Game Day Blog: Miami vs Notre Dame

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

4real, he'll no! I'm as big of a cane fan as anyone! I just fear that if the allegations are proven, the NCAA will have no choice but to come down with unprecedented sanctions. The spin from the NCAA will be that our violations were in their own way were as bad or exceeding penn state. That said, because penn state did not get the death penalty we will not. I hope that I am wrong. It's vital that Miami get six wins this year and take another bowl ban. I think the minimum bowl ban by the NCAA will be three years.

Though some NCAA rules are pure bull hockey, its a shame this school cannot play with the rules and guidelines. RS was spot on with Shapiro...and other jerks like him. You have to keep the lambs from the wolves....and this may mean former players having limited access. Irvin said he used to call and text.....talk about a undesireable role model. I find him to be a very repulsive human....crying at HOF and crap...he is not a family guy at all...great player no doubt...but another loudmouth...I do not want him influencing players one on one....encouraging the team as a whole is one thing...calling and talking that ancient art of magic ie SWAG to kids....not good at all. Sad thing is that this happens just about everywhere.

I work with a guy who was a college receiver and is now about 35 years old. He played for a small college but he was very fast and scored a lot. In one game he chipped his front tooth. The other day the tooth fell out. Its a very noticeable change in his appearance but he doesnt have the money to pay to have it replaced.
I was thinking about all the people who profited from his success and the fans who got to enjoy victories because of it. It makes me sick to see a family man suffer without being repaid for it. Why should Al Golden be penalized for something that happened 4 years ago? You know that any time you get caught up in a situation where you lively hood is affected that you can sue the person who slandered your name and who went after your livelihood. I dont understand why people think there is no injustice done to people when the NCAA arbitrarily causes injury to innocent parties. In my opinion its the same thing as being harmed by someone personally.
