember? USC is already on probation remember? Bridgewater was a 5 star remember? Golden had a losing record @ temple remember? Our basketball coach is 80 years old remember? Lol

[orange 'n green in the vein]

Great minds BEER . . .

[orange 'n green in the vein]

Jack, pedo-state was the biggest college football scandal last year.

Rat face is small beans throwing a little person hissy-fit in prison because the NCAA isn't taking him at his word right now.

Excuses, excuses anyway you slice it.

[BEERicane]

Jack, the Penn State Scandal happened last year. I'm just sayin....

[Jack]

UNC NO BUTCH, NO GOOD!

[4-Real]

This is the end result of........

3. $ 55 camps & recruits 4 the sake of building bridges / mending fences in the hood instead of goin out with hat-in-hand recruiting some real ballerz instead of Corey King , Thurston whatever, Hunter wells etc..

2. Bogus depth charts & reverse Sigh-cology instead of true coaching.

1. Hiring a dude from temple in the 1st place.

[Jack]

Bro you can not tell me strong is better than Golden, not yet!! Al Golden had to deal with the biggest scandal in college football last season. This team is full of freshman, period! Give Golden a little time. We are yet to get handed our sanctions and that may set us back another year. Com on man

[Jiggafras]

Posted by: orange 'n green in the vein | September 15, 2012 at 04:52 PM

Bridgewater didnt want to come anymore because of the way the fans turned on Jacory, thats how it is. Thats how it is . Its only 3 games but remember Jacory started out gang busters in 09 until teams started figuring him out so lets see how TB does. We are in good shape at QB with Olsen coming in regardless

[TonyCane]

Four more wins, and we can declare that we will skip our second bowl. Should knock the NCAA ruling down to 1 year bowl ban.

[orange 'n green in the vein]

solar, you really were out of the loop here during your sabbatical weren't you? You didn't get the memo after Golden was hired that UM didn't need Bridgewater because he was just like Jacory Harris and from the same high school and everything? After all, if you follow the 2nd best passer in school history and are more athletic, you'll obviously suck picking up where he left off in college too or some other ridiculous false distributive property logic like that was the argument.

22-0, 2nd quarter for Harris' successor at MNW.

[4-Real]

Charlie Strong > Al Golden

[orange 'n green in the vein]

I actually expect D'No to muster up a decent effort next week but giving up over 200 yards rushing against this level of competition isn't confidence building. VT being back will help, hopefully Perryman's ankle isn't too gimpy to go at an effective level and the key will be winning the turnover battle, getting a fast start on offense and getting that all important 10-14 point lead so you can then trade TD's for GT for field goals as they try to trade scores to regain the lead and kill the clock on themselves since gaining four points like that takes 10 or more minutes for them.

[solarcane]

just walked in from oil change,tire rotation, bbq lunch, kayak shop,
Hope I didn't miss the game of the century.
Did we decimate the BCC in every phase of the game?

Is Bridgewater blasting UNC as OGV and I suspected?

[Ohio_Cane]

@millertime_6: I see them boys from Miami doing work for Louisville..

[Dan]

Fischs play calling would kf looked genius with a qb who could hit the side of a barn.

[Jack]

Ohio - even with Perryman we are in big trouble against GT.

[Jack]

Duke! Duke! Duke!

[Ohio_Cane]

We really need Perryman back for GT...

[Zakkee]

Very true Al! One thing that Butch does better than anyone but its routinely overlooked is the hiring of his coaching staff.

His last staff at UNC was very smart, competent, and successful at developing their 2 and 3 star talent. Remember the draft his last year?

[Jack]

GT loss
NCS win
ND loss
UNC win
FSU big loss
VT loss
UV win
Usf win
Duke win

If this happens we wind up 7-5 that would be huge for this young team. Give Golden his time. WE ARE LUCKY HE DID NOT LEAVE WHEN THE SHIPIRO BS HAPPENED!!! Com on man!

[Zakkee]

Exactly felipe!

I been saying this my boy Coke!

This underachievment is entrenched in our culture now.

They think that we can't have good academics and successful sports teams at the "same damn time".

Not true, we can have both. Thats some real corporate type sh*%!

[CoCane]

The administration will never like a winning coach. A winner has unjustifiable, undeniable swag. That means the football team would be bigger than them on campus. Those self serving azzholes are happy the team is babbage. They can all eat my azz with some chop sticks & soy sauce. I'LL GO BLACK DYNAMITE ON DEM MUTHA FUKKAZ!!!

[Al]

We need a real coach. Problem is until we get the sanctions, nobody will want to come. Maybe Butch, but he will never be hired because of
1)the way he left.
2)the trouble in UNC.
3)shalala doesnt care.
Too bad. Butch did not only assembled one of the best college football teams ever, he assembled a grrreat coacing staff. Just look at where the are today. He really coached up players.

[Jack]

Kirk herbstreet called it 6 wins for this young team would be about right!

I still expect 7 to 8

[Felipe]

Shouldn't have asked that question. No Coker arguments plz.

[CoCane]

& for u naysayers. Butch would come back if Diana Devito got her saggy flat azz off of her shoulders, put da benjamins on da table & said these simple words. "Da U needs U"...

[tjl3909]

[Felipe]

Since Schnell, has there even been a successful UM coach that they did like?

[raizecane]

G-Tech is gonna steamroll over this young defense. Prepare yourselves now so you won't be schocked next week.

[Zakkee]

they didn't like him because he could actually coach and reach the kids.

[CoCane]

That's why da "U" is down. The ones making the decisions aren't willing to do what it takes to come up. Bitch slaps for Shalala & her whole crew. They're responsible for this shyt we call a team...

[Felipe]

Glad to see Gionni Paul looking like he can contribute, hope this means Gaines is banished to special teams.

God, I couldn't agree more j.w.

[Zakkee]

But he couldn't lose with whats going on now.

Saban showed that he could do it twice and now everyone knows for certain that when he wins, its his game plan and masterful creation.

What Gay-Z say, "Dudes talking about they made Hov, I tell em' ok, make another Hov." In other words, if you are responsible for greatness once, then you should be able to produce it again.
